Why do shy loner wimps hero worship Bruce Lee?


I never understand why shy wimpy loners(who were bullied as youngsters) glorify Bruce Lee. They often worship Bruce Lee as some heroic underdog against evil.


Well here's the reality. The real Bruce Lee was the complete opposite of a heroic underdog fighting for good and justice. Bruce Lee in his youth was a street gangster. It's true! I am not kidding! He is! Research him. He was a real criminal back then. He was the type of guy back then who would brutally stab a College student to death for no reason and then mock, swear at, laugh at, and threaten his victim's grieving family in court while jokingly ask the judge if his victim's life even mattered.


In China, he lead his own street gang named Junction Street Eight Tigers and they fought against other street punks. One real testament to his criminality was when he and his gang robbed a store. One member of his gang even committed shoplifting. What's worse is that Bruce Lee was not born into an impoverished ghetto family. He's the son of rich parents so I really don't understand why he had to resort to criminality as a way to get money. Most of the time, he was the instigator of fights. He's probably some sort of serial bully.


Bruce Lee was a gangster punk in his youth. Basically, the type of guy who picks on shy cowardly loners. Really, he was worse than a school bully. He was a violent thug.


Also, Bruce Lee was popular with girls in his school when he was young. For his whole life, he was never shy, socially awkward, or a loner. He was popular in his young days. He had amazing social skills, charisma, and he was charming to many people. Again, he's basically the opposite of shy cowardly loners. He was never an underdog. He was the king of high school.


It's really sad for many Bruce Lee fans out there to hear the bitter truth.


In conclusion, Bruce Lee has more in common with the person in high school that picked on shy loner wimps rather than shy loner wimps themselves. Sorry.


They need to stop hero worshipping the guy.

It's my go-to line in awkward social situations, where I can't hear what anyone is saying. If people get the reference, great. If they don't, even better, they'll think I'm weird and leave me alone 😆

Kung Fu movies are really cool

Do I win two egg rolls and a pint of beef chow mein with spicy mustard for answering correctly?

Why would you make your first post something like this?

He’s quite a loser, best to just ignore the poor old hobo

You're setting a good example of ignoring me, you complete idiot. The last 8 notifications I've gotten here have been from you.

Not gonna comment on Lee's early/private life as there's so much crap written about the guy. But most people worship him for what he did onscreen. Do they make the mistake thinking that's exactly how he was in real life? A lot do, but then so do a ton of people about their favourite actors/singers/comedians/athletes.

reply

What is your point, exactly?

reply

Do they?

reply

Some of shy loner wimpy guys worship bullies, because they'd secretly like to be alpha bullies themselves, and will be if they ever get any power over anyone.

They invariably call themselves "nice guys".

reply

Yes, you can often spot those guys at work, often in lower management.

reply

More often in no-where management.

Why do you call yourself “doctor”? What is your degree. Yes, I really am calling you out on this. The trend of posters here putting “doctor” in their usernames is pissing me off. My guess is that none of you is a doctor of any kind.

reply

And I'm calling YOU out for calling HIM out over something so trivial!

Yes, a person who's got fifteen years of posts on the "Star Wars" and "LOTR" boards is telling you to get a life. I mean a bit of fun is a bit of fun, but attacking people for putting non-offensive words in their usernames is just silly.
