This sort of depressive slagging of positive aspects of right wing culture while talking up the left, coming from "le based right wing" accounts feels like a form of cuckoldry.
It's not constructive criticism or sincere analysis, so what's the point of degrading your own side?
If he said, "There are too many fat right wingers," he'd have a point (even if a lot of them are blue collar workers, who do physical activity, they're just otherwise unhealthy). But we know where this meme came from & that there's a lot of truth to the stereotypes behind it.
And RW gym culture and memes pushes people on the right to be BETTER about this, so dissing it seems very counterproductive.

The pairs up with a left wing behavior that is extremely prevalent and noticing should be commonplace:
"We say what we want to be true like it's a fact and act like it's fact, no matter how untrue it is."
What has happened with "incel" is this tendency ran into semantic drift because the useful idiots picked it up without knowing that the emperor is naked & everyone is just pretending his suit is beautiful.
Useful idiots in this case being midwit and sub-midwit feminists.
When you point out that "incel" Matt Walsh is married with kids, the trans trash left irony bro (who's just the physical incarnation of slave morality) will suggest his wife doesn't sleep with him anymore. The midwit feminist says incel is an attitude, not about sex.
This (the screencapped tweet) is such a dishonest framing of what happened. They weren't measuring the length of those women's swimsuits cause dudes would get boners if it was 1/4 inch short. They set a concrete, objective standard.
People push up on the standard to destroy it.
So the ladies who want to push the boundaries wear something that's just a liiiittle shorter than the standard. The people who want no standard say, "Isn't this ridiculous?" Then it gets a little shorter. A little shorter.
Deconstruction to nothing by inches. We've all seen it.
Eventually we're too a point that the original people in the picture, even most of the ladies, probably, would consider absurd. A slippery slope "fallacy."
"Of course women aren't going to walk on the beach in a micro-thong & demand men don't get aroused! That's a strawman!"
