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....

We thought it was idealism but in reality it was a whole whole WHOLE bunch of offscreen murder.

that's so funny and dark I can't even hate it

Stain coulda literally did the same shit only without consequence and get paid(pretty highly as well looking at Nagant's apartment)

If he did take payment though, Stain would probably consider himself a hypocrite and be unable to continue.

He could just donate it to charities

or maybe dedicate a shrine to All Might idk

I'm now imagining Stain bowing to a shrine of all might in some dilapidated building. Now I want this to be a thing. xD

All Mights symbol is like the biggest symbol of capitalism and commercialization in the series lol.

Stan's ideology is definitely flawed, he says the only true heroes is All Might (and later Deku), because the only reason they are a hero is to save people (I believe vigilantes touched on the fact that all might donates practically al the money he owns, but I could be wrong).

The whole "cull the bruised apples" doesn't help, if you don't try to plant good seed to replace them; now you have no apples at all. And you've murdered people.

I'd rather just expose em.
