I love all the characters in BNHA (*cough* except Endeavor, Ujiko, AFO, Mineta, Redestro, and Overhall *cough*)
I love all of them, I really do. Heros, Villans, Civillians, Vigilanties. I love them all.
I know I’m going to have mixed emotions whenever the final Heros v. Villains arc actually happens because I do love them all.
I love all of these characters with all of my heart and it pains me to see people be attacked because of a character they like.
As you may or may not know (but how couldn’t you know, honestly) I’m not the biggest fan of Endeavor. I can acknowledge that he is an interesting character and that he can appeal to some people in that sense, but I don’t like him. And that’s fine, I don’t have to. But what I’m not going to do is attack someone who does like him, I may not agree but I won’t attack someone that does because they’re entitled to their opinion.
The same goes for those who like the villains.
I can’t tell you how many times I see people post viciously about the villains or attack inboxes of people who are vocal about liking them.
Believe it or not, but in BNHA, there is no Black and White, it’s just as grey as the real world.
Shigaraki, Twice, Compress, Magne, Toga, Dabi, Spinner, and Kurogiri are all relatable and likable characters. They are murderers, yes, but they are also outcasts of society who were oftentimes left with villainy as an only option.
Izuku says in the first chapter/episode that not all men are created equal and that is a major theme of BNHA.
We are shown time and time again that people are treated poorly because of their quirks or lack there of. Midoriya because of his quirklessness, Shinsou because of his “villainous” quirk, Dabi because of his incompatible quirk, Fuyumi and Natsuo because they have the “wrong” quirks, Spinner because of his Mutant quirk, Shouto because he has the “perfect” quirk, Toga because her quirk is “inhumane,” it goes on and on.
And you might say that a lot of Heros have faced adversity, and you’re right, they have, but they also had privileges afforded to them because of their quirks. This doesn’t excuse terrible acts but it makes it understandable.
You can like characters and not agree with their actions I like both Hawks and Dabi but I don’t agree with all of their actions. Both have done terrible things, some things that some people might call inexcusable and I agree. But I still like them, because I relate to them.
Having differing options is fine, but don’t attack someone because of their favorite character. You don’t know what that character means to them or what they see in that character. You don’t know what is going on in their life and how that character is helping them through it.
Instead of spreading hate, spread the love we share for BNHA. That’s what makes us a community, the shared love we have for it. If you continue to spread hate and toxicity don’t be suprized of you’re the only one left. It’s happened before, and it will again.
