Am I the only one that hates the word "mecha" and just prefer basic ass term "robot"? I know japs sometimes call their mecha cartoons "robot anime".

autism

yes i am retarded

>>21647206 (OP)

We call them Jboids (Japanese battle droids)

>>21647206 (OP)

Just call them whatever you like. 'mecha' is a catch-all term that just works better than saying "Big robots that are retarded by design but look sick as fuck everywhere else"

You are retarded by birth.

>>21647206 (OP)

If you're not calling them αὐτόματον you're doing it wrong

>>21647206 (OP)

to me robot implies it is self controlled, it doesn't need a pilot

when people talk about robotization in terms of jobs, it usually means that it is done by robots and unmanned so maybe that's why I assume robot = no pilot

it's pronounced "metch".

Manual control mecha controls are surely automatised/robotized in 99.9% of cases to make them usable for humans

>>21647206 (OP)

Robot comes from slav word "robota" which literally means "a work" so it counts literally every machine the does something according to your instructions, including everything from washing machine to those giant factory workstations that assemble them. Mecha's just more specific.

That's like saying videogames are automatized.

Also, "japs" used to call anime "televi manga" before Yamato so I won't be putting their word as a given fact

>>21647206 (OP)

I use mech, and robot interchangeably nowadays. I've long given up being pedantic. It doesn't do me or what I'm talking about any favors to use language as a purity test.

>before Yamato

What changed?

>>21647206 (OP)

Robots are autonomous you inbred. Of all the dumb things you chose to be autistic about you chose the dumbest because you're not only autistic you're illiterate.

It’s always been pronounced as metch in my group.

that's mashugana

I call them Machina.

I smell an Al Bhed

From wiki, so take it as you will:

>Prior to the release of Yamato in 1974, anime was called terebi manga (TV manga). The success of Yamato, both because of its tone and themes that were ambitious for an anime at that time, and the fact it was an original work, made it influential in the move towards the term anime.[56]

How many times do we have to teach you dis lesson, brudda?
