so a couple months back i made a video talking about anti-sjws and gamers views on women body types in video games because of course last year there is a massive controversy about abby from the last of us a fairly normal looking woman who has visibly big muscles but nothing that you haven't seen you know in real life and then of course there was massive outrage about tifa's redesign and final fantasy vii remake there is even some outrage about the new lara croft going back to NUMBER_TOKEN. all of this ridiculous but i kind of want to flip this today and talk about male body standards now you guys probably have seen the new god of war reveal and the studio behind it santa monica they released little i guess artist drawings of the main cast and included was for and didn't look like chris hemsworth wasn't you know very chiseled and thin had a bit of a belly looked very menacing and very intimidating he was very large and of course it's not conventional for i guess the internet's view of this stuff caused a bit of a stir and the people who are mainly mad about this of course just with the depiction of women in video games it was actually men men were the ones who were most outraged about this depiction probably surprising nobody so in this video i want to talk about that i also want to talk about just unrealistic standards for men in terms of like our own standards i'm not talking about like with women how often their standards are put upon them by the male gays and how men want them to look but i'm talking about how us as men put these ridiculous standards on ourselves and it actually has affected me personally so i will end this video by talking about my own relationship with um you know fitness and everything like that because although i've always been a fit person and surprising some of you have actually always been a skinny person a lot of people say they think i'm a lot larger i have had a lot of troubles with my own image of myself not like body dysmorphia but i think it's because of the unrealistic standards i just see all around me and us as men put on ourselves i'm gonna plug my social media and patreon for about a minute so skip that if you're not interested before we get any further a lot of my work on this channel is demonetized because when you're covering more serious sometimes edgier topics youtube doesn't like this so if you've ever enjoyed my work please consider becoming a patron and you don't have to pledge a crazy amount i want to build up my patreon based on as many people as possible pledging little amounts like a dollar or two so if you know you feel like i have ever brought anything that's worthwhile into your life my content please really consider becoming a patron to help me continue to do this regardless of if youtube monetize or not most of my videos in a given month also if you want to join our communities come check out our discord and my subreddit those links in the description and if you want to follow me personally please check out the kavernackle at twitter at instagram and also my personal reddit where you can keep up to date with all my content and what i'm
