Liver King is a youtuber who promoted a diet of eating only raw meat and then his popularity fell off when it was leaked that he did steroids.

Eating too much liver can cause vitamin A toxicity

Symptoms of vitamin A toxicity include nausea and vomiting, headache, irritability, and sleepiness.

Keep on livering mah dude chefs-kiss

Was he just trying to start goofy internet beef and Joe took him at face value and had him arrested? What kind of beef could he have with Joe Rogan?

[–] BoxedFenders@hexbear.net 22 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He refused to host Liver King on his show because he lies about his natty status (claims he doesn't use steroids). Apparently this is the one moral line Rogan will not cross.

[–] CTHlurker@hexbear.net 2 points 7 hours ago

Joe Rogan is weirdly fascinated by the natural / stereoid debate among various fitness influencers. It's fucking odd, because Joe Rogan is one of the most credulous people in the world and somehow he takes an incredibly critical stance towards that one specific issue. Meanwhile he has hosted Jordan Peterson several times and just let him talk about chaos dragons and other bullshit for several hours with no real pushback.

This dude is a tool, but pinning hormones to get the body you want is cool, actually.

[–] dead@hexbear.net 29 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think doing steroids if fine if you are honest about it. He was telling people that he got his physique from eating raw meat, which is dishonest.

[–] shallot@hexbear.net 16 points 1 day ago

Yeah that’s fair, I agree. But also, since it’s illegal, I think that not being open about it is okay too as long as you aren’t selling something because of it. And I probably didn’t need to say anything, but I wanted to because I feel like people tend to villainize exogenous hormones unfairly because of baseball or whatever, and I don’t think we should do that here. Which is not to imply that that’s what you were doing, I just thought it was worth mentioning is all.

Gender affirming care for cis het men. He’s interesting to me because he’s taking PEDs not to hit more home runs or recover faster after MMA injuries, but just to create masculine content.

[–] CommunistCuddlefish@hexbear.net 3 points 16 hours ago

Sorry, but he's taking PEDs in order to sell his supplements of purified bull's testicles and shit. Craft an influencer personality, convince weird guys that they can get as masculine as him by eating raw organ meat, actually does a ton of PEDs to get that physique instead. It's not like he's engaging in a harmless hobby, he's grifting.

But damn, that is a hell of a thing to do to one's body just to grift

[–] shallot@hexbear.net 15 points 1 day ago

Maybe a hot take but I don’t think it matters whether you’re cis. If you want to take hormones I think that’s okay.

[–] Alisu@hexbear.net 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Sexual hormones classify as steroids, right? Technically

[–] shallot@hexbear.net 7 points 1 day ago

That sounds right to me, but I’m not a biologist, so someone else might have a better answer.
