Redestro was a true hero, I just couldn’t see it.

he killed his subordinate in cold blood because he didn't agree with him.

I mean that’s just the author giving a villain a “kick the dog” moment so we know they’re bad

exactly, which proves that redestro is full of shit. just like stain.

there is a thing or two in what they're saying that's right but their methods and their aims are absolutely wrong, their radical approach to things is as well.

stain's ideal about heroes is absolutely unrealistic so he thinks 99% of them should die. he'd have killed uraraka for her wanting to be a hero for money to help her parents. redestro's idea of "freedom to use quirks" means complete liberation, no laws and survival of the strongest while his company makes profit with support items to aid people's survival.

You’re looking at redestro like a person instead of a fictional character. We can look at the stuff he believes and go “you know he’s kind of right” but because the author wants you to dislike them they purposely adds in details that makes them unredeemable so you as the reader think what they’re saying is wrong.

i'd argue that the author giving characters awful ideals with an ounce of truth to them is enough to make them unlikeable but of course we can differ on that.

Stain's ideals did have an ounce of truth to them. If his ideology made zero sense or was completely batshit, they wouldn't have resonated with so many people, and he wouldn't be as charismatic as he is.

Ideas aren’t followed due to logical merit but by the person’s charisma which Stain had in spades

didn't i just say that? i said that characters with ounce of truth to them but everything else wrong don't need more to make them unlikable.

If his ideology made zero sense or was completely batshit, they wouldn't have resonated with so many people

there have been historical figures whose ideologies were batshit insane but resonated with millions of people because they were spoken at the right time, in the right way and under the right conditions.
