Misato wasn’t a pedo.
The whole show revolves around people who are starved of attention to the point of isolation.
Misato wasn’t in love with Shinji, she was desperate for connection.
It’s the same reason Shinji strangles Asuka, and the reason Asuka let’s him.
Everyone is so broken that they’ll take what they can get, even if the physical contact betrays their virtues.
I think forgiveness is the wrong metric. It’s simply about understanding.
If someone ate my child to survive, I would probably never forgive them, but I could understand.
As this post illustrates, society deems female predators as less of a moral threat. If this post was from the POV of a woman saying “where were all the pedos when I was a teen” people would lose their shit.
I’m a victim of this intuition myself, though I justify it by considering the potential for physical abuse is much higher with men, even though mentally, statutory rape is probably comparable.
