Do people exaggerate Gendo being that bad of a dad? He doesn't

No, he's pretty much a terrible father.

>>156768712
>he only ignores him mostly.
If you knew anything about psychology, you would know that this sort of thing can completely break a human.

>Wants to carry out an insane plan to be with his wife again at the cost of humanity and making his son suffer for his selfish desires

Not only was he a shit dad, he was a horrible human being.

>>156768712

Gendo is a disfunctional being emotionally, being a terrible father was the least of his problems

Nigga knew what he wanted and went for it that's respectable. Also his son was kind of a little bitch, and it's not like Gendo didn't try set him up with a sweet gig piloting a big ass robot and close to some cute girls his own age who were just at that age where they be beginning to get sexual and shit, and shinji just cried like a bitch. Gendo did what he could to be a good dad, but in the end his son was a disappointment, and that's not his fault.

Thanks for bringing rational posts to the thread. Yes, being ignored by a loved one can cause a lot of damage.

>`shinji, get in the robot, or else Rei will have to pilot it again`
>"well good luck with that Rei"
>sachiel trashes Rei, gets to the geofront and everyone fucking dies
FLYYYYY ME TO THE MOON
lol

>>156768712
>wow I can't believe Gendo is considered a bad dad! I mean he didn't like, hit him or anything, he just abandoned him when he was a 5-year old child JUST after his mother died, only to call him 10 years later and ask him to "pilot" and unpredictable, unstable animal, exposing him to not only psychological scars from facing an unknown and inhuman enemy, but also treating him like a mere expendable asset, he wasn't that bad!

>He doesn't hit or shriek or so much as yell at his son at all, he only ignores him mostly.
He was a negligent father.

>>156770297
Ayys be attacking everybody, would you rather be one of the dots crushed under on of the many falling buildings in the battle sequences, or the guy piloting the mech?

Shinji was a teenage boy with a harem dumped in his lap. Do you remember being a teenage boy? Or are you the same kind of faggot who would go for kaowru instead?

>>156768712
For me being coldly ignored is worse than being beaten, as someone's who's experienced both.
At least if they hit you things go back to normal after you cry and forget about it.
But being reminded they don't care about you, that you're just a burden, day after day...
That's the worst.

>>156770700
I remember being a self-loving human being that would not forgive a father that left when I was mourning my dead mother and constantly ignores simply because he makes me live with a couple of girls.

>>156770700
If you pilot the mech you feel all the attacks it does, dumbass. You want to feel acid dumped on you or your head pierced with a lance?
As for his "harem" it consists of an abusive shrieking harpy, an alcoholic with daddy issues and pedophilic tendencies, and his mom's clone. I would actually go for Kaworu in that situation.

Yes, when I was fourteen dad and I were playing video games and having fun together. Would you rather run after pussy at that age than spending time with your family? If yes, then you have issues. Not to mention Rei, Asuka and Misato were all equally damaged as well.

Also Kaoru did literally nothing wrong.

Don't let the Reifags hear you say that.

the sad part is normies agree with that picture

>he only ignores him mostly.
That is the worse form of abuse

>>156770551
It's like everyone else is useless except for Shinji.

Wrong. It's a sociopath filter. I have plenty of normie friends that love Eva and rightly consider Gendo a horrible father. On the other hand, I've read plenty here who consider Shinji a pussy because he would rather get a hug from his dad than "le gett laid xD" are people from here.

Just admit that you are a sociopath that would rather try (and most likely fail) to get laid than try to have a healthy relationship with your parents

Kensuke was actually Anno's self insert.

You really have daddy issues, don't you?

A proven failure. How's that relevant anyway?

Hey, I'm not the one saying abuse can be ammended with cute girls.

And you sound like a guy with either low self-respect or contempt for your folks, maybe both even.

Just remember girls would rather fuck Chad than you because Chad is a healthy person with priorities and not a cuck that puts pussy in a pedestal.

>>156772316
what kind of a faggot cuck chadposts while bitching about 'waaaaah muh sociopathy' on a mongolian basket weaving forum?

You don't actually think that Shinji is the pinnacle of masculinity or what a model son should strive to be, do you?

I can agree to an extent about Shinji being initially whiny, but the moment he got dropped in the giant robot with zero training (and have the sensation of your arm snapping and your skull being penetrated), he gets every right to freak out and complain.

>>156778828
Try to forget post plot twist hindsight, too. First watch, just the robot being alive and wanting him was sinister.
