ok evidence for bakudeku (and/or togachako) to become canon:
- so mha starts out really normie/cishetero because we are shown good (heroes) and bad (villains) presented as a binary. this is a popular-held belief in society (i'm writing from the perspective of someone from america).
- but the story is now changing into bad (villians) isn't necessarily all bad and irredeemable. bad is just seen as bad because of trauma (especially childhood trauma).
- and we may end up seeing more "reform rather than prison" ideas pop up later too
- in other words, this manga/anime is liberal-leaning. queerness and progressive politics usually go hand in hand.
Hori is constantly presenting us with "shades of grey" vs. "black and white" thinking. Queerness is a shade of grey. How can it not be included at this point?
