Why would you say something so controversial yet so brave OP.

(Anonymous) 2025-01-31 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
Huh, I just thought about GW today. Weird.

Anyway, pretty much. I'm sure the characters all had their reasons, but I can't recall when those reasons were good.

Haha i agree with you OP. My one and only interaction with gundam wing was this one scene where one of the characters wanted to blow up his gundam with him inside of it for probable war angst reasons and then cried some more when he realised he couldn't do it whilst sitting in the cockpit. Lol. I think I've spent my whole life thinking gundam wing was all about sad boys crying.

Gay sad boys crying as the ladies in their lives angsted over them. (Except Dorothy, she just had a weird raging warboner for some reason.)

You had me thinking there really was a Weiss Kreuz in Space for a minute there

(Anonymous) 2025-01-31 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
Not OP but honestly, I feel like it would have ended up there if it had continued for much longer.

This absolutely could have been made by me, right down to the Weiss Kreuz shout-out at the end. High-five, OP.

Rotflmao. The only reason Gundam anything exists past the first ever series is because of the women fans of the show. They and their fandom and enthusiasm for the show kept it going.

Google gundam creator and women fan support.

The male fans came in later.

The creator of Gundam admits this in interviews. He also admits he created GW as a thank you and love letter to the women fans. It's supposed to be about emotional hot boys with a military sci-fi flavor.

...I mean even I knew at the time that it was hot boy tragedy in space what took you so long?

(Anonymous) 2025-01-31 07:00 am (UTC)(link)
When I was in the fandom, we all knew it was that, but we also thought the politics were important and made sense.

I'd probably still think that if I rewatched and liked it. Politics is so all over the place in real life that you could try and sell me anything as making sense and I'd believe you.

Great secret, op! I never watched this but back in the day saw fan arts and noticed the popularity. I don't think I will ever get into it, but I enjoyed this precise dissection. (Also lol Weiss Kreuz)

(Anonymous) 2025-01-31 07:28 am (UTC)(link)
I'm still salty that GW fandom latched onto the ships I didn't like and mostly slept on the one I did because they were clearly superior (joking, or am I?).
So that ALSO was just like Weiss Kreuz!

I just read shit tons of GW/WK crossovers

(Also I shipped a lot of Heero/Wufei and Duo/Wufei. Honestly, just give me all of the Wufei fics because boy howdy that man was the biggest repressed gay I've ever seen)
