sometimes in shipping villain/hero discussions i feel like the only person who is okay with the bad guy staying bad. like redemption arcs are cool and i do enjoy it when i'm in the mood. but a lot of times i'm way more down with exploring the fictional toxic dynamic of an unrepentant villain absolutely obsessed with the good guy. or the hero struggling with yearning against their will for someone who's committed war crimes. idk

Stanning a villain and/or a villain/hero ship is honestly so funny because every now and again you will see a post by someone who has nothing better to do with their time than post about the things they hate, hoping that the villain will commit more atrocities so their fans will, I don’t know, see the light and stop loving them and stop shipping them.
Just, fundamentally showing that they really-really have no idea what loving a villain is about?
The atrocities are sexy. The atrocities are part of the appeal. We like the atrocities in this house.
Kind of the point of loving a villain is loving that they are a villain. Which, ya know, includes the atrocities. 😂 😂 😂

Hawks is the worst MHA character next to endeavor
There is no excuse for how disgustingly wrong this man is, those who stan him have your reasons that I’ll never understand, but you cannot justify him killing twice. 
And most are probably going to say, ‘twice would have killed more people if he didn’t’
Bullshit
Twice was badly injured and running to save his friends, he most likely only thought of protecting his friends and getting them out of there
Hawks killed him in cold blood, he could have gone after Dabi, the one who is clearly a bigger threat, especially when in went around the flames and attack twice, why not attack dabi from behind? 
There is no justifying hawks’ actions, no matter what people say, he is still in the wrong
Toga summed it up perfectly when she was talking about his death
Aren’t heroes supposed to protect people? And help them? Are twice and all the rest of not people? 
Aren’t heroes not allowed to kill? It really goes against everything a hero stands for, because all the other heroes aimed to disarm or knock out so they could arrest the villains, but apparently hawks missed that during all that training he did growing up
And not to mention him ignoring the kid who saved his sorry ass after he killed twice, I bet Tokoyami wouldn’t have jumped in if he saw what was happening before

Heroes are quintessentially rebels
And the Marvel and DC Heroes of today are no longer rebels.
They are costumed propaganda machines who maintain the status quo of corruption and oppression while claiming to fight for justice.
Their great power is used to protect corrupt power structures.
They support what they purport to fight against.
Villains are the Heroes of today, and the Heroes have lived long enough to see themselves become the villains.

anakin stans and kylo stans should be friends and dont hate me as kylo ren aka ben solo fan because anakin would be doting grandfather of ben
Lmfao the only thing that went through my head for hours when I first saw this ask is @stealingpotatoes fanart where Anakin introduces himself as Kylo Ren and Rey's grandfather. Pretty much the vibes I'm picturring hahaha, I love it so much.
Anyway, yes, you're absolutely right. Excusing some villain faves and vilifying other villain faves is absolutely unacceptable for many reasons, but a couple that come to mind...
(1) There is absolutely no action that makes someone "irredeemable." The only requirement for redemption is the conviction to stop doing bad and start doing good. (Here's a lovely post @kcrabb88 made in detail about this for your pleasure.)
(2) People who pit villains against each other are just trying to avoid the spotlight on their own misogynist behavior. We all know that fans of villains (like Kylo Ren and Loki and Snape) are hated not because there's anything wrong with being stanning those characters but rather because societal perception is that they're exclusively the favorite characters of silly teenage girls (and even if that were true, I would still ask "wtf is wrong with silly teenage girl having interests in the first place" 🙄).
I'm not ever going to fall into the trap of it being "acceptable" to like The Winter Soldier but "ridiculous" to like Loki, and I'm not going to love Vader while making fun of Kylo Ren either. :) We are allies, not enemies, no matter how much the discourse tries to separate us.
In short, I'm with you, friend. We will stand together on this hill because we are smart, intelligent people and we know that our hills are only part of the same larger hill. :) ♡

The List
Danny knew he couldn't keep the existence of the ghosts a secret forever. The GIW was a clear example of that, they had managed to disband the organization but there were always traces left behind that made him anxious.
Times had changed, and while Amity was hiding behind his "small town" reputation, the world was changing. New protectors, heroes, as well as new threats were appearing. And as much as the halfa wanted to, he couldn't transport his entire town to the Realms on every occasion of danger, that would definitely be suspicious.
So he made a list. He gathered information on the heroes that had come forward and categorized them according to how easy they were to approach, or how open they would be to the existence of ghosts.
Unfortunately his "safest" choice was John Constantine, someone he wouldn't touch with a ten-foot pole, so he decided to settle for the second one: The Flash.
Danny had weighed the pros and cons, but as he walked through Central City he wondered if it had been a mistake. Although it was probably too late to regret it, the speedster had already noticed him.

Dabi, eating breakfast : Oh, hello again. We really need to stop meeting like this.
Hawks, who walked out of his bedroom in his house into his kitchen : Maybe we would, if you would STOP BREAKING INTO MY FUCKING HOUSE

booktok cannot handle unfriendly or emotionally complex female characters. show them a woman who’s a little problematic and they start shaking and shitting themselves. women can be either be martyrs or victims, anything else and ppl short circuit. men can be fucked up emotionally manipulative mass murders but if women have one unpalatable emotion they’re drawn & quartered.
if booktok bitches saw the female characters i liked they would piss blood for a week !!!!

I love the Star Wars fandom. People will say objectively insane things like “the baby murderer did nothing wrong! It was actually the babies’ fault (and also the one black man in a position of power) that they were murdered!” and “the real bad guys are the religious minority that the evil space fascist empire (which is clearly styled after Nazi Germany) murders and hunts!” and you’re just supposed to act like those are normal and reasonable opinions to have.

Whenever I remember that Tenya almost went full vigilante mode for Tensei I want to scream so bad like it's not even funny.
Bnha somersaults its way into saying "maybe heroes are just good citizens with the power to do good things" and "maybe heroism is not in the big notorious acts but in being kind and fair in the day to day details" AND THAT'S ALL TENSEI.
AND THAT'S WHAT MOTIVATES TENYA TO GO FULL BLOODHOUND ON STAIN.
I'm not denying that the world needs the big ass heroism acts like defeating AFO or saving a city or all those flashy notorious feats. All Might is very needed, because there are threats that are too old and developed and have accumulated too much hatred and damage over the years. You cannot always prevent those things from happening and to believe so would be naive, right?
What I'm saying is that those big events are the lowest percentage. They are the consequences of a systematic failure.
Take two of the biggest evil plots in the manga: AFO planning to still OFA and Overhaul with his quirk-erasure bullets. Both plans depended on an abused child being used as objects, Eri because her quirk was the base of the bullet working and Tomura because he was just meant to be AFO's new body in the future. In both cases, AFO and Overhaul were cornered after losing the child they were using for their plots. In fact it was the kids resisting the abuse that contributed the most to their failure: Eri prevented Overhaul from hurting Deku and Tomura prevented AFO from escaping his decaying body.
In that sense, the little unknown pro-heroes taking care of their neighborhood's children do a lot to prevent cases like Tomura or Eri from happening. Hell, AFO and Overhaul were also kids who went the violent route to survive.
Ingenium's silent heroism is probably the best example of what a hero looks like. They don't seek fame or glory. They regard heroism as their duty, their responsibility. No matter how little the act is, it's still important to do it.
At this point, we must admit the Tenya's crisis over what happened to Tensei is not only about their bond as brothers. Yeah, that was Tenya's big bro, but it is no less than when Deku and Bakugo saw All Might fighting AFO for the last time— the last moments of their role models.
The Iida brothers' crisis was deep rooted in the main issues of the story, so I'm still baffled at how people just tend to ignore it.
Before Stain, the "League of Villains" was just a minor threat. Dabi was a nobody with no real crimes to his name. Toga was just a lost little girl trying to survive the streets. Spinner didn't even think about being a villain. Before Stain, things were bad, but no one really thought they could change the status quo, you know?
The USJ incident was not the big deal because 1) how was attacking kids the answer? and 2) going for All Might was expected, since he was almost invincible and the biggest hero in the world and blah blah blah.
When Stain started attacking minor pro-heroes...
Stain was the opposite of Tomura. He admired All Might and saved those kids, but went after the pro-heroes with less powerful quirks. He gave the population a sense of control. It's like he said "hey, you don't have to go after All Might to change the system and why would you? The real problem are the ones on the lowest part of the pro-hero chain".
Suddenly, they could go against pro-heroes and win. Divide and conquer. Suddenly, there was a ladder to climb. Suddenly, you could target not the institutions responsible for the rotten ideology of your society, but the people who enforced the ideology with their daily work.
Stain defended his posture by saying that those people didn't want to be real heroes. They just wanted the money, the fame, they were not really committed to their duty.
And then attacked Tensei, of all people.
If big crimes are built from little crimes that are accumulated over time, what would happen if you decided to eliminate the people taking care of the little crimes?
The crisis of belief in pro-heroes was triggered by Stain. When Stain pointed out at Ingenium (the one in the suit was Tensei) and accused him of false heroism, it's when shit started to go south. He created the idea that pro-heroes should be punished if they don't perform correctly and that they deserve to die if they don't have pure ideas of their job— or whatever.
Tensei being the victim is supposed to show how hypocritical Stain is. Tensei is probably one of the only pro-heroes that never did anything wrong in the manga and one of the best family men to be presented. A man who was loved by everyone for being good in every sense of the word.
Stain projected his own fantasies on Tensei in order to accomplish his witch hunt, not truly caring to figure out who the person was. He just attacked for the sake of attacking, which explains why he was so popular: anyone could do the same and project their issues on him, fighting different battles disguised as just one cause.
When Tenya went after him, it could only make sense. The little of the Iidas is too righteous and noble, quick to judge and act, prone to making mistakes and getting carried away by the looks of it all. So easily his justice turns into revenge and he falls into the trap Stain set. Who knows what a hero student killing Stain would have caused...
At this point it's obvious I'm just ranting for the sake of ranting but 😭😭😭 give the Iidas the respect they deserve please.
