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.
Gundam has become too popular. It WILL turn to shit.
Look at the Gundam reddit: half of it is leftists whining about not having their gender extremism acknowledged.
Better be prepared to move on. It's only a matter of time until these locusts destroy the franchise.
The franchise will probably hit it's closure for me when the last Hathaway Flash movie comes out.
However if Sunrise dares to make a Gundam Gaia Gear animation, I'll loose my mind and get excited. I don't know too much of the story but it sounds like a baseline Gundam story, fine by me.
Y'all should at least see the artwork for it though, it's fantastic. Sample below
