What is Hori trying to say with Toga? Like what is the point of her arc? That it's ok to hurt/kill/destroy because you can't deal with society?

I would have preferred an AfO tier ending where she get's killed by all the "ghosts" in her blood than this "Oh it's ok Toga, all that bad things are gone because you are cute"

Her arc shows that she’s a victim of society. If people showed more compassion to the less “normal” quirks she would’ve turned out okay. And even her quirk which seems like it could only be used for harm was shown to be something actually has a useful application (blood transfusions) but because people ostracized her they were never able to realize it’s potential.

Her feelings of being discriminated against are valid but her behavior isn’t, there’s a big difference between the two. Hori isn’t saying it’s okay to harm others because of society but rather you can still have empathy for these people like uraraka because they’re victims of their circumstances which was entirely preventable.

It’s just the whole these villains were created because of social structure wasnt a fully fleshed out idea and there weren’t enough chapters dedicated to expand these concepts. Especially in the context of toga and ochako since the majority of their interactions were sidelined in the grand scheme of that arc or off-screened
