I'm not involved with the fandom nor really looked for extra material on the series, how bad is Rei's sexualisation (both in fandom and out)? Does Asuka get the same treatment or is it just Rei?
no subject
They both get it. It's kind of a famous thing actually haha. I don't how familiar you are with anime merchandise though, but do a search for this series, and nearly everything is Rei and Asuka figures, and Rei and Asuka in pinups, and so on and so forth.

Passive-aggressive? Who, me? Nah.But I really do like it, and it's the first default icon I didn't get tired seeing after two weeks, so. :Pno subject

If you go to hobby shops in Japan they're just teeming with sexy Asuka and Rei merch. It drives me batty, actually - most of the Eva merch (figures, posters, body pillows...) is just Asuka and Rei looking sexy and completely ploughs over their characters and the other elements of the show. Not to mention that I think I've seen like... one figure ever for Shinji, AND HE'S THE MAIN CHARACTER. I guess he isn't a sexy girl so he doesn't get merch!
The merchandising for Eva just makes me crazy. It's all about capitalizing on Asuka and Rei's sex appeal (and let us remember that they're both like... 14 or 15 fffff). I feel like it's creepy and is completely missing the point of the show. I put a lot of it on the same level as like Slave Leia for the degree which fanboys and marketing teams have just turned them into fetish fuel at the expense of character and meaning. Ugh.
I USED TO LOVE EVA BUT god I hate the marketing.

(Anonymous) 2012-02-25 04:31 am (UTC)(link)There's also lots of of Rei having sex with strangers for money, so in the end every guy at school who has a crush on her can have her for a certain price ("every" fanboy's dream, I reckon), and she moves on to the next guy right away or is "seeing" several men at once. I don't know why Japanese fanboys like her in the role of a prostitute so much, but there you have it. I guess they're thinking: "No strings attached sex with that hottie? Easy, I only need to pay her! No emotional baggage, no "girlfriend talk" afterwards, etc." The fact she's so silent and completely submissive only turns them on more.
