Translate!
Read DC's Infinite Crisis. He was the sole remaining survivor of an entire universe, ridden with more angst than your average petulant teenager, convinced that nothing in the universe was ever his fault, and kryptonite had no effect on him. He ran around crying like a baby and dismembering people until the Flashes kicked his ass into the "SPEED FORCE!"
NickFury90’s right; compared to that dude, Shinji’s machismo incarnate.
But if I weren't comparing Shinji to Superboy Prime, I'd have to describe Shinji as a marginally dysfunctional adolescent with all the odds stacked against him who (for most of the series) lacked the willpower to act. He was given next to nothing to work with, had little incentive to use what he had, and expected to perform regardless of these obstacles because he was told that the human race depended on him. Oh, and he cracked under the strain of being unwillingly appointed the messiah when all he really wanted to do was get laid. As a hero, he's pathetic, because he's just too realistic.

whiny little prick... useless crybaby... runaway squirell... stupid gutless spineless waste... the greatest waste of flesh and bone in the last 500 years (cause he's anime i have to say "of paper and paint" but that sounds stupid ass)...
that is my description of Shinji-faggot,
i hoped in every single episode that he would die.
and when he did the things he did (feel to lazy to make spoiler) to Asuka in EoE i didn't hope he would die anymore... i hoped I would get the chance to kill him personally! (i KNOW he's an anime character and that there are some problems accomplishing that but still...)

A self-deprecating and emotionally repressed young boy, his desperate approval-seeking behavior and egocentrism makes him capable of acting both in tremendous self-sacrifice and in wanton self-centeredness.

I do hope you're using "faggot" as a term of endearment, that I do.i_Love_Asuka wrote:that is my description of Shinji-faggot

Bosnian, say what? I thought you wanted to know who Superboy Prime was. Shinji's Japanese. I don't understand how Eastern Europeans came into the picture to begin with, but seeing how the term's used, I assumed it was more bizarre internet jargon that stood for angst-ridden. Why it's "bosnian" and not "slovak" or "belarusian" or "inuit" I doubt I'll ever understand, though.
Haha. I know that stuff. I just didn't understand why Shinji was being compared to "Bosnians", which isn't even an ethnic group. Of course, it turns out that anytime you type "e-m-o" (sans dashes) it gets turned into "bosnian" by the forum's filter.Merridian wrote:Bosnian, say what?

Arbitrary 4chan insanity. I'm usually too busy looking at naughty pictures to keep up with all the weird secret jokes. ^^;Why it's "bosnian" and not "slovak" or "belarusian" or "inuit" I doubt I'll ever understand, though.

Poor Shin-chan, you don't need to look far to find someone calling him a fag...So why exactly do think so? Is it because he doesn't look or act "manly", or behave like how you'd want from a soldier or hero? He might be an emotionally crippled boy who looks (and socially acts) rather effeminate, but throughout the show he realy does every bit as well as could be expected from someone in his place.i_Love_Asuka wrote:whiny little prick... useless crybaby... runaway squirell... stupid gutless spineless waste...

Wait, they filter words here...I didn't know that, and you say E-M-O is filtered to emo? I guess I really should lurkmoar

That's LurkMore; and the idea is the people should be less lazy when describing Shinji. And it amuses me.Synapsid wrote:Wait, they filter words here...I didn't know that, and you say E-M-O is filtered to bosnian? I guess I really should lurkmoar

My perception of Shinji is that he's a person who has been emotionally maimed by years of pain, sadness, and loneliness. From losing his mother to being abandoned by his father, then called upon when he's needed. Like a tool. A person who wants to do well but struggles with self confidence issues and other problems.
I actually appreciate the filter more. I didn't know it was a term that frequently applied to him... it really is a lazy way to describe him, though. I guess I haven't been spent enough time in Eva-related message boards. ^^; ("What, Shinji is Bosnian? What does that even mean?") I'll still never forgive you, Tines-san. For being so outrageous.Mr. Tines wrote:the idea is the people should be less lazy when describing Shinji
Oh, and incredibly somebody won the ten magic "O-points" (MOPS?), and they know who they are. I've become a monster.

b... But I thought a lurkmoar was fine too ... And What else do they filter in EGF?Mr. Tines wrote: That's LurkMore; and the idea is the people should be less lazy when describing Shinji. And it amuses me.
But I guess emo really is a poor way to describe Shinji, unless if we're going to start calling every PTSD kid that...besides it's a music genre, and Shinji isn't even into it.
But why exactly did it bother you so Onnesan, it wasn't just because it made everyone seem akward was it?oOoOoOo wrote: I'll still never forgive you, Tines-san. For being so outrageous.
I think it's all hilarious, It's goten to the point where you could have half the forum do anything you want...oOoOoOo wrote:Oh, and incredibly somebody won the ten magic "O-points" (MOPS?), and they know who they are. I've become a monster.
