There are a number of subcultures within gay male culture, such as bears and chubbies. There are also subcultures with an historically large gay-male population, such as leather and SM. Gay critic Michael Musto opined, "I am a harsh critic of the gay community because I feel that when I first came out I thought I would be entering a world of nonconformity and individuality and, "au contraire", it turned out to be a world of clones in a certain way. I also hated the whole body fascism thing that took over the gays for a long time."
