How Many Times Do U Think They Watched The New Sonic Movie

Just How "Weak” is Dabi? (Or: Lots of Thoughts on Marginalization in My Hero Academia)

I got an interesting ask about the way that Dabi relates to his limitations and how the manga repeatedly calls attention to the fact that he is weak, and I think this whole issue is fascinating, so I’m going to try to break down some thoughts on it. If Horikoshi carries through on even half the promise these tendrils of plot could hold, it would be a very refreshing take on villains, which types of characters are allowed to qualify as “threatening,” and what it really means to be a marginalized person in a “super” society.

UGHHHHUHHHGUGHHHUGHHUHUGG i love the overhaul arc of mha SOOOOO much this is my favorite season by far i just love how even though the shie hassaiki operates in “a moral gray area”, they seem infinitely more evil than the league of villains

the league of villains has morals and restrictions, generally keeping innocent people and bystanders out of harm (tho not always obviously)

but the hassaiki seems so incredibly evil for child abuse and trafficking. it’s so bizarre to me how the supposed morally gray villains are so incredibly evil and hated by almost everyone.

i also adore eri and her story, how she truly was saved not just physically but emotionally. and i like seeing how even heroes doubt themselves, how mirio doubted himself about not stepping in and originally helping eri. self doubt and questioning is a true sign of heroism in my mind.

also i like that the league kills overhaul. deserved tbh. i don’t want to see anyone from the league die because they all have potential for redemption, but overhaul definitely did not after killing magne.

spent slightly too much time thinking about katsuki again help man I am having feelings

BNHA Meta

me: because you have this story set in this superhero world, but like, the horrors of modern Japanese society are still very much present

me: (like why the hell would a highly individualized quirk society still be using family registration and koseki? the reason is because Horikoshi is Japanese and didn't think that was weird, much like when Americans toss around their Imperial measuring system willy-nilly, but it says something about BNHA as a window to modern Japan)

me: Mental illness is seen as something shameful and to hide away from

me: I mean, it's crazy that Todo's mom was in that hospital for 10 years. like most modern psychiatric facilities would promote rehabilitating a patient back into their life way earlier

me: the fact that Todoroki implies that he has to save her from the hospital says A LOT about her situation. she's probably been totally abandoned by her family thanks to the mental health stigma/the fact Endeavor managed to charm them into making her marry him to begin with

me: (also how wealthy Endeavor is to be able to fund her permanent stay and yet how empty and cold her room is)

me: (even terminally ill people don't stay in the hospital that long, it's so expensive and no hospice wants to tear someone totally out of their normal life)

me: (so like I said, honestly terrifying)

me: (like Endeavor is the worst but also, fuck Todomama's family. They clearly didn't do shit for their daughter.)

me: It's still a shonen and they don't criticize society so much as the individual but the implications are so important and it becomes fascinating to pull apart because there's so much of the modern Japanese fantasy and reality mixed up in this superhero world

me: like the hero culture in HeroAca has startling parallels to the horrifically exploitative idol culture in Japan

me: kind of the hyper commercialization of personalities and the idea of rankings being some be all, end all

which paired with, instead of a sexualized consumption, but a consumption of violence, is kind of startling

me: (well there's still sexualized consumption because the treatment of women as sexual objects is rampant even here)

me:in some ways, it's almost hunger games esque, this commercialization of violence and the audience participation in this act
