I like mecha a lot. East, West, big, small, new, old.
Read Full Metal Daemon Muramasa, play Battletech, Heavy Gear, and Armored Core, watch Gundam, Dunbine, Rayearth, Escaflowne, or I will sign you up to pilot Zearth.

Also funny how they hyper focus on Haman when Sarah is right there

People also seem to miss that her dynamic with Judau is also intentionally gross because she literally has no concept of a healthy relationship power and age balance.

As a creator for stuff in Gundam fandom I have had many long detailed and evolving discussions about Zeta and the fucked up relationships in it lol.

If anything Char recognized how toxic it was and disengaged, but in a way where he only thought of himself and not Haman.

What's worse than a Zeon?
A Zeon cop

I think people write off gun arms too much because of John Westmech style designs(ie walking box tank or walking jet head with not much to distinguish its silhouette), but they're a cool concept! Very grounded but can be distinct!

Wait how does ZoE and E7 not count? They're actively piloted.

Ahhhhh yeah. My understanding is that late 90s era BT was run by someone who projected his RL military experience onto the property and it took YEARS to undo that aesthetic. BT2018 and MW5 helped swing the pendulum back a little bit for video games. But the damage was done for perception.

God as a Battletech fan I'm so sorry
Especially since they're honestly missing what BT is all about too, it's anime as hell
BT is about future knights, warriors and mercs fighting it out with giant fighting robots controlled by their minds and joysticks. Some even have swords!

You can even have the body dysmorphia *and* the robots and the politics together! Why only one or the other?!
But honestly what examples are you thinking of? I'm blanking cuz all of the Western mecha I'm into knows what it's about

Unsurprising.
There are other YTers to watch though. Sven van der Plank is a great one

He's been a bit of a... I don't wanna say missing stair, cuz it wasn't well known. But a fair few people in the BT fan community knew he was rancid based on certain specific interactions.

Yeah, when Epic didn't want to make Gears of War 4 because it'd cost too much money the solution should have been to make it in a way that was less costly

Wish the dev of Chained Echoes consulted native English speakers for their text.

What I find really insidious about the guy is he basically ducked under the blanket push against bigots in the BT space by hiding evidence he was one, allowing him to build up a base of followers he actively tried to keep from knowing better.
