I Feel The Need To Defend Aphrodite. She Gets A Lot Of Shit And I Find It To Be Massively Unfair. She

I feel the need to defend Aphrodite. She gets a lot of shit and I find it to be massively unfair. She is consistently characterized as an irredeemable bitchy mean girl, when in reality she isn’t any worse than ANY of the other gods. Many of the male gods have done worse than her and they are less slandered and ridiculed than her. Keep in mind every single god was designed to have flaws to them, so that they would better reflect humanity, plus many things that are significant wrongdoings in our eyes now we’re normalized at the time. About the Hephaestus thing, I’m going to be honest… I don’t care. Gods in all mythologies have affairs all the time, Greek gods especially. Her extramarital escapades are nothing special. Plus, her marriage to Hephaestus was an arranged one that she had no choice in. It was just to get the other gods to not go after her because she was taken. I’m gonna say it… I think a lot of the Aphrodite hate is residual misogyny/internalized misogyny and everyone else just goes along with it because it’s the popular opinion.

Something that doesn't get talked about with my hero academia is how the series is how it really celebrates super hero culture and what it represents. With the amount of super hero franchises out here in the west, I think it's easy for people to have this kind of nihilistic view on superhero's. How it's more of a money making cash cow that movie studios churn out in order to make millions of dollars without the need of incorporating any sort of meaning or message behind them.

But the whole message of My hero is reminding what the whole point of super heroes are and what they represent on a fundamentally human level. The aspiration to be good, the optimism and belief that people have the capabilities to be good and help other in need, and the hope that you inspire others to do the same. Superheroes are important in our zeitgeist because people need to believe that there are people who have the incredible strength to help people in need and work to be better versions of themselves who give back to the world rather than take.

I think My hero Academia as a whole is a celebration on the positive aspects of superheroes and why they are an important means to inspire people to be better, and in turn help other become better as well.
