...What do you mean these are different characters?

People like to pain Aizawa as someone who wouldn't have dismissed Izuku's dream. Who would be upset if he found out about what All Might said in the first episode.
I think it's complete bullshit.
Aizawa was more or less ready to expel whoever came in last for the training on the first day.
I think he would have been equally as bad, of not worse.
Fanon aizawa would be mad at all might and would support Izuku's dream of being a hero as a quirkless individual.
However, canon aizawa would not.
First of all canon aizawa very much based the potential of his students on the way they can use their quirks and handle themselves in battle. He was ready to expell them if they made it dead last and he was ready to expell anyone who didn't meet his criteria. Aizawa also has his own internalised issues about strength that stemmed from oboro's death and how he wasn't capable or strong enough to protect everyone so yeah I don't think he would support Izuku's dream.
There's also the fact that aizawa has only helped people with a "weak" quirk or a quirk that wasnt inherently suitable for heroics like shinsou other than that aizawa has a very internalised belief that quirks do actually make or influence a person and we see this in canon with how he treats bakugo and how he seems to take pity on shinsou because he reminds him of himself.
Hey, wanna know something kinda sad I realized? Every relationship Endeavor has is based around utility.
I mean of course there’s his family: He only married his wife for her to give him his perfect heir, and up until the present he only ever showed affection to the one most capable of being that heir; emotionally neglecting the rest completely, as we can tell from Touya’s treatment and Natsuo’s recounting of his own childhood. And even now, with his “redemption arc”, it feels like with his realizing his rank won’t satisfy him and the things he did to get it not worth it, that he’s only trying to make up for things for a new purpose; convincing himself he’s a good person who loves his family. (Especially given how much he mopes about his family not liking him.) Not once has it felt, to me anyway, like he’s done something for any of them that wasn’t self-motivated; with his kindest actions being the ones that were only partially self-motivated.
And now, he’s on the opposite side of that with the rest of the family; where it seems they only really interact with him for what he can do for them or their other family members. From the start, Shoto’s only ever professionally worked with him for what such a high ranking hero could do for his own career, and seemed to only really be open to giving him a chance because Rei and Fuyumi seemed open. But they were only really open for his and each other’s sake; which is also why Natsuo humours the idea at all, he was just more open about that fact. And now with recent events; they have put genuine trust in him, but only for Touya’s sake. To his family, who have each only every (at best) been a means to an end for him, he is only ever (at best) a means to an end for them.
And of course this is true for his professional life too, the core of his being for so many years of his life. Of course he has no friends in that professional life; just employees and coworkers who work for/with him out of mutual convenience. And of course, even his long obsessed-over rank is based more on how useful he is to the public than anything else (numerous sources have shown he hardly owns much of it to plain popularity, though even what popularity he does have serves a purpose now). Heck a lot of fans, many of his own defenders even, have theorized that he owes his utility to not being in jail after Dabi revealed all his crimes. The No. 1 hero is too useful in these trying times for the other heroes to arrest him; justice be damned.
And meanwhile everyone who doesn’t have use for him, be they villains actively fighting him or civilians deciding they just don’t need heroes, well they all seem to hate him. In fact I find it interesting that Dabi, the only other Todoroki more concerned with his own feelings and well being than any of his family members, is the only character in the series intentionally trying to hold him accountable for all the things he did.
The man has no one he genuinely unconditionally loves or that unconditionally loves him. Everyone he interacts with, their relationship is directly proportional to how useful they are to him and/or how useful he is to them.
What a sad existence, if one very fitting for his character.
love when this happened
Note: I thought this scenario was kinda funny in my head because judging by how everyone acts with each and around Bakugo, something like this would happen in the main series. If Bakugo is going to constantly have toddler like tantrums and get physical with someone(Ex. Blowing up the dorm and a card game after getting a tie in a match with Deku/ Attacking Deku immediately after he congratulates Bakugo for getting his provisional license/ Throwing his sharp headgear at Deku causing him to bleed), then he would definitely do this. Anyway feel free to add your introspection. Normally Bakugo would have a hissy fit over something that is either petty, stupid or outrageous to fuel his inferiority complex so let’s say that he got mad for getting the second highest score on a test.
How this scene would play out is that class 1A would get their results of a test they took. Bakugo would get pissed because that he got the second highest score meanwhile Momo Yaoyorozu got the first highest. While Momo keeps her pride to herself, Bakugo would make a baseless claim the she is making fun of him. So Bakugo would proceed to attack Momo out of jealousy.
- Momo would be in a lot of pain from taking an explosion to the face
- Jiro, Kaminari, Mina, Sero, Tsuyu and Ida would get pissed and try to intervene but it probably won’t amount to anything
- Deku would probably try to intervene but Bakugo find an excuse to fight him
- Uraraka would direct her attention to Deku if he got attacked by Bakugo; ignoring Momo’s condition
- Mineta would make another perverted comment
- Todoroki wouldn’t do anything in this scenario(Good luck Todomomo fans)
- Sato and Tokoyami would just comment on how Bakugo’s attitude is ridiculous and not do anything else
- Kirishima would probably stand up against Bakugo while at the same time convince the others that his actions are reasonable
- Aoyama, Hagakure, Ojiro, Shouji and Koda would keep to themselves and not intervene
- Aizawa would harshly punish all of Class 1A and give Bakugo a light punishment
Did you ever share your thoughts on Shoji and his mini arc with Spinner? What were your thoughts on how that was handled when it came to quirk discrimination?
I'm not sure I did, but I think it was really badly done. Hori should never touch a plotline that parallels with complex IRL problems like racial discrimination without much more research and sensitivity.
To say that discrimination will end if the victims keep turning the other cheek and strive to become cool based on the oppressor's standards is just an absurd way to "solve" discrimination.
Also, the ending where Shoji travelled the country and got awards somehow stopped discrimination was laughable. Look at any minority in the world - racial, sexual, disabilities, whatever - having a celebrity can be helpful of course, but will never solve the overall issue without proactive policies that bring real change over time.
(and I liked Shoji and was looking forward to his highlight, but the plotline was way too halfbaked).

One thing I find frustrating about people’s takes on Sinners is that they want to use one particular symbol as the center of their criticism when after two viewings it’s pretty clear that nothing is the film is ever representative of just one thing—meaning shifts from scene to scene, moment to moment, meaning can’t be unlocked by applying one metaphor to the entire movie
If I see one more person ship tanjiro with an adult I am going to go violent and feral.
he is a child stop shipping him with literal ADULTS.
Doesn’t matter if you “aged” him up ( which is disgusting just to then ship him with an adult ) , he is still A FUCKING CHILD TF.
