I find Eren to be a monster. I do not blame him for desiring peace, and I agree that the end of all the rest of human kind would stop hate... but only temporarily.

There is a philosophy I go by, always keep something to hate. If all that remains is that of which you love... you will eventually grow to hate it. And it's not because you want to hate it, people need something to hate. We will always hate something. So he wouldn't be able to remove it

Another thing as well... he didn't even attempt other measures to prevent the blood of innocents and good people from being spilled. He went straight to murder. He became no better than those that destroyed the wall at the beginning

I don't think anyone in attack on titan good or bad or evil or righteous eveyone did what they thought was right form their own perspective
some regretted their actions some didn't
As viewer we can judge them but i don't think we can be right with our judgement since we all have some what of a bias towards some characters.

No at his heart, he isn't an evil person. He was just a teenager who went about doing things the wrong way. He had good intentions, but his methods/actions were morally unjustified.

he is evil by our modern standard but that don't mean he is actually evil. he is the result and the equation of his environment and have the power to change it. in a way he act similar as Johan Liebert with how much power they hold can easily affect their environment. the difference lie that Johan is fleshed by his counterpart in his story while Eren we see his viewpoint as he is the MC. Of the two I think Johan Liebert is a better approach to handle that type of characters since it's sound less melo dramatic and more an actual goal and doing everything to get there while retaining less stereotypical aspects.

I don't view him as a fully evil person, nor do I think he is a hero of some sort. I just view him as a person, doing bad actions to further his own personal motives. You see many 'evil' people who genuinely believe the actions they are doing are justified by the ends. This doesn't excuse their actions, and that doesn't mean one should turn a blind eye to the destruction they're causing. But you have to understand that these actions are not done for absolutely no reason, but instead done for a greater cause. The cause can be supported, not the action. I see where Eren is coming from but no one can excuse the fact he is planning to destroy the entire human race apart from the Eldians on Paradis. However, you have followed Eren's journey for three seasons, so you can see where he's coming from; doesn't mean he's good or bad.

“Evil” is kind of a terrible way to conceptualize real people, it serves as an easy way to detach someone’s actions from their humanity.

Eren feels human enough that it’s difficult to write him off in that way. If we view his actions from a detached, consequentialist perspective, then yes, he’s evil. But when you follow his story from the start you don’t view him as such.

So, by virtue of nobody being evil, Eren is not evil.

it really comes to perspective. If we look at it through the vision of world, then he is evil. But if look through the vision of Paradise, then yeah he is a god.

From a utilitarian persepective he's evil, he genocides billions to save maybe 100 million people on the island.

But the story also implies that Eren has no free will, so is anyone truly responsible for their actions?

Such bullshit rationalization, you can't seperate a person's actions from their character. And Eren is not even a real person to begin with.

What are you even talking about? I'm explaining why people don't view Eren as evil even though he does things we all acknowledge are horrible. My point is simply that it's harder to write someone off as "evil" or a "monster" when you understand that person as a human being and not just an evil force.

"Evil" does not exist in reality but does exist in stories. I'm saying that AOT does a good enough job at portraying its characters as humans that the audience does not understand Eren as simply "evil" even when he does obviously monstrous things.

This is not a "rationalization" of Eren's actions, I'm not arguing that what he does is okay or reasonable because he had a tough upbringing or whatever. I'm saying that what he does makes sense to the viewer in a way that doesn't allow us to think of him as simply "evil".

You are still continuing the bullshit rationalizatiın I see. And evil very much exists in real life, so does good.

Not wasting any more time on this since you don’t even understand what I’m saying and don’t want to understand.

Eren Yeager is slave to his own inherent nature
Eren Yeager is slave to his inner nature and his desires
Eren Yeager is slave to the idea of freedom which is Armin's Book.

He is not an evil character, it's been shown many times that everything he does is to protect his friends and its just the way he goes about doing this can be considered evil from a third-person perspective. His motives haven't changed since the start of the show, only the methods have.

I mean, hitlers perspective was the same. All he was doing was protecting the purity of the German race and removing what he considered was a threat. Isn't that the same thing?

I’ll put it in perspective of what Eren has done in my eyes as an anime only watcher:

- Kills everyone discriminating against his friends to create a world of peace
- Allows his friends to keep their powers so if he gets stopped by them they will be heroes who will live a peaceful life

Not too bad.
