Funny that our community gives 'bigorexia' a pass, even as we shout about body positivity.

I'm guilty of it too, but I don't like it.

Call it muscle dysmorphia or bigorexia, but body image issues aren’t always just about getting smaller. Experts explain why wanting to be bulkier can be a problem.

These guys seem like the biggest posers. Like the "bigorexia" version of gender dysphoria

Well aight here I am. Might have cheated for this pic by going to the gym for 30mins cause I felt well enough too. “Abs” courtesy of the flu. Never liked being small so the bigorexia is hitting hard.

it is frustrating to be like recovered (in remission?) from anorexia in this sea of gays with bigorexia and i’m just supposed to see all the things I have to talk to my therapist about in others and mind my business. i’m not judging I just want better for them.

It's just disturbing that the physique on the left is considered "dad bod" in certain communities. Tik Tok is normalizing bigorexia
A hill I will die on is that people are more attractive and look actually fit and not weirdly fucked up, dehydrated, & miserable in older films when they were allowed to be human and not horrible action figures. It’s not “dad bod” it’s “very fit human”

There is a subset of body dysmorphia sometimes called "bigorexia" where people, usually men, never feel like they're big enough. The "attracting women" part might be an ad hoc rationalization to explain away their neurosis.

"Although it can affect anyone, this lesser-known disorder commonly affects boys & young men."

"Bigorexia" pertains to #muscle size & #physical appearance (the way young men & boys view themselves)

it would exist at this horrible capitalist interesection of "dude with a car but no personality", Bigorexia/Steroid/Synthol/plastic surgery addiction, and the passive dehumanization of others the rich -already- engage in.

Hoxe cóntovos que a palabra "vigorexia" vén do inglés "bigorexia" (de "big" + "anorexia"), pero a maioría das linguas latinas decidiu escribila con v- para emparentala con "vigor".

Bigorexia?? The pernicious influence of Auguste Comte cannot be exaggerated.

Gigantism + Bigorexia

Just read an article about 'Bigorexia' and how men (especially adolescents) have body dismorphia about endlessly chasing a 'swole'/'gainz'/'perfect' physique.

At the end of this fascinating read? "Related News: Why Your 'Dad Bod' May Be Killing You."

SO WHAT THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE?!

Between that and “bigorexia,” I have no idea what’s going on anymore
You know how ppl get mad at words they don’t understand?

That’s me with this looksmaxxing and the adjacent 😭
