We’ve asked several prominent bodybuilders who have shared stories of selling old underwear, to doing muscle worshipping and even receiving offers for sex from males. Goodrum does bring into focus a growing concern in the bodybuilding industry, one that has been motivated by money for decades. That Goodrum would imply that he should not be hired or welcomed in the community because of his sexuality or what he chooses to do in his personal time is a dangerous suggestion. Commenters seemed to notice this, too, frequently pointing out in the mentions under the video that it was not really anyone’s business what Nick Trigili does in his personal time.
YouTube is no stranger to obscene and demeaning videos, though Goodrum’s is exceptional for his total lack of relevancy. “I certainly wouldn’t hire him for my company, ever.” “Generation Iron is welcome to have him,” Vince Goodrum continues.
“No person should ever do any sexual activities for money,” Vince Goodrum says. Goodrum later pivots from being obsessed with outing Nick Trigili to criticizing sex work and porn as institutions.
