Attack on Titan’s story is literally culminating with the main character committing genocide against the entire world outside of his island, and AoT fans are all “but the nuance! The reasons behind it!”

Congrats, you have just been lead to believe genocide can be a reasonable means to an end given the right circumstances. And that’s the first step.

This is an article written about the fascist undertones of the series. The thing that really gets me is that both the alt right and liberals who believe in the aesthetic of armed revolution have eaten this stuff up. We have to be critical of our media and try to understand what about it appeals to us and why. Nothing is apolitical. Claiming to be “apolitical” can only be made from a sociopolitical position of power.

it bothers me IMMENSELY that people online are willing to say “hey stop supporting harry potter because the creator is alive and still materially profits for her hatred”, but the same has not happened for AoT despite years of issues like this. there are many problematic pieces of media. but this is integral to AoT’s story, and the creator is benefiting. stop watching it. stop reading it. stop posting about it, unless to call this shit out. stop writing fic and doing cosplay. even if you pirate content about it or only consume fanworks, that’s still free advertising. i say this as a former fan. i get it. but there are plenty of other well-animated stories with compelling characters out there. leave this one behind.

the creator of AoT is a eugenicist that believes korean people arent even human
