Seeing as I sculpt professionaly I'd say I do.
I think my point has not come across well, let me rephrase it.
If someone is dedicated enough with their training then they make the necessary changes, both in terms of the styles of training and their diet, the body then follows, you just need to adapt your training based on what you're striving for and if you've reached that point then well done, you've achieved what you set out to do, if not, then something needs to change.
The thing is it's obvious who is there to make those changes or maintain them, compared with who is there to pull or get attention (and yes, this happens with both genders).
As for your second point about sports fans, well that's not really something I'd know anything about, I'll support my country during things like rugby (football and cricket and especially tennis does not interest me) but I'm not mad about it I've always preferred playing sports rather than watching them.
Love each other? What sorcery is this????
You make a solid point there, but I think part of the problem might well have been my choice of gym metaphor, because it's one of those things where there are not fifty shades of grey (I cannot believe I said that...).
It all comes down to one thing:
Are you there to improve or try to improve yourself (be it size, strength or shape) in theory everyone is, which you would think is why they joined, but it then progresses, some people are content to come in day after day, doing the same routine over and over again, there's no change, no variation and there in lies the problem.
Have you achieved what you wanted to?
A: yes - then well done, have a cookie and kudos on losing x number of pounds you wanted to shift or hitting a certain lifting weight, body fat % etc
A: no - then what are you going to do about it? - keep working at it.
Use a gym, see what it's like, it's very obvious who is there trying to work hard (regardless of what they are wearing, lifting, or listening to) and who is there to try and pull/show off/perv.
I may well have missed that point in the initial post, I saw the photo and the angry old man inside me (Bernard) woke up. But I don't think there's any kind of discrimination in gyms (the discrimination of "that person does not look good, or doesn't lift X amount of kg on clean and presses), certainly not with the larger guys (like deadlift) as I said, it's easy to see who is trying and who is not, regardless of what their training is like and that is where my initial rant came from (thinking of a very specific girl who pandas to the bicep boys and sadly is guilty of eyeing up the larger members).
It's a shame, Aus used to have an awesome gym scene.
As for cosplay events, people do what they want, if it makes them happy then why should they be censored.
