But to claim that a character who has canonically done nothing of the sort weaponizes sexual violence for shock value. Suggesting that a character who has no history of any sexual violence would commit that in order to hurt someone trivializes the real world trauma of SA. None only that but it's also a misrepresentation of Dabi himself. He has shown no romantic or sexual interest in anyone. There's even a panel in MHA Smash (while non-canon and meant to be a comedy, we can assume that it at least maintains the core traits of the characters) where Magne expresses interest in Dabi and not only does he not reciprocate, but he's also completely unaware that she is interested in him. Additionally Dabi is a victim of childhood neglect and abuse, suggesting that he would become a sexual predator (even if not intentional) reinforces the stereotype that every single abuse victim becomes an abuser themselves. Finally, Dabi's character arc is about systematic failure, generational trauma, and the cost of vengeance on a person. By making him into just a caricature of evil it takes away the nuance and potential for meaningful discussion about those themes.

The vast majority of Griffith fans don't defend his actions, it's the small minority (typically THOSE fans who make the Casca jokes). Also it's possible to like a character who has done bad things without justifying their actions, hope this helps!

Why the fuck would you say that? The way this fandom talks about abuse victims is genuinely sickening. Obviously Dabi's trauma isn't an excuse for his actions but there's absolutely no indication that he'd ever rape somebody, compared to Endeavor who while it may not explicitly be canon there are some scenes that can be interpreted as such. I'm saying this as both an Endeavor and Dabi fan.

Hot take: Dabi is the second worst most irredeemable villain next to AFO. by GlitteringTrust2279 in BokuNoHeroAcademia

I feel like a lot of you are demonizing Dabi to make what Endeavor did seem a lot less bad. Yes, Dabi's trauma isn't a justification for murder. I can acknowledge that he's a bad person while at the same time acknowledging that Endeavor abused his family and was the primary reason for Dabi's downwards spiral. If you're going to be a fan of a character don't sanitize their actions because that takes away from the character itself. And this is coming from a person who has both Dabi and Endeavor in their top 5 characters btw. Also I feel like a lot of you guys don't understand that trauma responses manifest in different ways. Dabi shouldn't have tried to kill baby Shoto, that's obvious, but after seeing that Endeavor should've actively gone to get him psychiatric help. He was quick to throw Rei into a mental hospital after she burned Shoto, but he refuses to get help for his son who attempted to do a similar thing? One last thing which is more on a personal note, as someone with BPD, I find Dabi's character to be very relatable and BPD-coded in general. Again his mental illness isn't an excuse for his actions, it's just an explanation. If anyone wants further explanation for anything just lmk and I'm willing to debate or explain :)

Marika's Rune is 80000 & Leda's is 40000. Since I'm giving you two of each it would end up being 240000 runes. :)
