>>13417020Lets look at Canada's Gundam, the Grizzly Gundam or Lumber Gundam if you're a jap.
Now it's true that there's bears in canada, there's bears in a lot of places. There's also a lot of Lumber Jacks. Are we just going to deny that these are aspects of canadian culture we recognize?
Then you have the pilot, who's given an extremely sympathetic backstory that doesn't fall in line any Canadian stereotypes.
It's just emphasising aspects of a culture so that we can quickly recognize who's fighting who, before getting into backstory.
Hell the pilot of the Tequila Gundam didn't drink at all, and definitely doesn't fit the lazy mexican stereotype.
