Did you JUST get here or something? The majority of People in the JAE like
Asuka. Whilst I consider that to be a mistake, it's true.

Next, the fact that more people like Asuka over Rei is the overriding
factor towards the unfortunate circumstance leading to more A/S fics then
R/S.

Rei does NOT lead a normal life, this should be a blatantly painful fact
to you and should invoke the sympathy required to realize that she needs
the love more because of this very fact. Not the complete opposite
attitude stating that because she's apparently emotionally dead, we don't
need to help her.

I sincerely hope that you are not, and never do become a doctor of any
kind or type either in practice or hobby, field or research.
