Ok, so I do care. But that's not what I meant by that comment. What I meant by that was that other people's opinion on this matter don't change my opinion.
To address your second line - guess we'll have to agree to disagree.
lol, this.
Exactly. People are making it sound like Phil is just insulting random fans of his without reason. Of course, I don't expect everyone on this forum to acknowledge stuff like this, since there are a bunch of closet-racists on here (not speaking of the IFBB specifically, but I've come across plenty enough in other sections to not rule out that possibility).

Count your blessings, guys. Before Phil, we had a streak of 12 consecutive Mr Olympias who didn't post on this forum AT ALL.
We're dodging more ninjitsu attacks than Flex Wheeler. We're ducking more bullets than George Farah. We're facing more death than a kid leg pressing at Branch Warren's gym.
You can't stop us. You can't hold us back.
IFBB brahs über alles.

To be fair, I assume that forums or media outlets weren't as popular, and that may not be directly related, but given their age, it may be a factor. Phil being a younger guy, having been exposed to technology earlier in his life, etc. could be a factor as well. *Edit: Also, Phil's background as an IT guy.

Yea, and now that we have all these retired bodybuilders no longer "under contract" they sure to stop by to visit their fans / customers.
I mean Jay does so from time to time, but he updates his social media for all the 1st time posters. Ronnie stopped by for a bit, when his new brand was released.
But Phil, man I hate Phil. He's just so, mean, and greedy, and he lives in Colorado - nothing good comes from Colorado.It's not about where you are today, but what you're doing right now, to build a better you for tomorrow. - Me
Judge not by the color of my reps but on the content of my posts.

When put into the context in which we're speaking of, Kai's situation, vs Phil's, would benefit from political correctness, yes.
Sexuality > "Wrong" behaviour
Political correctness is born from society's sensitivity, therefore, Kai's sexual act would be defended by arguments that support peacefulness/self-expression/judgement-free ideologies, while Phil's would be attacked by how unprofessional and hateful it came off.

They're human beings. They aren't perfect. Their going to do things that not everyone is going to like. I'm sure you(I address everyone) do and say things others wouldn't like or look down upon. You will criticize them more harshly for things you wouldn't give a damn that other people do because you see celebrity status as making them higher up. Their just human beings. Imperfect.

Of course, that's what I've said in the beginning, it's one of the highest form of subjectivity, but I disagree with the part where you said that if both roles were reversed, it would change how you perceive it.
The post above was not my own view, I was simply stating how society would perceive both situations.

If someone called Kai a N****er and Kai responded to the insult (albeit probably a different tone than Phil, most likely a 300 page short novel of inner peace and tranquility) you'd lose your mind and the vibe would be YOU TELL EM KAI!!!
If anyone but Kai had done the grapefruit thing, whether it Be Phil or any other IFBB pro or just any other professional athlete, your attitude toward the act would be far different than it is than when your favoured hero does it. I'm only stating facts here. I don't expect you or anyone else to admit to them.Spike92 is 15.
