I think there's a lot of gross simplification in media from fans that any attraction is automatically sexual in nature. There's a book on writing from way back by CS Lewis (yes, the Narnia guy), called the Four Loves. Short version, the 'loves' include empathy and a familiar bond, Storge, friendship, and that bond, Philla, the obvious bond of sexuality, Eros, and unconditional love, which he described from a spiritual/religious perspective. The book goes on to note that there is a lot of confusion in media about how people confuse Eros, or the sexual love, with the others. Thus, the discouragement to use Storge between two men or two women in media because everyone has to assume they're gay. Which is bullshit.

Kill La Kill is a bit different, although it isn't as overt as Panty and Stocking, which was a statement about fanservice and the requirement of a lot of otaku for "purity in female" characters. Kill La Kill was more or less a blunt critique of people angry about fanservice. Also yeah, dude jerking out to another dude's skating routine...eh, disgusting. Although this explains why figure skaters IRL have a very macho posture to deflect the endless "You ghey" criticisms they get.

No, not really. Both are pretty shameless in how they attract the gaze of their respective gender targets.

It's not saying you can't like a show, just pointing out the dichotomy. Also I can say I like Keijo but think it's hella stupid. Because it is.

I would counter the plot and the appreciation on both ends is affecting by the sexual preference of the viewer.

Doesn't a guy literally orgasm watching a routine in one episode? That's pretty damn vulgar.

I wonder why. Probably the same reason I have absolutely no interest in Yuri on Ice.

Well Mortal Kombat was OK, but that outright stole its plot from Enter the Dragon, which is a classic.

The sad thing is by the very low standards of video game movies, the Angry Birds movie is among the best rated.

Well yeah, but people were hoping for that Western answer to Gurren Lagann or GaoGaiGar. Instead we got the worst CG this side of Believe in Santa, animation that looks like the rejected reels from The Magic School Bus 2149, and a super robot show more interested in making fan girls write shit (and I do mean SHIT) about them that has nothing to do with the damn robot. And jumping through endless hoops and threatening people demanding the ladies man be rewritten as a stereotypical flaming gay man. FUCK YOU! So...yeah, I wish we got a Daimos remake instead.

Move to Dumpster fire?

Please stop writing.

Their rudeness and threats against anyone who doesn't fall in line with their way of thinking is independent of the show itself. The show itself is subpar. The fans are crazy people. These are independent of each other.

It's not all bad. Too bad the new South Park game isn't till next year.

So...this movie sucks, doesn't it?

Look, you're under the assumption that I'm hating on people for liking shows. That's not the case. It never was the case (also I don't hate Sailor Moon, I just don't want it on Toonami. Big, big difference). It's just that this show was supposed to be something great, and it came out...less than great. The insane fandom is a separate problem. When someone says giant robot show, I'm assuming something like this: Or this: What we got...doesn't live up to that.

Well the growing consensus is that is well below par. Add that with insane fans, and it's just leading to the conclusion that cancellation is the best choice. The fans are not, and it's a disturbing trend. This isn't a gay figure skating anime, it's a super robot show. The "fans" are ruining it for everyone.

More like a show about how terrible the West is. But also terrorism.

Go to Tumblr, look up the stuff people are arguing with over this fandom, and try not to rage. Try to ignore the death threats towards actors or blatant disregard for stuff people said. Like when Jeremy Shada (dude who plays Lance) said Lance was straight and the fandom outright said he was an idiot. They're the idiots. Or the threats towards the guy playing Shiro. I wanted something closer to Dancouga or Daimos than Korra. Is that a crime?

Looks awful. Is Yuri selling for them? What about Keijo?

Well, the fans are psychotic. Look, I didn't want the series to fail. I didn't want the fandom to be a raging ball of insanity. I wanted a show that could be that sort of Western version of Dancouga or the Brave Series. But here we are.

No, just...no. The show is shit and the fans are insane.

This may be the worst super robot show in the past 10 years...so my hopes are minuscule. Terrible show, and terrible fans.

John Callahan, the creator of that show, was a quadrapalegic (died in 2010) and that animation is the result of a disabled guy drawing by holding a pen in two hands. FUNi actually tried releasing it on DVD a few years back before finding out the audience was nonexistent.
