#like are all non-hero heteromorphs just the dumbest people

[problemswithbooks]

I think it’s funny that people are calling Shoji and the Heroes stupid because they put Kurogiri in the hospital. Was it dumb? Yes. It was a stupid choice, a choice we have no idea why they made. 

But the 15,00 random heteromorphs attacking the hospital are just as stupid.

Here’s the thing, Hori did not explain why so many people got behind Spinner. This isn’t like with Stain who had his speech recorded and put online. Spinner just exists and I assume there was some news footage of him escaping with the LoV at the end of the first war arc. 

Spinner has never made any public speeches about how he wants to help heteromorph people, nor have his actions ever hinted that that was part of his cause. His only claim to fame is that he is a part of the LoV/ PLF. The LoV certainly have never made their stance on heteromorph discrimination clear, and all there actions have only made things worse for literally everyone. The PLF/MLA want some sort of Quirk freedom, but it’s entirely based around better Quirk=better person philosophy. 

There’s also the whole AfO thing. He is literally pure evil and that’s not really a secret. Before his public fight with All Might and getting put in prison his existence was kept on the down low, but what reputation he had was as a shady guy who ran everything from the shadows. Once he was arrested I’m sure a lot more came out about his past crimes (plus he leveled a city block and the Nomu are publicly his doing so whatever they do is linked back to him). 

So, you’re telling me these 15,000 people just looked at a heteromorph, who is only known for working with AfO, the evilest villain of all time, and picked him to be their mascot for anti-mutant discrimination? These people watched and know about how the LoV/PLF leveled multiple city blocks killing and wounding thousands, upending everyone’s lives, without any show of fixing it and decide to join him? Why? He hasn't even shown that he cares about discrimination anyway--hell right now he can barely talk!

These people are obviously some of the dumbest people around, or they just legitimately want to kill everyone and this is their excuse. AfO has never been shown to be a supporter of heteromorphs--but even if he was, that’s not who they’re following. These people are only storming this hospital because they hard core Stan Spinner for no discernable reason, except he looks like them.  They don't care about Kurogiri--I don't even know if they understand why Spinner wants them to attack this place. 

Are the Heroes dumb and even reckless for keeping Kurogiri in a hospital with innocent people there? Yes, they are.

But these 15,000 people are also, not just stupid but apparently just violent assholes. They looked at a guy helping to mass murder random people for seemingly little reason and they just decided to hard core Stan him, and do whatever he said even if it means killing a lot of people. Spinner hasn't even told them if this will help their cause, mainly because he is now a giant and can barely talk anymore. But I guess their mascot can just foam at the mouth and yell and that’s a good enough reason for them to shank sick people to get back a guy they don't even know. 

No wonder Shoji is mad at them--they are absolutely idiotic and bloodthirsty.

#this is why I said hori did a bad if not offensive job writing this side plot #your oppressed group shouldn't be so quick and happy to kill/maim sick people #let alone when it's not established if they even know if this will help their cause or not #like Spinner can't talk hardly at all anymore and they don;t even care about that #or find that odd/concerning #he's never done anything to show he cares about fixing mutant discrimination #and Hori makes it clear to the readers that Spinner doesn't actually care either #and that he's just using these people to help him get Kurogiri back #so AfO can win #which Spinner knows will just end in everything being awful because AfO told him that to his face #and he's seen first hand how badly AfO treats Shigaraki #but i guess that's fine #like are all non-hero heteromorphs just the dumbest people #this is not how you write your oppressed group--as braindead violent assholes #bnha 370 #bnha #bnha spoilers
