lol Are we really surprised about sexism in workplaces though. Even nowadays, people are still pushing back against any sort of feminism in America. The moment 1 woman was caught lying, the narrative becomes females don't deserve equal rights. Heck, even the chess world, there are still American men who insist women can't play chess.

2022-11-06 18:28:24 +0000 UTCI very rarely comment, but I have to hand it to you for doing these rewinds. While I'm very reticent to guide your viewing with foreknowledge, I feel like there are a few things that might be cleared up now, given the close reading of the interviews in this last video. 1. In the first rewind, you again commented that the bridge Kamille drives his stolen jeep over is "going up" or something to that effect. The colonies are based on this design: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O%27Neill_cylinder, so the bridge is wrapping around the interior curve of the tube, bridging over a mirror section that lets sunlight into the interior. Beyond that, the particular shot calling attention to the geometry of the colony seems thematic as well, presenting a closed off world within Kamille's home. 2. There are some fundamental writing issues in the narrative as a result of the pace of production and unresolved disagreements between episode writers. This is most noticeable with the way Fa (and her piloting ability) gets written very differently even in back to back episodes. So while there's still the possibility of a reading that synthesizes this discordant characterization, don't stress if it just seems off. edit. Might as well name the differing writers: Endo's (https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=1673) episodes tend to write Fa as incompetent while Suzuki's (https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=119010) have her accomplishing things. Per your later discussion section on women in workplaces, Endo went on to have a long career writing more sexist depictions of women, while Suzuki appears to have been driven out of the industry entirely in short order. 3. Kamille as "autistic". This is a definitional issue as I understand it via the research here: https://gundampodcast.com/episode/a3bd2eeb95444339/discipline-and-punish, the term being used to describe "withdrawl" more than anything like the modern usage.
