Oh man some poor fool thinks they know psychology
Lmao ok I study this shit too bro; Iâm a psych major with a degree and I take dozens of psych classes constantly and guess tf what? Bakudeku is not abusive! Redundant by now, I know; but maybe you should study human behavior a little harder before you go off preaching like your personal misinterpretation of bakudeku is true and then using one psych class to back it up. Holy CRAP.
I just talked about this yesterday too lmao. Damn, Iâm about to have a field day.
Fiction can affect reality, sure. But Psychology is complex, and if youâre not going to dissect every single aspect of Bakugouâs psychological being correctly, Anti, then your opinion isnât needed. We didnât ask for it anyway.
Just because you want bakudeku to be abusive (especially to validate your own ships) doesnât mean your opinion is true. The facts still remain whether you like it or not: The whole series is about their growth together. Bakudeku is about good change, development, and forgiveness. Like, damn, even All Might said it:
I canât stand when people take like one day of psych class and then claim to be SO WOKE and suddenly they think they know everything about anything when theyâre actually clueless and lacking analytical skills. Iâm gonna break down a couple things for you before you hurt yourself, Anti.
1.) Psychological trauma is an ongoing issue that doesnât need constant abuse to stay alive. Psychological abuse is constant, which means it needs to be continuous in order to be classified as such. However, Bakugou does not constantly torment Deku. Deku himself confirmed that for us in chapter 3:
Antis like to argue that Deku has psychological trauma from Bakugouâs bullying back in middle school, but from what I have observed in Deku, I can safely say that Deku is not traumatized, especially to the degree yaâll make him out to be. If he was THAT fucked up over it, then Deku would have triggers and be extremely unable to interact with Bakugou at all. But, he is confident with Bakugou and has stood up to him many times. He isnât afraid to interact with him or talk to him. Deku continues to chase after him and try to be a part of him because he admires the fuck out of him. He may be cautious sometimes and be easily flustered, but heâs like that with everyone.Â
2.) Does Deku hate Bakugou? Hell no. Did Bakugouâs bullying prevent Deku from chasing his dreams? Hell no. Does he wish harm upon Bakugou? FUCK NO. He would rather break his body into a pile of shattered bones and mush than see his Kacchan get hurt (and thatâs canon). And, you know, when it comes down to it, Bakugou hasnât let any harm happen to Deku either. He has protected Deku from Kurugiri and All Might before. Thatâs just one example. So, Idk why antis swear up and down that they hate each other.Â
Would it have been an unhealthy relationship during middle school? Probably. But we donât tend to ship them as middle schoolers. Would it be unhealthy if they were dating right now in canon? Most likely not because the older they get, the more healthy they become. But, from what Iâve seen, most bkdk shippers ship them in the near future.Â
3.) Keep in mind that the entire story of My Hero Academia is being told by a futuristic Deku - and he still refers to Bakugou as âKacchanâ and whether thatâs because Bakugouâs hero name is Kacchan doesnât matter because Deku still speaks very highly of him regardless. Also keep in mind that Deku says he is a #1 hero now, but that doesnât mean Bakugou isnât a #1 hero BY HIS SIDE now, too. There are a lot of surprises in store for us with these two, so you canât sit here and say that BakuDekuâs current relationship will never improve because it already has and itâs continuing to do so! BakuDeku would not be an abusive relationship, especially after how much the two of them have grown together so far. And they only get better! The improvements are right there, so stop being so black and white about this shit.
4.) Bakugou Katsuki is a complex character alone, much less with Izuku. Since you think heâs a horrible person, you obviously havenât even began to psychologically dissect him.Â
His personality has a lot to do with development psychology. We still donât know too entirely much about how exactly he was raised, but we do know that he was raised by a hardass woman whom his whole personality reflects off of. We know that Bakugou was raised to hide his weaknesses, as are most young men. Not saying thatâs okay, but the gimmicks of your early childhood greatly influence who you become as a person. Bakugou has a hard time venting his feelings without being a little obnoxious about it because heâs used to being loud and proud and hiding his weaknesses - so of course heâd bottle up his emotions until they explode out of him and heâs yelling and crying about it, because he doesnât know any other way to do it yet!Â
If you donât understand that, then you really DO need to pay more attention in your little psych class. Right now, Bakugou is still a growing young man, but he is not running in place. He is improving and he has shown that he has a soft side as well as very high intelligence, manners, social skills, and knowing exactly when and where to act appropriately and maturely. He isnât a loose canon. That info right there is more than enough to analyze, but thereâs still so much more to Bakugou than what we were shown in episode one, which is where you antis seem to get stuck in forever. HE IS NOT AN ABUSER.Â
Hereâs an even better bust to your balls.
5.) While Iâm at this, I might as well go big or go home, right? A lot of antis like to say that Bakugou bullied Deku for a decade or some shit, but the author has not clarified that and he has only ever labeled Bakugou as Dekuâs childhood friend - not an enemy or a bully. The idea that Bakugou bullied him for a decade is a fanon theory that antis made. I can see where they got the idea, but as of right now, it is not a proven fact. Again, fanon and canon - learn how to differentiate.
6.) Antis like to validate their toxicity toward bakudeku shippers by playing the âI was bullied/abusedâ card. Bitch, so was I. That excuse is getting real old - you canât use it forever. Not all people who have experienced abuse/bullying see BakuDeku as abusive. You went through some shit? Okay, and Iâm sorry about that. You donât forgive your tormentors? Thatâs perfectly fine! Thatâs you. But, is that Izuku? Does he constantly marinate in his past and think negatively about Bakugou? NO. Stop forcing yourself into Dekuâs character - HE IS NOT YOU.Â
7.) Also, antis like to use that one-liner from chapter one in all of their 2 fucking arguments, but it is so invalid at this point because of the progression that has happened since then. I talked about this before anyway.
8.) I heard that this dweeb also said that Ki//ri//ba//ku is okay. Ha! I can explain why that is so damn greasy, but that subject would need its own post. For now, just read the psych post I already made. Thatâs enough of a response to the ridiculousness of antis shipping their oh-so-abusive Bakugou with other people. If yaâll think heâs so horrible, then at least stay consistent with his ships.
Conclusion: Get out of the bkdk tag and keep your toxic opinions to yourself.Â
I usually donât make âpsychologyâ posts like this too often because I donât want to sound pretentious, but when your ignorant ass comes trampling in here with your nasty feet on my fucking career field that I put my blood, sweat, and tears into every fucking day, you deserve to be shut down.Â
