This book is very much a centrist book. If the oppressed fight back in any way they are just as bad as the oppressors. The people that deal out justice here are all men and the women more or less do nothing. I'm wondering how fast we are going to kill a woman off for man pain as that usually happens in a Gundam.

The author cares more about the weapon stats than any kind of characterization going on.

As you know being a third part between the oppressor and the oppressed, when the oppressed have to defend themselves, they deserve to die too! And them Lockon is wondering why the solar array is all broken. BECAUSE YOU SHOT THE GOOD GUYS!!!

I really hate this idea that "All fighting is bad mmkay" as the Gundams can rebalance the power and prevent the very war they want to stop from breaking out.

Then again Gundam has always had this centrist view on things, and Tomino is a horrible misogynist so there's that going on still too. (The women basically do nothing.)

I don't get the appeal of this boring crap. It's men fighting each other and aiming guns at each other while the women clutch their hands at their breast and go "on no, so many people will die." All Gundams are like this. It wants to preach and end to war, but the reason people like it is the fighting.

Ah the typical ecchi anime "woman shoves boobs against male" and acts brainless. Where as Saji of course is ONLY thinking about his future, his girlfriend only wants to "play around" and not be serious. Oh silly women, so crazy. Also yes it doesn't say he's her boyfriend in the character descriptions, however it of course is mentioned in hers. Because it only matters how a woman relates to a man.

Also of course is the long sermon about how violence breeds violence and oppressed people should fight back because it will only lead to more hate. *yawn* Fuck off with that bullshit.

Gotta have a whole two pages about how this unnamed waiter finds this woman fuckable and at what quotient. Men are never described as thus.
