>>114911889Nah, Shinji was similarly horny from time spent with desirable girls, frustrated from rejection and mixed signals and definitely slipping into opportunist thinking since he didn't have many good role models, sure.
But he still kept his compulsions to himself.
He didn't mount Asuka while she was unable to do anything about it.
He strangled her later, but that's a different thing.Now, I'm usually someone who tries to be understanding even if not forgiving when it comes to a character analysis, but this crosses too many lines for even me to mental gymnastics through.
Spooky action from a distance shenanigans aside, to see your family, your loving, caring blood you've known your whole life to be precise, lying helpless and the first thing your ape brain thinks of isn't to leave them to their needed rest but to use them is abhorrent.
It's to become worse than a predator, it's parasitic.
The one place people should feel safe is in their home, the one time people should feel relief is sleep. The first people someone shouldn't feel a threat to their dignity is family. To knowingly triple violate all this for the rest of your life, for a few minutes of shameful self satisfaction isn't Shinji Ikari tier, it's more like a few steps from Griffith or Clarissa's dad tier.
I'll give that Tristam at least seems to regret his transgression against those close to him so he's not a lost cause, but this car, train, airplane wreck collision course can't be excused as an accidental lapse from stress/relief induced thinking like Mommy Robot Boy had. Not by a long stretch.
