The entire genre was invented by right wingers. People who served, or at least greatly understood, the military and acknowledges how grossly incompetent both the military and government are. Even the opening scene in Patlabor 2 is a direct reference to a real life fuckup in Cambodia.

Right wingers don't understand a fundamentally right-wing genre?

Oh no, someone doesn't know the deep lore. Real-Robot mecha along with most anime sci-fi in general is a direct-line descendant of Doc E.E. Smith and Robert Heinlein. There's a reason Lensman and Starship Troopers got anime treatments long before any western media companies did anything with them.

And why should'nt "conservatives" leave with "conservative views" whatever you think that means?

Replying to @mechatwtconfess
i think takes like this put too much faith in fictions ability to change peoples minds. fiction can be written with specific intention yes but it is, ultimately, highly interpretable and if someone is dead-set on their views its not gonna be fiction that changes their mind

OP thinks anyone who disagrees with them is a Nazi/a subhuman incapable of forming good opinions. OP needs to get off reddit and get a job.

Mobile Suit Gundam's most resonant theme is that one's affiliations alone do not dictate the content of one's character or their capacity for morality. This is incompatible with "Punch Nazis".

I mean, Oshii was a left-winger that later became a pro-militaristic right-winger. Tomino is totally a leftist for USA standards, but worldwide he still supports Ukraine instead of Russia and always was against the chinese government. The true commie was actually YAS.

It's funny because 0079 is apolitical, watching it as a left or right leaning person, it's suppose to be a reflection of how terrible war is. As for Oshii, it's more a reflection of his greater commentary on post war Japan, and his gripes with it.

Jeez. Try to clean up the political brainrot and just watch the big robots have cool fights. "Fundamentally incapable" of viewing life outside a singular lens.

Nigga Patlabor 2 starts with scene in which the main point is that the UN is incompetent and retarded. And recently Oshii even stated that political correctness is ass. Get out of your bubble bro.
