Piracy is good and you should do more of it. Use https://9anime.to/ and https://4anime.to/ for streaming, and https://nyaa.si/ for torrents. Piracy is the only means of digital protest that audiences have to fight poor worker treatment.

For over 40 years Gundam has had straight white male protags, heaven forbid it be a gay woman we must not upset the precious otaku who buys our injection mold plastic gunpla kits.
It's funny because the G-Witch kits were doing really well.
Hey, to be fair, Yoshiyuki Tomino has frequently credited the fujoshi contingent for helping Gundam get off the ground at the beginning, even more than the gunpla fans.>
Cool, didn't know this.
first queer woman of color as a gundam protag was in 1999
(i am only half joking here)
Loraaaaaaaaan!
i genuinely think loran has some gender going on, but because it's the early 20th century he doesn't have any of the language to express it, and so it just manifests as him being completely fine with dressing up as laura from time to time
The deep lore is that Loran was Tomino's 2nd attempt at a girl protagonist and the suits deep-sixed that idea again. What we ended up with's probably better tho.
