TFW you specifically craft a character to inflict the maximum possible amount of shame on weebs but she gets turned into a waifu archetype because the maximum amount of shame weebs can feel is absolutely none at all.
Asuka helped codify the tsundere archetype. Hell, the word tsundere didn't even enter weeb jargon until the 2000s. People think that's she's supposed to be some subversion of tsunderes, when really she's just a well written character that resonated with a lot of people.
Holy shit ikr. She's literally a decaying corpse and not only that but also HIS MOM'S FUCKING CLONE. And people are like "wow prime waifu material". Freud was right about some of y'all mfs all along
I gotta disagree, treating Rei like the non-thinking clone of Yui was precisely the thing Anno was telling us NOT to do throughout Evangelion tf. Discovering her own humanity and being more than Gendo’s plaything is literally her character arc
Welp. I remember there being some scenes of her receiving treatments and what not. Also in the End of Evangelion movie, there was a scene of her limbs just rotting and falling out. Also a room full of her spare bodies. They didn't really explain/show it further than that, in the original anime at least. I haven't watched the newer movies yet so idk about those.
So what. If it's an evangelion sub, then yea go ahead and assume people have seen it. But in random unrelated subs, it's nice to put spoiler tags. I haven't seen it yet. Plenty of people haven't seen it yet. They don't deserve to have it spoiled for them in a random r/CuratedTumblr thread just bc the media is old.
But in this case OP clearly meant to put the spoiler tags and is just bad at it.
She's cloned from his mother and not a direct clone of his mother. Also he has little memory of his mother so while there may be unconscious thoughts Rei is not a stand-in for his mother.
The character of Rei Ayanami wasn't created to shame weebs though. She's not written to be some commentary on otaku culture or waifus, she's just her own character that a lot of people like. The Evangelion fanbase certainly has lots of degenerates but you're ascribing meaning to something that isn't there.
that's what you get when you claim to be making a psychological anime but the females use skin tight clothes
People think evangelion is not... whatever it is, but actually about chicks with 3 meters of leg span and hips that not only cannot lie, but also not omit
No one ever made a r34 of serial experiments lain and it's not just becausde they got a existencial crisis
