How many seconds after I posted this on the board would it take before I got pilloried?

Isn't He Lovely: Fear and Loathing of Asian American Male Sexuality

I actually find the article a bit shallow and perhaps slightly patronizing, beeteedubs, but overall of readable quality.

Agreed. I think it was a bit superficial, in that it grazed over the issues without really examining them. But still interesting. As for the first question, I'd say it'd be within the first 2 responses.

First, this seems like a very loose introductory piece. A prelude, if you will, since it drew a lot from sources and presented very little of what the author's own critical ideas are. Unless, of course, her critical thought is that she agrees with all of that. I wonder what she'll say in the follow-up?

Second, most of this is fairly pedestrian to those who have paid attention to the phenomenon. I'm not seeing much of any new insight.

Third, with regards to the board, I think it's just a case of brand-association. I mean, you do troll, so people are justifiably wary of what you post. :p
