Anyone else find it weird that Mao's favorite girl is someone who's meant to have "sacrificed her womanhood for a career"? Or are the writers behind Build Fighters totally naive to Tomino and Endo's gender politics?

Someone who defected and goes against the authority just because they act like a jerk doesn't seem like a person who will sacrifice anything to further her career.

I don't think there's anything meant by it other than to reference a famous character. Just also shows he's not just a Gundam X fag and does watch other stuff.

Huh? What in the absolute varnished rose are you talking about? She defected to the AEUG due to the Titans revealing their true nature, a competent pilot, and helped brought down the titans at the end.

If anything, she wasted in Zeta because she lacked scenes to develop her character. The whole Dakar storyline should have had Emma front and center.

These are all very safe, surface appeal characters. Yes, Aila is in a better written show, but I don't think that has a huge effect on how palatable this kind of character is to people.
I mean Rinko is god tier as a waifu and she just acts like a normal mom and barely has big character moments.

>>22942402

That was Reccoa projecting her own issues onto Emma. Reccoa was the one who got nothing going for her except her career and wanting some dick. If she has gone for anyone other than Char she probably wouldn't have defected.

>>22942417
At least there's one universe where they're happy together.

Which is why she's a good waifu, motherly caring women are the best.

I'm sure they showed up in Build Fighters somewhere but I can't be assed to go look for it right now.

Sophie is stretching it a little, but you can't just say Fram doesn't look a lot like the Escalayer girl.
>>
>>22942937
I thought Fram was supposed to be plagiarized from CDA Haman?
>>
>>22942989
I mean, they both have twintails and are newtype/x-rounder, but that's about it. They're not too similar in personality, in fact they develop in opposite directions. Fram started out a bit judgemental, wanting to see if Zeheart was worth her brother's sacrifice, but eventually learned to care for and become Zeheart's loyal subordinate. Haman in CDA started out idolizing Char and wanting to get closer, but eventually grew cold and distant.
>>
>>22942397
Reccoa was an extremely shitty person who threw away her agency and responsibility to let someone else make all the hard decisions for her, and tried to hide behind a mask of "muh vagina".

Her damning of Emma is the highest of praise to a sane person's ears.

I always resent this kind of logic. Tomino often has his men act just as nutty or die just as often. Hell I'd say his men tend to die in dumber ways. But in any case his women don't act really any different than his men yet people always treat it like it's some THING because stuff happens to women.

That's hardly indicative of anything. The black tri stars were all dudes and they all bit it. Yazan's wing buddies both died. See this is my exact point.
>>
>>22942873
Because they're Endo's unironic opinions on women filtered through fictional strawmen.
>>
>>22943087
No I mean the character design. Which show was it specifically stolen from?
>>
>>22943105
Usually when men die it's not treated as some kind of massive statement about gender. And neither is it about being torn between love and mental conditioning. Compare Apolly and Katz's deaths to Sarah and Rosamia 2's.

I would not describe someone who likes Emma as "weird" in the slightest. She's a sensible girl and soldier who kept her mind open to new ideas and chose on her own to fight against oppression, genocide, and tyranny. Mao likes Gundam X, Crossbone Gundam, Emma, and pays for car rides with Kshatriyas. He is a man of EXCELLENT taste.
