[SPOILER ARLERT: Don't read this if you haven't read the scans and don't want to be spoiled]

I think we can start by saying Isayama is a nationalist and I've heard people say the way he draws Titans is somewhat anti-semitic.

The lesson of this serie also seems a bit reactionary, the fact that "walls work" for example, even if they end up not working so much in the end.

The genocide versus self annihilation aspect is also to be discussed I guess. On the subreddit, you can see many people that are pro Eren, pro destruction of the entire world. I guess if one thing can be said about this series is that there are really no actual good guys, everyone is a killer and all factions suck; whether that's good depiction of politics or not, I couldn't say.

    well why not, like the walls work as in they stop the titans but they create a really bad society, like isn't the whole scout division a proof of how it does not trully work of how humans refuse their cages, like erwin is ready to pile up bod of his soldiers for the small possibility of getting a single inch for humanity
