    rewatching gits:sac and i'd forgotten just how gender the major is. also how just textually queer she is, this woman fucks women and it isn't even that horny about it!

      Ayo??? niko-wonderous

      If I liked the 1995 GITS should I SAC? I had noooooo idea it had gays???

      Also being "not even that horny" about fucking women is just... susie-laugh

      EDIT: looked into it -

      This bit from Natopedia is kind of kiryu-pain

      In Ghost in the Shell, Kusanagi participates in a lesbian sex splash panel, involving Kurutan and Ran, and has a boyfriend. The unnamed boyfriend works for Section One, and they have been dating for seven months; to which Batou considers this "a new record". In Ghost in the Shell S.A.C. 2nd GIG, Episode 17 – "DI Mother and Child – RED DATA", having taken an adolescent male to a hotel after rescuing him from yakuza, both share the same bed for the night. The boy asks Motoko if cyborgs can still have sex, to which Motoko responds "You care to find out?"

      No Major, don't scared

      "I drew an all-girl orgy because I didn't want to draw some guy's butt."

      The cowardly Masamune Shirow shies away from masculine cheeks!!

        it's a cyberpunk police procedural about supercops, it seems like one where it knows they're kinda evil but not quite how much so. if that sounds like your jam it's incredible. has more action than the movie but still gets into the philosophy. and like, it's a horny show. her outfit is ridiculous and there are more ass shots than necessary, but when showing the aftermath of her having sex with 2 women it isn't leering or anything which surprised me

        spoiler

        don't remember that bit at ALL because i was like 14 when i watched it the first time and i think i didn't finish 2nd gig so might not have even gotten there. this is a rewatch and i am not that far yet, but damn that's gross. i can imagine it being less so in context? but i bet it's exactly as gross as it sounds, which sucks. though at least they don't go through with it. really liking season 1 so far though, and despite being horny it's firmly not gross about it

          Well it sounds pretty cool and I like GITS a lot, like that shit was rad. GITS also already had a slightly absurd amount of nudity in it too, so yaknow yea Doesn't sound terrible...

          Yeah I thought it was gross too =) keep me posted I guess, but I've been giving Innocence and SAC and the manga funny looks for a bit, 95 GITS was really good.

            5 episodes in i have no complaints so far. just a really good mix of episodic adventures and serial plotting that's bittersweet

            also if you haven't seen the show you don't know the tachikomas! the tachikomas are the best, what if section 9 had a bunch of little spider tanks who were all robot children learning about the world? the answer is i love them dearly and would die for them

      Manga motoko is still my favourite iteration. much more a product of the 80s, she gets trashed, she fucks around, she plays pranks.

        i just do not vibe with shirow's art. sac is a good middle ground, she has fun, she fucks, she drinks, but she's still pretty serious. though i do love the movie just being completely sober and philosophical in tone the whole time

      Watching gits:sac led to one of my earliest transy thoughts once i learned that the major got a cybernetic body at a young age and replaced it as she grew older.

        haha definitely can't relate. if you read fanfiction (or are open to it) i liked this one where she's trans and it goes through her life and bits of the show through that lens

          Wow, that was... wonderful. Thank you for the recommendation, genuinely.

          It's always fun seeing things that closely echo my own internal dialogues as well as headcanons.

            really glad it hit for you like it did for me. the major is really good, all her slightly awkward coming out bits are great. the scene at the end with togusa's family...
