What would you do /m/, if some crazy evil scientist made a robotic copy of you? Not only does your copy wants to prove it is superior, but also to take your place permanently.

Anon, my life is not the best, but I am happy with it and happy to have it, and furthermore, I can do whatever I want with it. Do you know why I'm going to let this robot do whatever it wants? Because even as a loser I am not that fucking pathetic. This thing's entire existence is simply to emulate and ""improve"" on what mine was before it came into being. So long as I have my own life I am my own self, which this pathetic thing will never be since the sole reason it exists is to be a slave to my old existence. Whether I sink low into personal nothingness or achieve something I never imagined possible, I'd still consider myself superior to this thing in every way, right up until I die, because I am myself, and this thing will never be itself, since apparently its very existence forbids it.

To mention a case that's relevant to another board here, /vt/: so, this year on Cover corp, half of their japanese male branch talents Holostars graduated (retired/quit the company), and the girls division, Hololive, was consolidated into one entity, so no more English or Indonesia divisions. Why such changes? Because their boss, Motoaki Tanigo aka YAGOO, who otherwise was perceived as a CEO that knew what he was doing and proved so with success, sincerely believed that HoloEarth, an METAVERSE, would be popular. Predictably, all it did was drain money for years and it was terminated right before the above cost-reduction changes were made.

tldr: holy shit anon, I cannot emphasize on how out of touch and out of date japanese businessmen can be.

the salamis with nukes and zaku radiation stuff is never even implied in the original show. also in the original show, while you definitely have fed soldiers who are extreme assholes to the white base crew and you have those soldiers looting amuro's mothers house, i don't think there's any evidence in the show to indicate that the federation would be so callous as to murder their own citizens (side 5 was allied to the ef). so, i am still led to believe that zeon is responsible for most of the deaths in space. again if you have any evidence as to the contrary then i would love to hear it unless it's the same retarded bullshit cope from ivan that they are evil for not surrendering immediately.
>>
>>24064541
Well you are going to have to explain the fact that he Federation space fleet is around 3 to 4 times bigger than all of Zeon's space fleet, at least in terms of ships and fighters. That means the Federation is firing a lot more ordinance and weapons than the Zeon fleet.

Musai ships only have beam weapon turrets. Those are meant for piercing. Zakus carry small machine guns, heat axes, and small rockets to punch through Federation ship armor. Not enough to shatter massive colonies. Zakus are precision weapons. They dodge and get in close and sink Federation ships by hiring their engine or bridge.

So that leaves the Federation fleet. They are equipped with tons of huge missiles, anti-ship rockets, and nukes. So most of the destruction must have come for the Federation fitting off all their weapons and miles. While Zakus dodge and sink Federation ships up close.

>still couldn't point atleast some specific scenes
>colony drop in every episode
Never really addressed in the show, they show that scene while blaming both parties. The fact that you use that as something specifically against Zeon shows how deep Feddie cock is in your ass, like you can't be serious.
>the overall situation that the EF finds itself in where they are on the backfoot even on earth
This point doesn't hold cause majority of humanity lives in space.
>vague text trying to introduce grey morality where it doesnt exist (again, like the flavour text in ROTS)
I wouldn't necessarily call 'both sides suck and are responsible for half of human population being dead' as grey morality but it's definitely not black and white like you think. I don't care if the text in SW specifically fits or not, we are not discussing that, so stop using the "b...but in star wars..." argument.
>there is no suggestion that the federation has done anything on the same level of destruction.
>i challenge you to point out anything that the federation has done that equals that level of human destruction.
Your retarded ass saw the narration scene every episode and conveniently erased the part where they mentioned Federation with Zeon. To say that you are misinterpreting things and coming at it from one angle while putting all of the shared blame on other side, would be putting it lightly.

Not mention both characters existing independently in Energon.

When I look back at the /m/ culture of yesteryear I can't help but wonder how it must have been like at the time, with the pirimitive or no internet at all and relying on fan circles IRL to get information.
I can imagine that while there was less access to stuff, the things people did manage to get they enjoyed a lot, and felt more special.

That was the case for most things really. You can pick up on alot of the same heart from early comics fandom, especially so in fanzines from the 60's and 70's. The internet itself wasnt so much the problem as much as pushing everything with a pulse online was. You cant effectively gatekeep or cultivate a healthy community on today's net.
>You could say... It's a protoculture...
Correct me if I'm wrong, but were HG's writers implying robotechnology was the protoculture? I dont enjoy the two subsequent series as much as the initial one so I've never fully understood what they were getting at with the incesant talk of the "robotech masters". It'd have made more sense if the protoculture was just an ancient race of men the zentraedi owned their existence to, then dedicated themselves to tracing the footsteps there of. I recognize the (self-imposed) limitations of the Rick Hunter portion of the "saga", but following his exploits always seemed much more entertaining than what they inevitably went with. I'll also note the ending they went with was pretty ass.

>You can tell they tried to revive the genre with Eureka Seven and TTGL after what Evangelion did. But unfortunately, it wasn't enough.

Mecha was still going strong at the time, really. It was just fans of old shows complaining about how the new shows were different, but there was still a fairly consistent output of mecha anime in the 00s. It's afterwards that there's a big fall off.

Probably because all series trying to copy Code Geass or Gundam SEED failed and for whatever reason Gurren Lagann seemed to be just ignored and didn't have much of an impact of future new series. Then you had Shin Mazinger's failure back in 2009, which really seemed to cripple the number of new Dynamic Pro robot shows from this point on.
>>
>>24061232
TTGL couldn't have impacted anything because it is entirely derivative and TRIGGER's non-LWA output were nothing but "remember when we made TTGL? lol that was epic" which remained that way until they got lucky with Edgerunners. It also didn't drag anybody into mecha because the average anime-watching normalfag hated everything that wasn't the most generic slop shonen or ecchi, and the only reason they watched TTGL was because it was sold to them as shonen and Yoko was in it. For post 2010 anime normalfags, they would only check it out because it was "good mecha show even though I don't like mecha because robots suck and I hate them (I also haven't actually ever watched any mecha ever)".
>>
>>24061237
>TTGL couldn't have impacted anything because it is entirely derivative
I mean, it could have an impact if people only come into contact with those ideas through it.

>and TRIGGER's non-LWA output were nothing but "remember when we made TTGL? lol that was epic"

They were Trigger style stuff, but they weren't mecha shows, and even something like Kill la Kill was much more episodic than Gurren Lagann too even if it had similar style for action. There weren't actual Gurren Lagann clones even from Trigger.

>>24060746
Wasn't the whole intersex thing in Sidonia being undecided (whatever that actually looked like) before settling on one way or the other once a suitable partner was found? After that it was just a matter of flipping sexes (presumably without the ritual butchery like irl), not going (back?) down the middle route. And Nihei didn't even have balls to include canon carpet munchers despite all the signs pointing to just that at some point. Although, given the context, I guess it's understandable, with Sidonia's limited population or whatever.
