As I Am On A Posting Spree Tonight, I Thought Id Talk About The Problems With The My Hero Fandom. No,

as i am on a posting spree tonight, i thought id talk about the problems with the my hero fandom. no, not the bigger, more “popular” ones like the heavy sexualisation of literal teenagers, or the toxic shippers that push their opinion onto everyone. nope, tonight im talking about the todoroki/jeanist/hawks issue.

note: id like to announce that in NO WAY do i hate, or am trying to “come at” any stans of the characters ive mentioned. this is just what ive noticed recently, it is not meant to attack anyone.

the 5 things that are bothering me, and questions i see thrown around

1.) the endeavor apologist debate: is he fine now because he’s sad? was it just his fault or is the whole family to blame?

2.) the todoroki family arguement: if i like/stan the characters, am i an abuse apologist? 

3.) best jeanist and what he’s said: am i still allowed to like him, even if hes affiliated with “bad” characters?

4.) the hawks issue: is he a bad person? can i like him even after all the bad things he did?

5.) dabi and his trauma: is it an excuse for his behavior? does it condemn him more? 

i can't answer any of these questions, but there is one thing that nobody seems to be able to grasp recently. my hero academia is not a show in black and white. there ARE morally grey situations and there ARE morally grey characters.

it’s up to you what the answers are. its up to you, who is bad and good.

to quote one of my favorite musicals of all time: “you decide what’s right, you decide what’s good.”

i think we ought to be seeing the show not in heroes and villains, black and white, but entirely in grey until you can decide for yourself. 

ALSO!! dont let the fandom dictate everything you decide! i mean sure, it's nice to get input from others but if you feel like, for example, dabi is right and hawks was wrong, but user226378 thinks differently, thats ok!! that's what fandom is for, and you can always take a break too. sometimes i get caught up in the wave of drama too, and it can be difficult to stick to your opinions. 

anyways, thanks for reading this (even if you skimmed it like i definitely would have). i love this show to death but it’s hard to when controversy sweeps you up. have a lovely day guys,, <3. go drink some water, dont stay up too late, ily!!!!!

when i was younger, only 3 or 4, if i would sit alone in my house for too long, i could close my eyes and listen to everyone. usually it was just my mom at home with me, but i could hear dozens of voices. eventually, i began seeing people out of the corner of my eye, or if i squinted in the kitchen. at some point, i was able to match names and faces to the voices, and i’d tell my mom about them. the very last time i ever heard them, a tall lady, a gorgeous woman, came to my door in the middle of the night and called me lola. then she turned around and left. 

the house we were living in at the time had just been built maybe 5 years before by my grandfather, and no-one had ever gotten sick there, much less died there.

i think the one i miss most was a young boy and girl, who's names i’ve forgotten, who would joke around a lot and they knew my name best. it actually makes me really sad just remembering them because i feel so guilty forgetting. 

anyways, that happened and my mom still can confirm that i talked about the people all the time.

i just had the weirdest moment, i was feeling my front teeth with my tongue because they’re the tiniest bit crooked, and then i had the thought “i’ll check if they’re also crooked in my other mouth” and then i realized to my shock and confusion that i have only one mouth, leading me to believe that in a past life i was a terrible monster with two mouths
