Has there ever been a guy more consistently friendzoned than Batou?

>>133830795
You.

Me.

And counting.

>>133830795
I never got the feeling that he was hitting on the Major, I think it was genuine concern.

>>133831260

Togusa was the only waifufag in the series. I never got any impression of romantic feelings between Batou and the Major, either.

Assuming you ever had a girl who friendzoned you. But, yes, he is the symbol of a poor cunt fucked over by a real selfish bitch

Alright real talk, is anyone else reminded of Mark from Classic Game Room when you hear Richard Epcar voice this guy?

>>133831423
I kind of get that. Weird that I never put that together though, considering he's reviewed GiTS games.

Well her regard for Batou is higher than for all the fuckboys/girls she used for sex.

>>133831423

Never thought so but I can see the resemblance now that you mention it.

The Autistic Major /does/ seem to have a lot of trouble connecting with people and expressing emotions.

Wasn't the major a dude before getting the chick body?

>>133832811
Nevermind. That was so wrong there's no way to pretend it wasn't stupid

>>133830795
Call this head cannon if you want, but I feel that the reason the Batou is the only person (in like the whole world) she hasn't slept with is because he's one of the few people she actually connects to on a more emotional level. Like how people tend to treat someone the actually care about differently than how they treat everyone else, even if the actual treatment seems counter-intuitive.

>>133835842
>>133832401
I tend to agree that the Major treats Batou as though she actually has respect for him, unlike the other men and women she uses for sex. It's a bit off to call her autistic, as well. If you had no human body or the hormones which provide a lot of emotion, you would probably be emotionally disconnected and numb, as well.

>It's a bit off to call her autistic
You have to admit that a lot of the behaviour patterns match.

>>133831382
Batou knows the Major is a robot, not a waifu

>>133836109
Right, and I'm not disagreeing that they do, just trying to point out that, in my opinion, those behaviors stem from something other than her brain makeup. It's wrong therefore to say she's "autistic," rather, the accurate way of stating it would be that she exhibits autistic behavior.

I could be totally wrong though, I just felt watching that those behaviors were her being disconnected from a sense of being human, which is understandable, and not true autism, which stems from the way the brain is wired.

>>133836205
>something other than her brain makeup
>she exhibits autistic behavior
What do you think defines an autistic person?

>>133836109
Being cut off from definitively human aspects for the majority of their life would probably make most people awkward. The Major is shown to be more than competent socially when the need arises anyways.

I remember he actually cried out "MOTOKO!!" in SAC when the Umibozu got her.

>>133831523
He's a man of subtleties and sentimentality.

Either that's an unusually small basset hound or Batou is like 8 feet tall. My room-mate's parents have a couple of bassets and they're way too big for anybody to pick up in their arms...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autism
>Weak central coherence theory hypothesizes that a limited ability to see the big picture underlies the central disturbance in autism. One strength of this theory is predicting special talents and peaks in performance in autistic people.[105] A related theory—enhanced perceptual functioning—focuses more on the superiority of locally oriented and perceptual operations in autistic individuals.[106] These theories map well from the underconnectivity theory of autism.

It's exhibited by a range of behaviors, and may have different severity, but can collectively be attributed to a pattern of neural networking, or a specific pattern in brain makeup, which effects the entire network.

She's selfish because she doesn't find him attractive?

>>133836276
Nah, doesn't beat him. Batou being friendzoned spands through a manga, series of films, a tv show, an ova and series of manga adaptations of these.

>>133831126
All of us.

>>133836873
Batou is fucking huge, everyone at Section 9 refers to him as "the big guy". Ever the Major is pretty big

>>133841947
I see what you're going for and I respect it

>>133836873
He's a big guy.

>>133831584
Honestly, she is so casual with sex that it would probably only cheapen their relationship. According to SAC Major, he's the only person she can truly trust in a personal way.

>>133839314
He might be getting somewhere at the end of SSS, but that's at the (apparent) end of a continuity so who the fuck knows.

What the fuck, man?
Couldn't they have at least given him a bland love interest or something?
