I wonder what the reaction would have been had the purple been more on the vibrant/stronger side rather than the kind of matte/lilac colour. I'm thinking like Shinji's Eva01 in Evangelion (although even that could still be argued as being a bit on the feminine side). In the same vein, I wonder why purple and not red - the same red as their own logo.

But yeah, I'm with you - we still have a ways to go, but it's nice to see and hear things because called out, even for something that was only what, 15 years ago?
