Momtaku, do you believe Erwin is a good person? I've always thought he was, so I'm very surprised when I see lately a lot of threads on the erwin subreddit say that he was morally Gray (eg in dnd alignment and argue he isn't good but neutral, however neutral people are selfish and primarily focused on their own needs while good people care about others and can be altruistic and they basically care about the bit of humanity as well and others while neutral alignment doesn't), because I personally believe you was morally good. As we can see from the series and all the side content, he actually cares for his soldiers and tries to minimize human casualties as much as he can and he does care about the good of humanity as we can see in the show where he actually supports the cast when thry tried to prevent the rumbling, and hanji points out Erwin cared about the rest of humanity.
Should I be surprised when I searched for my old posts in Google I now get an AI Overview summing up everything I've written about Erwin in the last decade? No. But I'm horrified to know that my Tumblr blog has been fed into an LLM.
I agree with everything you say except to add that a good person can also be morally grey. In fact the survey corps consists primarily of good people doing terrible things because the brutality of their life requires it. Erwin is no different in that.
When I see someone online trying to argue that Erwin wasn't a good person, one of the following is true:
They are an edgelord seeking attention
They are trying to use Erwin to make Eren look less terrible.
They ship Levi with someone else.
Thanks for the ask anon. I see you sent me a few so I'll be looking over those as well.
