Tech Bro Brags About Building a 50-Foot 'Gundam Rogue Orbit' in His Backyard, HOA Loses Its Collective Mind, AITA?
TL;DR: My neighbor Eric spent his entire 401(k) on a fully functional, laser-toting Gundam Rogue Orbit replica that now looms over our subdivision like a depressed metal god. HOA sent him a cease-and-desist for "violating aesthetic harmony," so he activated the thing and literally stomped on the president's Prius. Cops got called, Eric's claiming it's 'art,' and now the whole town is divided between "free the mech" and "NIMBY." AITA for secretly filming the whole thing for my TikTok monetization? Also, he won't let anyone pilot it, which is just *peak* gatekeeping.
