Tank895 said: The decision to change Earthnoid and Spacenoid to Earthian and Spacian. Every time they say it it’s like nails on a chalkboard. New terminology for newer fans to the franchise I guess. |

| My only criticism is the dangerous duels. I am fine with the new terminologies but I will continue to use the old terminologies because of habit. |
| The terminology is bound to be different, because Mobile Suit Gundam: the witch from Mercury takes place in an alternate universe. Earthnoid and Spacenoid are strictly used in U.C. Someone can correct me if I am wrong, however the terms Earthnoid and Spacenoid pretty much don't exist in AU works. It would be a bit of a stretch for all universes to use the same terminology. Edit: In this same manner Newtypes is term that doesn't exist in Gundam AU's, however there are similar terms like coordinators, innovators and so on. However I can understand how one could find different terms glaring at first. |

| Every alt universe has different terminology (Newtypes are called different things in every AU), and I think Earhian/Spacial sounds fine. Makes more sense linguistically, too. Earthnoid/Spacenoid sound like slurs. Doesn't bother me in the least, and that's coming from a big fan of classic UC. |
| Back in my day we just called them all Terrans. |

Yes, After War Gundam X did use the term NewType. Thank you for pointing this out. Funnily enough After War X also had a cyber newtype character. Funny how I forgot about this. |
| I prefer these tbh. Earthnoid and Spacenoid sound inspired by humanoids, which is technically a correct word but just makes me think of some incel talking proudly of how he owned some "foids" (aka female humanoids) or whatever. If you adress people by their species, it's pretty much always meant as a slur, and since the -oid ending is reserved for species talk, not "location you are from", it comes across that way. Meanwhile, we do already use words like Martian and Venusian to describe something being from a specific planet, so Earthian and Spacian following the same naming conventions just feels more fitting to me. Now, I can totally see someone like Chuchu WANTING to sound as insulting as possible, so for her it's probably a bit too tame to use a general term instead of a slur, but...yeah. |
