>>3073691>there's so much dislike for Rei because her very existence makes characters like Asuka or Kaworu look inferior. Add that Asuka and Kaworu fans are conditioned into believing their characters are "better" by years of otaku pandering and getting their wayI don't think that's true. They see Rei threads as easy to troll and they simply hate Rei as a character. It has been going on for so long now it's part of board culture.
Maybe external pandering has some small part to play but I doubt it's the main reason.
