Why marley's characters and specifically Gabi do not deserve the extreme hatred from the AOT fandom

A thread
( spoiler warning be caught up to episode 8 of s4 )

Small note I'll be covering a topic concerning a wider range of problems towards AOT and not just Gabi ! but she is a prime leading example

First I just wanna establish gabi's profile to remind people of aspects they probably forgot

Gabi is a 12 year old Eldian Girl, now the eldians of marley have been since birth fed the idea that the eldians of the island are devils for their horrendous sins past

Getting the world rid of the eldians of the island has been the Marley Eldian's only way of clearing his name and becoming an honorable citizen with the same rights as everyone else around him

To them and the world, the eldians of the island paradis are nothing but devils and we as spectators from a 3rd perspective cannot judge any belief these character have held onto

So in this show EVERYBODY....in their own eyes...THEY are the victims of the suffering and the other side is a DEVIL

there is no evil and justice

Everyone is the devil in the eyes of another, everyone is innocent in the eyes of their own

Back to little Gabi who as we said is a child of marley's eldians

Gabi's biggest hate factor towards her comes from the fact that she kills sasha in the attack on marley

Now to Gabi's ideology this is an honorable act or revenge

To the scouts of paradis, it's murder

Again I ask of u to watch this from the shoes of every side before making a judgment as no single answer can be correct

In gabi's shoes, the eldian devils have invaded marley and seek to lay it to ruin and simply escape

The little girl is a very brave and forward

person who would do anything to protect her close ones

in a way, similar to our main character eren Yeager who has done similar tasks in the past

so trying to kill one of the scouts is a very reasonable thing that would come to a mind such as hers

Now I like sasha don't get me wrong but if I can't put myself in the position of Gabi who in 1 phrase can be called a Brainwashed ChildSoldier, I cant understand what isayama sensei intended in this part of his story

A morally gray world where all is guilty yet all is innocent

In a way its similar to our world and how we perceive religion, its a history long past with so little evidence to back up it's credibility

Each religion colors a diffrent story leaving behind it's own victims and perpetrators

Many religions contradict each other and as a leading example for AOT, the bloodshed, bigotry, xenophobia and fueds have been past down many generations to our present day

Who are we to claim another man's ideology is wrong and based on what evidence
Ppl still fail to sympathize

They fail to understand each other, they cannot insert themselves in a perspective different than theirs and yet they can foolishly claim an opposer's lack of credibility in their belief when they lack in their own

now eren has seen the cycle of hatred, eren is the only character that truly sees the world in the same place we watch from

The Scouts have invaded marley and committed multiple war crimes, but you cannot blame them.

They'd rather go fight than wait and die

but does that excuse them the massacre they caused? in my opinion I don't believe so many innocents deserved to die

What marley has done to the island is horrible but do not forget that Eldia was the original oppressor

Not marley

again? Does that excuse marley's acts to paradis? No it does not

The torch of oppression never went out , the balance of the table was never stable

One side always dominated the other as if it truly was a kingdom of predators

In simpler words

Big fucks small

Would you kill an innocent man just because he wears a diffrent flag?

You who claims to be the victim?

Who is the victim anyways?marley who abused paradis and casted misery upon them for a century

or eldia who oppressed the world with their titan power for generations

Neither, if you ask me both sides are guilty but if u ask me again I might preach innocence on their names

They have one choice and that is to survive, whatever happens they have to survive because in Eren and Willy's words : They were born into this world

You can chose to blindly hate a character for killing your favorite potato girl, its just an anime in the end

but I would so humbly request you understand the weight of this topic and how much it reflects on our world today before you seek your judgment

To wrap up I'll recite mahatma ghandi's words

" The essence of all belief is one, Only their approaches are diffrent "

now ofcourse I cannot blame you for being mad at Gabi, I can't blame you for being attached to Sasha cause indeed I like her too and did feel terrible when she died

But this is a matter of understanding the situation and knowing that blind hatred is just ignorant

I won't address the latter arc that has yet to be adapted into anime but the same reasoning applies to the actions of all marley's characters

A battle of ideologies built on fake history

If u come to blame any character in this story u have failed to understand it

Thank you for reading i hope this atleast shed a light on what I want to say in defending this little girl and the blind hatred for marley characters who if being on the protagonist's side would inarguably be highly praised and adored characters by the medium

Peace out
