also just clarifying that i am a weirdo who has 100% enjoyed certain kinds of fanservice before and do not object to sexy women being in my media (rather the opposite), this is just specifically about a perspective that views absolute objectification and hypersexualisation as an obligation

fanservice is a method of establishing ownership as much as it is about raw sex appeal. it doesn't have to be "hot" in the conventional sense, it just has to make women who might interact with it uncomfortable. imo thats why chuds treat less sexualised women in media as a matter of life and death

which is why chuds react so badly to "woke" character designs. it's not that their only thought was gooning to tracer's ass or whatever, it's that the media is not setting out a stall that says "we hate and objectify women as much as you do, and will make women uncomfortable to keep them out"

to pick an example sumeragi constantly having her tits out in gundam 00 is not particularly alluring or attractive, but it sure made me feel kind of uncomfortable and like the show wasn't really made for me. it feels like a token concession to the male audience who don't wanna get cooties from girls

this is solid, may steal this from u >:)

I COMPLETELY MISSED THIS SCENE WHEN I WATCHED SEED AAAAAA

i was wondering where the hell this plot point came from when i watched Freedom lmao

its not good

ITS SO BORIIIIIING NOTHING HAPPENS EVER

yeah as soon as you brought this up i immediately thought of Mama. Re;Rise should have had a scene where Hiroto and May are chilling in the bar and Hiroto asks her opinion on LGBT people honestly

goddamnit do i have to watch more wing......

i had not considered the okama stereotype angle before, i just read magee as like an exceptionally cunty gay dude. im gonna have to go back into my LGTV meditation chamber and rewatch re;rise

the gay read of f91 i credit mostly to this very compelling essay about transfem seabook. as for Wing, i did think as soon as i posted the list is should at least go in the fujobait tier but the bait ships are so lacking in juice compared to OG SEED it didn't occur to me
