Some instances that I feel show how some messages MHA are detrimental, especially on how victims react to their abuser, can be gauged by responses that tend to be highly prevalent in the fandom.

(Definitely not every fan, but a great majority).

Endeavor is a great example. Whenever you post criticizing his approach to atonement (and ultimately criticizing Horikoshi’s writing), you get BOMBARDED by people either belittling you for not liking his character or essentially forcing you to like his character by frantically writing “at least he tried” arguments.

If I have the CHOICE whether to forgive his character or not, especially given he goes through an atonement arc and not a redemption arc, why is any form of criticism about his abusive behavior and essentially his abuse of power practically ignored by the story unacceptable?

The message was detrimental because people operate on the notion that for victims to be good people, they must forgive and even help their abusers. MHA presents people who choose not to forgive him as either a monster (Toya) or inconvenient (Natsuo). And if they are still unforgiving, they must admire the abuser for doing the bare minimum (taking responsibility; this is also about Natsuo).

Essentially, they are considered "imperfect victims" because they weren't merciful in their approach to their abuser.

The majority of the fandom tends to ignore the lack of actual consequences for Endeavor's actions because he vows to talk to Toya every day. Insisting that doing the bare minimum, which is recognizing his son's existence and suffering, became his "hell" is a wildly fucked up message, in my opinion.

It harps on the issue mentioned above that if a victim isn't receptive to forgiveness or doesn't act "demure," they are seen as an inconvenience—which is how the Todoroki family ultimately views Toya.

On a less critical note, I'll vent, so if you don't like this, just ignore it.

I'm so fucking tired of stories depicting imperfect victims as people who deserve death and torture. Plus, having to be on the brunt of so many people acting like you're morally fucked because you're not impressed with how a writer handled abuse. Horikoshi is not the first writer to try to atone a character who is an abuser (and he isn't the first to fail at that, either).

I'm not about to dick-ride every decision every author makes. Especially if the message convinces some audience members that victims are inherently broken if they can't bring themselves to forgive and/or admire someone who hurt them.

Super rambly post incoming

Their dynamic is super interesting, man. The comments here pointed out that Lorenzo is the only one to call Kaiser by a nickname of his first name; "Micha"

Dude. What great dynamic characterisation. Considering how Kaiser wants to be seen as grander than and how his name (Michael = gift from God, Kaiser = Emperor. Or as dude bros say "God's chosen emperor) fits into that general aura- dude... Lorenzo not calling him by either of those things- but instead this cute little pet name?

Hello??? He still calls Ness "Ness", yknow?

Damn... They've got a little kick to them

Curious question how do we feel about Kaiser x Lorenzo?

What are dj wife and dj son’s quirks

DJSJDJSJS ok so Disco Tits and Baby Boombox are the wonderful creations from the mind of @jutsuuu, so I rlly wanna hear their thoughts on this question fjdjdj

but if you want my two cents. well. characters in BNHA often have names relating to their quirks, so. disco tits. i’ll let you extrapolate there. & their beautiful bouncing baby Boombox? a mix of both their quirks <3

What's this noir au you speak of?

I sent a screenshot of this to my friend and he said "oh they fucked up"

I have another post explaining some of the more graphic parts of my AU, but here's another post in attempt to write it better!!

This AU is a continuation of literally every comic minus the noir fanservice ones (2020) because those aren't him that's ITSV noir and I stand by that. So this takes place after Spider-Geddon, ight? So a fair amount of time has passed and he's seen even more horrors. And boy oh boy have the horrors plagued him. He's gone textbook definition psychotic. Before you get any ideas, this is in no way glorifying psychosis. I know firsthand how disturbing the experience can be, and a lot of this is me transcribing my own experiences if I'm being honest.

So, he's psychotic. And can you blame the guy? You can only take so much of the people around you getting killed (and eaten) before it takes a toll. But don't you guys worry, my biggest pet peeve is when characters aren't written realistically or out of character. He's always had incredibly strong morals, and I don't intend on changing them; just amping them up by 1000.

So he gets back from literally fucking dying in Spider Geddon (okay I am taking some things from the 2020 comics because I'm not THAT creative) and just wants a hug from Aunt May, only to be rejected. And not just "no, you're supposed to be dead" rejection, oh no. I'm talking disgust. She shuts the door on him, she can barely look him in the eyes without feeling even more hatred for the kid she thought she once knew. And this crushes Peter, as it would anyone. So he goes to the next person he can think of: Mary Jane. Oops, she died overseas. So he goes to the Robertsons who let him in with warmth. Yeah that's right, I'm not a total fucking asshat. But Robbie still is lobotomized so all poor Petey can do is cry on his lap. Idc what anyone says, he does this at least once a week since it happened because I said so.

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT! IT'S OKAY BECAUSE HE HAS A CAT! So he's still sane at this point. He continues on with his miserable life the best he can… which is not great. He can barely afford rent, none of his cases are working out, and he slowly begins to isolate himself out of disappointment. The only time he goes out is as Spider-Man because despite how Aunt May feels, it's the only time where he can be himself. It's the only time where he can just… run. From everything. From his personal life, from his work life, from his miserable state. The only thing that's really keeping him together is those moments of freedom and his cat. Until she dies. That's right, the cat dies.

Everything holding him together, everything that kept him from just abandoning everything, is gone. NOW cue the psychosis. I meant it when I said the cat was all that was holding him together. Because now nothing makes sense. It's just not fair. Now everything is a nightmare. He can't find a single speck of joy in his life. Scratch that, he can't even feel anything. He's nothing but numb.

Till one classic, cliché night (you won't believe this), a robbery occurs (Bro thought he could avoid a robbery that drastically changes his entire way of life 💀💀💀). Unfortunately for the robber, fortunately for Peter, beating the mook up made him feel something.

So he kept doing it. Going out of his way to punch the bad guys. But like any high, it comes down. The adrenaline runs off and the thrill leaves you empty once more. And eventually punching bad guys doesn't cut it anymore. He digs up some cases where he knows the son of a gun got away with it, and decided to put justice into his own hands. So when he finally took an asshats life, he felt alive for the first time in god knows how long.

But once more, it wears off. Just shooting someone isn't enough. Yeah, taking a life is intense, but they deserve more. These are the scum of the earth he's looking for, and getting shot is mercy. Mercy he doesn't have. Not anymore.

Okay, but

The way Bucks face fits perfectly between Eddies neck and shoulder

God tier canon detail, honestly.

Can we talk about the fact that Vaggies backstory/falling in love with Charlie is just a really, really fucked up version of little miss perfect?

being anti-divorce is so fucking bonkers to me like yeah i think you're morally obligated to stay with some shithead who you hate forever. this is a normal and healthy thing to believe. let's have kids together and force them to grow up being raised by two people who hate each other. yeah this might fuck them up mentally during the most formative years of their life but it's the morally righteous thing to do. if there's one thing god loves it's traumatized children. i'm getting into heaven for sure

liking lord of the flies but also being dumb is rlly funny bc i spend half my time inserting them into anime and the other half inserting them into vines

Has anyone made a vines lotf compilation on youtube? someone had to have there’s no way

Am I Old?

Petycja, żeby rozpisać semi-realistic timeline One Piece, która będzie jakiegoś rodzaju pomostem między przygodową naturą serii, która stara się ignorować upływ czasu, tym jak wszystkim randomowo znikają rany kiedy tylko jest to wygodne i tym jak najwidoczniej Law po miesiącu siedzenia w chatce z drewna i sprzedawania pierogów przeszedł z "nie jestem w stanie zrobić bąbelka większego niż dom" do "masterowałem teraz mój diabelski owoc" bo irl minęło jakieś 6 lat i Oda ma dwieście nowych pomysłów które chce wykorzystać.

yeah, I guess they’re not hiding from YOU - just from the consequences of what you did

Well, all right, I'll give ya that!

something that confuses me in tadc is that no one feels pain in the digital circus right? (except for getting touched by abstra monster thingies or turning one yourself) SO WHY DID ZOOBLE'S HAND HURT IN THAT SCENE IN EP 4 WHEN THEY USED THEIR HAND AS A SPATULA??? so what, do they get hurt but not die? ragatha literally got stabbed with knives and thrown in a deep fryer and was fine like she did find it inconvenient tho, so I guess now that I think about it I guess that's what zooble felt too?? not exactly painful, but just inconvenient, maybe 'pain' there by objects just feel like little electric shocks
