Slight :biotruths: aside, in the G Gundam example I feel like it's a lot better handled. Being in the Devil Gundam was shown earlier to totally Suck rear end, and the person in question is p much forced in at gunpoint and turned into a statue for it.

Oh generally, how do the other Gundams handle women btw?

oh, didn't really see them mentioned but out of curiosity, where do victory and zeta fall on that scale? i've heard there's a lot of oddness regarding female characters in those two, but i've only seen bits of zeta and none of victory. personally, i like G a Lot so i'm probably biased, but yeah it falls short wrt female characters (like most gundams, afaik). :v:

also robots with open mouths are p messed up :colbert:

G Gundam's stuff falls into that category where if someone says it is so stupid it rolls back to cool that is perfectly reasonable and if someone says it feels kinda racist in a bad way that is also perfectly reasonable. (Obviously some mecha more than others.)

:yeah: basically this, imo g kinda falls under the punch out umbrella but its a lil iffier with some of the side gundams

fridging was first coined in the 70s about comic books and it was about a lady who gets murked to make a dude hero smad right? i mean, i feel like comic books have their own Issues regarding women tho idk how universally applicable the term is to gundam

The phrase was coined in 1999 and refers to a Green Lantern comic from 94 wherein a woman's dead body was stuffed into an actual fridge.

oh dang it was 99?? i vaguely knew the original comic that kicked it off (rip gls gf), but that was a lot later than i thought :eyepop:

Endorph posted:

its try yes. i can handle build fighters treating most of the female cast like they're experiencing sentient thought for the first time or talking a lot about how girls could NEVER like gundam, even if its a bit annoying, but try basically taunts you with the possibility that it might be more normal about girls before turning fumina into a backpack

that sucks. 😔
and yea the female chars of og fighters are a bit weak iirc, tho i can't tell what tier they're in on that chart

kamille does self describe himself as autistic during that one scene (and gets slapped for it) and iirc amuro gets into the Zone like a ADHD hyperfocus p often?

Look, guys. I don’t think any of these characters were intended to have autism. But they have traits that I, a person with autism, resonate with. You don’t need for it to be explicitly canon to interpret a character that way. And autism isn’t something you can really get “better from” either.

yea i get that 👍

i got some brain stuff myself (not sure if its autism or adhd or some combo mix of that + other stuff like a combiner super robot), so its always cool to see a char and get like, Vibes off of them for something

overall i Really liked WfM but to me the funny part was the vibes of the other bad parental figures kinda getting downplayed after guels dad got owned and it shifted gears to being all about prospera

maybe it was just my early read of the show seeming like it was leaning into more bad previous generations before shifting over to just prospera and her being stuck in the past/making a ghost zone or smth, idk if im describing this well because it still kinda does that but i guess the focus gets narrowed or w/e
