He was being tongue in cheek. A joke. I would advise against* going into threads looking to criticize other users. We're here to have fun and share in our love of Eva.
Edit: *thanks for pointing that out typo.

He wrote a ton of fanfiction about it, basically changing the events of Ep 22 to allow for a ""romance"" between the two trans-dimensional lovers to blossom, wherin Arael helps Asuka come to terms with her Mother, while she teaches him the basics of human emotion and vulnerability.
But really, I think it was just a dumb pretense to get his waifu to grind up on some sexy space molecules. The whole Instrumentality ordeal also makes this pairing somewhat irrelevant (and no less stomach churning), but he wasn't budging. Goddamn perv. Still a funny guy tho, and not a bad writer in spite of the subject matter.
This also reminds me of someone that wrote a Giantess smutfic involving GNR, Shinji, AND Kaworu, but I won't go into that weirdo shit in this thread.
As for my favorite pairing, I'm a bit partial to Shinji x Rei, but I acknowledge Shinji x Asuka as the end-all-be-all canon pairing, for obvious reasons.

Kind of ironic, really, that people who've been raised in a society and have a developed theory of mind are less curious about what and how the Other thinks than people who were born alone and don't de facto have anyone to tell them what "alone" actually means.

Lilin like Asuka don't give one shit about what the enemy actually is, they just want it dead.

Pairing wise though I don't believe in relationships founded on cruelty or malice so unless its an AU fanfiction where Arael actions are different and he's betraying the other angels and takes a human form and he and Asuka develop a healthy relationship I cant see it happening.
