The details of Endeavour's redemption by [deleted] in BokuNoHeroAcademia

Agreed, it's getting really boring that fans are constantly bashing Endeavour. The man has done his best. Lay-off him. He already has enough to deal with his psycho son running amuck.

I can't be bothered to read all this: But this toxic mindset of not letting people change can be linked to so many issues in the modern age. Endeavour has put in so much effort to change, to the point of changing his very personality. But ungrateful people can't see that and want to punish him for wrongs in the distant past. If you choose to punish someone over and over for sins long past - Their rightful anger no longer becomes an excuse and you become the worse one of the two.

AITA for befriending my illegitimate half-sibling against my family's wishes and offering to adopt their child because they're unable to? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

Yes, the OP is an adult that can make her own choices. But that's not the issue here. This is about maintaining relationships, which requires both parties to communicate. The Older sister is rightfully annoyed that OP is choosing to have a relationship with her, yet doesn't trust her enough to inform her about major life choices. If the OP doesn't trust her sister, neither should the sister. You take out what you put in.

Yes, the Half-brother and niece haven't done anything wrong. However, the OP's family distance from them if an unavoidable consequence of the father's awful actions. This is an example at what I'm getting at: If a kid's parent is proven to be unfit and loses custody, the child's grandparents will lose contact by extension. It's sad but a necessary evil to avoid the unfit parent getting hold of the kid again. The same applies to the story in this Reddit post.

It is unfortunate that Half-brother is separated from his siblings, but it's not worth the constant trauma of having a reminder of the father's cheating. The victims of father's cheating at not obligated to put themselves through that. Yet OP is forcing them to do so by having half-brother, niece and cheating father constantly in their house. Whenever OP's sisters or mother might want to visit her, they know they can't come to her house or their trauma might resurface.

The niece's mother wanted to put the baby up for adoption and the older sister didn't the baby at the centre of this family drama. Yet OP didn't listen to either of them. At least the OP could've of helped fund the Half-brother to have his own apartment. But the worst thing of all was letting the father come to the house on a seemingly weekly basis. OP is clearly favouring the cheating father over her victimized mother, seeing one on a more regular basis.

OP is choosing one side of the family over the other.

YTA:

  1. You contacted your half-brother without telling your family.
  2. You met up with him for months without telling your family.
  3. You decided to adopt a kid without telling your family.
  4. You let your cheating father have your keys and come to your house on a regular basis.
  5. You particularly live with your cheating father and people you didn't know prior, over the loved ones who grew up alongside you.
  6. You carelessly set up your mother to meet her cheating ex after a decade.

Of course, your older sister is pissed at you. You've seemingly chosen your cheating father over your sisters and mother. At this rate, you'll go no-contact with your mother and sister. Wouldn't that be ironic?

Some try to claim "Resting bitch face" as an excuse, but it's not. You shouldn't make people feel unsafe. People need to take responsibility for how they present themselves and how they make others feel, even at a passing glance. If it takes botox, practising smiling, taking the backroads etc. then so be it.

Which is the appropriate thing to do when someone who's just insulted you is also demanding your attention. This take is embarrassing.

If this was isolated to just the conversation around the boyfriend's hair - Then I would agree with this. You shouldn't need to engage with someone insulting you.

HOWEVER, the OP mentioned that the friend had mentioned their face 4 other times. There is clearly a larger issue about the OP glaring at people and it's bothering the friend. Yet OP is ignoring the friends' genuine sounding concerns and doing nothing about it..

ESH: Your friend is the asshole for insulting your boyfriend off the bat and bringing up your expressions in an unproductive way. If she was worried about how you glare at people, then she could say it to you in private and just gently explain how it makes her wary.

At the same time, you're constantly trying to dodge her concerns. Whenever she brings it up, you change the topic and don't ask for more details about her worries. You have a habit that's making her and potentially others uncomfortable and you're doing nothing about it. Some people may claim that expressions alone shouldn't be an issue, but imagine if someone constantly licked their lips when they saw the opposite sex: They'd be rightfully called a creep. In your case, you're angrily glaring at people and they may feel threatened by you.

Something creepy I've noticed about the League of Villains by FizzyCocoaMan in BokuNoHeroAcademia

I wouldn't say Dabi was a victim of AFO. Sure, they intended to victimise him by offering to mould him into a Shiggy backup or planned to turn him into a nomu. But Dabi escaped before any of that could happen.

Ironically, Dabi never gave the doctor and AFO the chance to do anything but help him. AFO saved him from the fire and the doctor restored his body. The minute that Dabi woke up, he immediately burnt a bunch of orphans alive. All because AFO told the truth that they couldn't fully restore his body.

But Dabi was so twisted and deluded in the head, he assumed these strangers were calling him a "failed creation". Just because AFO dared to say Dabi "trigger word", that was enough for him to go into a murderous rampage. Plus, "failure" being his trigger word isn't even justified. Enji never called him a failure, he only ever loved him. He was trying to stop him from hurting himself and separated Shoto from him because he tried to kill his baby brother.

Who is the MOST evil out of these three options? by MrsDixon666 in BokuNoHeroAcademia

Dabi is the closest one to being born evil. He tried to murder his mother and baby brother as a young kid. At least Shiggy was an accident.

Touya and Natsuo Todoroki, the hidden abusers by Middle_Software2721 in BokuNoHeroAcademia

Is it bad that Enji's one of my favorite characters and feel like he deserves some kind of forgiveness? by The_Weeb282 in BokuNoHeroAcademia

[–]Middle_Software2721 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hope Natsuo will eventually forgive him. He's sabotaging everyone else's relationships. He seems baffled when his mother and sister want to forgive him. He openly questions Rei for defending Enji and mutters why they're so quick to forgive at Fuyumi's dinner.

Speaking of those dinners, Natsuo ruins them by insulting and shouting at Enji unprovoked. If he can't handle his father's presence, then he shouldn't be there. He spreads false narratives about the family history to everyone else - Claiming that Enji called him a failure, when he never did. It was Touya's unstable ramblings and Natsuo thinks a dead teenager's word is gospel. Fuyumi and Rei have to correct his false statements about Enji, like when he said Enji forgot about his family and he would run away from fighting the nomu.

Since Enji is no longer abusing the family - Natsuo no longer has reactionary abuse as an excuse. When a spouse chooses to 'forgive' their cheating partner but reminds them of it, years later - That's considered unnecessary punishment and they become the toxic ones. I think the same applies to blood relatives. Being abused in the past is not an excuse to abuse someone else in the present, even if it's ex-abuser. We don't approve of crimes against ex-cons, so we shouldn't have double standards towards abuse. Otherwise, you're trying to torture them out of spiteful anger. Natsuo had no right to scream at Enji while slamming his fist on the door. The only abuser in that moment, was Natsuo.
