>>3608211He’s paired off with Rei in the ending and they’ve released official art with him, Rei and kid Shinji.
It doesn’t matter that it’s not explicity stated, it’s as good as explicit on the symbolic level.
And anyway, Kaworu’s not in a happy relationship with Shinji or with someone better for him, which is the real point. Gays and fujos are getting shat on. Well really just gays because fujos will probably just as easily self insert as Rei, Kaworu, Mari, or Shinji and enjoy the new pairings.
Kaworu and Shinji were a good pair, and we’re not having their relationship explored. I just want to see them happy together. Is that a realistic expectation for such a big franchise with abrahamic religious overtones and a waifu obsessed fanbase who self insert as the depressed reclusive loser mc? No, but then my personal happiness isn’t dependent on deluding myself into liking this shit franchise; which is Anno’s point anyway, that you shouldn’t be dependent on escapist fantasies. Sasuga Anno san.
Doesn’t change the fact that KawoShin was officially decanonized.
Even if you want to argue that Kaworu is not implied to be a heterosexual, Shinji is a salaryman off with Mari now.
No homo bro. And no potential ships for Kaworu either.
...when we could have gotten Kaworu and Shinji together.
But go ahead and keep telling me why I shouldn’t be mad. It’s not like you’ve got anything better to do in the threads almost solely devoted to this pairing.
