This screenshot carried the show

I appreciate you taking the time to explain your side—it’s way more thought-out than a lot of the discourse floating around, and I respect that. I think a lot of what you’re saying boils down to the difference between how people approach canon, and how they approach interpretation—and where those two things collide, especially in a fandom as big and heated as MHA’s.

You’re absolutely right that Horikoshi has only explicitly confirmed a few LGBT characters, and yeah, that matters—especially in a country like Japan where representation is still a sensitive topic. Canon is canon. But I think where we diverge is in how we treat what’s not canon. People using headcanons or reading queer subtext into character dynamics isn’t the same as claiming canon, even if fandom excitement sometimes blurs that line.

Interpretation has always been part of fandom culture—especially for marginalized fans who never got to see themselves in canon growing up. So when people say they see queer dynamics in bkdk, it’s not necessarily them rejecting canon; it’s them engaging with the story in a personal way. The emotional depth, the tension, the growth between Bakugo and Midoriya is intense—and people connect to that. Not everyone sees it as romantic, and that’s fine, but people who do aren’t delusional or disrespecting Horikoshi by doing so.

That said, the harassment you described? Completely unacceptable. No one should be told to kill themselves over a ship. That’s not “passion,” that’s toxicity—and it happens across all corners of fandom, even if you’ve mostly seen it from bkdk fans. I’ve seen plenty of ugly behavior come from other ship groups too, and I don’t think any one fandom owns toxicity. But if you were genuinely harassed like that? I’m sorry that happened to you, and you absolutely deserve to feel safe expressing your interpretations just like anyone else.

But the flip side is that queer fans also face harassment just for shipping a gay couple or reading queerness into a story. They’re not always attacking—they’re often defending. There are plenty of people who use “it’s just a headcanon” as a shield for saying really homophobic stuff. That’s why some bkdk fans are on edge. It’s not about labeling every disagreement as homophobic, but rather about patterns: dismissing queer readings while fully embracing weaker straight ones, mocking queer headcanons, or calling people delusional for something that’s been a part of fandom culture forever.

And while I get that queer coding can be complicated and sometimes rely on stereotypes, it’s also historically how queer people were allowed to exist in media for decades. It’s valid to be wary of that, but it’s also valid to explore it—especially when the subtext is there, whether intentional or not.

Finally, on the “let people ship” thing—I meant that literally. People should be able to engage with stories however they want, whether that’s canon-faithful, headcanon-heavy, romantic, platonic, or anything in between, so long as they’re not harming others. That includes you wanting to see bkdk as brotherly. That’s 100% valid. The problem is when either side starts treating the other like they’re ruining the story for everyone else just for seeing something differently.

So yeah—thanks for explaining your side. This kind of respectful convo is rare in fandom spaces, and I hope more people can have these discussions without turning it into a warzone.
