ok so this is literally not relevant at all but I hc that todoroki is just. the king of catching feelings. like he has a crush on (in order from biggest to smallest): kaminari, sero, midoriya, bakugou, yaoyorozu, shinso, and tsuyu. he is also consequently jealous of uraraka, kirishima, jiro, monoma, and ashido. he doesn't need to be jealous of anyone for kaminari and sero because they are his boyfriends.

This is a really good point and I probably could've phrased it better! I was trying to say, it's less that the people around him are influencing him now and more that he was in an echo chamber in middle school. And I do believe he was in an echo chamber. Throughout the flashbacks to his and Midoriya's past, I don't believe we ever see any adult standing up to him. In fact, I don't think we see ANYONE standing up to him other than Midoriya himself (which is important, because it's one of the main foundations of Midoriya's character).
When Bakugou gets to UA, one of the first interactions he has with his classmates is someone telling him off! Iida yells at him for being impolite and having his feet on the desk iirc. And then it happens again: Tsuyu and Kaminari both criticize him for his cruelty and general assholery on the bus to the USJ. And even if Bakugou's classmates don't hate him, even if after a certain point they start to like him, the one thing they never do? They never shut up when he acts like a dick. There's pretty much almost always a snide comment or an objection from one of them— and this extends to their teacher, too! Mr Aizawa may not care so much about Bakugou hurting people's feelings, but he'll sure as hell step in when his temper gets in the way of his schoolwork (which it often does; emotional dysregulation is almost never useful in any meaningful way).
I won't say I think Bakugou never would have changed if not for 1-A, or Aizawa. I truly believe that he is a good person at his core, and wouldn't have turned villain or whatever, maybe he would've even eventually shown some of the growth he has now if left to his own devices. But to be surrounded by a posse of morally absent yes-men, and to be in a school environment in which none of the teachers seem willing to check you, is not conducive to personal growth, especially when you're literally just a dumbshit middle schooler with way too much power (no offense lol)
All this to say, you are absolutely right for thinking he made a conscious effort to be better, and I hope you agree with my analysis as well!

"but I'm fat—" shut up, no, so am I and we're both beautiful, and anything we change about ourselves is for ourselves, not others.
"but I have acne—" and???? If it bothers YOU then there are medical treatments but either way it's not "gross" and you are beautiful
"but my chest is too small/saggy" no!!! Again, if it bothers YOU then there is nothing wrong with stuffing your bra or getting surgery or whatever but you're perfect no matter WHAT you do or if you do anything at all.
"but my skin—" "my legs—" "my eyes—" "my teeth—" IT. DOES. NOT. MATTER. It doesn't matter if the source of your insecurity is something you were born with, or a recent development. It doesn't matter if you can "control" it. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO CHANGE ANYTHING ABOUT YOURSELF AND THE WAY YOU LOOK TO BECOME "GOOD ENOUGH". DIETS/PRODUCTS FULL OF CHEMICALS/APPEARANCE MODIFIERS ARE NOT EVER "NECESSARY" JUST BECAUSE SOME OTHER DUMB FUCKERS PERCEIVE YOU AS "UGLY". YOU DO THOSE IF AND WHEN YOU WANT TO!!!
Fat people are not lazy or undisciplined if they aren't trying their best to lose weight by crash dieting and killing themselves at the gym. People with acne and pimples aren't obligated to have a 12-step skincare routine with ridiculously expensive products. People with small or "saggy" chests are not required to do anything about that!! You are all beautiful I don't care anymore!!! No matter what traits you have or do not have, no matter what you do or don't do to be "better", you are still worthy.
I feel like people have tried to make this point and fallen into the trap of saying "you can't control it", thus alienating anyone who can control it (or even just thinks they can). Bestie it does not matter if it's in your control. You have never hurt anyone by looking the way you do, and nobody who is worth keeping around will treat you differently for looking the way you do. So keep putting whatever amount of effort you want to/can into your appearance. None of it is an obligation. I'm sick of people pretending it is.
Love you all bye :))))
