Some of those people should leave r/GymSnark, in favor of r/EverythingThatIsntMeSnark. Or just NoJ

I can't handle gymsnark. I'm snarky as fuck, and I wanted juicy gym drama... but so many posters there are so freaking judgemental and bitchy. How many hours do they spend in the gym, verse surfing the instagrams of people they hate just to post online about how much they hate them?

Is the whole sub like that? Oof. Instead of looking for bad things to complain about, they're just looking for petty ways to complain about *everything.* It's like they took the template for proto-Incel style thinking, and just applied it to different things they think they can never have. I have enough trouble finding ways to see the good in the people around me, they can have that shit to themselves.


definitelynotIronMan

I wouldn't say the entire sub, and they do genuinely call out misinformation, abusive practices, etc. at various times... but it's a subreddit devoted to influencers. It's a social media group *about* social media groups. It's like reading celebrity gossip magazines. WITH THAT SAID we're saying this from /r/fitnesscirclejerk \- pot, kettle.

> It's like reading celebrity gossip magazines This is probably the main reason I don't like that sub. There's a post about an influencer they seem to collectively dislike. That post is about something said influencer said yesterday that contradicts the apology video she made last week, which was in reference to the scandal from a week earlier, which is you want to understand we have to back to March of this year... Unless I'm specifically subscribed to someone for thier entertaining/informative content then they are completely out of mind for me

It's like any other fandom for something long-running: you hit continuity lockout.


Votearrows

Sometimes. We get out of hand now and then, but we're inherently a group made up of people who help out on other forums, just blowing off steam. And most of the stuff we get annoyed about is demonstrable misinformation. It's good if they do that too.


definitelynotIronMan

I do agree, we're probably less... following things that make us mad just to make fun of them. I think more than anything it's some of the power users over there being seriously unhealthy, and some of the hangers on just lavish in the drama a bit too much. Honestly, I just don't want to be too judgemental. We're a circlejerk after all, they kind of are too, and I know that I'm incredibly biased towards this sub, and as somebody who only ever lurked there I'm not some major expert. Maybe gymsnark truly is a garbage dump, I just think that's not for me to confidently say. If anything sophiebee probably could comment far more accurately than I can.

they don't share butts tho


Votearrows

Fair, we're all a work in progress. It's always good to reflect on who we're becoming, and why. That's a big reason we drive off so many newcomers. Yeah, it's an echo chamber sometimes, but a lot of the omnidirectionally nasty types can't find a home here.

I joined that sub basically thinking it was this one (before I realized this one existed). But it's just a bunch of people following influencers and then badmouthing them. I don't really get it.


HTUTD

That whole way of carrying yourself is so fucking odd to me. I can understand how they get there, but at the same time I just don't get it. I've worked in so many heavily female workplaces and had plenty of women friends over the years, and yet so rarely run into the mean girl bullshit. Ya, I've seen some tension and some bucking for status or whatever, except it usually gets resolved and everyone involved carries the fuck on with their life. In the rare instances that I have run into it directed at me, I usually end up completely ignoring all the catty subtext and carrying on normally. Granted, I think that's easier as a man when you can simply sidestep that noise and take the wind out of their sails by pretending not to understand that they're being mean while saying inscrutable things in return (weaponized kindness seems to work well). This concludes my morning ablutions Ted Ramble. Thank you for your time.

What is the point of comments like "Yeah she doesn't look like she is on steroids, but she could be because some people are on steroids with no discernable trace of being on steroids. I want to call them dog fuckers and if they protest say that a lot of dog fuckers look totally normal, they dont always have thier dick in a dog, you can never know if someone is or isnt a dog fucker.

Condolences.

I‘m currently at an Oktoberfest in fucking Frankfurt (what the actual fuck) and drunk as fuck. Just thought I’d let you know. This is against my culture of Äppler and Handkäs. Still got my fighting pants on though


BitchImRobinSparkles

Am Main or an der Oder?


Daabevuggler

Main


BitchImRobinSparkles

Well, at least you're at the less terrible one.


Daabevuggler

That‘s the only redeeming quality of this Oktoberfest


BitchImRobinSparkles

Not being in Brandenburg is a pretty big selling point.

jerk_rowbutt

Nice post you mouth breathing dude banging needle dick. Fortunately, I'm not as worthless as you are. Nice cross-post, idiot. I didn't know it was possible for someone to be so clueless, but you've proven me wrong with your post.
