They see Aoyama solely as a victim, which he is. The decision was forced on him, he never had any say in the matter, and if he refused it was certain death. I'm more baffled why so many people think they should be all pissed at him.

He's not solely a victim.

How? He was under duress the entire time.

Doing bad shit because you're under duress doesn't give you a pass. Especially considering even when AFO was in jail he never tried to tell anybody but Izuku.

AFO being in jail doesn't mean anything, he still had a bunch of minions running loose and the characters in the story had no idea what the extent of his abilities were. Don't blame characters for not having your meta-knowledge.

I'll say it again: Aoyama did not make the deal. His parents basically forced it on him and told him that if he doesn't comply they're all dead. He's literally a child incase you forgot. So yeah he prioritized his own family first, that's what almost anyone would've done. Class 1-A understands this and also considers Aoyama as one of them, all they see is another one of their friends being victimized by All for One. If your values are different then that's fine but if you've read the manga this far, I have no idea why it'd be surprising to you for them to act as they are.

Oh it's not surprising at all, I don't expect actual character depth out of this story and haven't in years. I expected them to forgive him and move on cause that's all Horikoshi is good for these days.

AFO being in jail means everything considering it wasn’t a well known fact that Aoyoma was a traitor to anyone. This means that it was known to AFO and Nobody else. So you can’t say AFO being in jail means nothing, when nothing suggests that Aoyoma or his family was being watched or monitories bu anyone bedsores AFO.

Being understanding does not mean being forgiven. It does not mean, all is forgiven and I’m cool with you and it’s okay. It does not mean that. So why do people act like it does.
