Why Gundam is lacking testosterone now?

It's a sign we're well on our way to eliminate that disease.

What a disgusting post >>23572040

the dudebro team was one of the weaker points in 0083. only kou, keith, burning and monsha mattered, i cant even remember the names of the other two because theyre such nothing filler characters

>>23572030 (OP)
Franchises need to appeal to female audiences now because they are a larger market. Hence why we are getting female protagonists in every sci-fi series now (Gundam, Star Trek, Doctor Who etc)

>>23572224
If they want to appeal to female audiences the cast should be cute boys.

>>23572228
That'll be next. They'll all look like a Kpop band

>>23572231
We know, they're called the upcoming Wing and IBO projects.

>>23572241
What IBO project? And Wing has no upcoming events; PV was just a 30th anniversary celebration and not a Frozen Teardrop tease.

>>23572224
women don't want to watch lesbians, they want to watch men who are sexy and bipolar

>>23572030 (OP)
Nah, real test boys look like balls of grease and they buy gunpla.

>>23572030 (OP)
Kou is the most beta Gundam protagonist ever.

>>23572030 (OP)
Chap Adel has that Tom Selleck look, doesn't he?

>>23572030 (OP)
Can't believe I'm older than half the cast already
And didn't realize Kou is THAT much of a kid

>>23572224
Huh? Gundam has always has a large female following. Char drew a lot of fujos to the franchise.
>b-but female MCs...
Unless the show is a self-insert, pretty boy MCs appeal to adult females and cute girl MCs appeal to adult males

>>23572444
>tfw almost as old as Burning

>>23572030 (OP)
I thought Burning was 32.

>>23572030 (OP)
Why do have of them look so damn old for their age?
It's like looking at boomer graduation highschool photos, it's shocking to see how 18 year olds back then looked like 30 year olds.

>>23572444
>>23572862
Anime ages. Always add 3-10 years

>>23572030 (OP)
It's making more money without it

The men of today are waifufags thanks to gacha games. Nobody wants a sausage fest anymore. They want to see a cast of majority girls. That isn't to say they necessarily want yurishit, of course, but that's besides the point.

>>23573341
Nobody who is watching Cingray is watching it for any perceived /u/. They're watching because they want to watch umas race. Besides, Cygames already got a stern talking-to about putting /u/ in Uma before the game released. Any /u/ you think is there is all made up in your head.

>>23574842
>The men of today are waifufags thanks to gacha games.

The Machine Robo franchise literally got overtaken by the waifu character like 40 years ago. Just because it got easier to trade waifus doesn't mean the gacha pigs of today are different than the garage kit hoarders of yesterday.


>>23574849
>Any /u/ you think is there is all made up in your head.

You need to stop lying to yourself, Norn.

>>23572045
sorry you feel that way <3

>>23574849
Yeah Cygames would never try sneaking in /u/ shit in their properties it has literally never happened ever especially not this very week

>>23575024
You know, on thinking about it, I am perfectly fine with your testosterone being eliminated <3

Gundam was always a kiddy show.

>>23575128
Uma is the only one with yakuza behind it, kiddo

>>23575024
>>23575131
now kiss

>>23575249
uh oh meltie

>>23572342
Cut him some slack. He was fucked by the military doctrine, the Federation's corruption and falling in love with a worthless piece of shit woman.

If he was part of the AEUG instead he would've kicked ass. Keith too.

>>23572030 (OP)
Because we now live in a gynocentric world, and as a result misandry has become extremely normalized. The ripple effect of this can be felt throughout everything. Gundam is just another example.

>>23575128
Grubflop has nothing to do with Uma.

Because women spend 3-5 times more on stupid crap than men do and are also more likely to post about it on social media and basically give it free advertising. Thats why the past decade you've seen so many companies try to revive themselves by shifting away from the shrinking child/young adult market and catering more and more to women. Gundam has always had a solid female fanbase but even they have been pushing to expand it because otherwise they will stagnate and go into a slump.

>>23575128
I'm not saying Cygames would never be the gayest company on the block, but they're not going to for Uma. GBF does it because its devs are pozzed and have no one is keeping them in check. Uma nearly died pre-release because the yakuza didn't like the direction it and the first season of the anime were going in.

Lt. Burning's death was fucking bullshit
>Get briefcase with all of the enemy's plans conveniently in them
>Reads them out slowly
>JUST as he's about to reveal the terrible truth the random graze to the GM's torso fucks the entire nuclear reactor somehow?

Should have just had Cima waste him in a close fight to not have her look like a dumb bitch in comparison to Gato. Hopefully the manga does his character more justice.

>>23578011
watch your mouth, Miss Cima is my wife

>>23572030 (OP)
Turns out Keith was the actual protag.

>>23572030 (OP)
Mora has more testosterone than any of them

>>23578067
of course he was

he was smashing Mora, she was the best girl. Nina has nothing on Moras thick body

>>23572030 (OP)
How was Burning only 39 years old? I thought he was near 50

>>23578125
Chain smoking does that to you

>>23578059
>>23578120
Best waifus in the series

How are japanese zoomers supposed to relate to characters much older then themselves and self insert?

>>23572030 (OP)
because the vast majority of modern media is and the cultural and economic prospects of the west and Japan continue to get worse and worse which inherently changes what type of media people want to consume

>>23578303
>because the vast majority of modern media is and the cultural and economic prospects of the west and Japan continue to get worse and worse
>muh doom and gloom
Oh fuck off. We are literally one fucking step from developing sentient AI. Something that Yoshiyuki Tomino couldn't even dream about, when he was writing the first Gundam in late 70's. Just because ''muh GDP line goes down'' doesn't change the fact that we are literally living in the most prosperous, and best time in humanity's history.

>>23578839
>one fucking step from developing sentient AI

you techbros are fucking silly sometimes.

>>23578839
this. 100%. the Singularity is upon us and AI will uplift each and every one of us. I somewhat disagree that we're living in prosperous times (i'm lucky i can pay my own bills as a well-earning first-worlder, but the vast majority of humans on this very planet outside your urban bubble still struggle to put food on the table) but if we just hold out a bit longer, we'll all transcend to something amazing.

>>23578839
>things cant be worse because even if they got a little worse and it reflects in the media people consume it would still take like a while before were back to 1930s poverty!!!!!!
absolute fucking moron, kill yourself

>>23578883

Unironically true, you fucking cretin.

what kinda retarded catch 22 autism is this

cope more im sure sentient AI is right around the corner and will totally fix all your problems techfaggot

>>23578898
Shut the fuck up, Luddite.

>>23578906
oh right because you're a double major software engineer biologist on the cutting edge of the wetware revolution right? or some powerful industrialist buying up land to maximize your data centre power? right? no? you're a fucking loser screeching about a fantasy to fix your worthless existence online? interesting

>>23578839
> We are literally one fucking step from developing sentient AI.
Yup, daddy Altman just needs another 5-7 trillion USD (not a joke) to meet compute demands.
read: buy more GPU and scale!!! More power usage!!!

>Most prosperous
Can you tell me how Netflix having a half a trillion market cap is improving my life? Or the average 1st world citizen, let alone the 3rd world?
Where is this wealth concentrated exactly? And does it have something to do with why groceries and basic goods are out running normal inflation rates? Or consumer goods like appliances are lower quality and less reliable?

We live in a world where cities across the US are installing cameras that track your movement and daily life by monitoring transportation arteries.
But it's cool. Because Facebook is worth 1.78 trillion and produce a lot of "value."

Rick and Morty ass comment man.

>>23578935
>>23579926
Kek, get a better fucking job and shut the fuck up. ''Muh rent, muh groceries'', nobody gives a fuck. And if AI is going to replace your job, it probably wasn't wort shit to begin with.

>>23579946
>Nobody gives a fuck
I do. I'm more insulated from it, but I care about my fellow country men. The future generation. My friends and neighbors.


"Fuck you I got mine"
You'd sell the nation out from underneath your own feet you spineless sycophant.

He unironically thinks this is the best time in human history he's probably a tranny that survives on hotpockets or something

>the average person works harder and makes less than a medieval peasant but at least we can look at porn

>>23580109
Everyone wants to complain about modern life until they get a toothache or an ear infection and then suddenly it's actually really cool to be able to just pop down to the clinic and get it sorted out.

>>23579946
>Muh rent, muh groceries
more projection from the yang gang retard who got suckered into thinking automation would save him from his shit job

>>23580121
You don't get many toothaches or ear infections do you? You've gotta pay far out the ass for anything dental, unless you have coverage from your job, which is lucky

>>23580169
Oh no, I have to pay money for goods and services? I wish I could just sit around in agony as infection eats its way through my head!

The medieval peasant dreams that he could go into debt to cure his gout.

>>23580185
Tell me you're a baby who's parents "sort it out" for you without telling me you're a baby. Island ape.

Retard

>it doesnt matter how shitty western healthcare gets because at least we know about antibiotics
unless you wanna be back in the dark ages you better start caring kek

>>23580109
I think hes just the archetypal onions midwit who's trying to have an "erm actually" dopamine hit about the dark ages not having indoor toilets so no ones every allowed to complain about anything in the modern world
>actually mass immigration toasting your healthcare system is fine! dont you know people historically didnt have clean socks!

>>23580412
>tell me without telling me!
Make it make sense honey!
How are you both a retvrn to travdition guy but you're also throwing out two dollar feminine social media post bits? You gonna start "spilling my tea" or whatever it is broads do these days?
>>23580687
Unless we're aiming to unlearn penicillin and pain killers, it's not gonna be so bad.
It's also kind of meaningless to shoot down me for saying things used to be worse by pointing out the worst case scenario, "things become almost as bad as they were before".

>>23580868

SORRY SAAAR MANY APOLOGIE MODERN WORLD GOOD BLOODY BASTARD MORE VISAS SAAAR
