Long awaited sequel to the original.
Love it, but I’m not sure that T-Nation will get both references.
For those that don’t know, the audio comes from the vocalizations of the Scout, Heavy, and Medic from Team Fortress 2, a Valve multiplayer FPS. The movie is some… thing probably created by the Japanese.
wow…I have no idea what that was but I laughed when they turned into a segway…
My mind is blown for the night. Thanks guys.
There’s a LOT of references in that video, I’ll list them all later. The two gay dudes are a looseish reference to characters like this:
Japanese nerd culture attaches effeminate characteristics to muscular western-looking men (hairless, high voice, loincloths) so as to make them appear gay and unattractive to women as possible. Its a reflection of japanese male nerd insecurity more than anything else.
Simply speaking, if you look like Frank zane and hit a staggered victory pose like the guy (androgynous, poses exuding grace and flexibility but no strength and power), japanese culture will assume you’re gay. Contrast Zane’s posing with that of Dorian for example. For example, there’s nothing effeminate about Dorian’s overall look; or a most muscular or oliva’s victory pose.
OT, western culture attaches a gay connotation to stocky hairy men with gruff voices (bears) as well as skinny lean hairless men with high voices (twinks) but avoids the middle ground of a relatively UNhairy muscular AND lean man, since thats open to interpretation (deep voice = straight, high voice = gay).
OT2, are you gay/bisexual?
