huh, i wonder what geopolitical events have occurred in canada's proximity to justify increased spending on espionage

at some point you have to stop relying on retrospectives and word of god for media analysis because a) the vast majority of people consuming the work have no idea what animation director c said in a hobbyist magazine interview 3 years after the series ended, and b) that's nice but it's not what they watched. hardline 'death of the author' is willful ignorance but if you have to do outside research to make a point, and that point is that the work didn't actually depict the work, you don't really have one in respect to the cultural perception of the work. respectfully i don't really give a shit if hideaki anno revealed he tripped and spilled ink that makes anime gay all over the animation cels, and i fully understand the implication of 好き in the original japanese. peddle this strange brand of 'i'm not gay for liking episode 24 a little too much' denialism elsewhere

the kaworu episode being gay as fuck doesn't make it sexual... obviously there's a lot of nuance about how kaworu's the first and only character who's just interested in shinji without wanting something from him. compare to shinji's disgust at misato in e23 and his reaction to kissing asuka in e15. the point is to raise questions, not draw conclusions, so abruptly and right before the climax. the point isn't to say that shinji is or isn't gay. but it absolutely introduces queer themes to the show at the 11th hour and it's disingenuous to suggest that reading into them at all is somehow an act of willful overinterpretation.

mass hysteria doesn't really require hypotheses like these. it's a (somewhat) well understood flaw of our socially-hyperfocused monkey brains that mirror the thoughts and feelings of people around us. we see it all the time still nowadays, it's just a) less geographically concentrated, and b) it's riling up people into ganging up on folks on twitter instead of in the town square (although primarily nowadays it's selling products and services). our attention spans have been weaponized; there's no room for idle gossip to whip people into a frenzy - they need a solid narrative, some catchy clapbacks, and commentary from their preferred slice of culture to confirm their biases.

also, really bad title.
