Macho Camp: Difference between revisions

This stereotype is somewhat more common in Japan (where it has become the default gay stereotype, as [[Dude Looks Like a Lady|fashion-conscious]] [[Bishonen|pretty boys]] are more associated with heterosexuals there) than in the US, but is still seen in Western media. Almost always [[Played for Laughs]], such characters are often introduced to be [[Comic Relief]], or [[Double Standard Rape (Male on Male)|to hit on the straight guy who can do little to stop it]].

== Literature ==

* Mua, the huge, muscular valet to the Dancers in "Cata", the [[John Ringo]] and Jody Lyn Nye story in the Shared Universe book ''Exile: Clan of the Claw''. Interesting twist in that he's a non-human version of this being a [[Cat People|feline humanoid]]. Word to the wise, do not [[Berserk Button|hurt his lover Emero]] or he will get Bronze Age on your ass.

 

* ''[[Cho Aniki]]'' is largely based on this, especially the later games. Nearly nude muscle men fly around space shooting gooey energy out of their phallic heads to do battle with other naked space monsters that are usually conglomerations of big muscular men with fairy wings or something. Please [http://www.i-mockery.com/minimocks/sexual-games/10.php see here] for a comprehensive analysis of this series. It's something that should not be missed. Really.

* [[Muscle March]].

* Konami's ''[[Violent Storm]]'' side-scrolling beat'em up has Julius, who even ATTACKS BY FLEXING. [[Catch Phrase|Beauty Is Power]] indeed.

* Silver and Gold from ''[[God Hand]]''. They look Manly Gay, they act Camp Gay. It's funny until they start beating the ''ever-loving hell'' out of you.
