#words mean things. and to use a phrase by and for black ppl is disrespectful not just to us but like. palestinians have terms for how they

I think/heard theres discourse of what mido's hero name should be. People saying dekiru because it's more positive etc. I honestly dont get it. He chose deku, from what I make out/interpret it as, to prove to Bakugou that Izuku's past and quirklessness is something he can be proud of and look back on how much hes grown from being bullied by katsudon headass, to being able to somewhat talk to him normally (manga spoiler ig) IZUKU chose deku and people are ignoring his OWN voice like in MIDDLE SC-

hhh it's just I'm so mad people ignoring what izuku actually chose like they legit KNOW what he wants. If he wanted dekiru he wouldve chosen fuckin dekiru but he chose deku and it sounds a lot like 'deck you' so in all honest AHNSJAAA A A ANA SNDJ why must they ignore my boy!! ((Again I dont know if this is actual discourse but I istg I saw this))

oh yeah no sadly the discourse is real its a whole thing im so exhausted

its really not that deep i dont understand why people r throwing such fits abt it in all honesty. like i get it on some level? i get being concerned that someone would stick a nickname their bully gave them onto themselves but like u said this is what midoriya chose do to and it wasnt to disrespect himself (quite the contrary actually)

his first friends changed the meaning of it for him. uraraka tells him “it sounds like the japanese word for ‘you can do it!’” and that sentiment is exactly what embodies midoriya’s spirit. the meaning changed for him. he wants to remember that first genuine, supportive connection he got by rebranding what “deku” means to him

plus it’s like,,,idk how to phrase this properly but it’s letting bakugou win almost?? if you dont let him keep the name. when midoriya chose deku, a dynamic formed over whose meaning will stick w the name: bakugou’s or midoriya’s? and not trusting midoriya to make this decision for himself lets bakugou win

and i saw someone compare it to like,,oppressed ppl taking back slurs that were used against them to empower themselves? like how black ppl have taken back the n word and how lgbt ppl have taken back the q slur. and i agree; letting midoriya keep deku now that he wants it is empowering. he gets to chose for the first time in his life how others see him and he wants this

but idk again i can see why ppl are concerned but its really,,it’s not the deep i dont think discourse should exist on the topic at all djkdjkf. if ppl wanna hc mido as having dekiru or w/e as his hero name that’s fine and no one should knock them but canon in this regard shouldnt be knocked either it’s just,,it’s just not that DEEP

idk man im tired and i hate this discourse this is all im gonna say on it. i dont wanna get into any beef pls dont send me any more messages or rb this trying to start an argument im so tired
