Same goes for sci-fi in general
“tHeY mAdE sTaRtReK pOlItIcAl”
680 episode seasons, from which only 3 episodes are not space Aesop’s fables.
That’s the problem when you find someone too stupid to even understand the analogies used to try and teach them. For someone it’s just the story of “stuff happening to a little girl bringing food to her grandma in the woods”.

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

Japanese businessman: AHHHHHHH! On top of the corporate headquarters!?
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.

The human drama is the central focus, the mechs is just changing the set pieces.
there’s only so many plots.
For example: It’s a standard workplace love story exploring the ego and id. It’s just that the workplace is an underground base where some dudes are letting teenagers pilot alien hybrid mechs to bring about the end of humanity.

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.
Exo-Squad from the 90s, didn’t have gay stuff. But damn if it wasn’t heavy on the politics.
5 daysIf this is supposed to prove a mecha show with no gay stuff, I’m sure I can dig up some fanfic to argue otherwise.
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

I’m pretty sure you have to be in some kind of love with your partner to pilot one of those.
1980’s? Yes.
2000’s? No. Full of politics. Government waste, spies, Area 51 coverups, discussions of the deep state and military use in civilian areas. One of the movies referenced wars in the middle east.

Is that the one that feels like Char is recounting the story of 0079 but in a way that makes him seem way more cool and badass than he was?
I know, I know, this is a common complaint about media in general these days.
But I swear on Char Aznabel’s big red Zaku, if they take the gay stuff and politics out of my big ass robot shows, I’m going to Operation British the Whitehouse!
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
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.
No, that still leaves underage pilots going into combat and suffering immense mental trauma.

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