Interesting how Deku has, like, no flashbacks of actually being bullied by Bakugouā¦ Just ignored largely, hanging out with Bakugou and his friends, or Bakugou bragging
And before you (general) say how Bakugou beat up Deku in one flashback, I would just like to remind everyone that:
1) Itās canon that older kids would seek out Bakugou to fight him. Deku isnāt special.
2) We were shown the middle of the conflict where Bakugou was already fighting another kid. Deku isnāt special.
3) Deku joined a fight that was already in progress. You canāt jump in the middle and defend the enemy and not expect to be treated like one as well. Deku isnāt special.
Bakugou was canonically raised with violence. Bakugou thought smoking was wrong but being aggressive wasnāt, and no one taught him otherwise. Iām not saying Bakugou was right, but Iām also not saying he bullied Deku like how a large part of the fandom thinks he did. We just donāt have proof for it. Heās a kid who is a product of his environment, and as soon as he got out of that, he got better.
Heās expressed multiple times how uncomfortable he is with Deku knowing details about him and his quirk, but somehow he is the only one that has to change, and the change always benefits Deku. This isnāt fair for Bakugou. Having to ignore your boundaries to satisfy the person pushing past them isnāt fair to anyone whether they were an aggressive child or not. Bakugou has friends that respect his boundaries. He doesnāt need ones that donāt.
Thatās part of the reason why I donāt like most ābkdk talk about their past and Bakugou apologizesā fan content, because a majority of the time, Bakugou is the only one apologizing and the only one changing, and he ends up becoming friends with Deku, which is something he didnāt want but Deku kept pushing for. Deku needs to understand boundaries and change as well, and I wonāt pretend that their relationship was one-sided in the toxic department, because I do not believe that it was.

sometimes when i have something i really need to complain about but feel too anxious to not add a lot of disclaimers, i write the post as i want it to be without the disclaimers and draft it. i still get that "i've written it down, got it off my chest" feeling, despite not actually publishing it, and it'll be there if i ever do want to publish it. just thought i'd share what i do to get rid of that "i wanna complain about something, but i don't want to complain about someone" urge :)
aaaaah yeah that's a good idea š„ŗ i noticed that a lot of times just typing something doesn't feel like a vent to me ššš it's kinda like i need to know ppl saw it to feel like it mattered. and unfortunately that's true about small complaints too (bc unfortunately my feelings come in 2 settings so small things make me big mad and thus need big vent). does that make sense
