I can't help but wonder if that sub is mostly populated by men pretending to be women trying to make women look bad. Not saying that women are immune to being assholes, but it is :reddit-logo: after all, so I definitely wouldn't be surprised.

If anyone is unaware, this is not how fat naturally distributes on a naturally active person. Those who focus more on running long distances will become very lean, but not get the definition like this. And people who are focused on more stationary heavy labor (moving boxes, blacksmithing, etc) end up stocky with what we in the fat-obsessed west would call “a gut”. Look up pictures of people competing in strongman competitions. They are some of strongest people in the world, but a lot of them would be described as “chubby” by western beauty standards.
Body builders, meanwhile, call it “sculpting” for a reason. They are on some level trading off strength for definition, to make it more aesthetically pleasing by our beauty standards. I don’t know much about the personal training regiments that blockbuster movie productions employ, but I would guess they make similar tradeoffs despite not needing to get actors near the size of those who compete in worldwide competitions

Critical support for Jason Mamoa who had to stop drinking water for days to look shredded in Aquaman and almost died.
Fds is such as trip. Also pretty sure Disney gives him hardcore drugs to look like that
Kinda gotta be a genetic freak to look like thst naturally with low time investment. Bf has also been exercising since he was 16 and has an impressive look about him but that's what you get after 10+ years of investment without drugs . He still has a belly (with abs which is hot af I uh lick them all the time) when not cutting cause cutting is hell
Aren't literally all of the male MCU actors on record about how much of a pain in the ass it is to maintain that physique
replies:
Before shooting shirtless scenes, male actors have to severely dehydrate themselves starting several days before filming. Their skin loses so much moisture it becomes thinner, forming a tighter contour onto the muscles.
The actors themselves only look like this for 12 or so hours every few weeks at most.
It's literally less realistic than makeup
I forgot about this subreddit, free digital self harm
replies:
This subreddit has interesting lore it started as a pinkpillfeminism offshoot, and with some femcels which they called themself that. The pinkpillers use to support FDS with everything, but the subreddit mods betrayed them, and start to embrace lookism, and started to focus more appearance more.
FDS is a terf subreddit

This is the ideal male form. You may not like it, but this is what peak perfection looks like.
Obviously this is a glib and overstated case, made in service of a very questionable point, but it isn't totally wrong. I could look like that if I picked up more heavy things more often and starved myself sometimes.
