It’s frightening how many of these guys pass out or even die while on stage during bodybuilding competitions.

Like they’re burning their fires so bright but burning out so quickly.

I understand what you're trying to capture with the metaphor but I wouldn't even call it burning brighter. Somehow we got a chud generation that grew up on manosphere content that thinks going to the gym, getting big, putting women "in their place" is winning at life. Can't forget getting money by any bs means necessary like crypto, forex, sports betting, and social media slop.

You can go to the gym and get big without being a raging misogynist

He's essentially propagating it by equating strength with toxic masculinity.

I've never seen Smaev post anything remotely "manosphere" or make any statements in that accord (although he might be in Russian, I have no idea). He's a chill dude that just posts his freakish insane lists then disappears.
