    Attack on Titan is the single most incompetent anti-fascist text that has ever existed. It's a work that's failed so hard at its main goal that it embodies the very things it seeks to criticize.

    I'd ask him why he's such a crybaby manchild but spoilers for the ending I guess whoops.

      Attack on Titan is a pro-fascist text.

      Any text/author that creates a situation or plot where genocide is justified or "necessary" is pro-fascist.

        The author’s intended messages: “fascism bad because an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind” and “only petulant manchildren would perpetuate genocide because at the end of the day they’re scared little children afraid of losing their mother figures”

        The message chuds take away because the author is an idiot who spends far too long making genocide “epic and “cool”: “Genocide kinda based actually”

        You’re right, of course. AoT ends up a fascist text.

            Everything that entertains me must be good because I am good

            The Author is dead. The Author remains dead. And we have killed him. […] Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we ourselves not become authors simply to appear worthy of it?

                Schrödinger's Author.

                Tho ppl who invoke the Thermian argument are usually more concerned with ‘lore’ and mystery boxes rather than any sort of critical reading, it’s all just content to them.
