Honestly, it is funny to call a ship you don't like "sibling coded".
Oh, but not because "the shippers like the ship because they're like siblings" (keep in mind there are shippers who aren't into incest, so no, BakuDeku shippers aren't into BakuDeku because of that).
It's funny because you literally decide to take the route of showing how you think instead of saying "I just don't like that ship".
Like, think about it.
So you're telling me that these two characters, Midoriya and Bakugou, who have even a manga cover together that is reminiscent to the Spider-man holding Gwen-Stacy cover, Gwen-Stacy who is a LOVE INTEREST, and decide to say proudly with your chest "um, they're actually sibling coded".
You're telling me that the anime literally adds a scene of Bakugou kabedon-ing Midoriya (typically a gesture used for a romantic scene) and think they're like "siblings"?
Like, there's many instances! And none of them gives "siblings".
Even if you don't see them romantic, no one is forcing you two, you could easily admit they have a deep relationship that they don't have with anybody else. Friends could have deep relationships like that, too.
But siblings?
No... just no.
Let's be honest, haters only like to throw that out because they want the shippers to look "gross" because they hate the ship that much.
And here's my question: if you hate BakuDeku and see them as siblings and therefore condone the shippers for that, then where is that energy for the ships that are actually incestuous? Do you hate those ships just as much as you hate BakuDeku, maybe even more as those characters are blood-related?
Oh, you're just jumping on the BakuDeku Hate bandwagon because the ship being popular is an easy target for you?
I'm just saying that the arguments people being having to hate on BakuDeku be making no sense to me because they don't apply those same arguments to other ships.
"Why can't you see them as friends?" One, who said no one shouldn't or don't? Two, if you don't like the idea of them not being seen as friends... does that apply to every ship then? Or just them?
"Bakugou was mean to Midoriya". You shouldn't be shipping Bakugou with anybody then because last time I checked Bakugou was a jerk to everyone in their class and then some.
"Midoriya is straight!" When was this established and if you truly feel this way, why are you only throwing this out against BakuDeku? Because I only seen people say that when it's BakuDeku but hush mouth about other queer Midoriya ships.
Maybe it's just me, but people truly be putting in a lot of energy into this ship they supposedly hate.
I have ships I hate but I don't argue with people about those ships. Like, I don't talk about those ships unless someone brings up that ship to me.
I have likely not added many that I've reblogged to this list. Please feel free to roam my blog and/or ask/message me to add something you'd like to see on this list!

I love how we can just write “Merlin.” and we all know who’s saying it. and the tone he’s saying it in. no descriptions needed. we just Know. and i love that.
okay just stab me i guess
you were kind; i was cruel
how i look at bro when im not deeply in love with him..
I love that Arthur and Merlin are part of this huge prophecy. They are two halves of a whole, two sides of the same coin.
And then there is Gwaine who somehow managed to wiggle himself into this elite circle in the sluttiest way possible and rebranded them as strength, magic and courage
Again i have no clue what im doing but i made this
I need you to understand that when I say "comments are appreciated!" I mean that I will reply to every one of them. I mean that an email with an ao3 notification has a higher priority than a message from my mother. I mean that I will have entire discussions in the comment section if you're up for it. Message me on tumblr and I will have the same discussions on an even more unhinged level. I will dissect entire personalities and ships and fictional political structures and worldbuilding with you. I will become your new best friend. You already ARE my new best friend. At the last battle, I would raise Anduril and say "For my ao3 readers" while a single tears rolls down my cheek, and dive into the fray. I would upload from beyond the grave if someone asked about the next chapter
Imagine you’re a scary bad person and you have this big plot to kill the king only to be stopped by this little guy
