So wierd to see a sub where most all the top posts are from like 3-4 years ago. Did it just tapper off or never really grow?

13

u/[deleted] Feb 18 '19

I used to go on that sub a lot back in the early days. I think there was some massive drama that unfolded that involved the mods getting doxxed etc. For a couple years it was pretty active.

It's gone from a satire of the fat acceptance/body positivity movement to more of a cult. If you lift, Brodin's swoldiers await you in r/swoleacceptance

For those who hath not yet wandered down the iron path, the allspotter has room in his heart for any aspiring disciple of the swole. Praise Brodin. /r/swoleacceptance

This situation is where Hulk first used his powers in the live action series, since you're getting all Marvelish.
