What happened to them. Where did they go 😔
It’s interesting that Hk chose a women to directly criticize the heroes’ attempts at easing the public.
Despite having multiple men in the audience, Hk uses a female reporter to question Endeavor’s atonement and integrity. She brings up valid concerns, but she’s portrayed as emotional and almost irrational, which is in contrast not only to the heroes, but also her male colleagues (who are shown behind her, obviously uneasy with her outburst).
Once again, although the men in the story are primarily at fault for the current disaster, Hk created a woman to represent the sector that are working against heroes and their attempt to save society. This wouldn’t be an issue if it was an isolated event, but it’s disappointing considering Horikoshi’s tendency to use women to portray toxic and regressive mindsets while refusing to give his female characters actual development.
ngl as someone who's dad to deal with parents similar to EndNevWhore I'd pay money to see Shouto have some sort of break down or Anything because of him but Nope Never Gonna Happen
this is a super good point bcs in addition to all the sucking up to endv going on, the effects of abuse are not dealt with at all?? right now, it feels like the worst consequence of abuse is hurt feelings that can be apologized for, rather than lasting impacts on a survivor’s psychology that can take so many years and so much therapy to get over, if that’s at all possible. :/
i think a lot of fic writers who are trying to stay in-character would benefit highly from figuring out some characters’ senses of humor and just… letting them be funny in different ways. ime i’m taken out of the story not during the serious and angsty moments, but most often when the writer inserts a line that they clearly think is funny but just reads so completely ooc for the specific character—polar opposite of the char’s usual word choice and humor, that it almost always immediately pings me as “something the author inserted because they personally think it’s funny.” more often than not i can probably tell when it’s actually the writer speaking, not the character, and it happens a looot with humor.
