Lying is the most fun a girl can have

ROUND 2 — Match 12 of 138

Enji Todoroki/Endeavor (My Hero Academia)

Problematic because: "Familial abuse, human trafficking(he bought his wife), implied marital rape, child neglect, child grooming" Propaganda: "He and his family are such an accurate representation of some people in that situation. Enji hurts his family, grooms two of his four children into being pro heroes(because he hates his own weakness and wants those two kids to be the strongest), drives one of his kids to what is basically a suicide attempt just to get his attention back, abuses and isolates his youngest child until he's 15/16, and neglects his two middle children because they don't have his fire quirk. After the whole war against the villains thing, he realizes that he fucks up and he tries his damn best to atone. He doesn't ask for redemption or forgiveness, but just atonement. And his family is all mixed up about it. His wife helps take care of him(he's in a wheelchair after the war), his daughter helps as well, his youngest WANTS to see him become better, his second youngest left because he can't stand seeing him changing(fair enough), and his oldest is in the hospital after trying to kill himself for the second time, and he is still glad because Enji comes and visits him in the hospital. Basically, I really really love their story, and Enji doesn't deserve all the hate he gets in the MHA Fandom because he genuinely did change, but he still did fucked up things for 24/25 years and he acknowledged that."

vs. Ketheric Thorm (Baldur's Gate 3)

Problematic because: "He helped Gortash and Dark Urge create the Absolute Plot to conquer Faerun with Illithid Tadpoles. He unleashed a curse on his village that turned the whole region into a shadowed wasteland. And he did all this just because he couldn’t cope with the loss of his wife and daughter." Propaganda: "He is arguably, either one of the most sympathetic or one of the easiest to hate of the three main villains, due to his tragic backstory and the disproportionate response he has to anything that goes wrong in his life. Also, the voice acting for all his scenes is so good."

This? This right here? This means everything to me.
