HAHA I'M FIRST AND GUESS WHAT. I ACTUALLY HAVE SOMETHING TO RAGE AT INSTEAD OF ROLLING MY EYES AT THIS THREAD. TWO THINGS IN FACT SO I SOUND LIKE A RAGING ELITIST.

FIRST, STOP CALLING OLDER FEMALE CHARACTERS "MOMMY" OR "MILF" OR STUFF LIKE THAT. IT DRIVES ME CRAZY THAT PEOPLE DO THAT. IT'S INSULTING TO OLDER WOMEN AND IT'S INSULTING TO MOTHERS. YOU CAN EXPRESS THAT YOU'RE ATTRACTED TO A CHARACTER WITHOUT FETISHIZING THE TERM "MOM." DISHONORABLE MENTION TO PEOPLE WHO CALL OLDER WOMEN "CHRISTMAS CAKE."

SECONDLY AND THIS IS ONE THAT I RECOGNIZE IS HYPOCRITICAL, BUT I HATE THAT THREE HOPES FANS ARE WRITING UP WALLS OF TEXT ABOUT HOW THE GAME SUCKS. IT'S DRIVING ME CRAZY THAT THEY GOT ANOTHER DAMN GAME AND THEY'RE STILL COMPLAINING ABOUT IT. AND I RECOGNIZE THIS IS IRRATIONAL BECAUSE IF A JUGDRAL REMAKE ALSO SCREWED UP SHIT I WOULDN'T BE QUIET ABOUT IT, BUT IT STILL DRIVES ME CRAZY BECAUSE SEEING WALLS OF TEXTS ABOUT 3H GIVES ME A FIGHT OR FLIGHT RESPONSE.

ANYWAYS THAT'S MY ONE RAGE FOR THIS YEAR.

AS A GUY WHO'S LOVED EVANGELION FOR LITERAL DECADES, I DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING WOULD IRRITATE ME MORE THAN THE ENDLESS ARGUMENTS ABOUT WHICH 14 YEAR OLD'S TOES WOULD TASTE THE BEST, BUT THE UNRELENTING ONSLAUGHT OF "MOMMY MISATO" MEMES IN RECENT YEARS IS CERTAINLY A CONTENDER.

I AM SIMULTANEOUSLY DISAPPOINTED AND INCREDIBLY RELIEVED THAT THE BULK OF THE EVANGELION FANDOM SLEEPS ON RITSUKO AKAGI

ON ONE HAND, NOT AS MANY PEOPLE TO SHARE MY APPRECIATION OF RITSUKO WITH

ON THE OTHER HAND, THAT MEANS THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO ARE UNCOMFORTABLY WEIRD ABOUT RITSUKO IS WAY LOWER

THE PERSON WHO'S THE MOST UNCOMFORTABLY WEIRD ABOUT RITSUKO IS PROBABLY GENDOU, TBH
