I'm confused. Did I miss something in the manga where Reiner and everyone else were "forced" to do anything?
I mean, there's societal pressure to hate your own kind and to hate yourself for being said kind (Eldian), so it's a driving factor to want to be a soldier for Marley and to become a Titan shifter.
But were they truly forced to do it?
Brainwashed in a way? Yes.
Forced? I don't see how, unless I missed the part in the manga where Eldians were required to join the program.
