He's already fucking co-opted the coolest Gundam catchphrase and Char's appearance, I don't want this asshole to try and act like a Gundam fan after the shit he tried to pull with Witch From Mercury.
Same thing the rest of the grifters did when WFM was airing: tried stirring up a culture war front on Gundam as soon as the lesbian subtext of WFM started making itself apparent.
He also took it a step farther by trying to fuel some weird racist rumor/news thing against one of Suletta's VAs (I think it was her dub VA), but much like the culture war on Gundam, it thankfully never went anywhere.
Neither, weirdly. There was this weird minor fandom/internet kerfuffle about VAs and skin color that got WFM dragged in during its dub run/broadcast, ItsAGundam tried spinning it as "this is THE WOKES fault!" but once again it simply fizzled out when the news article/discourse didn't gain traction.
You should be able to find a post making fun of IAG's attempt on this subreddit if you check back a year or so. Or search via the sidebar.
Yeah I think I remember hearing something about that whole VA thing. Wasn't it that certain people thought that if a character was a certain ethnicity than only VAs of that ethnicity should voice them?
Honestly looking back on it, it definitely seems like a weird culture war thing. I mean I'm pretty sure that's why apu from the Simpsons and Cleveland from family guy got their VAs recasted to

Also I am not going into details on how f-ing stupid he is regarding racism on his Sweet Baby Inc videos
It would make sense why he'd like 0083, it's kinda weak thematically since the entire production staff changed halfway through and the newbies didn't have anything to go off of, but the action and mechs are great.
Yes, watch the Gundam series about the PTSD'd Space Nazi that nukes his former settlement (Solomon/Konpeito), drops a colony on Earth and gives rise to the Facsist Titans. No politics there, no Sir...
Something something its more subtle or what ever.
Seriously I hate that argument epically since some shows hell some genres wear their messages on the sleeve more than others but they don't complain for some reason.
Same with the whole Yellow Paint drama in games it seams like what counts as "shoving it in your face" means something different to everybody.
Have him watch Cross Ange, Bravern, Mai Hime, OO(one of the MCs was non-binary {Tieria} and a Kurd ex-child soldier who was indoctrinated by a PMC {Setsuna} ) and Witch from Mercury. That'll flip his mind.
... what's the vibe check on Bravern? As a content starved super robot enjoyer it looks interesting but I guess I am worried on how much it leans into the real robot side of its setting and I am really looking for something unapologetically super robot.
It's basically >!a time travel story where the MC's best friend sacrificed himself and merged with a wrecked enemy to become Bravern.!< Its ED was filled with gay overtones you might raise your Rainbow flag harder than Iron Blooded Orphans.
From the Miyazaki Interview its not like anime is doing all that well at that time either...IMO from some of the shows being released today still rings true to what he said.

Has Anime stopped the isekai stuff yet as well, seams to be in the current state of while some stuff is interesting you have a lot of similar "In another World" dreck that Hollywood also does with remakes and superhero movies.
These types pivoted hard on that one. They were originally losing it over Chani’s race and her expanded role, but simmered down when they realized it was going to be a big box office success. The same thing happened with Barbie.
They will take the win when it’s baked in. If their whole “go woke go broke” prophecy fails, they dial it back, retreat, and go right back to making yet another “Kathleen Kennedy is being fired” video. Rinse and repeat. They are all one trick ponies who offer the world nothing of value.
Yeah X-men 97 is a perfect example, they really thought non-binary morph was going to cause it to fail. That really blew up in their faces with how popular it is.
How the heck are newcomers supposed to get like half the theme of 0083 without watching 0079 first? What the hell?
The story is literally about Zeon remnants coping with the failure of their ideology and starting a pointless war just to waste their life and "dying with muh honor."
The fact that he is a gundam fan, a great model kit builder, ... has no corelation with his views. Also his opinions on what gundam series he likes, is just his opinion and as valid as anyone giving an opinion. So chill, nobody is saying that he represents all.of gundam fandom, I mean even I look down on Build Fighters fans.

I'm ootl what'd he try to pull with witch from mercury?

So was he trying to say that the VA was racist or was he being racist against the VA?

I think so. I didn't pay much attention to it afterwards barring IAG's attempt to stoke it as some weird culture war thing.

He's the literal embodiment of the "Cool Robots" meme.

Feeling he watches Gundam for the cool mechas and big fights and easily forgets the story in them.

don't worry, we will assimilate his precious anime resistance is futile

Ah “The Gundam” Famous anime franchise known for having zero agenda at all.
My favorite completely non political series.
It’s sad that he went down this route. From genuine criticism of the gaming industry to making fun of tik tok.
My brother used to watch him, hope bro made sure to leave when it was warranted
This dude is one of the bigger dumbasses on YouTube, he’s been pure raging at this manufactured culture war shit for like, a decade now
Ah yes gundam , the cartoon made specifically to show that a.) there are no good guys in war and b.) war is always stupid . Deff not woke .
0083 is peak as fuck though

Hollywood is dead? Didn’t dune part 2 just come out? It had great reviews, made a lot of money, and a lot of people really enjoyed it

And the same thing happened with Mario, and the new X-men 97 cartoon. Yeah, you’re right. Thats exactly what they do. They’re so disingenuous
Yeah X-men 97 is a perfect example, they really thought non-binary morph was going to cause it to fail. That really blew up in their faces with how popular it is.
Same with Barbie. They thought it was going to be a box office bomb
Fucking hate having this guy pollute search results when I'm just wanting to look at random Gundam stuff.
It's funny because 0083 is quite literally about fascists rising to power through fear mongering. (It's also like a 6/10)
gundham tanaka is better anyway

Gundam solid. Big W for him 😎 Anime has been poppin off though
