Squid in a schoolgirls ass is just fine and dandy but heaven forbid someone is gay.

Well yeah, someone has to think of the children (and their apparent love of tentacles that is only matched by the intensity of their homophobia).

A show about big fighting mechs isn't complete if the pilots aren't gay and in love and hate each other and exclusively communicate through monologues of their ideals on the current political climate.

Battletech is basically all of that except gay. I'm trying to think of any gay characters in Battletech...Rhonda Snord? Maybe a couple of the clanners?

Katherine Steiner-Davion (Victor's crazy sister; not her grandmother, Actual Katrina Steiner) might be considered aromantic...or a psychopath, which I think is an overriding factor.

I wonder if it's more illegal to be gay in the Draconis Combine or in the Capellan Confederation.

There's a "rumored" lesbian love affair between Heather Durant and Terens Amaris which results in house Amaris ruling over the Rim Worlds Republic, teeing up her great x5 grandson Stefan to essentially ruin civilization forever. So that's...kind of canon.

If this is supposed to prove a mecha show with no gay stuff, I'm sure I can dig up some fanfic to argue otherwise.

Ahh, my second boyfriend. He was an idiot but tried to convince me I was the idiot.

I mean, you dated him.

Same reason I don't think that highly of my exes

Pacific Rim. If two straight people merge their minds through a psychic bridge, they both become bigender and then it's gay. Sorry, I don't make the rules.

What happens if only one of the robits gets a roberection? Is that gay enough I don't know how the cybersex is supposed to work my great aunt warned me about people like me

It's sad to see the proud Sgt. Aguado reduced to flipping burgers. Sure, he didn't solve the Snowflake case and didn't realize his Lieutenant was an escaped criminal dressed as a woman, but still...

Look, it's really simple. Master Chief's suit has a fleshlight built into it and Cortana can control it. It's called the autojacker. Read Fall of Reach, it's all in there.

Now you're getting the picture! That's also where Handsome Jack gets his name from

No, that still leaves underage pilots going into combat and suffering immense mental trauma.

I think that part too may have some political messaging.

It's looks like You Can't Do That On Television but I don't think it is.

Fanfic doesn't count or you need to include all fanfiction. I don't think we should break open that particular pandoras box just yet

Exo-Squad from the 90s, didn't have gay stuff. But damn if it wasn't heavy on the politics.

Gay stuff? Shit maybe the reason I don't much care for mecha anime is because I've never seen one that was even a little gay. Er... Unless FLCL counts as a mecha anime. 🤔

It certainly does! FLCL exists to reflect on mecha tropes.

A poor imitation. That's clearly none pizza with up beef, not left beef.
