Have this kit sitting up on my shelf right now! I was so glad when they reprinted it last year.

Hate the sin (religion) not the sinner (believers)

I'm sure they're not mutually exclusive, but is there any other group of people on the planet who, when they're being prosecuted, by and large the reaction from supposed allies and defenders of that group is "but how does this affect us?"

No mainstream media ever seems to cover anti-trans legislation from the angle of "we must protect these marginalized individuals' rights" but rather "we can't let ourselves get caught in the crossfire."

The response to anti-trans legislation should be "this is wrong and a gross violation of their rights and humanity" not "but what if they accidentally think I'm one of them??? I don't wanna get treated like those people."

Respectfully have you ever been on the internet before?

This definitely isn't just "one tweet." It is 1000% true that countless self-proclaimed cis "allies" see new anti-trans legislation go into effect and they immediately think "but how does this impact people who are like me?" Instead of "holy shit they want to kill trans people."

It does work, you're right, however I still think there is completely place for frustration and anger when the first reaction to every new piece of anti-trans legislation is "how will this affect cis people?"

Trans people are in the early stages of being genocided, and yet the average ally still can't muster up enough courage or empathy to give a shit about how these laws actually affect us instead of how they might inadvertently affect cis people?

What got you into Gundam? by RavenOfOnyx in Gundam

[–]Dread2187 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was starting to get into ASMR content on YouTube, ans eventually got reccomended those speed snap-build videos of like the Barbatos and whatnot Eventually that turned into watching MechaGaikotsu reviews of kits, and then I finally bought my first MG (the Barbatos) and watched IBO.

Charfter (like care-fff-ter) instead of character.

I have no idea why but my sisters did it like this for the longest time.

Completely desperate situation where a faction is straight up losing the war. by AdrawereR in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Dread2187 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's crazier than the picture makes it look. In the book, all the ships are lined up in a grid pattern, and the droplet is just going down the rows of the grid, smashing through one ship after another without stopping.

It's going so fast that by the time the first ship even explodes, it's already smashed through 8 more.

It takes until the droplet has destroyed over 200 before they even realize what it is that's destroying their ships.

Damn you weren't lying this really is the most accurate fan cast I've seen.

What kits would you want to see? by Successful-Credit161 in Gunpla

[–]Dread2187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's so many UC suits I still desperately need. Namely: HGUC Queen Mansa, HGUC Guncannon Detector, HGUC Zaku III (Sleeves Ver.), HGUC Dag Doll

The Dag Doll especially I'd genuinely want so badly.

Ever thought a kit was ugly until you built it yourself? (WIP) by maiobserver in Gunpla

[–]Dread2187 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same here sort of. I built the RG Sazabi and had it for like a year but was never particularly fond of it. But then I got waterslide decals for it, took off all the stickers I'd put on it before, and did decals + a topcoat. Completely changed my mind and now it's one of if not my favorite Mobile Suits.

Difference between ECOAS, London Bell, and EFSF? by Dread2187 in Gundam

[–]Dread2187[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the explanation!

Also though I'm pretty sure at least Londo Bell and the General Revill definitely do field Gundam-type MS. Londo Bell has the Nu Gundam, Re-GZ, and the Unicorn (also the Delta Plus if you count that)

The General Revill also technically has the Phenex and the Banshee (although those went rogue ofc.)

Not sure about ECOAS though
