Alright, I know a lot of people don't want to hear this, but try to hear me out on my little rant.

Erwin Smith wasn't a good leader. Erwin said himself that the only reason he joined the scouts was to prove his father's theory. He didn't do it to better humanity. He did it because he was upset at the government, which is reasonable, but I digress.

Erwin played with human lives to achieve his own selfish goal, I don't think that's something a good leader should do. He also doesn't show much remorse for his actions. He only shows remorse when he is about to die and realizes that all he did would be pointless because he wouldn't see what was in the basement. I think a good leader should work towards a goal that would benefit many instead of one individual. A good leader should also be sympathetic, which Erwin is not.

And while yes, I agree that Erwin's final speech was extremely well written, it still doesn't show he was a good leader, just a good motivational speaker. Remember, Erwin only led the suicide charge because he saw no other option. It was either die and say goodbye to any hope humanity had and let the warriors win, or die leading his soldiers to their death with the hope that Levi would be able to take out the beast titan. Also, are we just gonna ignore the fact that he admitted to being a conman? He said this to Levi. "To convince these youths to charge toward their deaths, it would take an expert conman and a whole spew of blatant lies." He himself calls himself a conman and a liar. I don't think a good leader should be a conman. I can see lying if it's for a good cause, but not conning people.

Erwin was a manipulator as well. It's not shown very much, but if you pay attention, it's definitely there. My best example is when he met Levi. Erwin offered Levi and his friends a deal. Join the scouts so you don't have to serve prison time. It sounds open and honest until you compare it to the speech he gave to the new soldiers when they were deciding what regiment to join. Erwin told them straight up that joining the scouts was dangerous by telling them about the likelihood that most of them would die within a year. He didn't do the same for Levi. He made it sound like this great deal, and there is a reason for the difference.

Erwin wanted to weed out the soldiers who would be cowardly and not willing to put their lives on the line. He didn't want soldiers who would waste his time. With Levi, he simply wanted him for his potential as a soldier. I truly don't think he cared about Isabel and Farlan. He just wanted Levi and played down just how dangerous the scouts were just to have him. And even after Levi joined the scouts, Erwin knew he couldn't leave. What was he going to go back to? He had nothing. No home, no life, no friends. At least with the scouts, he had purpose, and he didn't have to go back to the underground and return to his life of crime.

This all goes into my reasoning for why I hate how the fandom portrays Erwin and Levi's relationship. But honestly, that topic needs it's own post because this is already too long.

Thank you to whoever reads this whole thing and thank you to @onlyymirknows for showing interest in my unpopular opinion. You're great!<3

My favourite thing about AOT is that when Eren first met Armin and Mikasa, he scared the hell out of them

Like imagine this: You just had the worst day of your life. A bunch of kids beat you up/ you watched your parents get killed then you got kidnapped and out of nowhere a creepy little kid in a red scarf shows up and he is like “yo, wanna tatakae and be my bestie forever :)”

Hey, AOT fandom, are we still seriously hating on Gabi?

Like I get it, she killed Sasha, but she's also a child. She was fed propaganda from the moment she was born. She was told that the people of Paradis were devils by everyone whom she trusted. It's a lot like how kids in Nazi Germany were told that the Jewish people were demons who could breathe fire and slept upside down on the ceiling like bats. Gabi thought she was doing what was right by killing Sasha. She didn't see Sasha as a human. She saw her as a monster who was there to kill her family and friends. So can you really blame her?

Gabi also showed genuine regret for killing Sasha later on. There are so many moments where you can see the realization of what she has done and how wrong she had been. We don't hate Eren for killing 80% of the worlds population, but we hate Gabi for killing one woman who she saw kill people she cared about? Make it make sense.

I did also hate Gabi for a period of time, but the realization that she was simply a product of her upbringing really changed my opinion on her.

For those who still hate Gabi, I seriously recommend watching the movie Jojo Rabit. It's a movie about a young German boy who struggles with his moral beliefs. The propaganda he has been fed is represented by an imaginary Hitler who he considers his friend. I know it sounds like an odd movie and might be insensitive to the Holocaust, but I promise you it's not. It gives an insight into what children in Germany were experiencing and how propaganda affected their young minds.

TLDR: Gabi was a child soldier who was taught that the people of Paradis were devils. She is not the one at fault for her beliefs. Also, go watch Jojo Rabit to better understand her situation.

Autist4Autist ships

i was gonna wait to post this ofc but I want jack to see it. also feel free to yell at me if you think some of these aren't autistic. i'm unsure if levi is, but hange has so much autism that they make up for his lack of symptoms.
