i don't like the growing opinion that people are being 'too hard' on deku for his failing to save shigaraki.
i've seen quite a few people complaining that a lot of the bnha-critical crowd are being too mean to deku for getting tomura killed, arguing that it isn't really his fault, and that hes a 16 year old child soldier who's been failed by almost every adult in his life, why should we be putting all of this on his shoulders? hes just a kid after all?
and the truth is, they're right. deku IS a 16 year old boy whos had the fate of the world thrust on his shoulders. but the story itself just plainly refuses to acknowledge this.
the narrative doesn't acknowledge how fucked up having a school that trains literal children how to be combo cop-celebrities is. it only tentatively acknowledges the fact that a universe having combo cop-celebrities is fucked up, and even then the only people who ever point this out are antagonists, who are portrayed and treated in-universe as untrustworthy. the narrative doesn't care how fucked up dekus circumstances are. the narrative treats deku like hes a fucking messiah here to touch the hearts of the evil depressed villains with his magical empathetic heart of gold before they get blown up or just sent to fucking superhell for daring to challenge the status quote.
deku isn't a person. he's barely even a fucking character at this point. he's a plot device, and a mouth piece for the objectively shitty themes bnha is trying to spout. the themes that tell you that if you're mistreated by society and want to do something about it, you're a villain. that disrupting the status quote and refusing to repent to some random teenage boy spouting empty platitudes at you means you deserve to get sent to fucking superhell. the themes that portray people fighting for civil change as mass murdering supervillains. the themes that look the audience dead in the eye and can call deku the greatest hero to ever live.
deku, who barely spared a second thought to lady nagant telling him the truth about the hero commission. who spouts meaningless platitudes about heroism and morality at nagant, and aoyama, and toga and shigaraki, when even the thought that he should question the world around him comes up. who's constantly talked about as this truly kind, empathetic person, but hasn't spared an empathetic thought to literally anyone who is classified as a villain. who listened to every authority figure around him except the ones who asked him to question his worldview. who saw la bravas tears, shigarakis various breakdowns, himikos plead for understanding, chisakis catatonic state, lady nagants truth, and barley batted a fucking eye. deku, who killed tomura shigaraki.
people don't criticize deku for failing shigaraki because they just hate deku. people criticize deku because of what he represents. because hes a mouthpiece for the atrocious morals and themes of this ideologically rotten manga. because any character he had was chopped up to bits in favor of the incomplete husk we have now. people criticize deku because hes the main character of my hero academia. theres nothing more damning then that.

HI! I’m a young artist and wanted to show off my recent art :3
so here’s my recent art
I TRIED TO COPY THE TWST STYLE
fuck it homebrew boop button. reblog this post to boop the person you reblogged from.
My name is Suad Ahmad, and I am an engineer from Gaza. I graduated from university at the top of my class and quickly advanced in my career as an instructor, consultant, and team leader. My husband and I were overjoyed to learn that I was pregnant, but our happiness was short-lived. Just a week later, the occupation began its illegal scorched earth campaign against the people of Gaza. Our home and my workplace were destroyed, and my husband's family and I were displaced from the north.
On the day I went into labor, I had to walk a great distance to the hospital. When I arrived, I found that the hospital was operating at minimal capacity, and there wasn't even a bed for me. My baby was born with minimal medical support, and the experience was extremely difficult. Then, the occupation began bombing the vicinity of the hospital, putting us in immense danger with nowhere to turn.
Unfortunately, the situation has only gotten worse. My baby and I are now living in a tent in extreme heat. The attacks continue, putting our lives in immediate danger. The blockade on Rafah Crossing and the destruction of roads and infrastructure have led to extreme food scarcity. I cannot find enough food to feed myself or my baby. I have not been able to recover from the difficult birth, and my baby is missing out on crucial nutrition needed for neonatal development.

This fandom will go crazy when they realize that Riddle and Kalim suffered the same kind of parental abuse in different fonts.
