So in regards the leaks and how the general fandom is acting towards Shig and Izu seeing each other memories.
Like, let's dissect here. One thing is bothering me in lieu how the MHA treats redemption arcs is how the victims have no saying in the redemption of the villain(and BK let's not forget what he really is) the fandom wants to babiefied the villains without facing the real consequences.
Won't talk about PoS here. Let's talk about Shiggy.
Fandom says he is groomed by afo and so...he needs to be saved. I talked to @doodlegirl1998 about this. She proposed the idea of afo suggesting things to Shig which...yeah makes sense.
Brainwash trope: it's a trope where a character acts differently from the norm thanks to external reasons. For the trope to work we need to see how the character is before the brainwash.
What we know about Shig before being Shig.
*He is Tenko.
* He has a fluffy corgi
* His family died .
Shig fandom insists Tenko was this paragon of goodness. We are told that btw never showed. "Tenko helped those two faceless and shapeless kids. He is an angel" and the fandom nods.
What we really see of Tenko is how he was abused bc Hori really couldn't make his backstory a clichê. The SHIMURAS are dead and......no one really care. What they bring to the story?
We don't know how Tenko was, really
Then afo took him in.
He didn't groomed Shig. A groomer (if we go by a non sexual way) would be all the steps of the person's life to mold....afo didn't do that. He see him give a really cruel name to Shig, see the Dr give the hands (I so think they laugh at this) and leave him alone with Kuro.
Not grooming.
But afo could have suggested Shig to use his quirk without care.
Which comes to my point .....Shig chose to continue on this path. Shig chose to attack us, to kill those heroes. It's was on him. Afo doesn't have a hold on him...Shig did himself.
And my point is, Shig can't ever get a redemption action if we don't account the victims.
How the victims and their families would feel about a Shig wanting to redeem himself?
Ok imagine that. Everyone forgive Shig...maybe they all see Baby Tenko and are. Heartbroken by his cuteness ...they forgive him as easily as some Shig simps wanted .....what this means to Shig then?
What he would do with this forgiveness? Would he try to change? Would he care? What the story would be if everyone forgive Baby Tenko?
Also.....
I'm profoundly annoyed how Izu has to see the SHIMURAS being murder, how the fans will see this as "oh no. Poor Shig" (don't get me wrong ...it is horrifying as it is....silly. the entire family is dead. It's lazy) and no one will give a shit about Izu's past, just to not break a pattern. We will see the horrific scene of SHIMURAS being killed...a scene Izu will see as well....and doubt we are going to see Izu's past....and if we do see....
Fandom:😒why we are wasting time on this
Or
Fandom:😁proof Izu will save Shig. Go save Shig.

You know how some transphobes mix up "trans men" and "trans women"? Like they'll say "trans man" and then say "men who dress up as women" (the transphobic description of trans women)
If you still don't know what I'm yapping about then go look up accidental ally and you'll get it
ANYWAYS I saw two transphobes arguein with each other.... Because one of them knew correct terms and the other is the kind of guy I explained above
And it was so fucking funny watching them go back and fourth because one guy was like "trans men are men" (accidentally ally) and the other was like "uhm no they are biologically women" (cause he understood the terms aka doing transphobia correctly. Like if your gonna be an ass at least do it right yknow)
IT WAS LIKE ARGUING WHICH CHIP BRAND IS BETTER EVEN THOUGH IT'S MADE IN THE SAME FACTORY WITH THE SAME INGREDIENTS JUST WITH A DIFFERENT LABEL ON IT

Bitches will come online guns blazing like “here is why people processing their own trauma in ways I personally do not like are doing it Incorrectly also you are committing thought crimes by creating or enjoying art engaging with dark subject matter and unless you only consume Ideologically Pure Works you are vile and Morally Irredeemable and actually no different than a criminal. No I have not read any research on these topics and do not intend to” and then somehow claim they are progressive and pro mental health and support trauma survivors… make it make sense

Crack whump scenario:
Whumper holding Whumpee’s precious collection (crystals, Funko Pops, Beanie Babies, comics, etc.) ransom until they willingly give themselves over to Whumper. Maybe after all of this, Whumper ends up destroying Whumpee’s collection in front of them anyway as their first round of “torture.”
