@Kyou Feels like just yesterday it came out and it was all anyone would talk about online for a while

@bitterblossom The only way a mech could work I guess is if it was indestructible with modern weapons, and it has to have yet unknown powerplants to move. And probably yet unknown metals or fibers for the body.

@bitterblossom All true but what about shock and awe? A mech has attributes that trigger primal fear in man, it's the shape of a person so it freaks people out.

Thought experiment:
You're a slave, your masters give you a woman and tell you to rape her. She doesn't want to be raped obviously. They say if you don't rape her they will rape her brutally, she'd probably die most painfully and curse you for not just raping her.

Would you rape her?

@bitterblossom What if new lighter and stronger materials were a thing, like birds bones, make the mech light but strong. It just seems so silly to me that all we have are boxes that roll around, or boxes that fly, where's the tentacles and bioforms?

@shrimp @get Mine did too but families are big, not everyone could come probably, cousins or others would be left behind, or other branches of the family wouldn't want to go or couldn't afford to

People who say mechs are useless irl so not understand the point of the mech, instead of being modulalor, think of it as being hypermodular. Yes it is cumbersome and treds and crawling machines are faster and more stable, but there are still benefits to the human form. Having two massive claws that you can pick things up with, including complex tools, now imagine vehicles for the mechs, completely eliminating any worries about crawling vs upright. Now think of the mech suit not as a vehicle itself but as an exoskeleton, except instead of a small exo it is a LARGE exo. See the use yet?

@get I had german ancestry so I wonder if some of my great uncles or whatnot were nazis

@bitterblossom then they'll kidnap us and put us in their perverted gangster mansion where they'll rape us every day between meals and naps on comfy beds :cry_konata:

@bitterblossom Same, at that point we're the victims, It would be traumatic for us but we would soldier on
