That's cuz I actually like girls and feel a lot of fond nostalgia for the princesses even with as problematic as they are as characters. Because my love for characters doesn't stop at white dudes.

Also I even came up with a tragic backstory for Goofy wanting to become a Jaeger pilot. His wife and son were killed in a Kaiju attack and he wanted to initially be a pilot, but a lot like Neville he was too clumsy and had a bad tendency to get lost in the Drift. Not wanting to kick him out of the program completely Micky gave him a counseling position. Goofy is particularly invested in Sora's team because they're the youngest out of all the pilots (being in their late teens/early twenties) and acts a paternal figure to them all. Donald won't admit it, but he's fond of the kids too.
