Twitter flagged the video for violating its policies on hate speech, and many Democrats have since called for disciplinary action against Gosar, as they say the video advocates violence targeted toward their political party. The video features the faces of Gosar and several other far-right conservatives, such as Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert, superimposed over the series' Survey Corps protagonists, as they fought and killed several titans, which were edited to feature the faces of Gosar's political rivals, including prominent Democrats such as Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and President Joe Biden.

The armbands went up for preorder online on Sunday before being pulled. The official website for the series announced that it has canceled the release and distribution of official Eldian armbands.
