  1. Why is the term 'symbolism' so hard to believe. Guld's memory is basically dream sequence. Look at the coloring of the animation and the speed of the footage (Looks like there's less cells) it's not meant to be a flash back of exact events but what currently happing in Guld's mind. The facts can still be fuzzy in Guld's memory. The mind may still be trying to protect itself. Guld doesn't need to see himself going further. The mirror could be a creation of his mind just confirming that was he doing the 'deed.' Mirrors have to be one of the most common clich'ed symbols.

    Next you people will be saying Hikaru really did have a magic bike.

  2. Well I thought it was a joke that was in really bad taste. I thought was best just to delete before people started to get offended. If you couldn't figure out that it's offensive nature got it delete yourself well then :rolleyes:

    Oh and besides it appeared to be mostly refering to Robotech so it didn't belong here anyways.

  3. Exactly. You can not trust the Guld's memory as fact. It's more symbolism than anything else. For all we know there wasn't even a mirror at the actual event but when the repress memory came out then mirror appeared in Guld's mind for the memory.

    Even though an actually rape isn't seen it's pretty much suggested. I think it would be pretty graphic to show a 5 minutes rape scene when a torn shirt tells you what likely happen.

  4. Exo:

    Use a translation program like Alta vista. You can make out most of it that way.

    And...

    "Moderator" sounds like they should be 'mediating in a peaceful manner' but a "Bouncer" has that allure of being A-holes if need be or when they want to be.

    Bouncers? Interesting of that would mean most of the people here are drunks taking a piss on the side of the bar. :p

    And Max...

    He's really trying to beat me as the mean mod. When we have to get tough it's not because of a choice (Okay maybe with me it is ;) ). We get tough when we have to. Anyone can say I moderate over here or the moderators over there don't act like this. Yeah they don't but MW is different animal all together. I also see members here joking about the quality of the membership on other boards. If there wasn't such a tough moderating presence here you will all have reason to joke about this one as well.

    I was or still was known a the mean one. I haven't changed at all. Max I think has become more like me! He didn't act like this at first but I'm guessing he had to adjust for the needs of the board.

  5. Gundam lame?

    Kawamori and friends thought Gundam was cool when they were in school. There was several things in Macross inspired by Gundam.

    20% of Gundam is not half bad. The stuff that seems to driving the pre-teens crazy tends to be the lame stuff.

  6. Ditto to what Azrael said.

    Also who here is called the mean mod anyways ;).

    ' Sorry' & and 'excuse me' are luxuries we don't always have time for (especially in time like this). I know people would like to see a reason why a topic of their's was closed but a lot of topics are being closed or moved and we have little time post anything but a something short and direct.

    When things are back to normal the other mods should be nice again. ;)

  7. A Reminder of one of the old regs

    Section: VIII State of Emergency

    There are a lot of rules but you will find that administration is pretty lenient. The administration is committed to keeping a well run and orderly forum. The goal is not to have the forums turn into a circus. They can be flexible with the rules. During a crisis such as the any announcement that would cause a temporary surge in posting the administration will may become strict. Don’t be surprised to see even topics even about Macross being deleted if there is too many up on the same subject.

    Get the idea? The Mods have escaped the mental ward and we can't find our pills. Until things are back together you may not like us mods. You will have to live with it for a bit.

    This topic will be deleted when things are under control.

    :ph34r:

  8. Yes I deleted your other polls and moved this one.

    The 'Reviews' are for 'Reviews' not for starting as many polls as you can asking others to give their opinion. As you can see I'm allowing one these polls to stay but in a more proper forum.

    General notice to others reading this:

    If you need to see what a review is look at a magazine. They are typically a well written short essay about your opinion on something. They are not

    "Hey do you think blank is cool?"

    "Yeah I dig blank!"

    If you want to casually talk about a macross game, movie or toy do so in the usual place don't use the review section.

  9. The Home Page forum was for Links to other Macross sites as well (It's old board heading).

    Your topic was mostly a 'link' topic. When you want to post a review. Post a review, you know a good long paragraph talking your opinion about 'blank'.

    A couple of sentence about your opinion is not a review and was about 10% of the content of the topic.
