Its Edited, So Im Confident In This.

It’s edited, so I’m confident in this.

Like wtf is All Might supposed to do? Kill himself? Will that make you happy? I mean. How dare he be alive and work in a school. What a fucking cunt he is. Honestly should just let the villains kill the kids and boom. Problem solved. I mean. It’s not like he saved the world countless times. But fuck him eh

Okay but chill. You're going to have a heart attack. Really. Breath and chill.

He can be the big All Might but he didn't have the proper studies to teach to kids at the UA. Don't go mad about it, it's the truth. He wanted to retire? NICE. Everyone has the right to do so.

But he shouldn't have hided in a school. Why he didn't talk with other heroes to help him and why he didn't make a plan to protect Japan of what was coming? Oh right, because the hero society and hero system don't work like that.

So the hero 1# didn't have anywhere else to go but to a school. And in result, the kids realized they couldn't trust only the adult pro-heroes to protect them, so they started pushing themselves in order to protect his families, his friends and also the professional pro-heroes.

My problem here has always been the safety of the kids. They were 15-16 years old at the beginning of the manga. The became child soldiers. And in the current arc of the manga they are the ones carrying the weight of society because the adults are unable to do so.

And this all started with All Might, even if you doesn't like it.

He saved the world because HE WANTED to save the world, no one pushed him to do so. And even when people should be grateful, he's not a god. He's very mortal. With flaws and mistakes. And All Might is another victim of the hero system, but that doesn't excuse how he pushed the UA kids into a war. By sharing the responsibility with Izuku, immediately class 1-A passed to bear that responsibility too. And class 1-B suffered from the consequences too. And the whole new generations.

You're over simplifying all of this. Stop seeing things in black and white and learn that humans are complex and have many aspects. Humans are like Shrek, like onions, they have layers lol.

Remember that.

I need to know @gentrychild, are you an alien?

Just dropped a homophobic "friend"

This is actually his screen shot. I don't know where the original screen shot was taken, all I know is that he posted it on his discord server.

I was, originally (before I confronted him) going to give him a second chance. But then I actually thought about it, and read his response (spam and apologies that made no sense). Why the fuck would I deal with his bull shit and give him the satisfaction of having me come back? Hell no.

Thanks for reading. I hope no one else has to get rid of friends because of something like this.

Things that hit different after Touya's backstory reveal

I gotta give credit where credit is due. MVA is one of the best and most well written arcs of the series not because it's villain focused but because Horikoshi truly built it well. There's a lot of foiling going on and each League member gets a turn at being confronted by their shadow, or in other words, by a certain narrative they're trying to reject. For Toga, it's the idea that she's a deviant, someone whose "normal" isn't normal for everyone else. For Spinner, it's the fact that he's weak on his own and can only lend support to others. And for Dabi, it's the desperation to prove the worth of his quirk to someone who wants to exploit it for their own gain. But this scene in particular really hits different now:

when you have the full context for it. Before the reveal, the most commonly accepted theory concerning Touya's "death" was a training accident. Basically, the result of Endvr pushing him too hard. So the foiling with Geten worked, but not 100%. You saw Geten's desperation to prove his worth to an army that just considers him a pawn and thought: well, for Dabi the training had to be a duty. Surely, there was never a point in time where Touya decided to train on his own in order to satisfy his abuser's wishes and make him proud.

Right?

Well, Hori says. Think again.

And the foiling doesn't even stop there, but it's also told in the small details. For example, it's the fact that Geten had enough of an emotional attachment to Redestro to unlock a power up of his quirk in order to be helpful, to be of assistance to Redestro in times of need.

… In a fashion that's not too dissimilar to how Touya unlocked the blue flames in a highly emotional situation where he just wanted to prove useful to his father.

Another prominent aspect of the foiling between those two is the pressure to achieve perfection and how much it shaped their whole life. Those who get to sit at the top of the Liberation Army are held to a standard of “worthiness” and strength that's frankly inhumane. And they're asked to keep it up to avoid "disappointing" their boss, because, hint hint nudge nudge, they'd be replaced. We can infer this from a number of hints:

It's the fact that Skeptic frenetically insists that he only ever failed once, and then promptly tries to turn his shortcoming into a chance to succeed and make Redestro proud again.

This insane standard of perfection is also shown in Geten's words:

If you don't have a strong enough superpower to be of use to the cause, then your existence is as good as meaningless. Sounds familiar, yet?

To Touya, his life lost all its purpose when he was tossed away, because Endvr held all his children to the impossible standard of carrying his ambition without any “imperfections”:

And being unable to meet it meant being worthless. Cause again, for pre-atonement Endvr and the Meta Liberation Army, “a person's only worth lies in the strength of their superpowers.” As further emphasized by the way Geten's words directly parallel Endvr's mindset.

So when Dabi reacts with homicidal rage to Geten's taunts, he's not just reacting to the umpteenth reminder of his status as a “failed masterpiece”. He's also rejecting the naivety of his past self, and of that boyish wish to please his father that never quite got fully overwritten

So basically... chapeau, Hori. You got me there. Well done foreshadowing only hits you at your second reread, and I have to admit that mva really delivers on that front
