By the same token, the fans that question the relationship of this Semblance to mental health or certain neurodiverse experiences, aren\'t actually discussing what\'s going on in the show at this point -- they\'re creating a personal interpretation of a comment and then critiquing their interpretation of that comment. Let\'s say, for example, that your third was correct about the eyes going flat as the signal that the Semblance was activating. The most extreme action he ever takes, the decision to bomb Mantle and kill thousands, was taking while his eyes were shining with light -- they weren\'t flat; by their own argument, Ironwood\'s most villainous decision was made while his Semblance was deactivated and therefore not factoring into his decision at all.

However, as the troper who removed your entry pointed out: one thing we do know is that some of Ironwood\'s most extreme decisions were made when he didn\'t have any Aura and therefore didn\'t have access to his Semblance. A broken Aura and no access to his Semblance never changed his behaviour or his attitude. That\'s part of why it\'s so hard to for the fandom to figure out when his Semblance was active and when it wasn\'t. There are a few occasions when we know it was definitely deactivated because his Aura was broken at the time, but we have nothing else to go on for now.

Now, for all we know, this direction of guesswork might turn out to be correct, and therefore the unfortunate implications might also be right. But for now? We have so little to go on that even the unfortunate implications are just guesswork right now.

This is the problem with making guesses about how something works -- when you guess how something works and realise there\\\'s an unfortunate implication to that guess, the unfortunate implication is itself a guess.
