Manual is conflating two ideas together here.
One: Heroes shouldn't be motivated by their personal grudges in their hero work. And this is indisputably true and a lesson Iida needs to learn.
Two: If you use your quirk, your own individuality, in a way that isn't explicitly sanctioned by the government, you are a villain and a criminal. Which to an extent is a factual statement about the current state of their laws, but it's not exactly a good thing
It brands people who can't control their quirks to being villains by nature. It also creates a sense of learned helplessness in the civilian population. Not to mention the implication that vigilantes are arbitrarily acting according to personal grudges. We know that isn't true as heroes started out as vigilantes and from several characters introduced in the Vigilantes manga.
It's not surprising Iida doubled down on being a rule follower after this arc considering his mentor introduced these two separate ideas as if they were intertwined with each other. But in the end, one is a good lesson and the other is the source of hero society's current problems

MHA 2.15 - Midoriya and Shigaraki - part 2
This is my first time watching MHA, no spoilers please!
Okay, so heroes have laws and regulations like no arrests or punishments. I guess they assist the police but don’t technically do the handcuffing. I bet the American heroes have way looser rules, lol. MHA’s depiction of Japanese heroes is pretty principled.
Hint, hint, go on a hair-brained plot to murder Stain, cough, cough. The way Manual: The Normal Hero (excellent hero name btw) was on to Iida’s sh*t in nano seconds is great. Nothing gets past Mediocre Man.
He is giving a lecture, but he is being gentle about it. What a sweetie. It is a shame that Iida did not listen to a word he said.
Is Manual wearing dish washing gloves? What is he going to do? Scrub villains away with hot water and dish soap?
The more of Stain’s philosophy I get to hear, the more interesting he gets. I want to learn more about him. He seems to not hate heroes so much as resenting heroes who have superficial motivations.
“Hero breeder”, pfft. Phrasing, Shigi, phrasing.
Stain want’s to make better heroes by killing the phony ones, but Shigaraki wants to dust anyone he wants just because. No wonder they don’t get along.
He’s aNnOyInG! Our super villain is out here sulking with his arms crossed like a mad toddler who just got told he has to share his toys. It is kinda cute in a pathetic way.
Haha, of course Iida always responds to texts the second he receives them. Makes it even more shocking that he is leaving his bestie on read right now.
Take a big boot to the brain mothafuka! It is satisfying seeing Gran Tortilla aim for the exposed brain right away. It is an obvious weak spot on the Nomus.
Well sh!t. Stain seems self-righteous with his so-called principles of only killing unworthy heroes, but he has no right to play judge, jury, and executioner. I was naive for a second since I thought he might not kill a kid. Imagine saying that kids can catch your blade, you know, depending on the “situation”. What a nut-bar.
