I can't name an openly gay character in Rebuild.
I can however name a gay character from NGE that had their sexuality entirely removed in the Rebuild. And that's what I wrote, the is no space dedicated to gay characters in the Rebuild universe.
Unless you count an eternal being having a savior complex for Shinji as gay representation, which I personally don't.
Still, they gave fujoshi their fanservice in 3.0, no one can deny that.
Re: Shinzo Abe's breeding propaganda. Shin is a movie that explores the family dynamics entirely from a strongly conservative pov, that's it.
That said, I won't continue this discussion. Just thinking about all this reminded me why I hate this movie so much, it's infuriatingly heteronormative and hyperfocused on the nuclear family to the point of harming its own characters.
