"This Is the Ideal Male Body"
About
"This is the ideal male body," also known as “This is the ideal 'make' body,” refers to a series of jokes parodying a tweet posted by Canadian-American conservative media personality Steven Crowder that highlighted a picture of Russian heavyweight MMA fighter Fedor Vladimirovich Emelianenko as an example of the ideal male physique.
Origin
On January 13th, 2016,[1] Crowder tweeted the picture of Emelianenko along with a short caption describing it as "the ideal make [sic] body." (shown below).
However, Crowder's tweet didn't draw any major attention until August 16th, 2016, when popular video-editing comedian Vic Berger IV mocked a tweet by Crowder that said "There is an epidemic of young, very portly girls dressing quite whorish. Unsettling." Twitter user @playazball[2] replied to Vic Berger IV's tweet with screenshot of Crowder's "ideal male body" tweet captioned "and for you men, take note of what Steven feels is the ideal body," inspiring the spread of the joke (shown below).
Spread
Joke variations where Crowder's original text is applied to different images began spreading rapidly through Weird Twitter, to the point where "The Ideal Male Body" was a Twitter moment[3] by the end of the day. Popular variations included Graham, [4] Toad crossed with Bayonetta, [5] Homer Simpson,[6]Shrek, [7] Frasier,[8] and many more. The meme was covered by The Daily Dot,[9] New York Magazine,[10]College Humor,[11] and The Verge.[12]

Crowder is kinda right. Bearmode is the ideal physique for men who wish to be strong. Fast, on the other hand, requires thin lanky limbs.
Personally, I like bearmode the best.

It needs more muscles.
And less brain.
And less humanity.
…wait, that doesn't sound right…

Okay… I don't get it.
What about Crowder's tweet made it worthy of parodying?
This all seems like a forced game of "let's laugh at conservatives!"

It's likely that some of these were made by his fans (as a form of good natured ribbing) and not just his critics.

I think it's because he mocked fat girls for dressing scantily while proposing that a beefy guy is the ideal male, like he has different standards for ideal male vs female. Thats what I think anyway.

There are different standards for ideal male vs. female. Just like you wouldn't expect large mammaries on men, you wouldn't expect a max-length 6" clit on women.
