A couple days ago, there was an incident at a Genessia city arcade. "Hero-in-training" Katsuki Bakugou attacked a civilian seemingly over a video game. What ensued was a chaotic scene where multiple explosions were detected, resulting in large scale property damage and injuries to civilians.

Just remember. This is a 'hero.'

[Attached to the text is a picture of Bakugou, explosion coming from his hand as a crowd of people try to scatter away from him.]

Is this the same guy who was complaining about heroes and society before?

All I care about is putting the facts where everyone can see.

I don't know... The kid's a little punk but I don't think he'd do something like this unless there was a real reason...

And so you would give him a pass? He had a reason, so the suffering of bystanders is justified?

All witness accounts say that the first target even offered to play a game with him, and Bakugou attempted to kill him for it.

BASTARD.

Come out from the fucking shadows and face me, scum.

[The canned drink he was holding in his hand explodes, staining the wall.]

Why? So you can kill me for telling the truth?

[leekspins]

Did you take this picture?

[thehandyman]

No. I was, however at the scene when it happened. I talked to the person who took the picture, but was too afraid of Bakugou's retribution to bring it to the authorities themselves.

Consider this a submission on their part.

Please keep your gossip to yourself. I’m sure the Guardians of Genessia are conducting a fair and thorough investigation, sir. I

It's not gossip. It's the truth. As they say, pictures are worth a thousand words.

[Oh boy, that guy again? As far as Katsuki is concerned, Qubine agrees wholeheartedly.]

That is no hero. That's just a wartoad who likes to get into fights.

[thehandyman]

Exactly my point.

That's not what heroes do - they save people and strike poses, like this!

[Goku does his best attempt at this, but Gohan would probably give it a 5/10.]

[There's a delayed response as Shigaraki is trying to figure out what exactly Goku is doing...]

Poses are not generally considered hero duties.

Here's a crazy thought: Take it to the Guardians directly and let them handle it. Posting it anonymously on the network is just begging for no one to take you seriously.

When the person of interest is nice and cozy with a Guardian and their deputies, there's a tendency to let things like this get swept under the rug. I've seen it too many times, I'm not letting it happen here.

I've had a hunch paparazzi were a daytime job for villains and look at this. Mic owes me two thousand yen.

[thehandyman]

An expected sentiment of a hero. You just don't like being held accountable.

[Not-anon text]

[allforthem]

..Oh heeeeeeeeyyyy he creates explosions? :O

But yeah, that's definitely not a hero. Did the authorities come?

[anon text]

[thehandyman]

That is his quirk. He's very literally a living, walking, bomb.

I don't know. I was too busy getting out of the area and helping the photographer to the hospital. Either way, I'm not letting this get covered up.

I wasn't aware "hero" was now synonymous with "public nuisance."

[Made sense to him though.]

Got any more information on this incident? I can't exactly get private with an anon, otherwise I'd message you that way.

[thehandyman]

I wasn't there when it happened, but what I've heard is that he attacked someone over a video game.

Somehow I am not surprised.

Good to know someone sees through him.

Don't worry. I'll keep reminding everyone.

Cute. Nice propaganda you've got there. Have you given the Guardians information and your evidence yet, since presumably you're a witness? Or are you only interested in stirring up trouble.

What do you think a "hero" is, since you seem to have strong opinions.

[Anon Text]

[thehandyman]

Oh, the authorities have it. I just want to make sure everyone gets a chance to see the truth before the cover-up.

'Heroes' are something that shouldn't even exist. They're a crutch to keep the masses complacent and enthralled to the strong.
