I can't agree with your post any harder, especially this bit:
Somehow it seems that the overwhelming majority of this fandom is somehow unable to comprehend outside of typical "villain/hero" lines, which I find absolutely depressing in a show that is obviously attempting to subvert that trope as hard as it can.
This is why /a/ and AS make me a sad panda. That and people are constantly unable to separate their own values from that of the characters'. You mean that an omniscient, emotionally-detached viewer would perceive a situation differently than a confused, traumatized teenager? SAY IT AIN'T SO! -_-
