Do you think Bodybuilding. com is a bad place?

[Roostah]

Before you answer that I'll like to remind you of a few things:

Well let see Body Building forum was the home for Elliot Rodger. It should be noted he printed out his manifesto and posted his plans on the misc first before carrying out the shootings.

This dude (CT. Now known as balconybrah) who threw his tinder date off a balcony

This dude (Icepickbrah) who killed his boyfriend on cam then ate his skin

IsisBrah who was a member of bb. com that became an ISIS terrorist.
https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=166078461



Then we got the Norway shooter. Another member of bb. com

Then we had that whole incident where grown ass men who are built like a tank and weigh 200+ pounds clamouring and saying they would ravage Angie Varona (when she was underage).

Poll Question: Should it be shut down?

Yes

No

It can be considered as bad if it's proven that the site itself paves the way for such people. I mean, if all of them happened to be users there, does it really blame forum but not a very little part of users? I don't like bb and prefer
but I'll defend the forum in general.

You can't really blame a site for the actions of it's users I'm a member on there as well and I don't go throwing people off balcony's or eating peoples flesh. And these are what 3 incidents out of the hundreds of thousands of people who are part of the site.

[Prettygurl12]

Blaming Bodybuilder. com for its users' actions is like blaming guns for the actions they're used for. Or blaming spoons for making you fat or blaming your clothes because they don't fit anymore or blaming a teacher because the kid didn't do his homework.

[Roostah]

But the entire place basically support/perpetuate these guys believe making them confirm that their actions are justified. e. g. sloots gonna sloot, all women are sloots, race mixing is bad etc.

[coconutelixir]

Like cyber-bullying? Do you think anyone really takes them seriously?

[Roostah]

@coconutelixir Like shutting their ass down.

[Prettygurl12]

Bodybuilder. com is a forum to provide support for those looking to build muscle.

[Roostah]

There misc subsection.

[coconutelixir]

Nah, I've seen it before... a lot of dumbasses but majority harmless and sharing their love for fitness and/or themselves.

[mexborough]

brevik isn't mentally ill. evil, yes, but not mentally ill.

sorry, rodgers was a loser... he needed to accept his role/place. if people born cripples can, who don't necessarily get pussy, he could too..

bodybuilding is not any more evil than any other fitness activity. rodgers needed to toughen up and move on.

[FierceBrosnan]

BB. com's Misc is like 4chans /b/ literally pissing in an ocean of piss.

I think misc should be a little better moderated but that's about it.

[NotMyUsername15]

No, its essentially the same thing as this minus the flexing selfies.

[Prof_Don]

There are bad apples everywhere, the overall vision of the site isn't sinister at all!

[Filipe97]

It's not the forum's fault that idiots sign up. But moderators should be more alert to these things...

[Yanoa_Yanza]

No it's not a bad place, there just happened to be one weird one on there.
On GAG there are also creeps, but that doesn't make it a bad place

[Anonymous]

i go to the site sometimes for tips and stuff but a lot of the posts there are of arrogant douchebags,

[Levin]

It's pretty tame compared to Gag membership.

[CT_CD]

No. I love the misc
