    I am only peripherally aware of any Gundam product, but, uh, that seems untenable.

    valenstyne Went out for cigarettes, never came back

    Yup. No explanation was given for why a giant robot (which isn't even canonically sentient—this isn't Evangelion) would want to have babies with a human anyway even if it could, or if the kids would come out half-human and half-mecha, or, well, anything really. I've never known another fanfic writer to so consistently operate by dream logic.

    I mean okay I admit Deathscythe Hell is one sexy giant robot, but the story as I recall wasn't even really explicit enough to be kinky fap material…

    ...If you imagine it as a fleshed-out transcription of a dream, does that make it stop coming across as terrible?

    Huh, that's a good question. I think it would mostly make me wish a person from Porlock had woken the author up.

    I see what YOIBF means about how they read bad a/b/o because it's even funnier than other bad fanfic.

    i think purring is cute, but yeah, it does also seem to be an arbitrary choice. like, there's nothing about the a/b/o system itself that would necessitate purring.

    ... Okaaay, author, you appear to have figured out that what was going on earlier in the story is pretty damn not okay, you wanna change that "No archive warnings apply" tag to "Rape/non-con" now? Or at least change it to "Author chose not to use warnings?"
    People who have just been punched in the testicles so hard that they vomited on the floor don't want tea.

    Was it Revolutionary War-era Hetalia? I think I remember one with "forced tea-drinking" as a warning somewhere.

    Yes, the tea was metaphorical. There wasn't actually any tea involved, guys. Sorry if I got your hopes up, @Aondeug .

    Uh-huh, sure, they're "just establishing dominance" and it's "normal for their society" cool motive still rape tag your shit.

    I mean yeah, pretty much.
    Not necessarily in all cases, and of course legal definitions change depending on jurisdiction. I'd personally say any sex that at least one involved party does not want to be happening counts enough for tagging, regardless of the perpetrator's motivation, or how "right"/"normal" the act is supposed to be according to the society being depicted.

    But yeah, rape is often more about domination than sexual attraction.
