Holy fuck you just summed up everything I was thinking
Glad there are others than see how bad she is. I REALLY hope they're not building her up to be Eren's replacement or something.
Well said. She’s not a bad person, she’s understandable, but that’s all.
Eren was often criticized for being too noisy, shouting all the time and being too reckless and hot headed, but people could put up with it (or not mind it) because what he was shouting about (that someone has to do something about the titans, and he won’t give up no matter what) was basically right.
It’s a disaster if that shouting happens to go the wrong way, and starts killing someone the readers love. She’s so self righteous and proud of herself yet she’s wrong...
No, it's not just the fact that she's wrong. There's so much more than makes her just awful. First, she's so bloodthirsty. Yes, Eren may want to wipe out all Titans, but they're just mindless beasts. When he found out that the enemy were actually people, he was shocked, appalled, and in denial, even when the truth was right in front of him. It took a lot to make him want to actual kill another person. And even when they found out that Titans were once humans, he was once again shocked and appalled. What more, he's doing what he is so the world doesn't have to constantly fear for their lives of the Titans and can finally be free. Even now, he hates the fact that they have to kill people, but understands that they're at war, and that's sadly what comes with it.
Gabi, on the other hand, wants to kill people. Hell, she's absolutely thrilled at the thought of it. Like that time she pretended to be defenseless, and the Eldian soldiers didn't harm her because she was a child, and then she kills them, she celebrated it. And she wants to kill more in the future. Unlike Eren, she's quick and eager to take human life, and does it with a glee. What more, she wants to willing become a Titan Shifter in the future (meaning she will have to eat Reiner, which she knows), thus shortening her life to only 13 more year, just so she can kill more people. And she's doing this for the people who have been oppressing her and her friends all her life. And unlike Eren, she's not doing it for freedom. She just wants to wipe out all the Eldians because she was told they were evil, and because she thinks she'll get approval.
Also, unlike Eren, she didn't live through a horror like what he did with the Titans. She wasn't trapped within the confines of a wall her whole life, have to watch her parents, friends, and loved get devoured literally in front of her, and then go through hell and nearly starving to death. All this shaped Eren into the type of person he his. Gabi never experienced any of that, yet she's even more eager to kill. She also refuses to believe the truth when the leaders admitted that the Eldians being "evil" was a lie. She even refuses to believe that the Eldians were only acting in retaliation simply because she didn't see what happened herself. That's no different than the ignorant people in today's day and age that think that the Holocaust of the Jews never happened because they didn't see it themselves. She just wants to justify her desire to kill them.
But all that aside, Gabi is just a horribly unlikeable person. Never mind the killing and all that stuff, she's just an obnoxious, annoying, unlikable character. Yes, Eren was loud and noisy as a kid, but that was enthusiasm and support for the troops going out to face the Titans, basically the same as a person supporting their country's troops at war, and I already explained how the events in Eren's life have shaped him in ways that some people find unlikable. That's not the case with Gabi. She's like that simply because it's her character, and she's far worse in the annoying department than Eren.
She's like all the unappealing parts of Eren at his worst, with all his bad qualities and none of his good ones, only much more annoying. And now the little b*tch killed Sasha. She's easily the most unlikable character in the series. And now she's acting like those douchebags that deny the holocaust ever happened by saying that since they didn't see the attack on the Eldians, that it never happened. I hope she dies, and soon.
