It's a free-to-play mobile gacha game. Therefore, it is trash. That point simply cannot be argued. It's not up for debate. If you're here to debate that point, please don't even bother. All mobile games are trash. All free-to-play games are trash. All gacha games are trash. Again: there is no debate about that.

Having gotten that out of the way: why are so many people under the false impression that this SPECIFIC trash game is somehow more than trash?

Does it have particularly sexy anime girls? Particularly sexy anime prettyboys? Cool mechs or something? Does it very sadly contain core elements of gameplay that would be fun in a non-trash setting?

Help me out, here.

I don’t have to play any mobile F2P gacha games, in order to know that they’re trash.

This is confusing knowledge with bias.
It sounds more like you're prejudiced against such games so you assume they're all trash.

I'm prejudiced against gacha games in the same way that I'm prejudiced against slavery, murder, kidnapping, rape, etc. These are all things that are unethical and immoral. We SHOULD be prejudiced against things that are unethical and immoral. That's how being a good person works.
