i fucking hate this fandom. yall do NOT take abuse, harrassment, and bullying seriously and its really fucking upsetting. like yall will literally see bakugou PHYSICALLY HARM MIDORIYA TO THE POINT HE'S FUCKING BLEEDING and the comments of the clip WILL BE THIS SHIT.
[ID: Screenshots of youtube comments. They read:
"Lol this was just a really adorable moment of him being proud of himself and Bakugou knowing he still has work to do so he knocks some sense into him 😂"
"I mean, he always says he was going to kill him.. 😭😂"
"Midoriya: Can literally dodge bullets Also Midoriya: Can't dodge some flying costume piece thing"
"I like how he literally doesn't even flinch when it hit him XD" /END ID.]
This likely comes from Horikoshi having absolutely horrific writing when it comes to bullying and abuse. Things like harassment (cough mineta trying to sexually assault all the girls) and physical violence (cough bakugou attacking izuku. cough everytime monoma gets attacked. cough everytime bakugou hits kirishima) gets played for laughs. His refusal to take these things seriously has lead the fans to think that abuse is just something funny and it's not serious WHEN IT IS. There's nothing wrong with favoring a character when you're writing but you can't play all their horrific actions off as "just a cheap gag" to avoid having to give them consequences and reproductions.
