Your vendetta against Gabi needs to end. We get that you're pissed that she killed Sasha (not even in cold blood; it was in the middle of a war). Sasha was my favorite female character, and you don't see me crying about it. It's ancient history at this point, and most of us understand why Gabi did what she did and what she's learned since then. She's learned to be a better person and she's broken out of her "Eldians are devils" mentality.

And yes, it does take strength of will to spare your child's killer. Revenge is a vicious and bloody cycle that only multiplies the number of victims. Okay then, next time some racist kills a loved one of yours, let's see you look them in the eye and forgive them. While you're at it, welcome them into your home, clothe them, and call them part of your family and replace the dead relative of yours they killed. I GUARANTEE no one in their right mind will ever do that to murderers.

As someone with Jewish in-laws I have ZERO tolerance for the whole 'forgive and forget' mentality people take towards xenophobes, especially Nazi apologists. You just shifted the goalposts. Your anger would be far more justified if Gabi was a cold-blooded, remorseless mass-murderer, but she's not. She's a kid who had an incredibly unfortunate upbringing and was force-fed lies by her captors.

Reiner, Bertholdt, and Annie have killed far more people than Gabi has, but I don't see you crucifying them for their sins. In fact, Annie killed the entire OG Levi squad, which were all well-liked characters.

You are being selective in your bias, and I just don't get it. Nobody is truly innocent in AOT, which is part of what makes it such a great series. Everybody has blood on their hands, but each of them also have some redeemable qualities which makes us root for them, or at least want to see where their journey takes them.

Gabi is far from my favorite character, but I'm still interested to see what part she has to play in the remainder of the story. Your hatred of her is ungrounded if you're gonna give RBA and others passes for the same things you condemn Gabi for. At least be consistent.
