Adrian Bott added,
There are a lot of people calling for 'more bullying' in response to this, or opining that the guy clearly wasn't bullied enough, and while these suggestions may not be serious they do (IMO) say something about why people are compelled to come up with narratives like the strip's
I have a theory that some forms of bullying are supposed to be about tribemind quality control: 'if this pasty skinny dude remains pasty and skinny he will be unable to pick up a sword and defend our tribal way of life! let us shame him into changing his ways!'
Which may have worked back in the day, when tribal excoriation may have meant you couldn't eat, but nowadays people on the receiving end of such treatment may simply say 'well sod you and sod the tribal way of life' and fair play to them for doing so
honestly I think rejecting the ideas that exercise is to be valourised over other hobbies is fine: but this pivot that a lot of these guys take where they feel the need to be the bullies themselves...guys with this attitude are invariably also misogynistic.
and whether or not someone exercises or wants to is their business of course, but then making it out to be an intellectual vs. meathead thing as if people who don't work out can't also enjoy books etc. is really annoying.
