@MexicAnalog @umm_nyanyway @glunkinator @DTGee64 The manga is considered to be a different canon. I have no knowledge of any of the spinoff series like the anima, so I couldn't really speak on them.

[wsvy @Iamwsvy]

@i_nvitad02 @AliceHeartlily @glunkinator @DTGee64 Suki was kept because it doesn't necessarily mean romantic and wasn't used in that way. The homosexual nature was never intended to begin with so they just tried their best to remove it.
Anything that seems like it falls under another category or is just unintentional.

[wsvy @Iamwsvy]

@MexicAnalog @umm_nyanyway @glunkinator @DTGee64 The original 26 episodes plus the movie
I used the word "main" so it wouldn't be confused with the unadded drafts

[wsvy @Iamwsvy]

@MexicAnalog @umm_nyanyway @glunkinator @DTGee64 But thats the issue, it was removed before it was ever apart of the main series. The drafts weren't even animated and the only thing left was the original script.
Kaworu has lived alone under SEELE his entire life, so he's very unaware of how human boundaries work.

[wsvy @Iamwsvy]

@i_nvitad02 @AliceHeartlily @glunkinator @DTGee64 If you aren't aware, the original drafts of the scene were cut down to remove the homosexual elements. The scene was to demonstrate Kaworu's naivety to human boundaries and was never intended to be sexual.
The dub change further clarified this point almost 30 years later

[wsvy @Iamwsvy]

@MexicAnalog @umm_nyanyway @glunkinator @DTGee64 The issue is that it isn't explicit at all, the scene demonstrates Kaworu's naivety and leans into a more awkward theme.
I really couldn't care less about how problematic it is, they decided it wasn't going to be in the show so it wasn't.

[wsvy @Iamwsvy]

@MexicAnalog @umm_nyanyway @glunkinator @DTGee64 Evangelion was made as a passion project and was notorious for being short on funds, its pretty much the opposite of a corporate show.
They just decided against the homosexual themes because they didn't feel like it fit the show. I'm unsure of why you keep calling it corporate.

[wsvy @Iamwsvy]

@i_nvitad02 @AliceHeartlily @glunkinator @DTGee64 They did retract it though? They retracted it multiple times in the original drafts then again in the Netflix dub. This would be the opposite of an intentional choice due to their efforts to remove any homosexual themes.

[wsvy @Iamwsvy]

@i_nvitad02 @AliceHeartlily @glunkinator @DTGee64 The rebuilds dont have any impact on the canon of the original series so Im not sure how that factors in here.

[wsvy @Iamwsvy]

@MexicAnalog @umm_nyanyway @glunkinator @DTGee64 Gainax had about 30 people when evangelion was made.
This was just a decision from a small team about what direction they wanted the show to go in, instead of some evil corporate overlord

[wsvy @Iamwsvy]

@MexicAnalog @umm_nyanyway @glunkinator @DTGee64 yeah
although it wasn't some sort of corporate revisionism, the creators just decided it didn't belong in the show

[wsvy @Iamwsvy]

@MexicAnalog @umm_nyanyway @glunkinator @DTGee64 I feel like I should clarify that I don't believe he's acting gay at all here, the bathhouse scene was reformed multiple times to remove homosexual elements.

The scene plays on Kaworu's naivety about human boundaries, which is used a lot more in the manga.

[wsvy @Iamwsvy]

@MexicAnalog @umm_nyanyway @glunkinator @DTGee64 I already spoke about this but to clarify he's doing it to ease his way into NERV while lowering Shinji's guard.
His goal is to hit Terminal Dogma and the only ones that can stop him are Shinji and Rei.
Rei is already aware, so he's just dealing with the last obstacle.

[wsvy @Iamwsvy]

@MexicAnalog @umm_nyanyway @glunkinator @DTGee64 I feel like you're missing my point
I'm implying that it was an act from start to finish to manipulate his way into Terminal Dogma.
Fitting it into your food analogy, it's as if you were pretending to be hungry but went to sleep anyway

[wsvy @Iamwsvy]

@MexicAnalog @umm_nyanyway @glunkinator @DTGee64 But it does?
If he has the intent to go through with his plan in trying to end the world, doesn't that reveal that he never truly cared about Shinji?

[wsvy @Iamwsvy]

@MexicAnalog @umm_nyanyway @glunkinator @DTGee64 He could've had multiple reasons for doing it but it's later revealed in the final scene of the episode he was just doing it to get into central dogma.

[wsvy @Iamwsvy]

@MexicAnalog @umm_nyanyway @glunkinator @DTGee64 They're discussing gendo and his own plan for third impact and plan on intercepting him
Shinji is brought into the discussion and it's heavily implied that the meetup with Shinji is just a part of seele's plan instead of kaworu having any real interest in him

[wsvy @Iamwsvy]

@MexicAnalog @umm_nyanyway @glunkinator @DTGee64 did you miss the image I had attached?
I was talking about the conversation between kaworu and seele

This gif is very powerfvl

[wsvy @Iamwsvy]

@fujodemon @glunkinator @DTGee64 The angel of free will also happened to follow SEELE's orders for 14 years but I guess that's irrelevant
but yeah sure you've been getting worked up the last 20 messages and I figured you'd blow eventually
