>>4384729>probably would have fallen in love with her lol. I know i am more moron than you and the other anon. Is this a cope mechanism as it is for Misato? Who knowsI stayed away from women because of Rei and Evangelion. Still do. It was an oath I swore after finishing the Original Series and both EoE and Death & Rebirth. I could never view women as something I would have attraction to anymore. Flesh is weak. EoE GNR broke my illusion of everyday horny life of a teenage boy. I'm just happy I never got with anyone before and after my introduction to Her beauty.
>I think i was 14/15. May i ask how did you come to know about Eva? I'm not ashamed to say for me it was like "wow cool mecha and cute little girls in latex, let's watch it!"It was way before 13-14 years old me. Saw some youtuber reviewing a EVA Unit 01 figure. Saw some moments from youtube. First I was traumatized when I saw Zeruel chopping EVA Unit 01's arm off and showering Gendo with her blood. I liked reading so Wikipedia was my go2 at the time. When I saw what Rei looked like and what was written about her. That was the defining moment for my future. What caught me off guard when I read about the hospital scene. Without the context I couldn't understand Shinji's mindset. Now I do. I was just disappointed that Shinji showed any kind of attraction towards the red one. Even if it was something like that. I self inserted as him. That's why.
