#they really arent

[bibibbon]

The funny thing with Bakogou getting so many votes, is that he isnt even really the "Sasuke" from Naruto - who atleast got so much attention, some fans even got angry cause one wouldnt see Naruto for many chapters lol.

Hell Sasuke actually kept up with Naruto, while Bakogou, after his weird win in the rematch fight, never really caught up again, especially not after the 7 qurik thing - not even getting a real villian fight against AFO

And even the AF0 defeat seemed lto me like a way to say "oh shit, I have to make Bakogou Dekus rival, so lets him blow up an evil baby" lol Hell maybe thats why there was that random murder of Kurogiri - to make it look like Bakugo saved Deku and the battle in the end?

This is out of topic but I hate seeing people say that izuku and bakugo are sasuke and Naruto in a different font because they are not!!

First of all bakugo and izukus rivalry is one sided. Izuku's character once used to admire bakugo and while I do believe that bakugo was supposed to be a challenge for izuku, Izuku ended up outgrowing him but hori still had to make sure that bakugo was relevant so he gave him power ups and made him kill kurogiri and watch AFO die. Bakugo's character revolves around izuku and in a badly written way (it's not like Narutos character that very much circles sasuke and learns from his experiences) and it's bakugo who ends up being extremely aggressive towards izuku while that's not reciprocated. Izuku simply takes the hits and moves on (this is unlike sasuke who actually got his comeback on Naruto when Naruto tried to trap him in the early arcs)

Both Naruto and sasuke get development outside of eachother and are able to feel good and bad emotions about one another but Izuku can't feel bad emotions about bakugo. Both Naruto and sasuke are well developed (to a certain extent kishi drops the bar when it came to the last arc) and kishi takes time to properly develop and delve into their characters while giving the perspective of both characters equally unlike horikoshi who robs Izuku of intropsection and agency while bending bakugos character so far that he seems ooc in some moments like the 'apology' he gave.

Both Naruto and sasuke have their own feats and accomplishments outside of one another's help but I can't say the same for bakugo and izuku.

I see Adam called "queercoded" so often and it really makes me wonder... why? Where is the line until we can consider a character actually queer and why the hell would Adam not cross it?

I'm sorry but there is nothing 'coded' about Adam - his character is loudly and unambiguously gay on-screen and can be called such!!

He spends the entire show looking for a male significant other and professing his love for one of the male leads. His gestures and dialogue are overtly romantic, including physical touch. His whole storyline hinges in part on 'he is under pressue to get into an arranged marriage with a woman but he is seeking a male s/o'.

And we know the love thing is not just a meaningless gimmick - it even excludes characters he's not attracted to (like Miya, who is explicitely excluded on account of being too young for him)!!

In interviews about Adam falling in love, the Director of the show uses his canonical feelings for Langa as a reference point because... duh. That's his canon love interest, why wouldn't she?

And if that isn't enough, there is an episode preview in which he just completely blatantly states "Hello my name is Adam SK8 and I would like to have sexual intercourse with another guy, I'd love to just tie him up and service top him~".

If "I want to sleep with another man" is not enough to consider a character canonically mlm, then what on Earth is?? Okay, the word 'gay' didn't fall but should it need to when we're operating on this level of explicit sexual attraction to the same gender?!

"But he is just into Langa because he is projecting his childhood trauma / dealing with his mental illness!!" - yes, sure, those are components on why he latches onto him. But those components don't override the presence of attraction - real humans also choose their partners based on a variety of psychological and/or shallow reasons!! That's just how it goes!!

SK8 is likely never going to be a BL romance, but that doesn't mean it's impossible for it to have explicitely queer characters.

Adam is into men. This is a major part of SK8's main plot.

“lesbians cannot be attracted to or love trans women bc they aren’t women and forcing lesbians to like penis is disgusting” VS “all lesbians have to love trans women regardless of anatomy because they are real women otherwise they’re transphobic”

like…. when will y’all realize that trans women are not a monolith. trans genitalia is not always a penis Or a vagina! Being gay and navigating sexual intimacy with a trans partner is a unique experience. Lesbians are allowed to be uncomfortable around penises but also! saying that Real lesbians could never be attracted to trans women bc of what’s in their pants is a shallow take bc it ignores both the endless variety in trans genitalia and also the impact of romantic attraction

new mani backstory under the cut

Mani Hersteller was taken from his parents at a young age while living in Dorado. Vishkar was collaborating with Lumerico on new operational enforcement technology. They took Mani, as well as other young children around the area, to their laboratory. There, they were spliced with the S1REN (Splice 1 Regulation Engagement) gene. Essentially, these children were able to activate a light source behind their eyes that instantaneously hypnotized the target. They were raised in the laboratory, trained to use their powers to control “unruly” sections of the population.

The children weren’t willing to do it. Mani was 13 when the rebellion happened. A few of the older kids had subdued a guard, and were urging others kids in the unit to do the same. But the commotion alerted the scientists. In an act of desperation, the lab technicians fused two experimental hard light cores, causing the whole building to explode. No one made it, except for Mani. Mani had managed to steal a sidearm pistol from a guard and escape by himself while everyone else was destroying the labs.

Now alone on the streets of Dorado at 13, Mani didn’t know anyone. He tried to get as much distance from the remains of the laboratory as possible, but he didn’t get far. As he was wandering down an alley, a Los Muertos group approached him. They offered him protection, so long as he didn’t turn on them. With no other options, Mani accepted. They worked together for awhile, until one of the more important members of Los Muertos took interest: Sombra. He became her pet project, teaching him about how the world really worked.

By the time Mani was 18, he was a professional. Between himself and Sombra, there was nothing they couldn’t do. But Mani was tired of living on the move, so he and Sombra set up a fake identity for him. He moved to Germany, where he found out his father was from, and started a band. One day, an anti-omnic extremist group attacked the joint Mani and his band were playing at. Sombra was tasked with talking to the group, but only used it as a disguise to pick up Mani. Then the extremist group dropped a bomb. Mani was taken back to Talon headquarters where his damaged bones were replaced with bionic ones. He now works for them as a mind-wiper and spy.
