But if there were any world where 8th-grade logic still reigns supreme, it's the world of amateur YouTube bodybuilders. And among that strangely cultish subsection of the population, few YouTubers command more attention that Boynton Beach's Jason Genova — a childlike, yet somehow captivating, aspiring bodybuilder whose day job is bag boy at Publix. Genova's mannerisms have led some viewers to speculate that he is autistic, a description he denies.
Genova spent this week ordering his massive following to harass another bodybuilder online. That much-bigger bodybuilder claimed to have felt threatened, and in turn, at a public event, slap-boxed Genova on camera. This shocked some viewers, who saw it as bullying, if not assault. The hubub has become something of a scandal within the bodybuilding community.
Genova was the subject of a November 2015 New Times feature story that won a Sigma Delta Chi award from the Society of Professional Journalists. Genova, a man equally obsessed with getting swole and making Star Wars references, commands a legion of 26,734 subscribers on YouTube, who seem willing to do his bidding. They're all devotees to the church of "broscience" — that is, the culture of amateur gym-rats sharing advice in person and on the internet.
