Yeah, that's tough. Because physical fitness content tends to attract gay men as an audience. It's just part of the territory.
Fair - when he flips out about it, that's part of the territory too.

Also -- when you find out your favorite bodybuilder is a Republican, just accept it. That's part of the territory too. Gay men are progressive, and straight men (by all available polls) are very conservative.
 
Source? This feels like a very, very broad generalization.
It's certainly true of straight white men if you look at the crosstabs of any poll. And Nathaniel is white. It's a much more mixed story for straight non white men. Also you would have to look at where he lives/is from. Plus even if 70% of straight white men are conservative, a whole lot, that's still almost a third that are not. All of that is a lot of words to say odds are he's conservative but we don't actually know because he doesn't post political stuff. He does flip out on gay admirers more than a lot of other influencers. Getting hit on comes with the territory of using sex appeal to grow your brand. He should get over it

Has he ever flipped out over dudes thirsting for him? I don't recall seeing anything about that. Politics-wise, we can never tell by a person but if I had to make an assumption based off where he is in Orange County (if that weren't enough of a clue), then yeah, that would track.

Absolutely agree. Some folks will have a meltdown about a particular guys politics and I'm like...do you not understand the male bodybuilder is a conservative constituency? Not all of them, but 60-70 percent. Get over it and let's enjoy the aesthetics! lol
 
There is a difference between being conservative generally and flipping out on the gay men that fuel 99% of his social media engagement. Those are two different things. People are complaining about the second thing.

Yes it's happened a few times. He will show DMs of guys saying he's hot with their account name and everything and call them creepy and he has ranted in stories in the past about how he is being "sexually harressed" and he hates people asking him if he has onlyfans and things like that. Which like, every single hot guy on instagram with a big account experiences this and it's NOTHING compared to what women influencers get from straight men. I'm 100% sure that some people take it over the line but nothing specially fucked up was happening to him. He just didn't like it. Admittedly I have not seen him say anything for a few months now but I stopped watching his stories cuz it was mostly food.

Ahh, I never knew he used to do that. Yes, he mainly posts his pancakes multiple times a day now.

Right. I’m not saying they’re the same. this was a separate tangent.
