kinda glad that I use tumblr for fandom & on twitter I just have my own regular account. I follow a couple other EMs who are my closer friends & I do tweet/retweet about aot a good deal, but the tweets I get on my for you page are just. constant ship wars. people get so aggressive & mean. & yeah a lot of it is EHs instigating but I see plenty of fellow EMs replying with an unnecessary level of rudeness that just keeps the cycle going. I also see EMs just being nasty completely on their own. like, I just saw a tweet about how if you think Eren mistreated Mikasa "you are not Eremika, you are an idiot who wants to fit in where you don't belong." Like. I am a diehard EM. this ship rewired my brain. this ship taught me the meaning of the word hyperfixation. but I don't think it's incorrect to state that there were times that Eren mistreated Mikasa. I don't think it was ever intentional (other than when he lied at the table scene bc he was actually trying to protect her), but we can absolutely treat people unkindly without meaning to, & that doesn't mean what we did was ok. Mikasa never deserved it those times that Eren blew up at her when they were younger. & saying that if you think Eren didn't always treat Mikasa correctly you can't ship them at all & you're an idiot who's forcing themselves into a community you don't belong in is like. very extreme & pretty mean. imo at least.

Debunking misconceptions that Attack on Titan is pro-imperialist, pro-fascist, pro-nationalist or antisemitic:

I wanted to put together this bullet point list as a resource for anyone to use whenever they come up against the sadly rampant accusations made about AoT and Hajime Isayama being some sort of fascist, Nationalist propaganda, or in some way antisemitic.  With just a little research and application of logic, it should be easy to come to the conclusion that these accusations are baseless and without merit.  But, sadly, people are prone to hearing rumors or accusations and, without any effort of research or critical thinking, take what they heard at face value and believe it, often repeating it as fact, with no consideration or care as to the consequences of their carelessness.  I aim with this post to counter some of that ignorance.  So, here it goes.

1. Hajime Isayama is politically right-leaning and is pro-Nationalist and pro-Imperialist:

Incorrect.  Isayama has never made any public statements regarding anything political, let alone to do with the history between Japan and Korea.  This erroneous and widely spread belief about Isayama derives from an unsubstantiated rumor about him which has no substantive or concrete evidence to back it up. The truth is, a tweet touching on the subject of Japan’s invasion and occupation of Korea was written on an account which in no way is officially affiliated with Isayama.  This tweet was seen by someone who decided the account belonged to Isayama and, already laboring under the belief that Isayama was a racist because, I’m assuming, of comments he made expressing his admiration for a Japanese General named Akiyama Yoshifuru, leaked the tweet onto a Korean website, claiming it was from Isayama.  It then became news, which as all rumors on the internet do, spread like wildfire, resulting in Isayama receiving thousands of death threats and people lacking any sort of critical thinking skills to label him a pro-Imperialist and pro-Nationalist.  Despite happening nearly a decade ago, this rumor persists to this day and continues to color people’s perceptions of Isayama’s work “Attack on Titan”, reading pro-fascist and pro-Nationalist subtext into a work which very CLEARLY is the opposite.  One only need use basic reasoning and logic while looking at the actual messaging of clear denouncement of war, violence, prejudice and Imperialism seen in AoT to conclude that this rumor is in fact baseless and holds no merit.  It makes absolutely zero sense in the context of Isayama’s messaging in his own art.

2.  Hajime Isayama’s admiration of Akiyama Yoshifuru:

Isayama revealed that one of the characters from “Attack on Titan”, Dot Pixis, was based on the Japanese General Akiyama Yoshifuru. Many people, in their failure to know their history or do even the most basic research, don’t know that Yoshifuru wasn’t, in fact, alive during World War II, the second Sino-Japanese war, or even the Manchurian Invasion.  He wasn’t around for any of the atrocities that that IJA would later be known for.  He led successful campaigns during the 1st Sino-Japanese war, the Russo-Japanese war, and the Boxer rebellion in China. During the boxer rebellion both sides of the 8 nation alliance and the Chinese Rebels committed war crimes. This was all before WW1 and the Geneva Convention.  He just led successful campaigns that captured territory early on thus kickstarting the Japanese Empire, but didn’t actually participate in any of the worst atrocities that.  He’s a highly regarded figure in Japan, much the way Gen. Patton is in the US, and so it isn’t at all unusual for him to be an admired figure in that country, and shouldn’t in any way be used as a basis for judging what any person’s political leanings are.   Further, Akiyama spent his whole life afterward regretting being in the military, mourning for his subordinates and the victims of his military campaigns.  He campaigned to reduce military training in schools and disliked the totalitarianism japan was headed toward.  He wasn’t pro-war, pro-nationalist, pro-imperialist at all.  He was the exact opposite.  Much like Dot Pixes himself ends up being by the end of AoT.

3. Erwin Smith is based on Erwin Rommel, a famous German General:

 This rumor comes from the fact that Erwin’s birthday is the same day in which Rommel died, October 14th.  What even a little basic research will reveal, however, is that Rommel was executed on Oct. 14th for taking part in the July 20th operation, an assassination plot to kill Hitler.  Rommel was also not a card-carrying member of the Nazi party, and, while disputed by some historical studies, is and for a long time has been generally regarded as an example to be held up of how one should conduct themselves during times of war.  He’s a well respected individual.  

 4. The Eldian’s are meant to be a 1 for 1 analogy for the Jews in Germany and Europe during WWII:

Incorrect. While the Eldian’s treatment by the Marleyan’s in Liberio shares similarities with how the Jews were treated in Germany and Europe under Nazi rule, the Eldian’s in fact share much more in common with Germanic and Norse cultures, including their names, their religions, their culture, their mythology, etc…  Such as the references to Ymir, the giant who created the world, or Yggdrasil, the World Tree, which connects the 9 Realms and is the source of all life, (there are 9 Titan shifters, 9 being a numerically significant number in Norse mythology).  The Eldian’s, in the flashbacks with Ymir the slave girl, are shown to be a Germanic tribe of people, Vikings, who of course were known for colonizing and taking over other groups and nations.  Indeed, Marley oppressing and punishing Eldian’s for their ancestors sins parallels European powers enacting incredibly harsh reparations on Germany following WWI, essentially sinking it and it’s people into economic ruin and despair, which in turn lead to the sorts of desperate circumstances which allowed a person like Hitler and the Nazi party to gain traction and eventual control and power. Sound familiar?  Just like how Eren is able to come into the power of the attack and founding titans, giving him the ability to destroy Marley and the rest of the world, being a direct result of Marley’s own oppressive and prejudiced treatment of the Eldian’s.  This isn’t to say that the Eldian’s are meant to be a 1 for 1 analogy of German’s, but rather to demonstrate that Isayama obviously pulled from many real-world sources for inspiration in crafting the fictional world, people’s and nations that occupy “Attack on Titan”.   The parallels are meant to demonstrate a cautionary tale against holding people accountable for sins committed by their ancestors, for blaming entire groups of people for things they didn’t do.  It only ever leads to further hate, death, destruction and suffering.  Interestingly, the character most directly linked to actually being Jewish, is Levi, with his first name being Hebrew in origin, and his last name, Ackerman, being German.  A German Jew.  What makes this significant, of course, is that Levi is the only truly, traditionally heroic character in the whole story.  So make of that what you will. 

I’ll leave this comment I found on youtube to further explain:

 B Ch

The titans are "Eldians" by name but not by primary origin- anyone with Ymir's blood had the capability of turning into a titan due to a merge with a paranormal source (the "source of all organic matter"), and Ymir came from a nameless group of villagers that the Eldians colonized and enslaved, so Ymir by blood is not actually an Eldian, only further discrediting the anti-Semitism claim, since the "monsters" in question were ALWAYS the oppressed group and taken advantage of because of their abilities. The concept of Pure Titans only existed as a result of trying to duplicate one of the 9 titans only this could not be done either because simply injecting spinal fluid wouldn't do it, the shifter had to be sacrificed and eaten for this to happen (there is not reason why only 9 happened to come to existence, but it's likely just a notable numerical reference in Nordic mythology). Eventually existing Eldians all had Ymir's blood due to cleansing of their own people and others in order to pose a bigger threat to enemy nations, and those nations had associated Eldians with holders of the power for ages, no one ever knowing where it actually came from until we are shown through Ymir's memories: turns out, it was from another group entirely and a freak accident started by letting some pigs out of a pen. And tbh while I can't speak for Jewish people because I'm not Jewish, I will say that a lot of the backlash against Attack on Titan are made from Westerners, because they fail to realize that while the most prominent references are from the Holocaust and Nazi Germany, the full scale of references parallel several other tragedies of oppression and genocide, such as the Japanese internment camps in the US, the Rwandan Genocide, the Trojan War, etc. The Eldians aren't specifically meant to represent Jews but rather a general populace of oppressed people. It is more about the viscous cycle of trauma and hatred that removes and meddles with the history that would explain how it all began to being all but meaningless because there is no meaning beyond humans finding reasons to dominate over each other and believing they are the hero of their own story- the solution is to break free of that cycle so that freedom can be possible. Also while I'm not condoning Eren's ultimate actions, his words to stop being complacent to the circumstances and to go against the grain to make a change to your miserable situation can be a general moral for literally anything in life. Isayama has said the story was initially inspired by his drive to leave his hometown because as a child he felt very confined and trapped and restless-- and then he wanted to make a shape-shifting monster horror manga-- which then turned into a mystery that demanded some structure so, like MANY Japanese mangaka that make stories about war, you use parallels of real life occurrences and maybe focus a tiny bit too much on the European aesthetic and Holocaust. So that said, I can understand if the visuals are a bit too real for some viewers and that's totally cool, but that equally can't be used to dictate others of oppressed groups' opinions on the story.
