>emotionless and submissive
But she's neither, she's simply too autistic to even process her emotions in the beginning, let alone express them. As for being submissive she's cold as ice towards Shinji until she warms up to him over time through coming to actually like him. She's only "submissive" towards Gendo, the father-figure who's been her soul source of affection for most of her life, and once she realises that he's been using her in EoE she drops him like a sack of shit. The entire reason people disliked Rei Q is because she actually does embody that blank slate with no personal agency.
Is being a fan of Rei missing the point?

Rei isn't even really a character in the normal sense, she's more of a symbol. She also barely ever appears on screen. After watching the show I found all the arguing over who's better to be really weird.

>She’s the choice of people who want to escape from human interaction and want a pet to mold however they see fit.
Liking a character doesn't completely reveal everything about your own personality. It's ridiculous logic.

This.

Rei is like Jesus alter. It should be obvious why she would be popular.

Yes. And is right. You're not supposed to fan or waifu anyone, otherwise you're the viewer Anno hates and makes fun of.
