The audience ranking is super stereotypical, lol

@mac9733 Well...yes. I thought maybe societal standards on body types would've changed somewhat. But I guess not.

@justindaniels411 It's definitely "stereotypical", I'd say. Objective reality isn't based on social media.

@irrelevance3859 Shredded body with abs is not? Pretty sure it’s always been “a thing”, according to media in general. You have to understand that social media, specifically TikTok and Instagram, show “fit” bodies that aren’t the most realistic (let’s not forget photoshop and filters), but are the most “popularized” according to the mainstream. The younger generations are naturally attracted to unrealistic beauty standards…always have been. Someone mentioned “objective reality”, which means that there’s a large separate majority (obviously older adults) who don’t look for these specific tropes of what the media showcases to brainwash individuals into getting more self-conscious and depressed about their appearance. But yea, most people are not obsessed or attracted to these unreasonable body standards. It’s actually more in the middle :)

@irrelevance3859 It’s a fact that a “six pack” is considered a stereotype of “hotness” (according to mainstream media). Also, if we’re getting in details, weightlifting and bodybuilding has been consistent throughout ancient history, with ancient Greece being one of the pioneers. Detail in muscles is emphasized in art history as well. As I said, the “audience” is definitely not the most realistic, keeping in mind the demographic and ratio to males/females to this specific content. Most of the people who watch this content is vastly different than those who watch the debating videos. Who said there’s nothing “unrealistic” about his body? You don’t know his personal routine and regimen, lol. But I get what you mean.

@brec7967 That doesn't make sense. So, You're saying it's the default based on the individual to only pick the body that literally everyone else choose? That's how stereotypes are created in the first place. It really depends on your opinion of attractiveness. I genuinely didn't think any of these guys bodies were attractive to me...so I didn't really have an opinion on what truly attracted me. I mean, you have a dude who could use muscle enhancements to sculpt his body, or the dude with tattoos. They both modified their bodies to a certain extent.

@cookiecookielookies Thank you, you having a rational, realistic opinion. For instance, the goddess Venus in some interpretations was on the "bigger end". But that was my main point, so I appreciate at least one person understanding.

@peytonwalcott6755 It's stereotypical in the way It's been constantly overused and advertised in social media. 2 examples: Dating apps have tons of men who display their abs. That's a stereotype for men because it's obviously for the eyes of women to attract them based on just their bodies. There's women on Twitch who display their cleavage to get views. You get it now? Emphasizing your body while it being forced makes it an easy stereotype. I don't get why this is so hard to understand, lol.

@peytonwalcott6755 I'd like to disagree and say it is, because it's easy to distinguish, and what their intentions are. But that's the connotation about men who intentionally show off their abs, that they're very egotistical, which as you said is a stereotype (going based off my dating app example). So, if you're more "fit", I can see how that confidence would be an indignation of a stereotype, since it would definitely show based off their personality. But I'm glad you pointed out the keyword, "generally", which is leaning towards more reality.

@peytonwalcott6755 Yea, being arrogant about your "fit" body does make the most sense, even though there's other societal factors that could be said about sex that could easily be portrayed as a "stereotype". But that obviously gets more complex. Yea, sure, but then again I did give an example about the demographic of who voted on these body types. It really all depends, as I think maybe critical thinking wasn't really involved, because most of these videos are already artificial and superficial, so it's not like I take the voting system seriously, Iol.

@deanvikram I said no such thing, lol.

@deanvikram It doesn't have to, some stereotypes are true, or are close to representing reality. I already mentioned how this demographic/ratio of votes could reflect more females and a gen Z opinion. I never said anything was "wrong" with it. I also gave examples of gen Y (millennials) who were trending for liking certain types of bodies that are simple, such as chubby or even bigger body types. "Body positivity" was also another trend that I appreciated in some ways, where the body type wasn't "slim" or "fit", just not the "stereotypical" image of an athletic body type. I never said "being in shape" was bad, but for example, I'm more attracted to "thick" and "curvy" females, who could be "bigger" in their body weight, and I'm sure the same applies to men who don't exactly work out daily. No need for the passive-aggressiveness. This is just my opinion, lol, and I am also getting my facts from reality, from things that were actually trending.

@umbracastaway3379 I said what I said. No point in using your passive-aggressive gesture at the end there, it doesn't do anything for me.

@umbracastaway3379 Again, useless comment, lol

@vedicboul Read my comments. The "audience" ranked them based on this specific category of content; which means there's obviously different demographics of people who watch this genre of content. And that means the standards of opinions change towards the video. An example would be any of the middle ground and debating videos, where the majority of those viewers aren't tuning into these "judging" or "dating" videos. So, I believe that the majority of voters are moslty teens and young adult females who picked their "favorite" body types. However, if the other demographics voted, who are more diverse, and possibly older, there would've been an opposite outcome. Also, there's no need to "attack me" by assuming what I meant, when I can see that you didn't read everything I said, because I did back up my "theory" by many examples. But then again, most people don't read and don't use their critical thinking skills, lol.
