"Pretty people have it easier in life," says 15-year-old Moritz. When he posts a video of his body on social media for the first time at the age of 13, it takes a toll: Moritz is bullied at school and starts thinking he’s far too chubby.
These days, does the path to masculinity lead straight through the gym? Are boys no longer allowed to be slim or chubby?
