Look as a bi guy who has a ton of body image issues relating to the fact I can’t look like a Hemsworth you really need to stop with the memes about making fun of girls for dating dudes that don’t look like models.
I know you guys are probably making fun of people’s unconventionally attractive celebrity of the week but this shit needs to stop because seeing this kind of thing constantly is really grating on people with depression, body image issues or full on body dysmorphia.
You’re hitting people that aren’t your target.
Not everyone has the money or the time or even the fucking genetics to look like Chris Hemsworth. It’s a body built on years of 4+ hour gym reps, expensive personal trainers, an expensive and strict diet and a bunch of other shit you need to be on a completely different economic level to enjoy.
I’m not joking that before I got treated seeing shit like this used to send me into a crying fit.
Going off of this, stop fucking holding people to standards of what people look like in movies it’s all bullshit.
Movies aren’t real life and nobody looks like that unless they’re super dehydrated and eating a diet that is actually super unhealthy.

I know right? People need to understand that kind of body type is what a decent amount of gym time is gonna get you and most people don’t have the time or money to invest in that kind of body. Jason can take 3 months to get that kind of body on the studio dime. Your average Joe Shmo who works 8-12 hours a day, spends about an hour, hour and a half in traffic and has to take care of his place of living (maybe) his own cooking and do his own cleaning is not gonna have the time to spend the amount of time at the gym to earn that kind of “dad bod”.
There’s an underlying classist element to these kinds of arguements that favors the kind of people that get paid to maintain those kinds of bodies.
This, and honestly if you scratch these posts and memes just a little you’ll often find TERFs. Because a common TERF attack on bi wlw by them is “why would you choose an ugly man” and a VERY common TERF attack at trans people - whether trans womxn or trans men - is noting how “ugly” the person they’re hating on or their stereotype of us is.
There’s that creepy undercurrent as well. I’ve seen this kind of thing come from people that basically said “why chose your ugly partner when you could date me”. It’s projecting their own internal issues onto people and is a really unhealthy attitude to have.
It’s toxic as fuck and it makes bi and trans people feel unwelcome in the LGBTQ community.
Everyone really needs to knock that shit off.
