The Gundam novels are a great way to really dive more into the politics and mindset of the characters, more so than the anime ever could. For example, you learn about Amuro’s BDSM fetish caused by his lack of maternal figure

...Self-sufficiency? ..Independence? He had an interest in machines, but he didn't
think he had it in him to patiently develop tools. At Amuro's young age, a boy's dreams
didn't convert into reality, and he hadn't matured to the point where he was setting goals for his life.
I must have a grudge against women in general...since I was the child of a
mother like that... Amuro was able to acquire such an audacious understanding of
himself after learning words like "mother complex," and as he masturbated he started to find that he was aroused by not only normal pornography but BDSM as well. I want to
reject female genitalia...even though I like looking at them so much. He was even able
to come up with the theory that his desire to enjoy the erotic, when combined with the
urge to forget such impulses, resulted in a new desire to destroy women's bodies.
However, he was also concerned it might be a dangerous sign that a regular naked woman wasn't enough to sexually arouse him. This was why he absolutely did not
want Fraw Bow, a healthy and wholesome girl, to catch wind of his fetishes. So, he
remained very aware that he needed to keep presenting himself as a normal boy to her.
However, he hadn't figured out the important question of how exactly he was supposed
to do that, which only made him more frustrated.

It is not the only time in this book where Amuro brings up apartheid

"Roger that."
Amuro sighed, looking up at the ceiling.
"That's all. You can go now."
"Stay well!"
"You too! And watch out for Char's moves."
"Ignorant as always," Amuro thought, resisting the urge to punch him.
Those at the top of the hierarchy, detached from reality, arrogantly wielded words as their sole tools of influence. This sham of an absolute democratic system, like the Nomenklatura class born from the hypocrisy of communism or the apartheid of the South African Federation, engineered a society deeply divided into stratified classes. Fear of falling from their risen status silently fortified this class system, identical in the world of economics.
The tragedy of modernity lies in the increasingly sophisticated structure of society, which now invents ideologies and manipulates scientific data to perpetuate its class system.
As the Space Age advanced, its reliance on a scientific-technological foundation intensified, spawning a new breed of politician-scientists. Their specialized biases and narrow perspectives further contributed to political turmoil.
Yet, humanity still struggles to find an ideology to sublate these elements.

Remembering that time in the Char’s Counterattack novel when Amuro brings up apartheid in South Africa

Von Braun City, facing Earth, was visible from tens of thousands of meters above as a city of light, its artificial glow forming a stunning band against the moon's faintly blue-tinged gray surface.
"Lieutenant! Hey, Amuro?"
"Ah….. what?"
Chan gazed out at the sprawling lunar city, her voice tinged with wonder.
"Do you think people in the past ever dreamed of building cities on the Moon like this?"
"Probably not. The first human step on the Moon was in the old 20th century, right? Back then, Earth wasn't as polluted, and people believed humanity could live there until the sun died out. It was a time when white madams still employed black maids."
"Don't be so absurd! That was more of a 19th-century thing, wasn't it?"
"Unfortunately, no. Even in the late 20th-century, apartheid was a reality, and Africa still struggled with racial discrimination, albeit different from slavery."
"Really?"
"I was born on Earth. Even as a soldier, I was confined to the American
continent. Trust me, I've studied Earth's history more than you."
"Hmm, really?"
Amuro's tone turned somber.
"In South Africa, 80% of the black population was squeezed into 14% of the land, while the 20% white population controlled 86%. The numbers might be off, but the disparity is staggering, isn't it?"
"It's hard to believe."
"Yeah, but there's more. There were instances where the masters wouldn't even hold their own children, leaving them to maids to raise, while they indulged in romantic escapades. Yet, they'd get angry and despair over their children not loving them, wondering why they didn't."
"I don't understand. If parents don't embrace their children, how can a parent-child relationship exist?"
"I've never raised a child, but I agree. Yet, in a problematic social system that becomes the norm, people start believing it's just, and changing it takes time. In a legal state, you have to follow even the bad laws."
"Such a ridiculous notion!"
"Isn't it the same in the current Earth Sphere?”

When I look at the kiss at the end of the series, I’m not thinking “wow, so this is the endgame ship,” but rather that the point of the scene is that it’s the first time Shuji sees humanity, when he embraces love instead of obsession, the Newtype ideal of being connected to one another in harmony

A GQuuuuuuX opinion: I personally don’t care that we didn’t get a definitive answer for who/what Shuji is because his narrative role is clear: a vessel to project Newtype ideals onto but in the end, a reinforcement of the false belief that the secret to peace for Newtypes is continuous violence

There’s a long, 30+ page interview between Hideaki Anno and Yoshiyuki Tomino theoretically about Char’s Counterattack that goes off the rails into so many places. It’s mainly either Anno gushing about how much he loves Gundam to a self critical Tomino, or Tomino going off about wild stuff like this

Men were responsible for it, but to what extent did that make women happier?
Even if they were able to wear more beautiful clothes, or buy up acres and acres of farmland, those aren't things they'd be happy or unhappy about. The thing that they'd be thinking about was how living in the middle of 200,000 square feet of land would slightly lessen the chances of other men targeting them. So men take women's ability to bear children for granted, especially when it comes to modern society, but I think the male dominance of feudal society was terrible, enforcing the rights of a patriarchal society, where the man was free to divorce the woman if she couldn't produce an heir due to infertility or something. The reason the men wouldn't give up any ground to the women, as they continued to enforce these rights, was because they were thinking, "It can't be helped, someone has to be the one to give birth," and this continued on, even through the three hundred years of the Tokugawa period. What was the point of all of that?
If anything, I think that the fact that men torment women as a part of everyday life shows that the power dynamics tied to our issues as an animal species can never be overcome, and even though the women can be forced to submit through brute strength, what we see is just a reaction on their part; it doesn't fundamentally threaten their position of sovereignty. Because they go, "We're the ones giving birth," and after they do, when it comes time to feed the babies, it's "We're the ones who are feeding them."
Like I see the signs of that during S&M play. Otherwise the woman wouldn't be going
"Aah! Aah! Aah!" as much as she does. Because ultimately, you would resist when you really were being degraded or your life was in danger. For the times when things aren't going that far, if you asked me what makes S&M possible, I'd say it's because of an unshakeable belief that "their sovereignty will absolutely not be threatened." Otherwise she wouldn't spread her legs

that wide. That's why men aren't able to go that far, you see. "Mistress, please let me eat your shit." Think about saying that, that's about as far as you can go in terms of being humiliated. So when she says, "I'm gonna wring out your dick!", how much do you have to cry and moan (also gesturing here) in order to please her? I'm not confident!

Anno: Yeah, I wouldn't know (laughs).

All: (Laughing)

Tomino: I'm not completely sure either, not that confident. That's why it's so disagreeable when the ones who are categorically weaker are being persecuted, right?
Isn't that why we speak up so loudly about the rights of the vulnerable, especially when it comes to the welfare of the disabled? You'll be denounced for showing the slightest bit of disdain. In other words, it's not the kind of thing you can do for pleasure.
The guarantee of unshakable sovereignty is what makes S&M possible. In other words, it's because you're there in the flesh. If you weren't, the other person would never allow you to do those kinds of risky acts, even as part of adult work. If you were really vulnerable, you'd never say, "I'm selling this video so I can get through the year."
The truth is that I understand it very well. There's parts I don't understand, but l've thought about why everyone does that sort of thing. So, I have confidence about this.
Things like standing in front of the camera saying "That's good," getting tied up, saying
"You're enjoying this too, aren't you?"
.....Sorry. I ended up talking about something completely different.
These sorts of things aren't off the record, not at all. It's not like it's going to harm my reputation, as far as tone is concerned.

Anno: Yeah.

That's the only thing he says to him: he explains his plan on how to destroy Solomon, only to let Solomon fall instead. This small element of the writing, present in the prologue, wouldn't have been relevant considering Kycilia's own plan without Challia discovering Char's. (2/2)

(spoilers) On Char, Challia, Solomon and Nihilism: Challia attacking Char was fated and foreshadowed when this happened. The trick is that Char didn't tell his intentions to Challia, which was already a betrayal in itself. This HAD to be answered in the rest of the show. (1/2)

Its acceptance of internal contradictions and acceptance of negatives are too heavy I think for its thematic points to stand, unintentionally ending up saying that to have your life destroyed by nostalgia can be a happy ending, no matter the abuse, so long as you still have nostalgia to seek out.

But then in the end it had her escape the brothel on her own AND had the man come and find her in a way that her visions had said wouldnt happen (after she left the brothel). AND it on a real level, hired toru furuya, a man who physically and sexually abused a partner through her nostalgia for him.

I think GQUX may kinda be better understood to be like. a sort of adaptation of Gihren’s Greed, both in terms of the material of those games (with multiple possible endings and stuff) and the game-mechanic concept (the idea of taking an existing story and getting alternate endings over and over)

one big critique of GQUX that I don’t agree with is the idea that it’s nostalgiaslop for nostalgiaslop’s sake. I think it was trying to do meta, and stuff like making characters repeat each others’ poses and fates and stuff was mobilized on purpose for more than just pogging at. & that interests me!
