Shinji is basically the POLAR OPPOSITE of "baddass MC"

Neither is realistic, but it's far more entertaining watching a badass MC then a self loathing, hateful, pathetic, crybaby, coward, etc. who never actually amounts to anything other then being a sad little boy.

I agree. Shinji's wimpiness and general unlikableness is not only unrealistic but also detrimental to the story

Lol how is it unrealistic?

How many people do you know that have basically every trait that would be considered negative? I can only think of shinji, a character who is just as unrealistic as the badass main characters of other shows. Seriously, does he have ANY positive traits at all?

I work retail and I know plenty of people with far more numerous and significant negative personality traits.

Shinji displays bravery at times in the face of death, just like he sometimes shows cowardice. Shinji shows kindness just as much as he shows selfishness. And the end of the show displays is capacity to change for the better, and to reject Instrumentality even though it will lead him to more pain.

But you choose to ignore the subtleties because it doesn't fit your narrative. You want to hate Shinji, but I can only speculate why.
