“…now I break you, like I break your friend.”

Long: It’s a trite point to make, but when people think of Asian men, masculinity isn’t something that comes to mind. Guys of other ethnicities don’t fear Asian guys (except if you look like Bolo Yeung) . Face it, we’re just not symbols of intimidation.  No Chuck Norris, no Marlboro Man, no Charles Bronson, or Clint Eastwood. We don’t have guys on the side of Abercrombie and Fitch bags, much less folding jeans in the backroom. The high point was Bruce Lee in the 70s and 80s (he even married a white woman in 1964, unheard of), but it’s been a steep drop-off after him. With 2010 looming, are things any different than what they use to be?

If you like girls, you’re…gay?

In late September, a Chinese MMO company started banning accounts of Male players that play female characters ingame. The reason for the bans is that they firmly believe that you are a homosexual if you do, or that you like to watch your female avatar from behind… And apparently they feel that it shouldn’t be allowed to play a character of the opposite gender of your own.

Alvin: So first and foremost, do you dispute the charge that you’re homosexual?

Al: I’m not homosexual. My girlfriend will corroborate this claim, but don’t ask her.

Pour a 40 Out for Geocities

Alvin: So Geocities is going to to be closed today. I can be strangely nostalgic when it comes to relics of the internet like Asian Avenue or DeadAIM, but Geocities gets no such empathy from me. Farewell repository of flaming skull gifs and obnoxious backgrounds.
