Why are bodybuilders shamed?

Seriously. Every fitness/sport activity shits on bodybuilding. Read any training program for MMA, Soccer, Swimming, basketball, whatever.

Without fail it's always:
>we lift weights for functional strength / power and injury prevention, we're not trying to be bodybuilders here

>strength is good for this sport but nothing like a bodybuilder

>doing x will get you in good shape, nothing bulky like a bodybuilder of course

nobody throws as much shade towards rugby or football players so why are athletefags always shitting on bodybuilders? If you're built like a linebacker in any of the sports mentioned, you're gonna have a bad fucking time.

Are people that insecure?

Because modern bodybuilding is a joke

The end goal of bodybuilding is aestetics and adding balanced mass to the body.
The end goal of training for sports is being able to do a specific activity better.
It is therefore important that the athlete that trains for a specific sports do not get caught up in trying to maximize his aestetics or adding unproductive mass since this would be done with the cost of lower performance in his sports. Fx if you are a 100m sprinter you could get tempted to do a lot of curls for them girls but what you need to do to win that trophy is to do some powercleans

10% of the time it is a genuine recognition of the fact that training for a sport and training for aesthetics are two very different things.

But 90% of the time it is cope.

Because strength is shameful and being bizarre is the new standard to look foward

When normies think of body building they think of 5% bodyfat mass monsters at Mr.Olympia. Normies also have a laughable understanding of how muscle gain works and think that if they attend the gym sem-regularly for a few months they'll end up looking like those mass monsters (I'm not even kidding normies are fucking retarded, see how many women actually think they'll get fuck huge from basic ass exercise).

Lots of people in other sports are either trying to reassure these idiots normies to get them to get off their fat asses and actually do something or even worse they have a normie tier understanding of how bodybuilding works.

yeah, but this is such bullshit, watch any NFL game, look how many running backs have 18" arms and shit.

You think they never touch the tricep rope, the muscle jsut magically spawns onto their body?

The desire to mate and breed is one of the most powerful human emotions, ofc youre not gonna be able to stop guys from working on their arms, period

it's seen as narcissistic. Also sour grapes, people who have great bodies must be lacking in other areas so it's not good to be a bodybuilder.
also this

Because
>bodybuilding isn't a sport, it's pagaentry
>bodybuilders look like shit, but delusionally think they look good
>spending an extra hour in the gym posing and winking at people makes you a douche, especially to people who are actually there to train

True. But they would have 19" arms if they weren't told to focus on functionality
