"Kyosui Izumi is a gay man who uses the T2 Luna Memory to transform into the Luna Dopant"

I totally just saw this at Wikipedia, using the link from above.
Now this is... rather surprising. @.@

A gay guy being the Luna dopant with long arms... Where would those limbs snake to? hmmmm..... :sly:

Okama is the term in japanese they used. It can mean gay or it can mean a feminine man.

I've heard okama is an insulting term for gay men that really should be translated as "faggot."

I guess the person who edited that wiki page was just being polite. ne?

It all depends on the tone. There are a lot of words in japanese that have multiple meanings depending on the tone. One Piece doesn't seem to use okama in a derogatory way.

My understanding is that characters like One Piece's okama tend to be considered insulting by actual Japanese gay men, because they're very stereotyped. It's not something they'll get worked about, mainly for cultural reasons.

You know with all this talk & with posts about how guys go & marry a video game girl or fight over a nintendo GF game, it makes me wonder...

Did the women buy all the metal shafts? Japanese girls are purdy
Anyways!


any new pics or info about the movie? is the Skull that Shotaro sees just a dream telling him where to find the Lost Driver?

 

[KouAidou]

Okama aren't necessarily gay. They can also be explicitly straight men who act in a flamboyant or effeminate manner.

 

[dchoc]

Well, we'll know once the movie is out...
