Re NGE: I wouldn't go that far. Personally I think it rather subverts otaku expectations. Shinji is pathetic, and remains so for the entire series, the whole thing is just a spiral downwards.
And to address Rei specifically, how can she be pure wish fulfillment when she's a clone of Shinji's mom.
NGE is way too twisted to be dismissed as "just pandering". And a lot of your criticisms are about things that are actually just tropes of Mecha Anime, and go with the territory.
Or are you not being entirely serious? (Poe's law...)
