>>17067060Even if you agree with this sort of interpretation you should recognize that it is an interpretation at best and in no way established in the series itself.
Don't turn a blind eye to what Fukui is doing because you happen to agree with him. He is trying to impose his own reading of Tomino's work and he is trying to appropriate it. Here for example here is is using one of the most basic tricks of trying to gain credibility by using one of Tomino's established characters as a mouth piece. His writing style is also incredibly dishonest constantly passing implicit judgement in the guise of stating "facts".
In addition what offends me further is that Fukui is supposedly and avid Tomino fanboy that is acquainted with his work in depth. While Tomino's can't have a single straightforward reading there are after all things that are just true and things that are just not true.
First if you've at least watched some of Tomino's non UC work it should immediately become obvious for you that Tomino has very specific thematic interests and outlook and that UC is just another expression of those. Most people here are ready to just jump on the most generic interpretation of his UC work without even trying to understand his underlying ideas. If you are an average /m/ poster I can understand not caring about things like that but what is Fukui's excuse?
Second, I you read Tomino's novelizations a lot of things that are not clear in the series of his UC works factual content about the setting and the characters, character's thoughts, feelings, beliefs, intents, overt thematic discussion etc. are much more noticeable and harder to ignore. So what is Fukui's excuse for ignoring them or being selectively blind to them at best?
