A lot of Bodybuilders flame the guy for asking 20 bucks for a picture at an Expo, While Others make their "bodybuilding money" thru selling drugs,schmoe sessions,fake supps or even G4P.........
The Irony.
Seriously though, the guy even keeps himself in shape years after competing.
My guess is that Lou does a lot of the comic conventions as the Hulk, where the $20 is probably very standard.
Having a marketability outside of bodybuilding, he's probably not worried about pissing off the bodybuilding crowds, and sees them as "fans," not fellow bodybuilders.
Exactly, lou keeps himself in shape, it'd be one thing if he were fat and out of shape, but he delivers.
Half the reason he'd start this is because of collectors selling his stuff on ebay.
It's the main reason most sci fi guys won't sign shit, and if they do only at conventions.
He lives in a different world than most bodybuilders as he was the only guy to become famous for just his body.
The beta male complex is strong with these complainers, arnold admittedly screwed over virtually everyone he met coming up. No one thinks he's greedy or bad when the evidence would suggest otherwise.
People don't hate lou because he's ammoral, doing something wrong, or any more greedy than anyone else.
Their angry because the guy looks like a smuck because he's not smooth.
Which is understandable when he can hardly fucking talk.
