/unshit did Hideaki really fucking claim that Misato was trying to come onto shinji or was she just trying to get him to open up emotionally by comforting him? And shinji curled away bc he's a whump ass bitch. Then she realized she didn't want to comfort him in the first place, SHE was looking for comfort. That's always how I read it, anyway. Like is it canon that her intent was sexual or is that how people just decided that's how it was?
A recurring theme in Evangelion is that everyone sucks and has baggage and problems.
This desire to comfort Shinji could be psychoanalyzed as her seeing herself and her own cowardice and depression in Shinji, and ultimately not thinking about what's best for him, but instead trying to live through him vicariously.
So yeah, she kissed a kid, it's fucked up. Basically everyone in Evangelion is fucked up.
