Agel R Machar: Gym Boys Are Innocent; Blame the Wives and Girlfriends
A predominant political figure Agel R. Machar has stirred reactions on social media after defending so-called "gym boys" and shifting the blame to women involved in relationships with them.
In a satirical and controversial post, Machar argued that gym enthusiasts are being unfairly criticized, claiming the real issue lies with wives and girlfriends who allegedly pursue and financially support them.
"Gym boys are innocent. It's our wives and girlfriends who not only crave and pursue these bleaching gym boys but also pay them heavily for their services, using your hard earned resources. The hatred for gym boys is totally unjustified. This issue is with our sugar mammy wives and big boss girlfriends. Facts must be said ya jamana,” Agel Said on his social media.
Machar's remarks come amid ongoing online discussions surrounding a gym enthusiast who had publicly declared that "a gym boy can't apologize." Days later, videos circulated on social media appearing to show the same individual crying uncontrollably and apologizing during a live broadcast after he was allegedly assaulted by armed soldiers.
The circumstances surrounding the incident remain unclear, including what prompted the individual's initial statement and the events that led to the reported assault.
The incident has fueled widespread debate online, with many users reacting through jokes, memes, and commentary, while others have raised concerns about the reported violence and beating of unarmed civilians by unpaid soldiers who are also suffering like them.
