This is why, and no I will never call the show and anime, but I've heard a lot of sjw's talk about support female anime writers blah blah blah but to be honest with you, as someone who calls myself a feminist and an otaku, the most feminist anime I've watched and manga I've read were written by men, ironically, the stuff written by women, we're actually quite condescending towards women. It's almost like they had internalized misogyny or something. They hyper focused way too much on a roll of a woman and basically a lot of female tropes that just need to die off for goodness sakes, and I have to say, in comparison, evangelion is a whole heck of a lot more politically correct than this show by a long shot. It shows a humanized, non-toxic masculine male character, and authentic representation of a boy with actual complicated emotions who cries, and isn't a stereotype in any direction, and deals with the very real problem of daddy issues. It is vent art, and to be honest with you, while I love the basis of the plot, I really struggle to watch evangelion, just simply because especially if someone who's been sexually assaulted before, I just can't watch the poor thing go through several seasons of episodes living with a woman who's literally grooming him. If you don't know what I'm talking about, note like the first scene, where he has a photograph of the woman who's supposed to pick him up, and literally, misato has a photograph of her with handwritten notes on it pointing out her cleavage and everything, it was so disturbing. I've really feel bad for the poor kid, I know he's fictional, but that's why I can't watch it, I just feel too bad for him and I will always cringe at the female characters in that anime, I'm guessing it was reflective of something the creator of it went through, I'm assuming also how he sexualizes shinji's sexual abusers, I kind of wondered if the guy was maybe groomed by women growing up?? I don't know it seems very likely to me, either way, I feel really bad for both the writer as well as the fictional character he wrote that goes through all kinds of horrendous things. Either way though, evangelion has much better social representation than this show ever will Edit: I was using voice to text, and how I said anime made Google think I said enemy

I've noticed that the writers don't understand what makes a "bigoted" character the way they are. I'm assuming this is because they don't understand the thought process behind said character, and simply create them out of spite. They seem to understand that their enemies are irrational, but they don't want to understand *_why_* they are. Is Aster like this because he is: Having self-esteem issues? Hiding his true self? Chasing "the high" of being dominant? Seeking attention and validation? You can't see these flaws in Aster's character, which is why his dialogue comes of as fake.

Sokka grew up in a society with highly enforced gender roles. He had been raised to believe that men best served the role of warrior/breadwinner while women were better at housekeeping. When he explored new cultures and found indisputably that this was not true, he apologized and humbled himself. It was such a simple, honest part of his character progression compared to this abomination

I'm not gonna lie, there is ONE line in this entire scene that is actually compelling. When he shifts vocal tone, right at the start of that line when he does a little inflection and gesture with putting his fist over his mouth and extremely disingenuously goes on to claim to have been very moved. Really nailed that exact tone, phrasing and pace for the delivery. It lasted only from "that I have a lot to learn, *pause* about myself."
