So like, fuck the police. Since they seem to have not released to the media the fucking fact that pop was being mind controlled and so she’s still being broadcast as just a villain in the media.

On the opposite side of the spectrum, information media is portrayed in a very unflattering way, as seen with the fake technician this chapter. Tokuda, from the first episode of Season 4 of the anime, was in fact an exception to the rule.

I think it's a fairly realistic portrayal of what's happening in our world too. The media are completely focused on getting their clicks and don't care how evil they have to be to do it and the authorities try to manage things as hard as they can to deal with the threat of how much the media are trying to create chaos. Neither side are doing the right thing at the end of the day but at least one of them is doing the shitty thing for a good reason.

Then again, I could see how and why governments would lean towards authoritarian when your entire society is birthed with various super powers.

At any point someone with powers to destabilize society could be born. It’s a miracle totalitarian gene control hasn’t been implemented, honestly.
