Most people who lift weights, even people who get strong to their natural limits, are going to look pretty normal or normal-ish, fat maybe, but that's about the extent of it. Thinner people might be "ripped" but not abnormally so. Genetics ensure we look relatively similar

It's the addition of exogenous elements, "super"-natural supplementation, that can cause massive distinctions in appearance. and while that's totally cool, without people saying WHEN they're doing this, many folks just look at the bodies and feel hopeless

Oh yeah, exactly...it is but a small step from there into full-on discourses about plantations and eugenics, thence to getting redpilled and joining the alt-right
