This article investigates two ubiquitous slogans that circulate among gay social media apps: ‘No Fats, No Fems’ and ‘Masc for Masc’. In their recurrence, both offer gendered readings of corporeality and ability, which equate muscled bodies with forms of desirable masculinity. In collecting data from SCRUFF, I document how gay male social media apps generate narrow definitions of masculinity that, like the slogans, uphold physical fitness and compulsory able-bodiedness as hallmarks of gay desirability. Alongside these trends, I highlight ‘working out’ as an exceptional form of gay male labour that prioritises ability and transforms the muscled body into a commodity that is successfully advertised on these apps.

没有脂肪,没有女性,没有问题?锻炼和同性恋肌肉发达的身体

本文研究了在同性恋社交媒体应用程序中流传的两个普遍口号:“无脂肪,无女性”和“ Masc for Masc”。在它们的复发中,两者都提供了关于体型和能力的性别读数,这将肌肉发达的身体等同于所需的男性气质。在从SCRUFF收集数据时,我记录了同性恋男性社交媒体应用程序如何生成男性气概的狭窄定义,例如口号,坚持身体健康和强制性强健是同性恋理想的标志。除了这些趋势外,我还强调“锻炼”是男同性恋劳动的一种特殊形式,它优先考虑能力,并将肌肉发达的身体转变为可以在这些应用程序上成功刊登广告的商品。
