Piracy is good and you should do more of it. Try https://everythingmoe.com/ for streaming, and https://nyaa.si/ for torrents. Piracy is the only means of digital protest that audiences have to fight poor worker treatment.

I wouldn't say EVA was satirizing it, rather that it was aware of what a premise like that would actually lead to and drew the logical conclusions by doing character development along the lines of each child soldier's trauma response.
I watched a news segment about a kid taunting a burglar he shot (no not the onion skit) and I am now convinced there are many kids who'd get a chuckle out of killing people (and aliens); none of the adults around him were fazed by it, and the cops wanted to give him an award.
A real life Shinji would shoot an alien with his mecha and taunt it while it dies.
