Unsophisticated non-masculinity in Malaysian gays

I am convinced that why Malaysia has a disproportionate number of twinkish gay boys (men would be giving them too much credit) and horribly tacky looking twinkish gay boys at that, is due to the fact that a lot of the gays in Malaysia are poor and have an inadequate background to prepare them for the hawards of a gay life, and thrust into it at a young age, they tend to have a misguided sense of what is fashionable, which is unfortunately, pieces of trashy rags and inappropriately obscene, not even sexy, just plain obscene outfits being worn (usually proudly) by the said twinks. It is bad enough they are anorexic looking, coupled with a trashy fashion sense, usually accentuated by dyed brown/blonde spiky hair and tacky bling and accesories, they are the epitome of gays-gone-wrong! Wherefore art thou the fab five from Queer Eye when you need them, I think their Malaysian brethren need them much more than the straight guys in America! This phenomenon (which many of us in Malaysia call, the shampoo boys) seems to be endemic in Malaysia and much less so in the neighbouring countries of Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore and all the other countries in Southeast Asia and probably even the world. It is my opinion that Malaysia has the LEAST masculine gay population anywhere and it is just simply sad that the gays here are simply quite ugly overall compared to the ones in other countries.
