This Rant Is Talking About Why The Arguments Of Toxic Kiribaku Shippers That They Try To Use To Invalidate

This rant is talking about why the arguments of toxic kiribaku shippers that they try to use to invalidate any Kirishima or Bakugou ship. I honestly don't care if you disagree with this, this isn’t any hate against KiriBaku or their nice shippers. KiriBaku is a ship that i enjoy and it is completely valid.  I just want to show people who are toxic shippers why other ships are valid such as BakuKami, TodoBaku, BakuDeku, KiriKami, KiriMina etc. I will be disproving all of the arguments that they use. Warnings for talk of abuse, suicide, manga spoilers and movie spoilers.

“Bakugou hates everyone except Kirishima.”

It has been mentioned plenty of times that Bakugou and Shouto are friends. It is canon that they are friends, Bakugou may try to deny it but he would deny being friends with  anyone (this includes kirishima) Bakugou is also friends with Kaminari, this is shown in the Provisional Hero Lincense Exam Arc, Heroes Rising, The Manga, and The School Festival Arc. The friendship between Shouto and Katsuki can be seen during the School Festival Arc, Redemical Course Arc, and other episodes and chapters in the Manga. 

 “Bakugou would be abusive to everyone except Kirishima.”

I hope you understand that you cat pick and choose who an abuser would be abusive to? An abuser is an abuser, there aren’t any exceptions. This excuse is trying to make everyone else look bad just so your ship can look ‘superior’. No ship is abusive unless you write it like that, it is all based on how you portray the ship.

“Horikoshi said they slept together!”

I would like to see the evidence of this, from what I am aware it was a rumour spread around via false information.

“Horikoshi said he would make it canon!” 

No, you took something he said, twisted it, then spread it around.

“You can tell by the way he looks at Bakugou!”

Eijirou looks the same at all his friends, he considers Bakugou his best-friend. Of course he is happy when he is around Bakugou. But he is also happy when he is around people like Midoriya, Kaminari and Sero. 

"I can't fathom why someone at someone and be like they belong with bakugo or kirishima" 

Because people ship different things?? That's like me saying I can't fathom why people would ship bakugo with a girl bc I hc as gay

"They build each other up, perfectly"

 The perfect part is debatable, Kirishima lets Bakugo be a dick to him a lot and other shit but thats neither here nor there. They do build each other up but other characters also build both of them up, they're also canonically best friends so it'd be weird if they didn't imo. 

"They make each other better healthier people" 

See my points above. ^

"How do you see that and go nah they dont have chemistry" 

No ones saying they don't have chemistry, they're saying they dont think its romantic or see the romantic chemistry.

"Bakugo helps Kirishima see the value in himself" 

He does! But so do other characters, Deku, Mina, and Kaminari all help build Kirishima up notably, at least once, in the series. That's ignoring other characters too but whatever.

"Kirishima helps Bakugo see the value in others" 

Again, he does! But as I stated before other characters also do so. Either by showing they're as capable as him (Uraraka, Deku, Todoroki) or by being friends with him (Kirishima and Kaminari most notably)

In conclusion, KiriBaku is a very valid ship. But so are others, just be respectful of others ships. Bakugou and Eijirou have other friends, they have different interactions. 

Thank you to my dear friend Roman who helped me put together this rant💕 This isnt a ship hate rant, no ship hate please. { @barely-contained-panic }
