Gundam fans always hate the boobies

I'm starting to think I'm the only person left watching Gundam 00 who likes Nena.


Yeah, she killed innocent people and caused a serious injury to a character half the fandom doesn't like (I do like Louise too, btw, I never understood fans hating her either).

So what?

Plenty of characters in other series have killed innocent people and they're still massively loved. Look at the Harry Potter fandom and Snape; the Final Fantasy VII fandom and Sephiroth; the TB/X fandom and the Dragons of Earth; the Bleach fandom and too many characters to name; the FMA fandom and Envy; the Kingdom Heart fandom and Organization XIII; the RG Veda fandom and Taishakuten; the D.Gray-man fandom and the Noahs; and there are so many other examples.

If you don't like Nena and hate other psychopath characters, I get that. But when you hate Nena and think Sephiroth/Envy/Seishirou/Snape is the best character ever created then I'm start going to question the real reason why you hate her.

I think it's because we don't know anything about them at this point. We don't know why she's completely batshit. Right now all we know is that she blew up a wedding full of innocent people because she felt like it. I'm pretty sure that at least some of those characters you listed have had a backstory explained that puts their insanity into perspective. I don't think it's really fair at this point to say people at this point dislike her because she has breasts, since I'm hating all of Trinity equally at this point because they kill innocent people.

If it wasn't for the fact that plenty of fans hated her before the wedding incident I wouldn't think it had to do with the fact she's female. But before she even appeared in the series I saw some fans hating her based solely on pictures because she looks like Flay from GS (now there's a female too hate!) despite the fact that the two act nothing alike.

Plus the Gundam fandom has a long history of hating females for no reason.

Hm, the only hate I saw for her prior to the wedding incident was because she "stole Setsuna's first kiss homgggg!!1 it should be saved for Marina!!wnakjdn!!"

Lulz.

Haha, I don't even mind Setsuna/Marina because I think the age difference could make it a really interesting dynamic, but... yeah... fanbrats are stupid :')
