The project is grounded through one driving question: How do online fitness communities transform biological frameworks related to testosterone, masculinity, and discipline into moral and political frameworks that influence young men’s right-wing identity formation? To investigate this nuanced question, we took on the challenge of examining the evolution of the online fitness community through different angles, using our assigned analytical objects, such as masculinity, testosterone, and identity politics. These objects will not only aid in understanding the biological claims circulating in these communities, but also in how these claims are socially reconstructed to serve and support different cultural and political ideologies. Project by Azaan Bilal, Rahi Patel and Joshua Thomas.
