I know what you mean. I don't want to hear Eren scream "I'm gonna kill every last one of those Titans" anymore, either. didn't he upgrade to "I will kill every last one of those Marley people overseas"?

He did, but my point is that all of the reasons people keep using for why they don't like Gabi can be used to describe Eren as well. So I don't understand why she gets so much hate, and Eren doesn't. Maybe it has something to do with Eren being the main character... I think it has something to do with the fact that she joined the Marley Warrior program to kill the Paradis Eldians. Eren's a pawn, Gabi's a wannabe hero for the Marleyans.

Gabi wants to kill all of the Eldians because she has been told her entire life that they are evil incarnate, and they are the reason that Eldians are hated by the rest of the world, and are forced to live as second-class citizens in Marley. She doesn't know that everything she has been told is a lie, and that her "enemies" are actually normal men, women, and children who know nothing about their people's history and just want to live peaceful lives.

Eren wanted to kill all of the Titans because he was told his entire life that they were evil incarnate, and they were the reason that humanity was nearly wiped out, and was forced to hide within the Walls on Paradis. He didn't realize until after he had killed dozens of Titans that his "enemies" were actually normal men, women, and children who were forcibly turned into Titans by the corrupt Marleyan government in order to have them patrol Paradis and keep the Eldians within the Walls from escaping the island.

I don't see how people can say that they hate Gabi when she is acting the same way the main character of the entire series acted up until the Return to Shiganshina arc. Sure, we know that the Paradis Eldians aren't actually devils like she believes, but that's becaue we've read the series. Gabi doesn't have the luxury of sitting down with a copy of Attack on Titan and reading it in order to find out that her entire world view is incorrect.
