I mean I'm not going to go out of my way to pollute, and I like breathing clean air and to not have heat waves all year, so I guess? Gundam didn't really change that, I just liked the cool robots.
See, UC Gundam completely breaks this theme by portraying those who live on Earth as either : the super-rich living in gated mansions or refugees and homesteaders living in fear of constant random attacks and invasions from space. Meanwhile the colonies all seem to be leafy middle-class neighborhoods where even the dumpster divers like Judau seem to get along alrigh. Basically outer space in Gundam just seems to be richer, safer and less prone to authoritarian government than Earth, which kind of undermines the whole "Earth is sacred!!" shtick for me. (That, and the whole thing reminds me unpleasantly of the Terra-ists from LOGH). Frick the earth, I want my mentally deranged cybernewtype/e-girl waifu in a nice air-conditioned colony thanks very much
It's more or less argues against the reasons of moving to space to escape earthly problems, when said problems can simply follow you regardless of where you go; which is why you should simply have to solve them here and now or it'll grow beyond comprehension.

No, watching Captain Planet is what made me an environmentalist.
Think of it this way, if all the cities are flattened along with the people in them, there's nothing left to mismanage and no people to pollute the Earth.
yeah, sort of, but I probably would have still become one even if I didn't begin my journey with Gundam
frick the earth, let's get out of here

We did anon, that's why it's going to be too hot to live on soon.
>needing cartoons to develop a sense of morality and common sense
All morality is psychological operations

I buy more plastic, so no.
Earth Federation is super Brazil.
No, Teddy Roosevelt did.
It made me hardline Zeon nationalist.

Space radiation and oxygen deprivation makes people dumb.

I wasn't expecting Mechander Robo to environmentalist pill me.
