A coward leaves their "love" up to interpretation while using said "love" to pay the bills.
>A cowardly move would have been sanitizing their relationship and ignoring the negative aspects so they could continue to latch onto each other just to appease some fujos that misunderstood their relationship from the getgoInstead, he, like a coward, made it so people can think of them as just friends or Kaworu as a father figure all along and see nothing wrong with that interpretation, while showing that Rei and Asuka's love is/was romantic.
You are confused, it's not about fujos, he appeased to people who don't like gay shit and were happy 3.0 was not gay shit all along. Did you forget the post popular part of the nip evafags are not fujos but waifufags? It doesn't matter if they don't ship anything, they don't want gay shit on their precious robot anime
