I was perusing Japanese GW sites last night, so it was funny to see this thread pop up.

No need to be rude man. Why go into threads insulting pairings/people you don't like? Just ignore.
More pics for OP since Llyander is a jackass.

GW was made to create a fandom by vaguely implying every possible pairing without giving any too much evidence.It was an attempt to market Gundam to girls by spurring doujinshi creation. Anti-pairing arguments are idiotic.

I happen to take special offence to 1x2x1- I have ever since I got into the fandom five years ago or more. It makes NO SENSE WHATSOEVER if you consider the personalities of the pilots. Stupid fangirls see two guys with a lot of screen-time together, a few lines and/or movements that might suggest gay vibes, and they instantly get on the same train of hivemind and call it OTP. GW was raped by its own fans.

You can ignore me too, you know. I can say what I want. I think a great majority of people here simply disregard whatever I post.

I always felt it was to sell model kits, just like the other Gundam shows. That's why the destroyed Gundams come back as newer, better models. Kits are where Bandai make their money.

They make money from kits, but GW was entirely an effort to bring girls into the fandom. GW was also the first series with a lot of plushie and character merchendise rather than primarily robot merchendise.

Troll needs to figure out that the point of GW was to encourage fangirls to do what they always do, which is to slash boys because they talked a little.

There will always be some people out there who are new, unsuspecting, and quick to anger over nothing. And jackasses like me.

GW was made for its products, true. It's just always been a pet peeve of mine that I could never find good art or fics for 1x4x1 or 2x4x2 because of the washout by 1x2x1 and 3x4x3. I've long since accepted the fact that people are smart, humans are stupid, and thirteen-year-olds will overtake almost anything decent that a fandom could possibly offer.

Site for 2x4x2, run by two people who are both great writers and still write GW:

Still more pics for OP since we are arguing in her thread. Many apologies.

Thanks. Arguing, much like shit, happens... they're basically one in the same.

I heard an interesting rumor that part of the animosity against GW was that one of the artists married a 2x1 DJ artist and supported it (and did occasional covers). Pic related.
>> Llyander
>>390662
Now that's interesting. And it would explain the official art with the two of them in closer contact than one would expect from a shounen series at the time (keep in mind that this was '95- pandering to females was far less obvious in mainstream series than now, citing Naruto and Seed as examples). I mean, if you look at it, you see them as a group with reasonable distances between each person, but in some official art, Duo and Heero are closer together than anyone else, and occaisionally Quatre and Trowa are somewhat cozy as well. (Another pairing I strongly dislike.) It didn't really make sense, but now, it might.

I find that very interesting... and kinda neat. I still prefer my 2x4, but I don't have anything against the 1x2x1 thing. People ship who they ship, even official people like that artist. There isn't much point getting upset over it...

I went back and read the LJ entry that mentioned it. I don't feel right copying it since it was a locked post, but it said the animator Hishinuma ended up marrying 2x1 DJ artist Midori Saiha (from circle Ringo Zaidan), and that another animator Yoko Kojyo used the name Yuuki Kamon in the 2x1 circles (or Yuukki was the real name? it was awkwardly worded response on that part).

Did you even read the essay you stole that pic from? They essentially state that, while not 'canon' no, 1x2 is one of the most plausible slash pairings.
>> Llyander
>>390722
lawl no im a troll i dont know shit

In all seriousness, it wasn't the essay I was interested in- it was the picture. I came across it by chance and agreed with what it said. The author's wrong if he/she thinks 1x2x1 is the most plausible pairing. Then again, it's hard to say much of anything, since the characters can't talk to us. But I stand firm that 1x2x1 makes very little sense at all, crazy and unlikeable as I may be.

I find it immensely interesting that a country that is obsessed with who puts it in whose pooper, the Japanese artists think the pseudo-Japanese guy is the uke.

Ha, you know, I bet the creators want us to argue. They make money when people argue, because then all their merchandise is sold with who likes what two characters together.

Probably sitting in their offices right now smoking going, "Ah, the fans are getting heated again, time to make our move." Then make two seperate things with two different people on it, so the fans buy it and go "See! This is official!! SEE!!!!!"

It's all just a marketing scam. Nartou does, Clamp does it, Square Enix does it, Fruits Basket does it, you know what? Everyone does. No need to argue, it's just what you see and nothing more.

Opinions are opinions. At least we can usually all agree that we weren't happy with the silly het they tried to push on us. ...At least the fandom can make things interesting.

...Have you had your daily crack?

XD Anyway, here's some more. Because I do love this pairing however, am willing to try and believe others. Just give me a decent argument, and I'll usually see it and do something for the fandom. (That is my purposal. Make me an offer of intellect. XD)
