Gottlos

2025-09-23T09:18:02Z

Selinica: arguably an extremely important work that shows the ideas of mechsploitation have been around for a long time

Gottlos is not a mechsploitation story, but contains many elements and ideas that would become explored through transfeminine and kink lenses decades after publication. The original was published in November 1969.

== Plot ==
Gottlos follows the story of a remotely operated 'war mec' wherein the pilot has become so innately fused mentally with his machine that upon defeat in combat, he feels he has lost something fundamental.

Further information is lacking due to how hard the story is to find.

Mechsploitation

2025-09-23T09:15:01Z

Selinica:

Mechsploitation is a microgrenre of queer sci-fi horror and erotica. The genre is a subset of fiction that typically focuses on interpersonal stories with mechs serving as an element of the story instead of the primary focus as would be seen in classic mecha stories.

== History ==

=== Pre-History ===
Certain older science fiction works contain elements that are recognizable as part of modern mechsploitation stories. One example would be ''[[Gottlos]]''.

=== Pilot Posting ===
Pilot posting was short stories that would be written across one or more posts on microblogging platforms such as twitter. Pilot stories also appeared on tumblr and other blog platforms. Pilot stories evolved out of witch and combat doll stories on the same platforms.

=== Armored Core 6 ===
The Armored Core 6 trailer released on April 2023 and was met by the pilot and mech communities above with a belief of sexual subtext to the game.

=== WARHOUND ===
[[WARHOUND]] released in 2023 around the time of the Armored Core trailer. WARHOUND served to lay the groundwork for what is now typical of the genre. The most notable genre convention created by WARHOUND is the Handler/hound dynamic.

=== Post-WARHOUND ===
WARHOUND created the conventions and served to create the genre of mechsploitation as it currently exists. There are still many writers and works that are classified as mechsploitation that dispense with one or more of the conventions.

== Characteristics ==
Mechsploitation tends to reflect themes of abuse or trauma, often in the context of a form of Dominant/submissive relationship. Genre conventions include transfemme character(s), the use of Handler/hound to describe characters, the existence of mechs (typically named). The majority of the authors as of 2025 are transfemme individuals with many of the stories reflecting horror elements that specifically target a transfemme audience. Some analyses of the genre has identified one of the elements often used as transfemme-specific horror is feminization but at the cost of having to exist in an extremely masculine social role through force or coercion.

Stub-one analysis done by Kalliedora Rho to locate, one analysis of WARHOUND as queer erotica to locate.
