i think its reasonable to criticize the "afo was born evil" narrative cuz it definitely is dumb as hell for obvious reasons, and it is essentially just written in the text that way. that being said mha has always been a commentary on family dynamics and nurture over nature, and we see that with toga and dabi very prominently. i think the idea here is that afo could've been raised in an environment where he turned out to be a decent person, but because he was born and left to the rats (and society/government systems at large are at fault due to a resounding lack of failsafes), he was forced to use any resource he could get his hands on just to survive in an era that was hostile to him. am i reading this right. anyways.

#until we get more context on ofa/kudo this is where im leaving this ig #this is a fairly charitable take compared to what im used to for this series but like. idk. im just trying to make sense of it #and hes still avaricious despite that last bit but the point is that like. he could have that taught out of him or use it for good
