I don't think people should be walking around on pins and needles when it comes to spoilers, but I would appreciate it if when someone's watching something for the first time you wouldn't decide for them what is or isn't "Really" a spoiler.

Here is a list of things that are cool and fine to talk about and discuss but kind of silly to get super angry about :

Robots
Story structure and pacing
People disagreeing with you over the Internet

Cheers.

I am talking about the guys who got ~~angry~~annoyed when I said they had a tendency to oversell the hell out of (Everything)Turn A which they did.

Quite a few of the regular of the "Defend Tomino to the death" guys have shown up. Look what 2 1/2 sentences got me. Next thing we know the thread gets frozen again. Fanboys are the worse.

Is there a particular reason you've dedicated yourself to inventing fights to pick.

I think you'll find far less people care about your opinion on Tomino than they do the way you tear into anyone who doesn't share your opinion.

Alright guys let's not turn this into a place into a sideshow.

Look where this got me. At worse it is a neutral opinion. Stating something I have observed. Nothing caustic about it.

Your initial opinion was neutral, yes - if weird to parse - but upon being asked to clarify you immediately jumped to, "You guys worship Tomino too much," after which you proceeded to paint your detractors in broad, unflattering strokes apropos of nothing besides Boom Boom being Boom Boom. I can't say I see how a bunch of people advocating/defending Tomino's chops specifically as a comedy writer somehow translates into them blindly standing vigil in his hallowed name, especially when many of these same posters are critical of him in other areas.

I never said he was. I just said that he's willing to use (implied) paedophilia as part of his overarching metaphor for adults ruining/holding back the potential of youth. See also, Char wrecking Haman and Quess's lives. In other words, much about Ple and her sisters is creepy and offputting because Tomino wants it to be creepy and offputting, and the name is part of that. poo poo, just look at our introduction to Ple Two.

While you may be correct in your interpretation (as you are regarding the origin of Puru's name), that first post of yours still reads like you're making untoward accusations, even if that wasn't your intention - which combined with your posts on Erased looks like you have some sort of weird fixation, even if you don't.

Just something to keep in mind if you plan on discussing this further and wonder why people continue to react negatively to it.

"Char did nothing wrong."

-what 99% of the Japanese think. Tomino is the 1%.

(USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

That feel when you google the population of Japan and accidentally misread 127.3 million Japanese as 1.273 million Japanese.
