Ugh, the fanservicey Yoko art and figurines creep me out so much. D: Why you gotta hurt us like this, Gainax? But she's so freaking awesome post-timeskip that I partly forgive them. I think we don't really need to feel guilty about liking her/the series, so long as we acknowledge the sexism instead of pretending it doesn't exist.
Kamina/Yoko vs. Kittan/Yoko is a preference thing, really. Epic adorable first love that never gets the chance to be more vs. belated partners who never get the chance to be more. Poor, poor Yoko. D: I only get cranky when fans insist that Kittan/Yoko was entirely one-sided on Kittan's part.
The different reactions to Kamina and Nia only goes to show that the sexism in TTGL itself breeds more sexism in the fandom. :/ That said, I think Nia catches less flak than she once did because she died, and the haters don't have to deal with the intolerable horror of Simon and Nia living happily ever after. XD
Like I said, I'm just...going to hang out in the Simon/Nia corner of fandom, ♥_♥ over their OTPness, and look at beautiful Japanese fanart.
And yeah, I spent most of the last episode going WTF THEY ARE THROWING GALAXIES. That is hilariously, ridiculously epic and I love it. XD
