That's...nice? It doesn't make him any less of a self-centered asshole. He's a victim of his own circumstances etc but frankly after that, I really could not bring myself to care about any of his drama.

You can't really call him a self-centered asshole when he's incapable of doing otherwise. Well. I mean, you can, but it's the same as calling a mentally ill person an asshole for going off on you in a manic state. It's beyond their control.

By the age of fourteen one's decision-making capabilities are sufficiently developed that they can be held accountable for their behavior, and his behavior in this regard was, in my opinion, well above and beyond what can be excused by his age and mental state.

It depends on the kid, really. Legal field says yes, psychology says no, so I think we're at an impasse here.

I doubt you'll find a reliable psychologist who'll say that teenagers are entirely incapable of being held accountable for their behavior. Just because their decision-making skills are not yet fully developed does not mean that they're socially inept by default.

Not entirely incapable -- of course not. But throw one into a stunning, possibly traumatic situation with someone that they've never had a good relationship with, and then on top of that tell them "Okay, now, I want you to pilot this giant robot against this other giant robot," and you're going to have a kid that's freaking out severely and not making the most rational decisions.

(But why am I defending this kid? I don't actually like him.)

Yeah, but irrational decisions aren't my problem with him. It's the way he completely ignored the fact that there was a decision to be made, and went right to whining about how Gendo had abandoned him. He didn't say a work about the giant robot, or the Angel, or anything, until afterwards.

Ah, see, I can't really comment on that because it's been a hella long time since I've seen the first few episodes and don't remember the specifics of that. I just remember Rei being carted out and his agreeing after that.

Yeah, here's how it went, pretty much word for word:

Gendo: I want you to pilot a giant robot and save the world.
Shinji: BAWWWWW WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME
Gendo: I don't have time for this. Either get in the damn robot or go home.
