U Ever Think Abt How Bnha Has Two Characters Who Have Been Confirmed, Canonly, To Hurt Children For Their

u ever think abt how bnha has two characters who have been confirmed, canonly, to hurt children for their causes, and since one is a hero he gets to have a redemption arc but because the other is a villain, he has his arms mercilessly torn off and his whole life’s work stolen. i mean he deserves it lmao but it’s wildly a double standard in a rly meta way. like, sure, you could say the message is that “one is inherently a good person, thus he chooses to redeem himself, and that’s what makes him deserving of being a hero,” but that ultimately cannot be separated from the fact that he was introduced first and foremost as (1) a hero, and (2) a domestic abuser, and we can’t pretend that there is no personal code of ethics associated with being a hero in bnha that isn’t imposed by its own author. essentially what i’m saying is that there is a good moral judgment placed on being a hero and a bad moral judgment placed on being a villain by the narrative itself, and we can’t ignore that it influences the way these two stories are written. because heroes are good and there’s moral goodness associated with heroism, all faults of heroes no matter how heinous must be shown as worthy of redemption, because they deserve it by being heroes. it’s not because of who he is as a person that the narrative decides to give him this chance, it’s because of what his job is. villains, on the other hand, are forever tainted by their villainy and are not worthy of second chances, they should be immediately and soundly punished. and u kno what that just sounds super real for a sec🤔🤔
