i feel like an asshole saying this, but this guy seems confused by the concept of fiction. people have literally always made fiction about cool fighters who could singlehandedly change the courses of war. like, that's gilgamesh. that's the illiad. it's not unique to mecha. this is like that guy who posted "john wick is a bad movie because keanu reeves could not actually kill all those guys," i don't think this is an interesting critique
also i don't know if this is just me, but bringing up the antisemitic shit tomino said and then immediately saying "this is a specifically japanese mentality" about thinking it's cool when the main character fights guys in ways that matter and affect the plot has bad vibes to me
