I actually enjoy critiquing things, as everyone knows, but I just think it's kinda sad that there are shows out there with genuine crippling problems that people ignore, yet people have put in so much effort critiquing something like this which just doesn't need it.

And I mean, I bet as soon as Gaim starts, if someone says a single bad thing about it they'll be pounced on like raw meat in the lion cage.

The issue stems from the two parter being justified as "It's just for fun!", but the simple realization of "What if someone didn't have fun watching it?" Why are they suddenly written off when the justification of the special is invalidated by their opinion? Why is it suddenly put up or shut up when it comes down to the 44 minutes someone who didn't enjoy it may have wasted watching it?
Fun is not objective.

Additionally, you call mediocre mech design a crippling problem, so it's not people ignoring crippling issues, it's that you're holding a series to an oddly high standard for strangely petty reasons when it seems to receive any sort of praise vs how lenient you are towards a series generally decried as "Bad" despite having crippling issues of it's own.

And that's unlikely, considering the main writer is relatively unpopular and opinions have tended to be split with the current series. I don't think Gaim would be any different.
