>>2818931>The point isn't that Gendo is a good father, it's that Shinji was too easily upset and needed to man up and accept that his dad was a dick, rather than whining about it to a girl.Come on. You know none of that is true. Shinji has after he's been abandoned the right to be upset with his father. All Shinji said was "How could I trust a father like him?!" in response to Rei's question if he trusted him or not. So he wasn't asking, he was ASKED.
So Shinji is implying his father is a dick here, just like you said he should.
>Rei has character flaws. Plenty of them. Hell, she's literally supposed to be a metaphorical characterization of a person with schizophrenia. However, this is not one of them, and you're shilling Shinji harder than CTR ever pushed Clinton. This IS one of them, she was too quick to judge. If it pleases you, Shinji was a pussy as well and not only took the slap, but also failed to assert himself afterwards. The conversation highlights their own failures to communicate - this includes Rei.
Why didn't Rei explain to Shinji why she disagreed?
