hello bnha community 

“what will we do without police to arrest child abusers?” well, you see, in the anime my hero academia, a few characters took it upon themselves to ruin a child abuser’s career, chase him down on the highway, and cut off his arms, all the while police guarded him, and i think that’s the real kind of grassroots bottom-up initiative we need to be looking into. it was an aspirational example of how justice could be served without involving police

I am browsing Reddit Dot Com

no offense but there is no fucking way fuyumi could drop a truth bomb like “yea so natsuo honest to god believes that dad killed our brother” and everyone just reacts calmly like bakugou literally doesn’t even blink an eye he’s just like “ah, that explains it” like uh huh ????? y’all just heard ur friend’s brother died and his other brother thinks it was their father WHOM U ALL KNOW TO BE ABUSIVE who murdered him and all u have to say is oh worm? for real? on god? are u FUCKIN with me!!!!!!!!!!!!! no one is allowed to defend horikoshi’s writing lmao i cannot believe that in a world of superpowers, this is the most unrealistic shit to come out of this entire story so far what the hell!!!!

for the people who like crime as much as i do here is my league of villains uquiz. i am having the time of my life

Also, it's funny how the only league members to survive the manga are the ones without heroic counterparts wanting to save them.

This is certainly a narrative choice...

re: last reblog i want to be in awe of people's imagination and the breadth of interpretation each individual can bring to a text, but my experience in fandom is that, in practice, people will use that imagination to try and headcanon their way out of racist or trans/misogynist or imperialist or pro-police texts.

wait, do people who read bnha realize that there's no such thing as 'quirk suppressants' or 'quirk-cancelling' handcuffs/drugs/etc. in the HeroAca World currently? There's nothing. There's only Eraserhead and heavy sedatives to stop a person's conscious altogether (and formerly Overhaul's bullets that were the first of its kind).

Like, that's the reason for why Heroes are allowed to use heavy force, and why Tartarus and it's straightjackets are a thing? A good part of the conflict hinges on the fact that the world can't easily take away a person's supernatural ability - that's why quirk use is so suppressed and Villains are treated so harshly and no one had any idea what to do with kids like Toga or Eri (before being taken in by UA/Eraserhead) who couldn't control their quirks besides telling them to not do it, or that they're bad for not controlling themselves, and finally abandoning them.

When you have no good way to inhibit someone's quirk with a simple injection or electronic collar, you'd end up trying to prevent them from using their quirk in whatever physical way possible: restrain them by tying up their arms or putting a muzzle on them, lock their hands in metal boxes, put them in a confined space with a gun trained on them, keep them under anesthesia for months on end, and so on. You end up treating them like they're feral, rabid beasts that can't be controlled, as ticking time bombs monsters who are capable of any thing at any moment and needs to be subdued as quickly and completely as possible.

The Bakugou Experence(TM)

Bakugou: *punches Izuku*

Izuku, starry eyed: "Woow, Bakugou, that was so cool!"

Kirashima: "What a manly punch!"

Eraserhead: *grumbles, but is secretly impressed by how good a punch it was, even though he wants to improve his form a bit*

Shigaraki: *nods* "I can see why you're the one closest to Deku."

All Might: "What good friends they are!"
