What is even the purpose of this character?

What is even the purpose of this character?

none

Being raped.

Selling toys.

Anno's response to the otaku part of the EVA franchise, something along the lines of "oh you want a character to fetichize upon? I'll give you one and she'll be obnoxious"

Was it on purpose? I mean the insides of my boots have more personality.

Boost the glass fetish.

>Was it on purpose?
This is coming from the same guy that had Shinji jerk off over an unconscious Asuka as a condemnation of how fans were objectifying the character

>I come here to laugh at you

That's a point. But didn't Lynch do something similar? Objectify a female character so much she's basically cut out of the picture, and the rapist becomes just a masturbator. For the life of me I can't remember the movie.

Selling merchandise and diluting the point of the original series and theme

Commercial, fanservice, etc.
>The Master is using her as criticism for blah blah
Anno has always been a greasy otaku at core, for good or bad.

Merch.

so in story none and outside of it, merch?

Tie to Gendo and Yui's past, I guess. Also show the extent of "Eva's curse".

Move the plot forward I guess.

She's honestly the biggest reason I don't want to watch the rebuilds.
We already had two female pilots, a milf and a femboy. Why do we need fanservice doki bitch? especially in a story that already had a great character dynamic?

whose the milf?

Misato/Ritsuko?

they aren't pilots ding ding

i didn't say they were. Shinji just doesn't need this much pussy for his femcock.
