"I'm an incredibly cruel and shallow asshole that demands that everyone conforms to my beauty standards and my love for a woman will only ever be skin deep and transactional. Why can't I keep a gf?"

Gad damn, even the dudes on that site that have girlfriends are miserable and hate their perfect waifu the moment they change slightly physically (or don't change enough if the dude suddenly decided he likes a different aesthetic). They'll complain that women only date muscular men, then complain when women don't date muscular men. They'll complain about "ugly" women but at the same time complain that they themselves aren't attractive enough to get girls. They're incredibly shallow while complaining that every woman they date is shallow. The lengths they go to avoid self-reflection must be wild.

The misunderstanding of The Substance in particular made me laugh. The film is critiquing the exact shallow obsessions these dorks chase, and instead of taking a step back and asking themselves "Are we the baddies?" They just whine about how it's not a film about how hard it is for men to go through rejection. As if their isn't already a million things like that in media, and as if it's only men that go though embarrassing dating troubles.

That's a really bad example, too. Dany goes from being a teenager that's like 14 to being an adult in her 20s over the course of the series. Of course she's going to gain weight...she's literally supposed to be taller and done with puberty by season 8.

But yes. The fitness bros are not okay. Total hypocrites with zero understanding of actual human biology.

She also goes from slave to royalty, wherein her social value rests on more than her body by the end of the series.

* With the necessary caveat that this is in the context of a highly patriarchal and misogynistic feudal society, so her autonomy still has limits far lower than that of a man in the same position
