Tomino tried to be progressive in Gundam and received a lot of pushback. Even lost some trusted staff who quit over Tomino's insistence on including Guin, and Bandai's suits refusing to allow Guin to be officially stated as gay and also rejected the more extreme concepts where Guin was flamboyantly gay and trying to groom Loran.
He also thought it was time to bring American involvement into Gundam and got Syd Mead to do the MS designs, only for the Gundam fanbase to torch him over it for years for betraying the spirit of Gundam to the west. Heck, even though now many Japanese have warmed up to the designs, they're still not popular enough to make a regular kit of them. It took the Build series to make some of the designs popular, like May's WaDOM or the Turn Alnus.
