#shrimpteresting to me how g witch's horrific politics and dissapointing yuri industrial complex stem from the same root#a shiny facade but ultimately never challenging the status quo#ig thats why prospera's character doesnt work as is#suletta's personal arc (and ericht's if she had one) is supposed to be reclaiming personal agency n standing up against child abuse#but the message of the series is ultimately 'you're not evil if you're trying to improve' so any realistic moral complexity cant be present#and a char without antiheroism is an angel without wings!#gwitch also made the mistake of having commonalities w CCA without any political legs to stand on (heh)#specifically the idea of 'turning children into weapons' wrt to quess (metaphorically) and ericht (literally)#because CCA is using intercharacter drama as the medium for political statement its free to do intense earnest shit#like criticising militaries and their recruitment by comparing it to CSA--a real thing that exists beyond fictional cockpits#its intense but not unwarranted as its relevant to military and political power irl--it'd be inaccurate to NOT address it#whereas prospera's warcrimes are cartoonish death star shit with no direct real world equivalents (unless we invent idk evil bluetooth)#since actual abuse (or ericht having traits lol) undermines bandai namcos ability to merchandise their (doubly!) objectified characters#anyways i think its acceptable for gay women to not kiss ONLY if they fight to the death in space. its equality. its emma and reccoa.#abs blabs
