manga spoilers!!!!!

the mischaracterization of Monoma and Bakugo's relationship on tiktok is literally THE WORST.

"Monoma never hated Bakugo!!" he ABSOLUTELY did.

the entire reason why Monoma thought 1-A sucked in the beginning was because Bakugo is an ass.

He was pissed off when Bakugo actually WORKED WITH HIS TEAM because he's known him as some prick who doesn't know how to cooperate up until that point.

He was shocked an upset by Bakugo's "death" because he has seen him and class 1-A as this unstoppable force ever since he met them. seeing someone you thought was unkillable BE KILLED is a shock.

sure, he shits on 1-A but it's VERY OVIOUS he doesn't actually believe 1-A is less then him. he holds them on a very high pedestal and he's watching it crumble before his very own eyes. and it's obvious that he doesn't like seeing stuff that forcefully changes his views from the joint training battles.

even though Bakugo's personality is flaming garbage Monoma still KNEW him. not only that but he had to watch him get mauled and he physically couldn't look away. that's horrifying.

and even if I'm completely wrong and Horikoshi decides to suddenly make Monoma respect Bakugo JUST BECAUSE he died for five minutes would be a horrible choice for Monoma's character. everyone who didn't like Bakugo at first always ends up respecting him for some stupid reason, and that's not how the real world works. there NEEDS to be someone that balances that out, and that someone IS MONOMA. his background and previous interactions with Bakugo make him the perfect guy to hate his guts.

this arc for Monoma, in my opinion, should be the arc that lets him finally win SOMETHING. that lets him shine. because all throughout this entire story we have seen Monoma fail over and over again. what this arc shouldn't be is Monoma suddenly gaining some sort of "newfound respect" for the guy he's hated the entire story.

The thing that gets to me the most is Izuku's left hand!!! It’s carefully, protectively placed over the top of Katsuki's heart 😭 I’m so happy but also in pain… hori, why did you do this 😭💔

Me: omg Keigo is so cute

My brain: teen Touya woke up alone with a different body and face learning years had passed and all he thought about was going home to apologize. Instead what he saw ruined him and he let Touya stay dead to let Dabi change the world. But he never wanted that. All he wanted was to be a hero with his dad. And now that pain has spread to so many other people like Shoto and Keigo. But Touya still just wants his father to look at him. Dabi wants to prove Touya was worth it, that everyone in the League of Villains was worth it.

Me, crying now: Keigo!

A little bit of a rant on the threats of violence against Horikoshi, so if you don’t want to read feel free to keep scrolling. Just as a heads up, it will contain mentions of murder, suicide, violence, and terrorism.

So I don’t know if this behaviour is present in every anime/manga fandom or if it is specifically the MHA fandom, but seriously what is up with some you saying that you’re going to kill or beat up Horikoshi. Like you do realize that’s a whole ass person right? There isn’t some robot writing the manga, it’s a guy, a literal human, you know with thoughts and feelings. Of course no author or piece of literature is free from criticism, but I feel like constructive criticism and saying an author should go and kill himself cause you don’t agree with some of the writing choices he makes, is not only cruel but just overall shitty behaviour.

One example of this behavior of is of some anime dude bro taking a photo of Horikoshi, placing it next to Osama bin Laden and writing in the captions something along the lines of “Spot the difference”. I can’t find the image now (because of course I can’t) but I think it’s pretty disturbing and outright weird to compare some mangaka whose writing choices you don’t like, to a literal terrorist who, y’know, killed people. Another perpetrator of this is that vocalpineapple guy (who has a huge following by the way) who also said that Horikoshi should go die because of what happened in the Bakugou death/revival arc.

This stuff isn’t even limited to the dudebros either, so called « progressives » « and leftists » do it as well (which is a whole other can of worms, also kinda funny how these people are mostly USA Americans and are from Western countries). They make violent threats such as the author should drop dead because he hid a transmisogynist?? And that they hate him and would like to kill him (or beat him up) if given the chance. And I don’t think people realize just how fucking extreme that is????? Like seriously you don’t like his manga? Criticize it, or better yet, hit da bricks! Go find something you enjoy, instead of going online and spouting hate against some guy.

And people might say, « Well why do you care so much ». It’s because I wonder, will this be the state of modern fandom? Sending death threats and spouting extreme violence against authors because you don’t like certain choices they’ve made? Where is the understanding? Or the nuance as to why certain choices were made? Where’s the analysis of the cultural context that a piece of literature is made in? Most of all, where’s the kindness? The understanding that another person can make mistakes, especially in their writing, and for the audience to not act mercilessly towards them. Is it so hard, to just critique the writing, and if the mistakes are a dealbreaker to you, to then just stoping engaging with the compositions and just go find something more enjoyable to you?

Overall, I think that the fandom hates Horikoshi way too much, and their comfort and overall acceptance of violence towards him is strange and also quite concerning. If you don’t like his writing, the just don’t read it! Or criticize it but like don’t start spewing violence against him.

"bakugou better not be killed again"

"istg if ago or shigafo kill him again I'm gonna shit talk hori"

can we read?? how many times is hori going to teach you guys this lesson. NOBODY IS DYING. hell not even edgeshot is dead and he's a worm on a string rn. the man says it's an overused trope. this story is about hope. it's about saving to win and winning to save. end of discussion.

[hydrasaura]

when i said that mha ripped off naruto (which i said only to piss off mha stans anyway) I didn't mean to sound like i was praising naruto. it was actually more like a sigh of disappointment, a reaction to seeing that all the problems that naruto had as a show transpired trough mha too and i was tired because watching naruto was enough for me but then i realized that my problem actually is that i can no longer stand watching shonen anime and i chose not to tire myself by cringing at the repetitive tropes and cliches anymore

[brainrothawks]

when they say “you love fictional characters because they can’t hurt you” they’re lying. Fictional characters hurt me everyday of my damned life.

[thyandrawrites]

I see hori's back to using bakuboi as his favourite punching ball. LoL.

I don't believe this for a second. Come on. It's like he didn't already put a major death flag on him the last war arc, and that was hella more believable than this (even though I didn't buy it back then, either). At least last time it had some kind of emotional buildup. It came right after a flashback that showed off his growth. Now, tho? It's abrupt in the worst possible way. None of his friends are there to mourn or even react. It's clearly a set up for Deku to have stakes... And a bad one too imo... But permanent? No sir, no way I'm gonna believe that when all this ofa magic is already obviously involved

HE MOUTH TOO BIG FOR HE GODDAMN HE !!!

[theophagie-remade]

The thing is 2+2=4 and there are lots of hints of 2+2s that would =4s in an ideal world but we don't live in an ideal world so there are many factors that come into play when deciding whether to show that 2+2=4 so what. What now
