"The Clothing Problem in Space Life" Gundam GQuuuuuuX Character Discussion How can people still wear skirts in a society with unstable gravity?

After the recent release of the new game "Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX" in the Gundam series, it immediately aroused enthusiastic responses from netizens because everything from the production team to the machine, characters and background settings exceeded everyone's imagination. Since two girls wearing skirts have appeared among the currently announced protagonists, Japanese netizens have begun to discuss why in a world where humans have already moved to space in large numbers, do people still wear skirts? After all, the gravity of the space colony is either smaller than that of the earth, or it is less stable, or it may be gravity-free in some places. Wouldn't it be inconvenient to wear a skirt?

"I have talked about this before when I looked at a world where flying magic is common. Now that I look at the society of space colonies, I also feel that this kind of life under low gravity every day, the skirt culture should soon disappear, right? "

This Japanese netizen with the nickname "インクエッジ" recently expressed his views on the character design of the just-released new Gundam series "Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX"...

According to the currently released information about "Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX", the story stage should take place in a cylindrical space colony common in the Gundam series. Although such space colonies have artificial gravity simulated by rotation, they are usually not as powerful and stable as those on Earth. Moreover, when moving within or between colonies, you often need to pass through areas with low gravity or even no gravity.

This makes "インクエッジ" very curious, why are there two girls in skirts among the protagonist group? Living in a world with unstable gravity, shouldn't skirt culture disappear?

Among the characters announced so far, there are two girls wearing skirts.

In the main visual, you can also see a girl wearing a skirt.

This topic immediately aroused enthusiastic responses from Japanese netizens. Everyone put forward analyzes from various angles, trying to explain the phenomenon of people still wearing skirts in space!

The reaction of Japanese netizens is...

"That makes sense."

"Perhaps it's because skirts flow freely in a weightless state, and people think they're cute, so it triggered a big trend of wearing skirts and safety pants."

"Even in modern Japan, there are still a lot of female high school students who, even in the heavy snow in the middle of winter, still prioritize the pursuit of fashion, wearing bare feet and miniskirts. So I think some things cannot be based on functionality alone. Let's analyze. Cuteness is...justice!"

"Honestly, I feel the same~~ It's just like having to fight but having to expose your skin, or letting girls wear clothes that look like they're naked. I've been curious recently. I feel ashamed from the audience's point of view. Is it true that in anime Isn't there any shame in the world?"

"I don't think people will give up on the pursuit of fashion because of limited functionality. For example, if you can add steel wires to the clothes to fix them, or if they are designed to open beautifully in a gravity-free state, there should be products designed specifically for gravity-free clothes. Special fashion created by the environment. Even work clothes and sportswear will undergo changes in appearance while maintaining both safety and functionality."

"When I first looked at the uniforms of "The Witch from Mercury", I thought they chose that design because of the political correctness trend in recent years. Later, when I looked at them, I realized that they often move without gravity, and I realized It turns out that it was for practicality~~"

"I also thought about this issue a little bit when 'The Witch from Mercury' was released. I think skirts themselves may not disappear, but it will become a society where wearing pants is the norm."

"Maybe we will evolve into a society where we don't feel ashamed if we are seen under our skirts."

"Fashions don't need to be reasonable. If you want to keep up with the trend, you have to learn to be patient."

"What are you talking about? Of course you have to work hard to create artificial gravity just to wear a skirt."

"It would be interesting if in that world, 'wearing a skirt' was a status symbol equivalent to 'being able to live in a gravity environment.' It would be like those with low incomes being driven to a gravity-free zone in a colony. Anyway, this is an interesting entry point."

"Mr. Nagano Mamoru has come up with this design a long time ago. It is indeed Nagano Mamoru!! So respectable~~ (This is a costume and space suit for artificial life forms, and it has been designed for more than 10 years~~)"

"I personally think that in a society where there is air but low gravity or flying machines are common, people would dress like the Dora family in 'Castle in the Sky'."
