I really don't want to dignify my feed by linking the articles that is highlighting this outrage issue.
Heck does anyone over here really care?
So I'm getting feed about twatters upset that in Gundam: The Witch From Mercury the marriage between the two main female characters is up for interpretation. Aside from the show having Revolutionary Girl Uterna levels of implied lesbianism, it's been an okay show about revenge, corporate shadow wars turning into full scale war and of course giant robot war machines. The alphabet people are mad that the corporate/doctrine led marriage isn't directly stated, and pissed off at Bandai for catering to "bigots" for taking a abstract middle ground.
Are these people really fans of Gundam? Do they really care about the harder hitting themes of this story? Do they even care about the mechs? Or were they only distracted by the awakened hijinks between the two female characters for basically being stuck in what is the corporate levels of a shotgun wedding?
Gundam: Witch From Mercury is an okay Gundam show so far, only see the first season, but I am ready to watch the second because the build up to full on war was intense.
A bit, yes. I like Gundam in general and consider myself a fan though not obsessive, but I did not care for this latest take. Keep your slice of life, school days, demi yuri trash out of my mecha shows, please and thank you. I have written this series off as "not for me" which is fine as long as it does not become a trend like Star Wars/Dr. Who/etc.
In asked order, no, no, no, only to the point that queerness is their sole reason for being and anything that affirms queerness is good and right.
it's been said before and I'll repeat it: it's a religion. a very corporate religion at that. they have trained their acolytes to consume and buy literally anything so long as their holy prophet is cast in a positive light, that holy prophet being queerness.
Honestly, it is a brilliant strategy. Strip people down to being defined by a single trait, emphasize that trait as being wholly positive and state that anything other than complete and ecstatic affirmation for the chosen trait is extremely evil/bad/negative. Gather a group of the traited together and watch them self oppress while also trying to gain power over the non-traited.
