I was getting my daily dose of autism on Reddit when I came across this:
When I first came across this I thought it would be a great opportunity to write about the limits of free expression on social media. But I never write non-shitpost posts without doing any due diligence, so the least I could do was plug his name and his gym's Instagram account into Google, an act that takes literally all of 10 seconds. Two things came up.
First, I saw his face. Looks like an average white guy. So right off the bat, there was something fishy about this Redditor's determination that he was, you know, a low SMV incel.
Second, I stumbled onto this CBC news story:

I don't know his full life story, but what I do know is that it took me just another 5 minutes to plug his name into Manitoba province's court registry system and find two family court cases involving Bodnarchuk, one concerning a divorce, the other concerning a protective order filed by his ex-girlfriend.
An examination of the Kokocinski docket quickly reveals that Bodnarchuk is a father and that his ex-wife was granted custody and a protective order.
At this point, thanks to Google, I stumbled on this document showing a list of all Lakehead University (of Thunder Bay, Ontario) graduates in 2010, and Bodnarchuk was on said list, with a degree in kinesiology (on page 40). So the natural thing to do was to go look at court records in Ontario and I got a hit in the criminal division.

Conclusion
With just barely 20 minutes of research you can conclude that Bodnarchuk is an average or above-average white man who

Court records show Bodnarchuk was ordered to stay away from a former domestic partner in August 2019 after she told court officials he had been physically violent toward her on multiple occasions,

- had multiple partners
- was previously married
- treated his partners violently
- fathered at least one child
- was a defendant in a criminal case that warranted a publication ban
