She makes some odd mistakes, too, like declaring Asuka and Ritsuko are 'literally the same character' because they both 'saw their mothers die'. Er.... no? Asuka got there after Kyoko was already dead, and Ritsuko was nowhere near at all when Naoko took her header off the command deck.
Never try to understand the mind of a person with an agenda and a willingness to bend facts to fit said agenda. It's like trying to teach a Young Earth creationist about evolutionary biology.
Well, there's 'agendas' and then there's 'agendas'. We all have our biases, and we can't completely divorce ourselves of them. Completely shutting someone out because 'they're biased' is only perpetuating the same sort of closed-mindedness you claim to be fighting.
I worded that poorly. What I meant was that it's futile to try to change someone's mind when they're willing to ignore what's in front of their noses.
Kaworu/Shinji a.k.a. Yaoi, lots and lots of Yaoi.
Probably not. All these people were engaged in years, sometimes decades long plans. That usually prevents any form of insanity plea. Also, I think we can say they could differentiate between good and bad, they just didn't give a damn.
Mixing up continuities? In the manga, Ritsuko both watches Naoko's murder of Rei-I and her suicide. And then later on nearly strangles Rei-II herself...
So in a way what she writes comes off as almost victim blaming to me (though no doubt she'd say the same about me). As for K/S, I think it isn't so much that she 'hyper-idealizes' it, but for the most part just arguing that it is a thing. Or yes, maybe the thing as far as Shinji is concerned, but most what I've read on that tumblr in regards to K/S were complaints about its erasure in public perception. 
I really hope something happens in 3.0+1.0 to well and truly ruin that. It was clearly meant as bait to screw with the shippers, but its gotten out of hand. I've got it!
what, like a TERF?
What, Kaworu's head exploding wasn't sufficient?
No. Trans exclusion is not what I meant with gender essentialism. Rather... you can base feminism off on two starting notions: That all the differences between men and women proclaimed by society are bullshit and that we need to free ourselves from those gender stereotypes dictating to our lives, or that those differences really exist and that female attributes, traits etc are undervalued. I.e., that there really are such thing as "the feminine" and "the masculine"; hence gender essences. While not a clear split, you find the former mostly in the third and the latter mostly in the second wave. And that latter I find to be simply a reproduction of the old sexist notions the patriarchy holds. It is itself sexist in its basic assumptions. Unfortunately, that is the view on "feminism" that blog seems to be hold.
As a rule, I don't know what to expect from tumblr. That's by design.
given that tumblr's userbase runs a gamut from feminists to literal neo-nazis, there's no 'reaction you can expect from tumblr'
Do you really think that something as small as death will stop some people? There are people who ship MCU Hawkeye with other guys. And he's happily married. With three children.
If it weren't for 'the Tabris business', Kaworu would be the shallow one-episode love interest that is never seen again. Take away the Angel part, and Kaworu just plain wouldn't act like he does, and be an entirely different OC. It bugs the Hell out of me that a shallow, desperation-and-lies based relationship is ever viewed as a better one than any of the others that the entire series spends developing. 'Told him some comforting nothings and lies when he was desperate' is far more toxic than the worst moments Shinji had with Asuka, Rei, or Misato.
Well sure, that "if he weren't Tabris" distinction is maybe a bit artificial. He is like he is because he is in fact Tabris. But without the inevitable doom that comes with that, the inevitable tragedy, which isn't really Kaworu's fault... that's what I wanted to say. I have no idea how to go around that inevitability myself, but I also can't blame Kaworu for it. And I don't think he set out to deceive Shinji.
So do I, it's part of the reason I really suck at dialogue when writing because often I wonder if what I'm writing is something a character would say in this manner or with these words and other times I just can't write out of fear of writing cheesy, corny, bland or overdone lines. To be fair though, I really should read more literature books instead of just history or science ones.
Bahahaha, I remember something like that happened in November of 2014. Yes, that was when Naruto manga ended.
It's like you can see the very moment their hearts break.
