i fear i have a superiority complex over a vast majority of aot fans because i am one of the few who when watching season 4 in 2020 did NOT EVER HATE GABI now I lowkey think i'm better than everyone else because wtf you mean you hate this little 12 year old girl who is clearly severly traumatized and already has been shown to have been raised by a child soilder from the first episode??? this little girl who just watched her friends die and in response did the thing she was literally raised to do (FIGHT???) all this and then they defend eren bro there is no way.
i use tiktok mostly just to post my own edits and see my mutuals stuff now bc im sick of the fandom on there. most of them clearly watched the show with their head up their ass or smth because they’re manage to come up with the most simultaneously hilarious and horrible takes ever.
also because not a single one of them can take bertholdt’s character seriously without rehashing the exact same name jokes i’ve heard since i joined the fandom in 2021. like sure some are funny but it gets so old so quickly, and when you make a post actually going into his character and being a bit more serious the comments are just “poor [some word beginning with b]” like PLEASE SHUT UP FOR A MOMENT!!!
literally had to put in the caption of one of my bert videos “stfu about his name for once” bc i knew the kind of comments i’d receive if i didn’t.
this fandom rather completely forgets his character (who is extremely important to the plot and towards the entire character of reiner but that’s a whole other thing), hates him for what he did even tho they love reiner/annie, or they treat him like a joke and never bother to go past surface level with his character.
he is the most interesting warrior imo because he was the first to openly admit and see that all the fighting was stupid and pointless. that the paradis eldians were no different from him and him killing them wasn’t personal, it was what had to be done to save his father. there’s alot more to him but im worried this will become like 3k words if i dont stop but most of the fandom can’t even comprehend that its actually ridiculous.
people treat him like absolute shit because he died first and he was weak when firstly shut the fuck up?? he was not weak in the slightest and had the most powerful titan ability bar the actual fucking founding titan. like oh my god. and other people say “oh he was too attached to reiner” dog that’s the point. of his character. oh my god.
idk i think im just sick of the fandom treating him like this. he and connie are imo the most overlooked characters in the entire animanga.
and don’t even get me started on how shit both him and connie are treated in official arts and stuff bc. wow
Remember when Hannes sacrificed himself protecting Eren and Mikasa from the Smiling Titan, the same Titan that killed Eren's mother? And Eren broke down from grief, remembering his mother's words that he had to be strong to protect Mikasa, and thinking that he failed? But Mikasa, thinking this was their last moment alive, told him that he hadn't failed, because he did protect her and continued to inspire her to keep living and moving forward no matter what? Thanking him for saving her and giving her a new purpose in life, wanting those to be her last words before they both die? And Eren was so moved by her words that he refused to die, refused to give up, and activated the power within him to control Titans, kill the Smiling Titan and save Mikasa? And this made Ymir realize that Eren possessed the Coordinate, meaning Historia did have a future within the Walls and no longer needed Ymir to protect her? And then Ymir booped Historia's head in a tender goodbye, told her she's sorry, and left to save Reiner and Bertholdt because they saved her from decades of being trapped in nightmarish mental torture, and she was so selfless and self-hating that she felt indebted to return the favour and give back her borrowed life? And Historia's stunned expression as Ymir left her, her desperate hands reaching out for her, wanting to go after her, so Connie literally had to drag her horse back by the reigns? And the soundtrack that started playing was a lullaby sung by children, over the surviving Scouts' escape but also Reiner, Bertholdt, and Ymir's, because at the end of the day, they were ALL just children forced to be soldiers and this entire situation was a horrible tragedy and they all deserved better?
