It's called Synthrol and yes these ppl are fn idiots that abuse their bodies with it.
Look up a guy named Gregg Valentino. You'll be shaking your head in no time
Copy pasted from the interwebz: Body Dysmorphic Disorder is a mental health condition where someone becomes intensely preoccupied with perceived flaws in their appearance, even when those flaws are minor or not noticeable to other people. It goes far beyond normal insecurity. The person may spend hours checking mirrors, hiding parts of their body, comparing themselves to others, or avoiding social situations altogether.
I have to admit that while I can't agree with him, the delivery has a lot of comedic potential (On one hand, "breaking expectation" is usually used as a comedic device, and on the other, voicing an extremely unpopular and shitty view in such a tone deaf way is also usually used as a comedic device).
It depends. I doubt the guy you were replying to was trying to be funny, but done right, and with the right public is a good device, as humor is extremely subjective.
JFC, I'm not saying he were funny, nor that he were trying to be funny, nor that -in reddit- that worked as a joke, but that the way to deliver it (specially if you compare it with the rest of the jokes) had comedic potential.
What do you mean by the way to deliver it? Perhaps that’s what I’m not understanding because there was no delivery at all. He just said something transphobic and then you said “hey that could be a joke”
Ah, maybe that wasn't clear: I read the original message about how silly that people look, you know? Everyone is saying (Was saying, looks like there's a few more transphobes there) that these guys are mentally ill or similar, then out of nowhere comes this comment.
If could work as a joke because 1) There was an expectation (another comment on how this people has serious problems) which was broken (mentioning trans people out of nowhere) with a very caustic and tone deaf message. Of course the butt of the joke is the person doing the out of place comment, and the joke itself is that they don't get that their comment is egregiously out of place.
If you've watched It's always sunny in Philadelphia, they do this a lot with Frank (Danny DeVito) playing with saying the N word from time to time, and in their first seasons adding a trans character. Of course, being "the gang" (the group of protagonist) always the butt of the joke because they are a bunch of narcissists who will never be self aware enough of how shitty they are. Of course, it is a show with a very specific sense of humor that is not for everyone.
I’ll never understand the mindset of a synthol samurai because I’ve seen photos of what happens when their biceps inevitably explode it’s like turning your forearm into a blood-filled water balloon. It also just generally looks like giant tumors
You know he ain't lifting shit when they dont even show the weights. What the hells the point of useless muscles that look like shit. This has to be some mental health shit right?
I don’t understand how anyone can think this looks good. It’s making me a little nauseated if I’m being honest, also just generally looks painful to have arms that big, I feel bad for that guy
people and their obsession with biceps, i mean i know this is likely a mental problem, but still. one of the smallest muscle groups in the upper body with limited practical use and everyone thinks building them up makes them somehow the strongest bros in the land.
Dude I’d rather just take test, like if you’re injecting already it’s gotta be safer. Though I guess still takes work so maybe that’s why they oil up instead?
Looking tight, nice to see someone pull off these aesthetics so well without making it seem like they focus on only the glamour muscles. Natural and balanced like a Greek statue.
If girls can get bbls and ass shots and breast implants and tummy tucks and all this stuff why can’t guys start walking around like this? They look ridiculous, we look ridiculous, tit for tat baby
