What the fuck was his problem? Was it autism?

He was only 14.
He never asked for this.

Man don't act like fourteen year old you wouldn't be jizzing in your pants just seeing an Eva let alone being allowed to use one. Maybe I was just an edgy 14year old but damn
Why does he wear a blue undershirt?
he was depressed repressed homosexual
>>159911879
It'd be cool I guess but not all the pain and gore and alien mindfuckery.

I can't really blame him too much. Shinji had a hard life.
All he had to do was get in the fucking Godzilla
>>159911879
No fucking way I envy Shinji's position even a little. I would have done even worse than him if I was in his shoes.

He kinda did. Gendo, Misato, and Rei all encouraged him to quit if piloting was so terrible, he stayed despite them. He was even allowed to refuse individual operations, Rei would do anything so he wouldn't have to and Ritsuko was always on standby to rewrite Unit 01.
He was a teenager

Replace eva with hotties in bodysuits and responsibility.

Add autism then you have a perfect explanation

Which is why I don't get why dislike him so much. He actually took responsibility, but people still hate him for being a whiner even though he was 14 and had to go through shit most people couldn't fathom experiencing.
