Rei didn't mean to but she struk where it hurts and Naoko was caight in an impulse before she could think clear
Ritsuko had a long bitter and spiteful grudge for something that wasn't Rei's fault.
You demonize Gendo a way too much too. He was but a SEELE's and Yui's pawn, if it wasn't he anyone else would do his job and maybe he's do worse.
Gendo had to make a girl for sacrifice.
He used his personal power to make a daughter and love her as much as he could. He couldn't be a better parent to her or shinji. At leas he was making her smile.
