i do think one thing this episode does is that it finally clears up what "the point" of gqux is: aside the social commentary, fundamentally gqux is a judgment cast on the UC and its legacy. much of the plot, characterization, and themes (in particular, the treatment of women in UC) orient

GQux is the new F91 This latest episode is thematically dense but also *really* needed...more and better buildup to this. People have been saying it should have a full 2 cour anime, but I actually think it needed like...4 more episodes to pull off what's it's trying to do with its the plot.

I must reiterate that this strategy of publicly scolding "the activists" for staking out "unpopular" positions and (supposedly) making the party look bad is not only morally cowardly but strategically counterproductive Activists aren't your employees, they won't change just because you told them to

i fully thought i wouldn’t see gay marriage legalized before i was 70 and then it happened when i was 20, when it was STILL pretty unpopular this has happened with every single rights issue. stop telling trans people it’ll get better if they just keep accepting punches until cis people get tired

play games outside your discipline, even if you don't like them. engage with why you do or don't like them. it's great practice! you should try to experience OSR, trad, storygame, gmless, solo, fkr, larp, etc and see how they warp your idea of what our goofy little hobby is
