How is Toga a hypocrite? She's pointing out a really important issue in the story.

Heroes go around saying they'll save everyone but this "everyone" is pretty limited. The society was built in a way that people think everything is black and white, heroes and villains, when it doesn't really work like that.

What makes Endeavor so different from, say, Twice? Both have done wrong things in the past but they fight for those they deem worthy. What's in between them? A hero license? That's it? Once you're titled a "hero", you're above the Law and you're put in a throne of higher morality. You essentially choose who lives and who dies.

Not to say Toga is morally correct — she really isn't —, but why couldn't this failed society save her from herself? Why didn't the heroes save Twice and Gentle and Spinner and Shigaraki and so many other people who were ignored by society and turned into villains?

"Oh but this X character was mistreated and didn't become evil."

That's the point here: are villains born evil? Why are there villains in the first place? Are all of them just blood-thirsty psychos? Is everyone behind bars an inherently bad person? Or is society the way it is built responsible for that? Is authority always right? Why are some lives more valued than others?

I don't have the absolute right answers for these questions (because they don't exist), but that's why we should be reflecting on those.

If all you got from what Toga said was "oh but she also killed people", you have some thinking to do.
