thinness as a marker of health just pisses me off even more now that i live a "healthy" lifestyle and do all the things fatphobes tell you to do (eat a balanced diet with nutritious food, exercise regularly, drink a lot of water) and im still liable to be sneered at by a sedentary thin person whose daily intake is two quesaritos and a green machine juice. i did what you want! i'm not meant to be thin! sorry!

Sigh. I understand that touching on misogyny would make sense in a story that routinely touches on structural inequalities. But when it's only really brought up directly in order to prop up the guy deuteragonist (who is inarguably one of the most privileged characters in this story), no one should be surprised that it leaves a bad taste in people's mouths.
I'm not arguing like some do that Horikoshi hates women. I think the people who say this haven't read a lot of shounen manga and haven't seen how bad it can really get. Because as far as male shounen authors go, Horikoshi is probably slightly better than average at writing women, maybe solid B- work. Which is insult enough in a manga that is thematically about going beyond expectations and all that.
What's frustrating is that Horikoshi has handled issues like this better in his prior work. In his oneshot Tenko, the main character, who in some ways is a proto-Izuku, is a girl named Hana who dreams of being a warrior in a world where only men can be warriors. At the very least, Hana is the focus of that storyline.
Why in the world is Bakugou's character development the central character of BNHA's misogyny plotline? Considering that Horikoshi has previously done better on this issue in the past, honestly this train wreck might be the fault of the Shounen Jump editors. Because I can easily see their logic: teen boys don't like talking about "girl problems" but our audience loves Bakugou so lets make this about him actually

when a character says 'I can't live without you' I often think it would be more powerful to say, 'I don't want to live without you'. Life will go on, the world will turn, but a light has gone out of it that cannot be replaced even if new ones are lit. I want to be with you, I'm choosing to be with you, I could live without you but I would be losing something incredibly precious that brings a certain richness that nothing else ever will.
'I can't live without you' sounds kind of coercive to me. I can't live without you I don't have a choice so you don't have a choice unless you want to destroy me, do you want to destroy me? Without each other we have nothing, are nothing.
