Stuff like this needs to be talked about more
Freindly reminder that you can't hate men without being queerphobic. You can't think men are inherently more dangerous, violent or sexual, or any of the other things people say about men without being inherently queerphobic.
You can't think these things about men without branding mlm as outsiders who will always be unwholesome and dangerous without women to "civilize" them.
You can't think these things about men without thinking of wlw who are more masculine as being inherently lesser for being like men.
You can't think these things about men without making most transfems seem suspect for having masculine traits, or forcing trans women to prove themselves female enough to be valid.
You can't think these things about men without telling transmascs that they are inherently degrading themselves by transitioning, or forcing them to deny their transition to be supported.
You can't think these things about men without basically calling all enbies female, and then calling all masc enbies dangerous.
You can't think these things about men without easing aspec men and/or calling their identities into question.
You can't think these things about men without basically telling intersex people they don't exist, and making intersex women feel lesser for having male traits.
If you hate men you will hate every letter in the LGBTQIA for having traits in common with men. Feminism that views men as the enemy will inevitably be Feminism only for cishet women.
Sigh, chat should I pull an all-nighter
I'm going to Bacchus tomorrow, but... 😭
Per usual I think a lot of the criticism for the newest chapter is from misunderstanding/misreading the leaks and people's perceived notions of the story and characters being proven wrong.
I have my own opinions and critics on the last chapter,but I'm not going to claim that it's Horikoshi's fault for being a 'bad writer' just because some of it didn't appeal to me. I do have a couple issues with this chapter,because that happens! I'm waiting for the official translations to come out before I really delve into it and share all of my critics. I also just wanna celebrate MHA and Horikoshi. I'm also,also waiting for the announcement on the fifth. Because me and many others believe it may be an extra chapter.
That's because I want to fairly view this chapter,and I'm frustrated with the bad faith criticism on this chapter and the series as a whole. And I plan to go over it all. My issues. My love for it. To really go over mha fairly because I actually like it. And I actually like analysis.
Also,guys,stop getting pissed off with Noguchi. Like,again,we still don't know what the announcement on the fifth is,so hold your horses and stop getting pissy with him cuz his doodles weren't in 430.
(And for the "criticism" I've seen I don't actually wanna call it criticism, because when criticism is done in bad faith it's not criticism it's just hate )
I can't get over how canon it is that bakudeku love each other. Even if it isn't romantic, they love each other so fucking much. Katsuki nearly died for Izuku TWICE, Izuku went feral over this ALSO twice. They protect each other at all costs, they mimic each other, they follow each other everywhere, they think of each other constantly.
They're childhood friends, they share the same dream, Katsuki is canonically Izuku's most important person. They lock eyes across the battle field and look at each other with hope just knowing the other is alive.
My god they love each other so fucking much??? And it's just...it's not even subtext? It's just text??
bkg dying bc he was the closest person to izuku makes absolutely NO SENSE in an izchk framed narrative. and what was she doing being gay with another woman in a completely different area. yet another reason this ending makes no fucking sense. not to mention izuku “give him back” “kacchan and the others” “you’re my image of victory” midoriya says no to a bkdk agency. horikoshi who drugged and kidnapped u this isn’t u babygirl have a snickers ur not u when ur hetero
What if it's confirmed these aren't real pages and we've been upset over some fanart???
Like this looks like hori's old art style (or in some panels not at all like his art??) Like here's his re-draw of that one Deku scene compared to a scene in the epilogue
like??? He's had so much time to work on it,so why would it look like his old art style? Especially if we can expect to see THAT (on the right) in the same volume??? Something is fishy here.
like the only people confirming this is real/cannon are leakers,and even some of the Japanese fandom is confused/upset about this. I haven't seem any of the official announcements for this,and a TON of the pages are missing. Like they're meant to be 30+and there's only like what the same ten going around?
If these were leaks they wouldn't be so high quality and they would,y'know,look like hori's art style? I know I said some of it looked ai generated,and I still do think some panels do,but this really feels like a different manga.
Story and art wise this feels empty and disconnected from the series. Like it's the exact opposite of what happened in 430. Like Hori decided that he hated Katsuki and forgot all about literally everything to do with Izuku and Katsuki's relationship?
He said he didn't want a naruto ending,but he decided to give us one in the epilogue??? He said he wanted an ending like heroes rising,so he decided to contradict the whole damn movie for this epilogue????
Nothing makes sense about this. I have hope this isn't official,but honestly I'm starting to give up on Hori,and I don't like that. I always trusted him to write what he wanted,but what I've seen and read doesn't seem like Horikoshi's,it's not mha. It feels like a dudebro wrote this.
Like Izuku is so emotionless in this. It's empty. He's empty. And I'm supposed to believe this guy drew all of THIS and decided to go back on all of it with a few pages????
this is just SOME of the recent stuff. So why the sudden change?
I really don't think this epilogue is going to be official,I HOPE it isn't,but I haven't much of a reason to think Hori wrote/drew this horse shit. Besides leakers saying so. And I don't really trust them very much,so I don't really have any reasons to think this is cannon.
But only time will tell.
What if the leaks are fake but the real one's MUCH worse
Please stop infantlizing autistic people
Stop being weirded out when we cuss. Stop being weirded out when we talk about nsfw topics. Stop being weirded out when we are semiverbal or nonverbal.
We can smoke too, we can drink, vape, and cuss and do anything normal people can do. We can have (concented) sexual relationships. We can kiss people. We can have kinks. We can like BDSM or have fetishes. We are not innocent little kids.
Just because we have a disability doesn't mean we aren't people.
Just because we sometimes need to live with someone else doesn't mean we aren't people.
Just because we don't pick up on social clues doesn't mean we aren't people.
STOP INFANTILIZING US. STOP CALLING US INNOCENT. STOP THINKING YOU NEED TO PROTECT US. WE ARE REGULAR PEOPLE TOO.
