Why do shy socially awkward wimpy loners hero worship Bruce Lee?

[Casual_Dude]

I never understand why you shy wimpy loners(who were bullied as youngsters) glorifiy Bruce Lee. You guys 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. No ****! I am not kidding! He is! Research him. He was a real criminal back then. He was the type of guy back then who will 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 he'll 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 commited 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 YOU 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 you 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 pick on you shy loner wimps rather than YOU shy loner wimps. Sorry.

So stop hero worshipping the guy.

All that is new to me. I would like to see some sources if you have any.

It's true. Research it. Bruce Lee was a gang member in his youth. They often had fights with other criminal gangs.

It just proves that the guy is human after all. He isn't a perfect god.

Telling me to research this is like trying to fish with a hook and no bait.
1. I'm not into Bruce Lee like that. He's not an hero or a person I look up to and that's by personal choice because of any dislike of Bruce Lee.

2. Overall this isn't important to me. I've literally spent more effort discussing sugar.

3. Overall, when you make claims like you have, it's good to provide some sources.

Not sure why you seem to think that many people hero worship Bruce. The reality is that most people don't. You probably feel this way because you hang around a lot of people who like bruce.

I Agree with you. You found something.

 

[JowGaWolf]

By the way. I'm not trying to be mean. I just think you are getting a bigger dose of Bruce Lee fans than what most of us are exposed to. If you take JKD then that's going to come with the territory.

Robert Whittaker would be a better option. Bullied as a kid now UFC top performer and all round nice guy.

 

[Holmejr]

Wow, I don’t know of anybody personally that does that. I took JKD in the 80’s under DI, and there wasn’t much worship even at the Kali Academy. I would imagine whimpy loners are more likely to troll.

As far as being in trouble in ones youth or breaking free of a destructive cycle, you should listen to Pastor Raul Ries personal testimony. I believe he’s a high level martial artist as well. I think you would truly benefit from his life story.

If you aren't interested in Bruce Lee then why did you even respond to my post?

That's literally just your opinion. You can't read my mind like some psychic.

What do you mean? I find your claim to be unrealistic and foreign. They were clearly the ones who were bullied. They also have low self-esteem and low toughness which is why they have no pride or guts to bully others. It takes a lot of ego and guts to look down and harass others. They were the bullied. That's why they love to hero worship street punks like Bruce Lee despite having no complete information about who he really was. I don't want to insult shy wimpy loners but what I am saying is true.

So stop hero worshipping the guy.

So stop destroying dead people's reputation.

You start the same thread in another MA forum. You also got warning to "watch the language ... mass personal attack". Hope it won't happen to you here.

Is he a street punk or a school bully? It doesn't matter. My point is that shy wimpy loners shouldn't see people like Bruce Lee and Pastor Raul Ries as perfect gods because these famous martial artists do not resonate with shy wimpy loners.

 

[Casual_Dude]

You start the same thread in another MA forum. I don't know your purpose behind this.

I am not destroying the dead person's reputation. I am just saying the truth. Bruce was indeed a great martial arts ACTOR and I know that.

The fact is that he was indeed a street punk in his youth. I wasn't saying that he was trash. I am just saying that shy wimpy loners shouldn't hero worship a guy who is the exact opposite of them. Don't put words in my mouth.

I am clearly not insulting people.

Not always. There are people called narcissists or victim bullies.

Because I feel a derail coming along soon. I'll give it 7 more posts and this thread will be about something totally different than what you thought it would be.

 

[JowGaWolf]

That's literally just your opinion. You can't read my mind like some psychic.

Yep that's my opinion.

 

[drop bear]

But on that subject this power dynamic or self confidence issue it is probably why people are drawn to torture porn styles. Where we create a monster and proceed to destroy the guy.

The re stomp the groin crowd.
