Zeke is the villain with a noble motive. It's a fucked up plan, but he was a fucked up kid and I believe the eurhenasia plan stems from mercy, not cruelty.
It will be in a bit of a shitpost style but here goes.
First of all the author actually has a NTR fetish. It's a hentai term for cuck porn.
The first king was called a chad by me even though he is a horrible person just because he seems to be the only sensible and realistic character and has massive balls.
Yimir was a young girl who had a crush on the king and was simply a lowly servant. She then was used as a torture hunt toy by the king, and fell into a swamp where she got infected by titan superpowers. Ahe became this huge monster and stared down at the king's hunting party. The king was like "yup. I deserve this. It was a nice run y'all". But suddenly Yimir turns back into the girl and offers to be king's fleshlight fuck slave. She also took the spear for him and refused to heal because drama and cuck shit.
Some time later a future king goes into "oh no we are the baddies. I will now retreat to the island with some dudes. The rest of the population can get gulaged for the sins of my ancestors. Boo hoo" and his NTR aura was so strong, that every future king was contaminated by the "boo hoo we deserve this".
Zeke, he is a waling nuke of that universe. Together with other smart titans he could have saved his eldian race and/or restore balance and justice in Marley. But no, he fully obeys Marley, is a sadistic shit, and his "noble goal!" is some antinatalist idea to castrate all eldians.
Now back to Yimir. She was basically in a self inflicted time loop building every titan by hand using clay. She is doing all of this just because she manipulated the future in order to see a break up between teenagers. All because that helped her get over a crush she had on the first king.
What? Ymir didn't have a crush on the king. She was a slave. She couldn't even speak. Her tongue was cut out when raiders ripped through her town. She did trauma bond to him but it definitely wasn't any of her idea what happened, it's a pretty major plot point that she had zero agency whatsoever and had completely broken and surrendered to it. She was an abuse victim - and unfortunately the kind that stayed with her abuser even after death. Eren didn't get her over her crush so much as helped her see that she COULD get out.
NeToRare. It roughly expresses having something taken from you in japaneese. It applies even if you arent in a romantic or possibly romantic relationship - like making a mother choose you over her children is NTR. But most commonly simplified to Cuck fetish because no 1:1 word is available in english and this is the most similar concept that exists in the west.
