dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in !the_dunk_tank@www.hexbear.net, it's a great comm.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

This is Gurren Lagan erasure, the manly combining just keeps getting more homoerotic as the series goes on and that's what makes it so good

[โ€“] TraschcanOfIdeology@hexbear.net 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Gurren Lagann is so horny that it's accidentally pan, imo.

It keeps ramping up the over the top macho action to the point where by the end of the series you don't even notice how ridiculous Yoko's bikini tops are anymore.

Just disappointed G-Witch ended up being mostly queerbaiting. That, and a big ol celebration of neoliberalism. It could've been so much better!

The ending was infuriating

I'm writing a gay mecha anime protagonist right now. It is not going well lol. shinji-screm

[โ€“] iridaniotter@hexbear.net 10 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (3 children)

Names please. Except G-Witch & Evangelion. I will be the judge of how gay these are...

[โ€“] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 10 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Top left: Neon Genesis Evangelion - most people would recommend it, I'd say watch Ideon and Victory Gundam first idk

Top Middle: Mobile Suit Gundam the Witch from Mercury - decent AU for Gundam, good starting point for the franchise (other than the original show) since it's the big new one

Top Right: Mobile Suit Gundam SEED - it's awful, don't watch unless you really really want to be a Gundam completionist

Bottom Left: Brave Bang Bravern - it's great!

Bottom Middle: Cross Ange - incredibly bad, but it's terrible in a The Room kinda way

Bottom Right: Mobile Suit Gundam Char's Counterattack - fantastic, but it's a sequel movie that has 143 episodes of anime homework to really understand (Mobile Suit Gundam, Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, and Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ). Amazing, must watch!

Gay rankings IMO: Bravern, CCA, WfM, Eva, Cross Ange (super queerbait on this one), SEED

[โ€“] iridaniotter@hexbear.net 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Thanks! Two gayer than WfM?! Wow!

[โ€“] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 4 points 4 months ago

Bravern is definitely gayer than WfM. I'll admit that Charmuro AMVs may have rotted my brain on that CCA call. Either way, if you liked WfM, you should try Mobile Suit Gundam -> Zeta Gundam -> ZZ -> CCA

[โ€“] pooh@hexbear.net 7 points 4 months ago

Bottom left is Brave Bang Bravern, which is extremely gay. Bottom middle is Cross Ange, which I'm not too familiar with. Top right is I think Mobile Suit Gundam SEED. Bottom right I have no idea.

[โ€“] barrbaric@hexbear.net 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Bottom left is Brave Bang Bravern!, ~~I think bottom right is Mobile Suit Gundam (1979) but don't quote me on that.~~

~~Top right MIGHT be Code Geass fanart?~~

Bottom right's scene is specifically from the Char's Counterattack movie, but all the core Universal Century Gundam shows have a lot of gay tension in them

[โ€“] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 9 points 4 months ago

SEED is probably the least gay of those, and that explains a lot tbh

I was wondering why among all this talk about gay mecha anime nobody had brought up the friends turned enemies turned lovers (in my head) of Code Geass

Shirley wouldn't consider banging Suzaku cheating.

[โ€“] ChestRockwell@hexbear.net 7 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

You forgot Gunbuster and Diebuster.

The kind of gay one and the gayer one

[โ€“] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 6 points 4 months ago

Aww, those two close friends in the bottom middle are so close that one is feeding the other like a mama bird.

[โ€“] theChariot@hexbear.net 6 points 4 months ago

Eureka Seven has a suspicious amount of rainbows

[โ€“] 2812481591@hexbear.net 5 points 4 months ago

Orga from iron blooded orphans was ace. everyone else is straight and poly except for one unrequitted gay love.

[โ€“] Spike@hexbear.net 5 points 4 months ago (2 children)

How many of these actually show a gay couple?

[โ€“] buckykat@hexbear.net 4 points 4 months ago

WfM shows them holding hands with their wedding rings on at the end but no kissing angery

Why are we not always mecha-posting? Why am I not always mecha-posting?
