#the controversy is seriously so baseless#it relies on cherry-picking ‘evidence’ to fit their bad faith views of a series#that clearly lays out its themes and issues#‘one of the war generals is based on a real war general!’ ‘some of the titans have big noses!’ ‘there’s military imagery!’ lol okay#how about#the military and government is clearly depicted as corrupt in many ways#main characters explicitly condemn bigotry and fascism and genocide#the series entertains the hope of learning to understand each other despite differences#and then has it come crashing down with the threat of an extremist fascist group that takes over#who are very much framed as bad guys#a character saying ‘genocide is wrong!’#characters sitting around a fire discussing the sins they know they committed because of ignorance and hatred#and how they can never atone#a whole plot that involves ‘euthanizing’ an entire ethnic group which is portrayed as very fucked up#HEAVY themes of brainwashing and military propaganda and how dangerous it is#the never ending cycle of hatred and prejudice and oppression#the way there’s no justification for bigotry and oppression#and that eradicating the enemy does nothing and only leads to more hatred and death and violence#these hold so much canon-supported weight over all the weak ‘proof’#that this series is somehow evil military propaganda instrumented by the Japanese government to train new soldiers and djaldjakhdbsvd#anyway I’m begging people to watch/read aot for themselves#don’t listen to the articles and tumblr posts that took misinformation and rumors to ruin the reputation of a really good piece of media
