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.
I was disappointed by G-Witch's ending arc, but decided that I had enjoyed the show a lot overall and wasn't sorry I watched it. That said, I'm torn on this.
On the one hand, I'm a guy and an old-guard American otaku and I like yuri. Quite a lot. And the yuri elements in G-Witch were good. Played overt for laughs, but subtle and serious in other parts, with a good vibe that lasted the entire run of the show. Few shows embrace yuri in any kind of serious way these days, and of the ones that do very, very few do it well. So I'm happy that G-Witch pulled this off.
On the other hand, the Rainbow Brigade were absolutely insufferable during the show's run. Plebbit's r/gundam had threads like "I HOPE THE ENDING IS GAY KISSING AND RAINBOW PRIDE EXPLOSIONS AND JUST OWN ALL THE HATERS AND MAKE THEM SEEEEEEEETHE!" Those people would drag down every conversation I tried to have online about the show. (I got called homophobic twice because I said I was disappointed by the lack of slow-shot, close-up mecha porn like older Gundam shows used to give us). So any change that severely pisses those people off gives me a knee-jerk "Good!" reaction.
