Le Guin really points out how this thinking in a colonial lens purposely uplifts women in ways that still tethers them to an innate ā€œnurturing/maternalā€ role It’s a back-handed compliment, as women are recognized as masters of nature but purposely locked out of anything greater
While it’s true some people dismiss astrology on misogynist grounds, I’m afraid that Le Guin said it best.

I also specify colonial attitudes because it is possible to have a connection between gender and environment that isn’t inherently segregated or cut into the inferior/superior dichotomy, but under colonialism it very much is.

Colonial attitudes value extraction and conquest, which inevitably makes the connection a tool of misogyny by saying men alone build colonialism. Instead, women are associated with ideas like ā€œterra nulliusā€ and positioned as domains to be conquered.

He also doesn't wear the Holder's colors because he knew Suletta was the last legitimate one given that their penultimate duel was rigged.

This is another really understated part I love. Shaddiq is constantly talking up his own love for Miorine but repeatedly does things that will hurt her, believing it’s for her own good. He ends up looking more like Delling while Guel actually puts his growth into action.

It also serves as a contrast to Shaddiq who believed he was the white knight that was going to overthrow the Benerit Group with Miorine at his side but was too self-centered to realize he was only digging himself deeper.

The best thing Shaddiq does for Miorine and Suletta is taking the fall for QZ. And even then you could argue it’s beneficial to him if he becomes a martyr for Earthians. He’s all talk and it shatters the second he’s expected to act on it.

The thing that gets me about people denying SuleMio and trying to push Guel onto one of the girls is that Guel doesn’t even want that. This is how he reacts when Suletta says ā€œI have someone precious to meā€ in response to his confession. He just goes ā€œoh okay I understandā€

Also while I love the last duel, this scene is another great moment. Guel objects to Suletta piloting the Calibarn, Suletta says it’s her choice, Miorine stands with Suletta, and he realizes it’s not his place to decide. A small moment showing what he’s learning.

Said it before but it’s why I hesitate to call the people pushing Guel his ā€œfansā€ They throw away his entire arc and the part where he goes from childish tantrums to taking defeat and rejection with maturity. They don’t like him, he’s just a tool they use to yell about SuleMio.

Finally finished the MG Advanced Hazel I got for my birthday. 10/10 on everything, probably one of my absolute favourite Gundam designs. Not posing just yet because decals are drying, plus I’m gonna build up an action base for this one.

Every time I hear some stupid variation of ā€œmen are gonna vote in a vile pos if you mock them/don’t like their jokes/make them feel shame for acting shittyā€ all I can think is how pathetic those men sound. Feelings got hurt and so you voted against someone’s rights? Really?

Genuine skill issue if getting the smallest bit of pushback for shitty behaviour causes you to threaten women, POC, queer people, etc with a vote to strip away their humanity and their rights. Pretending otherwise is just coddling the losers.

RG Zeta done and yeah I understand the complaints now. I think some people do exaggerate but it really feels held back by how thin and fragile the inner frame is. Nothing feels good to move outside of the limbs and I always worry something’s gonna pop out of place.

I love the decals, especially the amount of gold accents. Definitely a strong point. I’d say the weakest point is that there’s few areas to hold onto when assembling. Trying to add the back waverider pieces was annoying because the chest is very hollow and easily pops open.

Also the chest not being able to lock open is a bit annoying, the waist seems to keep sliding inwards. And a small gripe, but needing an action base 2 for the adapter feels like they threw in one last joke to builders.
