I assume Anno made the show? Wasn’t the show also sometimes weird about them? It’s no excuse but it does strike me as a little odd. Like this is the guy who made the scene where Shinji… uhh… “melts his icecream”, yes he was probably saying something about it but he still did it, you know?

Shinji is a maladjusted teen who doesn’t get the chance to emotionally connect to anyone because he’s forced to fight a war. Exploring sexual trauma through your characters is nothing like sexualizing characters. Honestly kinda immature to view that scene as “haha he straight up jorked it”.
