Can any tranny that's into mechs explain to me what the fuck Mechsploitation is?
>>41276058Basically they want to be the main character of Armored Core 6
>>41276058exploitation (the genre) but there's giant robots and they are the source of some or most of the shocking 'exploitation' content like having to become a deformed cyborg in order to physically plug yourself into your giant robot that would be a textbook mechsploitation trope
>>41276136And what is exploitation as a genre?
>>41276143According to Wikipedia"An exploitation film is a film that seeks commercial success by capitalizing on current trends, niche genres, or sensational content. Exploitation films often feature themes such as suggestive or explicit sex, sensational violence, drug use, nudity, gore, destruction, rebellion, mayhem, and the bizarre."
>>41276058its wanting to be abused and treated like a dog by someone that has complete control over you while you do war crimes for them
>>41276136what i’ve seen (mostly snippets on bluesky) it’s not necessarily becoming a cyborg, but becoming mentally dependent on piloting and following orders
>>41276177Walter's good little hound...
>>41276180physical integration with your machine was just one example there is a lot of ways you can do 'mechsploitation'
>>41276177But what does that have to do with feminization?
>>41276136How is that different from regular mecha? Because even in old shit like Getter Robo it's established that only the top 1% of athletes can handle being a getter pilot and Zeta Gundam has psychics. I wish people would stop making genre names that aren't needed.
>>41276094the rest of the thread is really just describing this lol wownice and succinct
>>41276058It's not centrally about the mechs, the appeal is mostly the mind control porn in a military setting. If you don't like mechs you can just pretend they're tanks or fighter jets or whatever
>>41276058basically, what you need to know is it's just way edgier hdg
>>41276058It's basically a kink/trauma coping thing similar to the pilots in Evangelion where they're exploited and forced into going to war in giant robots
>>41276058I don't particularly like mechs but I think some fringe futurist society that looked down on sexual dimorphism so they have a warrior caste of androgynous mech pilots would be kind of neat. And how they deal with platonic relationships with eachother and live after they retire. And it would be more interesting of a setting than just abuse misery porn like a lot of mech stuff.>isn't this just the author's fetish?yes
>>41276058i looked thia up cause i had no idea what it is either and the first thing that showed up is an archiveofourown link with all the stuff tagged mechsploitation. it was like 20 pages of it and all of it was bizarre fetishistic transbian shit. the hell even is this
