I'm personally annoyed that fandom decided himbos need to be buff. I was around for some of its use in fandom before that became a rule, and it was more fun then... because I like the hot dumb guy trope but I'm not into buff guys. There's this weird subgroup of people in fandom (mostly I think, masc4masc gay men and NLOG women) who think liking thin guys is for sheeple and liking buffness is brave and counterculture. They are definitely partly responsible for the himbo = buff thing.

It's absurd, as if buff guy with zero body fat is somehow an unusual subversive thing to be into?? If you look around, a lot of body shaming gets aimed at smaller guys. I'm definitely not saying fat phobia isn't a thing or that skinny guys aren't privileged in other ways, this is way more nuanced than I can get into in one comment, but I've seen some truly confused discourse on this subject, where the whole point was... being into buff guys who aren't fat is somehow anti-fatphobic and anti-conventional body standards, which is just not true at all. I think some of it is also coming from people who are very insecure about the female beauty standards they are pressured by and project it onto fictional male faves.
