Look, I haven't read anything but the first page, but don't you guys see that the problem isn't, at its root, money or going (more) mainstream or whatever...
the problem is that the idea of BODYBUILDING COMPETITION itself is inherently DEGENERATE and, yes, gay!!!
(notice I didn't say gay = degenerate)
I mean, why the fuck do people have to get up on stage to show of their glistening, oil-soaked, thong-clad glute striations anyway? Is this REALLY why anyone is interested in bodybuilding in the first place?
Isn't bodybuilding about -- hasn't it always been about -- building the ideal body? And what is an ideal body for? For sitting atop a pedestal and being gawked at like some sort of artwork?
No!!!
It's for showing your excellence, for attracting bitches, for performing -- whether feats of athleticism, raw strength, or feats of endurance, feats of impressing (ladies, men, whatever)...
putting this body you've worked for up on a pedestal is saying "appreciate me! please! look how incredible i am! imagine what i can do!"
WHO DOES THAT?! Isn't it clear how PATHETIC the whole idea of bodybuilding competition is? It's admitting that your body is nothing more than a showpiece -- nothing more than a painting or perhaps more accurately a sculpture -- that has no value other than inspiring someone's imagination by inviting FALSE fantasies! With that advent of steroids, it was always a mystery whether these bodies were really "all show and no go" -- well what better way to eliminate all mystery and PROVE that you are, indeed, nothing more than an illusion of excellence by stepping up on stage?
The moment a bodybuilder steps on stage he displays his contempt for the world, which is only too eager to participate with him in this fantasy charade of the "beautiful body," which in the end is no more than a hollow chassis with no engine.
