I have a deep hatred for myself, too, plus depression, but that all started from primary school bullying, which then continued into high school. I'm 36 now and those haven't gone away. I do believe social media have maintained that for me, although that's hard to pin down. Constant access to news and pornography and the crushing weight of capitalism and expectation (for me, anyway) doesn't help.

I feel like I'm lucky that schooling was in the 90's and early 00's, where MySpace was the only social media available. I left school in 2003, and Facebook was invented a year later. I really don't know how kids these days navigate such things, but I can't imagine that it's easy for them.

There were a couple threads for that:

viewtopic.php?f=2&t=95623
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=129395

Wouldn't hurt to necromance one of them.

The best way to stay young is the refusal to exist with your eyes in the rear-view mirror, never believing whatever existed in the era you were a youth in is the be-all end-all of that subject. If there was one phenomenon I have noticed among the two younger generations, which can be best attributed to the internet, is their dismissal of anything from the past. Now, "that was a long time ago," is something people obviously said prior to the internet and there is nothing wrong with that position itself. It is not an issue that the words are uttered by people as ipso facto but the demonstration of how much their perspective lacks depth. ... .Here is a simple example:

"That was a different time," in response to the invention of the telephone is a factually accurate statement; 1876 was definitely a different time. The issue is not that the statement is untrue, it’s those who say it because they could not be bothered to care about much of anything that is not 'current'. The societal zeitgeist in 2022 is far more secular than in, say, 1972, yet it is mostly the younger generation that fails to understand how evolution works. No one would be claiming Alexander Graham Bell's first phone is in anyway high-tech to what phones could do today but a phone is a phone by definition, therefore no matter how much more advanced the phones are 146 years after that first one, it is still a device whose primary function(see: reason for existing) is to communicate with someone. So claiming any basal form of phones are irrelevant is not just factually incorrect, it is intellectually dishonest and yet people tout this mindset with pride. They will vocalize this vacuous mindset with a glowing sense of pride, as if it was honorable to be ignorant.

The "boomer" insult is just one of the Internet's unique ways of dismissing potential wisdom with colorful insults and laughter. Other commonly used phrases are "grammar Nazi", "r/iamverysmart", and "well ackshually" (done with alternating capitals). It's completely lacking in substance as an argument and is even fallacious, as it suggests that all who think outside a certain paradigm (the most modern one) are invalid.

Well yeah, it's kinda totally a joke, no point getting upset about it lol

But I think that's only natural, every generation rebels against their parents, and appears more progressive, I'm more progressive in a sense than my parents, but I also tend to see the world a similar way to my father, of course I'm a little more lenient on shit, but ehh I find myself closer to his way of thinking than what's cool among my age group.

I also find my generation excessively corporatized, ironic considering all they do is bitch about corporations, even more Insulting is this strange notion that in order for a marginalised social group to have "made it" so to speak it needs representation through corporate mainstream channels, I find that notion to be utterly hilariously hypocritical and lame.

Ehh, I think most people my age have their heart in the right place, but this whole mass acceptance thing just gets annoying to me, I wish more people would just mind their own business I guess, Instead of always having to take major stands about everything.

Nah man, if anything memes have certainly gotten better over the last decade than the normie bullshit you'd encounter pre-2013/2014 in general.

While I partly agree with your point, I must also note how many good ironic/shitposty/surreal memes there exist out there.

You really should care more about yourself. This is not egotistical, but happiness is the most important thing for everyone.

However I can emphasize since I have never done any sort of social media beyond forums or IRC and as a result I have seen every real world friend or even family drop me from their life without so much as a word. In retrospect I'm better off without people like that, but most weren't able of resisting the temptation of social connection even if it meant compromising themselves for faceless corporate data mining platforms. Platforms that have taken upon themselves to inflict multifaceted and endless amounts of social, psychological and political manipulations upon their user base from every directions. Even at the cost to already existing communities which have been damaged, fractured or even destroyed now.

I'm probably too young for this thread but I feel this heavily. I'm glad someone else knows what it's like to deal with long-term strife from a very young age, and the effect it has on your self-esteem. I hope you're doing okay man.

Thanks guys. I'm doing alright. :) I'm better in my 30's than I ever was in my 20's so I'm taking that as a win. Hope you're all doing good, too.

Mopeds and electric scooters...

I know mopeds were always tuned to go faster and faster, but nowadays it's everywhere. Even electric scooters can be made to move 70 km/h!

It feels like mankind's self-preservation has gone even lower than a few decades before. Add alcohol and drugs and to that picture and it gets even worse (I'm not going to talk about cars...).

You cannot hear a scooter approaching. Still they are used cycleway (shit, I'm not going to cycles, which are allowed on same path as walkers... except for people do not know how to use bike's bell!).

Actually everything is faster nowadays. I cannot stay with the modern pace. I have knowingly made myself obey the speed limits. Some folks at work go "go faster, we are in a hurry!" Well, I am not in a hurry at work either. I made myself work slower in the physical work I have. I haven't got any negative comment as yet, so maybe I'm not that slow a worker.

old post sorry but i would really like to point out that there is no such thing as "idiotic" and "wrong" feelings or "bad thinking patterns". ironically assigning any moral quality to them (including the idea of "validating" them you seemed to notice among your peers) is increasingly becoming another symptom of alienation this past century is characteristic of. though i think it's normal to struggle with them at a young age

I was doing my own research, on YouTube, about shoemaking, and shoe repair, and leather in general, and I got some ad, that offended me. I was looking for information about different materials, and shoe designs, and how that relates, to things like comfort, and durability, and it gave me this fucking ad, for sneakers. It was some infomercial thing, and the “testimonials” were those fucking CCP five second video app things.

It was a bunch of normies, saying how these sneakers are great, because they have laces, but the heels are flexible enough, that you can slip them on or off. Is that what’s considered cool these days? Being too lazy to tie laces? Do these people want to keep buying new shoes, when they tear holes in these things so often? Or do they do office jobs, and never go outside?

Modern shoe designs are a step backwards! I should clarify, I own some sneakers. A pair of weightlifting shoes, for squatting, cleans, that kind of thing. And a pair of minimalist shoes, for general lifting, and running. But other than that, sneakers are lame.

Most of my shoes are leather, which is stitched down, to the sole, and can be resoled. What advantages do sneakers offer? Lighter? Well, good for running, or lifting, I guess, but leather shoes are better, in extreme heat. They are heavier, but they are made of animal hide, which has pores. You end up sweating less, than with synthetics. Synthetic insoles can break in faster, and be more comfortable quicker, but they don’t last as long. The downsides of animal products? This is a fair, ethical objection, but “vegan leather” is vinyl, which is ecologically worse, and doesn’t last as long! It resists abrasion well, but it can’t be oiled, like real leather, so it cracks, where it moves. Leather shoes last way longer, and conform to the shape of your foot. And the more durable construction methods will preserve this comfort for longer. The cattle industry isn’t problem free, but you end up wasting less of the planet’s resources, and using less plastic, with old school shoe construction.

I’m not saying we should go back to the Stone Age, as most of this technology was perfected around World War II. But you’d be way better off, with tribal deerskin moccasins, than wearing plastic bags on your feet. Iron Maiden said “die with your boots on,” and that’s what I wear, most of the time. My shoes are my armor, against dirt, sand, water, trash, abrasives, biohazards, cuts, diseases, blood, guts, and shit. I don’t get to sit at a desk all day. What’s with this trend, of wearing sandals, and no socks, and then wearing the worst performing, least practical shoes? Are people actually this dumb? To think that spending more money, over time, on a worse product, is a good thing? Are people dumb enough, to watch tick tock 5 second videos, when they could be rocking and getting laid? I hope not.

As somebody who's worked in humid 90-100°F (32-38°C) all summer, often doing heavy lifting and sweating buckets for 7-8 hours a time, my safety toe SNEAKERS are better than my BOOTS by a long shot.

My response to this post: listen to the song “Shoes” by King’s X. I think it will be an enlightening experience.

Honestly anything running on electrical power get on my nerves.

Not because they are bad. It is the marketing behind them that makes no sense. People have bought the lie that electric cars can solve the problem of pollution but they cannot. Not while companies destroy thousands of acres to mine materials that completely wipe out the entire ecosystem of the area. Not while shipment of said materials produces extreme amounts of pollution through means of transport.

Electric cars are NOT the solution because ICE cars are NOT the problem. The problem is capitalism and the ideology of pseudo luxury that companies sell. It is unacceptable for me to change your car every 5 years or your smartphone every 3 years. That is were things like right of repair getting away or planned obsolescence take place.

Lastly it is unfair for me to punish motorcycle riders for not wearing a complete equipment kit and allow e-bike riders or electric scooter riders reach almost the same speed, in urban areas, without any form of protection.


Also I completely agree on the fast paced nature of today. I am do pissed when people watch things at double the speed or when they select to eat total garbage in order to finish thei work. Since when did things like our health or pleasure of eating or even entertainment became another way to consume? Fucking hell...

I'm not opposed to electric bikes, they have their place BUT... As a trail rider, I get super annoyed when I'm cranking up a steep single track trail, entirely 100% under my own power, and along comes some e-bike jockey with his rig set to "ultra tesla turbo-glide race mode" who starts riding my ass, and acting like he's frickin' king of the road. And all the while not even breaking a sweat, while I'm in a full dead wind sprint, legs churning, just trying to just get him off my back. It's like, okay, you wanna ride those things on the trails, but... give those of us "old-schoolers" who actually, you know, like to ride for exercise, a break and don't act like you own the trails and wanna show off and race everyone you come across.

On the streets, or on wide paved bike paths where there's plenty of room, that's different.

I'm not even in my 30's yet and already feel out of place. Your post here rang true for me: discord is an cleverly named app. It seems like one of the most unsocial "social" apps ever made. Everything gets lost in multi person servers and the connection found there is incredibly lacking. Either I haven't been meeting the right people, or the amount of people willing to have actual conversations via electronic mediums is extremely low. I feel disconnected from all of my "friends" because of this. How can you honestly call someone a friend if the extent of your contact is sharing superficial media and exchanging one word responses, if that!?

Not trying to say connecting with people was easier in a pre-internet age (I wouldn't know), but it's just frustrating to not really have any meaningful connections, which are the dominant ones cultivated through online mediums.

I'm 41 and until about 2010, I had a big cd collection and decent book collection. I ended up getting an mp3 player, then a Kindle Fire. Much more convenient and saves lots of space. I'm not big into facebook, mainly scrolling down the wall(where half is annoying ads) and looking and groups. My wife is a Tiktok addict. From what I've seen of it, people just have too much time on their hands.

I shifted my hatred towards these "social" apps, like Reddit and Discord, to a clean professional approach. I use them as tools. I only log on Reddit when I want to search for the Monster Energy community - I am an avid collector of this caffeine tsar bomb -. I am only on MA server and tech servers on Discord were I browse for F1 technical studies or some fitness stuff.

I have tried to read a book through my phone and I cannot. It is not the same dude. A book is something you hold, something that you watch under the night lamp, with a printed beautiful font...




For those who want to browse the major social media apps anonymously, without being tracked, without bloated JS etc. check out Nitter (custom Twitter instance), Teddit (Same for reddit) and the Privacy Redirect extension. There used to be the Bibliogram instance for Instagram but Meta in their infinite wisdom decided to make the database and timeline completely unreachable.

I'm 41 and until about 2010, I had a big cd collection and decent book collection. I ended up getting an mp3 player, then a Kindle Fire. Much more convenient and saves lots of space. I'm not big into facebook, mainly scrolling down the wall(where half is annoying ads) and looking and groups. My wife is a Tiktok addict. From what I've seen of it, people just have too much time on their hands.


I have tried to read a book through my phone and I cannot. It is not the same dude. A book is something you hold, something that you watch under the night lamp, with a printed beautiful font...



I think the Kindle Fire is better. I put it in dark mode, where the screen is black. Books are way cheaper this way too. Im in a few facebook groups that post free/cheap books. A regular priced book is usually $3 to $5. I should mention that I read mainly independant horror authors.

a phone (or a tablet) is absolutely nothing like an actual e-reader, like the kindle. comparing a book to a pile of stone tablets is about as accurate

Same here. I do have a couple of digital books, but to me, they just feel off when I'm reading it on pixels. Besides, it's cool to have a physical copy of the book anyway.

Where do you live at, exactly? I live close-by to Target and Walmart, and they both still sell CDs.

No Walmart or Target around here sells CD anymore. Not even Best Buy does.

Luckily we got Rasputin / Mad Monk though, so it's all cool. :-D

When I lived in Irvine, California briefly I was in a similar situation to FYF79 but instead of opting for streaming, every so often I would take the 2.5 hour drive down to L.A. to shop at Amoeba Music. Great store. Every time I went there I would spend way too much money. :lol:

I was doing my own research, on YouTube, about shoemaking, and shoe repair, and leather in general, and I got some ad, that offended me. I was looking for information about different materials, and shoe designs, and how that relates, to things like comfort, and durability, and it gave me this fucking ad, for sneakers. It was some infomercial thing, and the “testimonials” were those fucking CCP five second video app things.

It was a bunch of normies, saying how these sneakers are great, because they have laces, but the heels are flexible enough, that you can slip them on or off. Is that what’s considered cool these days? Being too lazy to tie laces? Do these people want to keep buying new shoes, when they tear holes in these things so often? Or do they do office jobs, and never go outside?

Modern shoe designs are a step backwards! I should clarify, I own some sneakers. A pair of weightlifting shoes, for squatting, cleans, that kind of thing. And a pair of minimalist shoes, for general lifting, and running. But other than that, sneakers are lame.

Most of my shoes are leather, which is stitched down, to the sole, and can be resoled. What advantages do sneakers offer? Lighter? Well, good for running, or lifting, I guess, but leather shoes are better, in extreme heat. They are heavier, but they are made of animal hide, which has pores. You end up sweating less, than with synthetics. Synthetic insoles can break in faster, and be more comfortable quicker, but they don’t last as long. The downsides of animal products? This is a fair, ethical objection, but “vegan leather” is vinyl, which is ecologically worse, and doesn’t last as long! It resists abrasion well, but it can’t be oiled, like real leather, so it cracks, where it moves. Leather shoes last way longer, and conform to the shape of your foot. And the more durable construction methods will preserve this comfort for longer. The cattle industry isn’t problem free, but you end up wasting less of the planet’s resources, and using less plastic, with old school shoe construction.

I’m not saying we should go back to the Stone Age, as most of this technology was perfected around World War II. But you’d be way better off, with tribal deerskin moccasins, than wearing plastic bags on your feet. Iron Maiden said “die with your boots on,” and that’s what I wear, most of the time. My shoes are my armor, against dirt, sand, water, trash, abrasives, biohazards, cuts, diseases, blood, guts, and shit. I don’t get to sit at a desk all day. What’s with this trend, of wearing sandals, and no socks, and then wearing the worst performing, least practical shoes? Are people actually this dumb? To think that spending more money, over time, on a worse product, is a good thing? Are people dumb enough, to watch tick tock 5 second videos, when they could be rocking and getting laid? I hope not.


This is honestly one of the most bizarre Internet rants I've ever seen. First of all, I thought this was the boomer rant thread, not the Gen Alpha rant thread, because unless you are younger than 10 years old you cannot possibly think TikTok has any bearing on sneakers' popularity. America's been in love with sneakers probably since before the fucking World Wide Web existed. Leather shoes are comfortable? In what universe? People wear leather shoes because they look fancy and we're obligated to look fancy or nice and clean cut and professional in certain situations so we begrudgingly have to wear them when we have to. Sneakers are far more comfortable. You also seem to be angry at and resentful at people with desk jobs? Why? Are people with desk jobs forcing you to wear sneakers? By the way puh-lenty of those with desk jobs wear leather shoes because they're obligated to look professional so even they wear leather shoes to work, begrudgingly. I've been in this situation. It sucks. I no longer have a desk job but an active job in a warehouse where until recently their only real dress code rules regarding shoes was no open toed, no backless heels, and any "platform" or whatever can only be so high. Now they force us to wear safety shoes. These shoes suck. They're uncomfortable and I hate them. But the ones I had before were far worse. Boots. Ugh. God what I wouldn't give to be able to wear sneakers at work again. I wear sneakers whenever I go anywhere else other than work. Which brings me to my next point: In whatever you do that necessitates you to need such durable shoes, that does not apply to most people. Sometimes people's basic shoe needs are walking to / from the car and inside buildings. What's the point of needing such durable, meaning uncomfortable according to literally everyone on earth except you, apparently, shoes? No one's forcing you to buy sneakers and maybe you can just focus on your own shoe needs and not worry so much about what other people's shoe needs are?

Damn, those are some sweet record stores, what I’d give to have even only one of those in my city. Because let’s face it, Walmart CD section is uhh… limited and it’s mostly censored stuff anyway. :-P

I went to the mall a few months ago and there was a new record store that specialized in metal albums and shirts. I was pretty impressed.
Last time I was at Best Buy, they had maybe two rows of cd's, but that was around 10 years ago. Target/walmart was always mainstream shit.

That’s my specialty, bizarre internet rants. But what I meant was, I used to wear Vans, or Chuck Taylors which have the sole glued on. After a few days, the rubber cracks, which means that dirt, sand, and gravel gets inside the shoe. So, from my perspective, I have more comfort, with a shoe that doesn’t have that. I wasn’t talking about business dress shoes, I was talking more about boots. Safety toes can be uncomfortable, I agree. But a pair that is shorter, has laces that go all the way down, and doesn’t have a safety toe, to me, that’s the ideal shoe, because it breaks in, and fits my foot like a glove. My foot’s not sliding around, dirt and rocks stay out of my shoe. As far as removing grease and disgusting fluids, leather is easier to clean off than those fabric things. Sometimes you drink a lot, and vomit all over yourself, sometimes you get caught in a sewage disaster, sometimes you cut yourself, and blood gets everywhere, all these things have happened to me. I’d rather be prepared and not need it, than need it and not be prepared. I’m a paranoid survivalist, because of experience.

The thing is, and this is not any one individual’s fault, and people are, of course influenced by things beyond their control, but, it’s a culture that doesn’t value durability, or practice maintenance and repair. And this has consequences, in the form of more waste. In this respect, what others do can affect me, just as what I do can affect them. It’s not something with an easy solution, but waste needs to be reduced. I wasn’t saying that others must do what i order, but maybe it came across that way, because I dislike young people in general, and want them to ‘get off my lawn.’ I guess it was less of a “baby boom” generation rant, and more of a “pre-world war II” generation rant. We shouldn’t go back to the nineteenth century, despite what some bedroom black metallers say, we should do what Bruce Lee said, and take what is useful, and discard what is not.

Is it strange for me to insist on wearing leather shoes because it makes it easier for me when I get drunk and vomit all over myself?

No, it's the children who are wrong.

Yeah, you’ve got it. But seriously, I do have to be prepared and paranoid. I live in a place with wildfire risk almost year round, and have had to evacuate. These kids, on their phones and apps, they just don’t get it. We live in a society, we live on a planet. Globalization, waste, cheap, crappy consumer goods, I don’t know, they have some downsides.

I’ve got another anti-modern complaint. I’m against disposable stuff, in general, but, you want to know the history, of those disposable “safety razors?” I shave with a straight razor, but only the neck, so I don’t look like a neckbeard. You just have to not do any slicing. No throwing stuff in landfills, and it’s idiot proof, to sharpen. No need to spend years, studying the blade. The safety razor was popularized, because they were issued to soldiers in World War I, so that they would shave, and the gas masks would fit. Shaving one’s face became the fashion, because men wanted to look like that. So it was kind of like stolen valor poserdom, in a way.

Also, what’s with those remote car keys? The other stuff in my pockets pushes against the buttons, and sometimes it does things, when I don’t want it to. Were regular keys “not good enough?” Some of this stuff just seems like a solution in search of a problem.

I apologize, for being so obnoxious. I just never liked young people, even when I was young. I’m biased and ageist. Maybe I’m mistaken though…maybe I should be against people my own age. I guess I’ll think about it.

Edit: I don’t like big box stores. Or cheap crap made in China.

I'm actually a big fan of those, but I have one MAJOR complaint, very similar to yours: That stupid fucking alarm button. The only times I have EVER pressed it was turning it on by accident (accident every single last fucking time) or on purpose to turn the alarm off because A FEW SECONDS AGO I ACCIDENTALLY PUSHED THE FUCKING BUTTON WHICH TURNED IT ON. Get the fuck rid of that button or else make it so it only turns the alarm off, fuck turning the alarm on.

I don't use them myself, as I barely drive and have never owned a car manufactured after 2002, but they're popular where I live because the winters are terrible. People like having the ability to warm their car up without going outside in the brutal cold and fumbling with a key while their fingers go numb.

I apologize for the way I said some of the things I said, in this thread. I thought about why I hate young people so much, and I realized why. It’s because I’m jealous, of some of them. When I was growing up, I wasn’t allowed to, or able to, have fun, so I get mad, when I see them enjoying their lives. I grew up in the age of nu metal, and I missed out on all of the extremely extreme fun. I don’t like to see them being less miserable, than I was.

We should all stop believing in the ‘generation war’ media nonsense, and think for ourselves. But, we should all agree, tick tock is harmful propaganda and a waste of life, and machine gun Kelly’s music suck ass, and he’s a pedophile.

Trust me, man, there are just as many of us that are miserable as there are that are happy. We're an online generation, and the internet has so much potential to make people miserable. As welcoming as some parts of the internet can be, it's a double edged sword, because I feel like it's made the spreading of gross crap such as bigotry and body shaming much easier. Memey humor is often used as a vehicle for these things. See the amount of traction that statements like "fat girls need to go to the gym lol" and "triggered SJW" memes have gotten. They make it seem like other body types, genders, sexualities, and recognition of social injustice issues are all bad things, or at the very least, things to be laughed at and joked about with impunity. Such a thing is very damaging to social progress because it desensitizes people to it and makes statements like "it's just a joke bro, chill lol" more believable for bystanders and useful idiots.

And the body shaming thing - you might notice that recently, there's been a wave of bodybuilding popularity among young men on the Internet. I've observed it in real time as some friends of mine have gotten into it. It's a subculture that is so addictive because set before you is the idea that you can become the ideal figure of Western society and all the ladies will love you and lesser men will respect you. It gains alarming amounts of traction on social media as men post pictures of themselves flexing at the gym or shirtless in the mirror. People chase this shit obsessively, working themselves in unhealthy ways and trying to attain physiques that might literally not be within their physical capability to reach just because of how they're built. It's a community that breeds intolerance of other body types, and because it's overwhelmingly male-dominated, it also breeds manosphere bullshit like MGTOW, pickup artist tactics, and general misogyny. Again, I have observed this happen among my friends in real time as they get into bodybuilding and go from easygoing, tolerant people into grouchy, subtly misogynistic bodybuilder wannabes who look down on other body types and people who don't exercise, and don't want to hang out with women or date them because they think that they've been "corrupted" by women. It breaks my heart to see it happen because I know they have it in them to be good people but they're actively avoiding it and they'll deny to their last breath that their mindsets are fucked up, no matter how subtle.

As much gross shit as there is on the internet and as much as I hate it sometimes, it never ceases to amaze me how decent people can be from time to time. I've been in some genuinely great, inclusive spaces online where I've met friends and been able to socialize in a way that I've never been able to do in real life. And just about everyone has some kind of issue they're struggling with, like life in general, abusive households, past trauma, gender/sexuality identity, and depression. As happy as we can seem in our day-to-day lives, not many people truly are. The ones that are outgoing and happy are the ones you are most likely to see as a bystander, but that's not representative of people my age. It's not representative of people of any age.

But the ones that are introverted, the ones that are members of downtrodden minority groups, and the ones that struggle with mental health issues are the ones who are going to be the most friendly, empathetic and accepting. That's where I've found the most wholesome parts of the internet. You don't get that kind of environment from people whom everything comes easy to. Every time I see "wholesome" or "motivating" stuff being spread by people whom everything comes easy to, it feels sickeningly fake.

As someone who’s been into bodybuilding and strength training for a while, this is very disturbing, and it’s not new. I think many of the people posting extremist things on bodybuilding forums don’t even train. At least, the incel ones don’t. They’d rather just complain that all that lifting effort won’t get you laid, and they can’t see, that it’s the same as Elliot Rodger, thinking he would get laid because of money. Being a genuine asshole, combined with lack of charisma, means it’s not going to work. The irony of all of this, is that bodybuilding gets men lots of attention from men. Many competitive bodybuilders pay for all their drugs, through prostitution, and cam shows, allegedly. It’s definitely better for getting men’s attention than women’s.

The best thing one can do, to get jacked, is train with discipline, for years and years. But that doesn’t make good clickbait. It’s also amazing, just how sheltered and isolated some of these people are. I think that many of them have rich parents, and don’t shop for groceries. Because if they did that, they’d see plenty of average looking men, with average looking women, at the store. It just turns out that they know how to do social interaction, because they spend time practicing it, rather than just consuming clickbait, porn, and video games. Although, these extremist philosophies, like religions, usually have some “excuse,” as to why all the contradictory evidence actually means something else.

That's what the trend says, like in the spaces I've been in, steroids and enhancements are almost universally frowned upon because it's indicative of not putting in the work. My problem is not with bodybuilding or exercise itself - there's nothing wrong with doing that. The culture that almost inherently grows around bodybuilding and exercise, though, is what I truly despise. So much, actually, that I stopped my own weight lifting and exercise routines, because the exercise and bodybuilding culture among young men killed my motivation. I didn't want to be associated with it anymore. If the room exists within bodybuilding for misogyny and body intolerance to gain footing so easily, then something's wrong with the culture and it's gotta change. If I meet anyone these days who's into bodybuilding or lists going to the gym as one of their hobbies, 4 times out of 5 they're a young man who displays thinly veiled misogyny or other bigoted tendencies yet denies to their last breath that they're bigoted, is very quick to make "fat girls need to go to the gym" cracks, and is generally unempathetic and apathetic towards societal and interpersonal problems. All the kind of people I do not want to interact with.
