I agree. I go to a boxing gym and nobody ever acts up themselves. Probably because some of the guys in there can actually knock people out for talking s**t (I am not one of them I just like to train).

From my experience most people at a gym are more concerned with lifting heavy stuff then what other people are doing.

Maybe things are different in your world then. We got wall to wall mirrors at the gyms here.

I agree, and I think exercise is great and important.

I don't mean the people who are into being healthy, I mean the whole "pick up/hate/kill/rape chicks" side of things that goes along with their communities.

I know guys who to the gym every day and aren't "gym guys". But I also know "gym guys" when I see them, and those "gym guys" are a problem.

I wonder how you go about distinguishing between those who are trying to be healthy and those who "pickup/hate/kill/rape chicks", with your accurate baseless prejudice?

So some people who regularly go to gym aren't "gym guys", yet you know those "gym guys" when you see them, then clearly the gym isn't the real cause of those people's antisocialism, so why do you insist on calling them gym guys?

Maybe the real reason for their sociopathic ways aren't the gym and something else entirely, so then associating their behaviour with people who workout seems to be nothing other than lazy generalization

You're missing the point obviously.

the issue isn't with the action of going to the gym. It's with the misogynyst nature of the online subcultures and the people they attract and influence to murder.

This is what you said:

I'm all for people going to the gym and gaining confidence though, but yeah its the side effects and culture surrounding it.

So you totally said there are side effects to going to the gym and the culture surrounding it being the influence to these antisocial behaviour, yet at the same time you're trying to tell me the issue isn't the action of going to the gym? Are you George W Bush?

If people have antisocial tendencies then they will be attracted to that behaviour whether they go to the gym or not, keep trying to do baseless association with online communities is just nothing other than lazy generalization. I will say it again as you have obviously missed the point

What's with boxers and their penchant for domestic violence?

It's pretty clear that the MRA community is very dangerous and breeds domestic violence and murder.

I don't think that has anything to do with going to the gym or getting into good shape.

Obviously masculinity is the real problem.

State mandated estrogen shots when?

No god no he was nowhere near an average gym guy. An average gym guy is an annoyance not a killer. But their misogyny was attractive to him, even though he clearly wasn't a gym guy (which we both agree on).

That's what I'm focused on.


So these "gym guys" that are the problem, what do they look like? You said you can spot them. Do they dress or act in a certain way?

Wouldn't that be taking the thread a touch off topic?

Well in any case, they generally look the way campaigners would look, if that helps. If you can't spot one, you might be one.

Self hate has been a common tactic by Europeans in colonising Asians since, forever. Encouraging people to hate their own history, culture and religion is literally out of the colonial handbook. He may not have been consciously aware of it, but its very clear he was a self hating asian of mixed race.

As for stormfront, I'm, sure in 1995 there were tonnes of stormfront users who defended their community as being safe in spite of some rogue nuts. Just like the miscers and pua's and mra's do today.

That's why it might be important to identify a similar culture. They do share a lot of the same worldviews.
Asian countries have been continually fighting and pillaging each other for centuries before the British, French, Spanish, Dutch and Portuguese arrived. What effect do you think the Mongols had on Eastern Europe or the Turks on the Byzantine's?

The same argument can be made by self-hating EuroCommieMarxists forcing modern day Europeans to feel guilty for historical events that occurred centuries ago. That's another form of self-hate.

Would you say that Westerner's reading manga or watching anime to be self-hate? Would you say that Westerner's eating Indian curry's or Chinese dishes to be self-hate as well? How do you feel about whites wanting tans because they think they are too 'pale' and 'white'? According to you all these scenarious would be forms of colonialism against Europeans.

What do you think urges or compels individuals from different racial backgrounds to produce offspring that do not identify with either racial group of their respective parents? Mixed race children tend to grow up without feeling an affinity to either racial background of their parents - this is simply how group evolutionary psychology and identity has evolved throughout history.

Of course Eliott Rodger was going to blame his parents for bringing him up in a world where he felt as if he didn't belong to any racial group. They never taught him to appreciate and be proud of his mixed race identity and so his life's experiences resulted in him eventually hating his father (not sure about the mother).

And what worldview does this organisation 'Stormfront' embody and why is it so important to the discussion of this 'gym culture'???

No, it wouldn't. You brought it up that you can spot their type. I was interested to know how. Do they strut around? Wink at themselves in the mirror? I must be lucky, I haven't encountered people like this at mine.

Probably the same way George Zimmerman can spot black men who are trouble, like Trayvon MArtin

Sorry did I give you the idea that I could spot them purely by looks and not behaviour?

My mistake, I didnt' explain it well enough. No I can't identify them purely by look (though some are dead giveaways obviously, like the Turbo Tops Off Muzza's at the old school summadayze gigs) but by behaviour.

Generally their behaviour is described as dickish.

Correct. If you go to the gym, you're probably a murderer or have murderous tendencies. Sounds like a good tactic for the fat acceptance movement to utilise. Are you an avid user of Tumblr by any chance, The Coup?

I wonder if the continued attempts to link Elliot Rodger with the men's rights crowd is out of ignorance or malicious intent? I usually give people the benefit of the doubt, but I'm not so sure about this one.

Here's a quote from Elliot Rodger:
If you could release a virus that would kill every single man on Earth, except for yourself because you would have the antidote, would you do it?

You will be the only man left, with all the females. You would be able to have your pick of any beautiful woman, as well as having dealt vengeance on the men who took them from you. Imagine how satisfying that would be?

Men's rights advocate? That's a funny way of showing it.

I wonder what sort of sick, twisted murdering psycopath fat-hating rapist would ever go to the gym AND play video games?

Ohhh have a cry sweetheart.

You're little band of degenerate woman hating nerds is killing people because of their insecurity.

Elliot Rodger was clearly, CLEARLY, influenced by the hateful and sexist bullshit that comes out of the MRA crowd. He quoted their anti woman anti man bullshit constantly. He just never understood that they're a bunch of virgin assholes who think violence is ok if you don't get laid. I'll be honest, I dont get what its like not to have sex. I've been ******* since the day I got a stiffy. Clearly sex didnt happen naturally for you, so just go buy some. Dont force your bullshit conservatism on the rest of us normal people.

Oh, you don't liek being associated with psycho killers? Well stop associating with MRA's mate, cause that is literally the only thing they are. they stand for nothing other than trampling the rights of other people, they are literally the worst blokes going.
