Literally all of society assumes gym bros are toxic, it's basically a meme at this point.

There is a difference between going to the gym and being a "gym bro." Again, so long as the person isn't actually displaying toxic masculinity by other behaviors, then no one gives a f*** if they frequent the gym.

Yeah no one ever stereotypes they always wait to consider the totality of a persons behavior how silly of me.

There are stereotypes about literally every group of people. Are you seriously making the argument that anyone truly thinks that just going to the gym makes anyone a sexist a-hole? C'mon now.
