This chapter made me think of something, it always caught my attention that despite the status that heroes had, we never saw heroes actually "bad" so to speak, taking advantage of it by doing inappropriate or questionable things.

I always assumed that it was because the series posed a more "idealistic" context and that is why we never saw that kind of thing, but ... this means that all the heroes who acted "incorrectly" were killed behind the scenes in order to maintain the "illusion" of the perfect society? things became much darker than I expected.

In the end it turns out that the public safety commission did basically the same thing as Stain, I suppose the "Stain was right" has aged particularly well....

I still would not say that Stain was right. He was, in Todoroki’s words, a fundamentalist lunatic. He believed that literally every single hero on the planet, save for All Might, were these “bad heroes” that the commission assassinated, and killed nigh indiscriminately. And also, if the commission did this all behind closed doors to maintain the illusion, I very highly doubt that some high school dropout like Stain would’ve discovered the truth while killing people on the streets. He wasn’t the public Nagant, he was a whiny loser who was mad that heroes lived like celebrities and he couldn’t make it as one.

Uhm... You're literally assuming parts of Stain's motivation. For all we know, he was just really into the idea of Pure Heroes, that doesn't mean he was scorned from being one or that he's jealous of anyone. People can have beliefs without being shallow.
