I will never understand the Yeagerists - help me understand the viewpoint
I think genocide, even in response to a genocide inflicted on them, is bad actually.
Even if you want to make the argument that they were justified because the Marleyans have always persecuted the Eldians and tried to use titans to wipe out the Eldians on Paradis Island, that discrimination was established from the government first and down. The daily Marleyan citizen certainly don't deserve what happened to them. People outside of Marley from other countries don't deserve what happened to them.
If Eren were to simply attack the government and military, that would have been a lot more justified than killing 80% of the planet.
I feel gaslighted because it feels like the dominant position from friends who watched AoT and also just on the Internet is being pro-Yeagerist.
Why?
