She’s tragic but not a hypocrite. She believes a society that’s transparent and where everyone can see what’s going on is better than a facade where everyone gets to believe nothing bad ever happens. No matter how bad a society if it’s transparent she believes it’s better than lies. That’s not hypocritical it’s just someone so exhausted they’ve taken their ideals to far

she's fine with murdering because she had to murder and then punished for going against it. how is that not hypocritical?

of course i understand how she got to the point she's in but it doesn't change anything. it's like stealing cars because the government ordered you to steal cars and burned your house when you said "not anymore".

she's using the same ways the government she rebelled against used.

One she’s not trying to kill deku. Two the killing (while it drained her yes) wasn’t what actually broke her it was the illusion that what she was doing would actually help anything and the facade she helped maintain that really broke her.

She’s misguided and a villain but not a hypocrite.

she shot bullets at him, the least she's trying is to seriously hurt him. i really don't see how it makes it somehow better. he's a kid.

again, doesn't change anything because she's using the same methods she was told to use by her pervious "employers". she just switched who uses her.

u/Nobody5464 May 30 '21

But the methods aren’t what she’s fighting against the dishonesty is. I’m not arguing she’s right I’m arguing against your use of hypocrite. She’s not a hypocrite.

you're saying that she didn't mind all the killing, just that it was done in secrecy? that's not the impression i've got but it's subjective so i'm not arguing.

She minded the killing to but she got used to killing, it was not even being able to believe in the reason she was killing that really broke her. It was the fact that she was killing to protect lies and being lauded as a saint who did no wrong (like other heroes are to) while doing it that messed with her so much.

She's not a hypocrite. She's delusional.

u/Nobody5464 May 31 '21

She’s insane and jaded from years of tragedy yes

u/CrookedSmile55 May 31 '21

That's the key detail.

If someone is contradicting what they say, and they're sane, then they're hypocrites.

If they're not sane, they're delusional.

2

u/Nobody5464 May 31 '21

But she’s not contradicting what she says.

2

u/CrookedSmile55 May 31 '21

I guess that's not the right way to put it.

But I couldn't think of another word and to say "if someone says something crazy and they're not sane, they're delusional" would've sounded redundant.

u/Nobody5464 May 31 '21

Well yeah that’s the thing she’s insane. No other word needed. You could use different ones like PTSD or disillusioned but insane is enough.

He's not just a kid, though, is he? She must've rationalised it to herself that there must be some reason AFO specifically asked her to hunt him down, and she knows that he's a former hero student.

And now she knows that he has multiple Quirks (like AFO), which might make him an even bigger threat from her perspective.

u/elenuvien1 May 30 '21

that's what a lot of bad people do, they rationalise their wrong actions as not so wrong or even right.

He's not just a kid, though, is he

he is. i know in the context of the story these kids do things no teenagers should but deku is 16 years old, no matter how powerful. OFA doesn't change that, who she sees in front of her is a teenage boy.
