Those robots tend to be directed at the massacre of civilians, so...

I saw your first topic of this.

Anyway, yeah it's true that Gundam has cool robots and the original series's message was war is bad.

I think that image is more about the fans that completely ignore that message and just glorify cool robots fighting each other, though.

Or the people who complain about everything being "political" while ignoring the overt political messaging in the things they enjoy

Both is true. Yet many people only see one.

Just to be clear, I'm not being entirely serious with the title. Just watching some Gundam and it made me think of the meme. Mobile suits are still awesome to me because they're fictional. If they were real they wouldn't be. I think it's possible to think the machines themselves are cool while acknowledging war is awful.

Gundam 0080 brings up the subject and that is one of the many reasons why it's one of the best Gundam shows in the whole series. The main character Al and his friends are stand ins for a lot of the Gundam fanbase who never got the anti-war messages. SPOILERS In the end, Al understands after witnessing the horrors of war and losing a friend. His friends don't go through any of that and still don't get it.

Reminds me of when certain folks said Gundam "got woke" because of Witch From Mercury.

the boring space politics of Gundam actually kept me from trying out the mecha genre for the longest time
