In light of the last ask I got, it's so interesting that now Izuku is getting hate. Because when he was a blank prop who worshipped Bakugou at every turn, that was fine. When he didn't show a hint of malice against Bakugou, that was defended as him just not holding a grudge. But now that he's exercising agency against his abuser as a conscious adult who's (presumably) had time to come to terms with his trauma, y'all are mad?
Bakugou stans and BakuDeku shippers never cared about Izuku. They only cared about how he could make Bakugou look better. Now that he isn't doing that anymore, he's being thrown out like garbage
What is with the constant fetishisation of rape and SA on this app and in fan fiction?? I get people have their kinks n shit but rape??? Really???
Not only that but the amount of pedophilia and incest is insaneš
I try not to be judgemental but I donāt get why you would want to read about yourself or someone else being SA how does that not make you uncomfortable and normalising shit like that is so not okay. It is not romance. It is not dark romance. Itās abuse and itās gross.
I get that people are into different things and that you canāt control what you like most of the time but the normalisation of this stuff is crazy and so damaging especially to minors and victims.
I get CNC like atleast thereās consent in that but straight up violent rape fiction is weird and scary.
Anyway thanks for reading my lil rant!! love you all, stay happy and safe MWAH š
Edit: I have a reblog answering a few questions š«¶
So about Shinsou: The first thing we see Shinsou do is talk down to 1-A and talking about how he wants to be in the hero course. I was expecting him to therefore be someone who tries really hard despite everything to be a hero.
Unfortunately as seen in his fight with Midoriya he is nothing like that. Shinsou talks shit to Midoriya about quirks and discrimination but when Midoriya breaks free of the mind control, he wins easily. Someone who wants to be a hero should definitely be able to throw a punch or dodge. Instead he instantly loses. This scene proves to me that he isn't hero material at all. Not to mention the fact that he was talking to Midoriya of all people about being looked down upon because of his quirk.
Midoriya is someone who has faced far more quirk based adversity than Shinsou and this scene felt like it was setting up for a moment between the two boys (or at least some kind of comparison or parallel).
One of Shouji's main things is that people find him scary so he wears a mask. He has clearly been seen as a villain but he's not an asshole like Shinsou is.
At this point Shinsou seems like a perfect rival for Midoriya. They both have quirk related issues, they both want to be heroes, and they both have reasons to interact. Midoriya because he wants to help Shinsou like he did Todoroki and Shinsou because he clearly likes to tell people he wants to beat them.
Shinsou very clearly could have, and should have been everything Bakugou is. And unlike Bakugou he doesn't have 12 years of abusive history to slow him down. Instead Horikoshi rarely brings him up and fans fawn over him despite the fact he's just a loser jerk.
Canon Shinsou has nothing redeeming about him and hasn't improved one bit. Aizawa favours him and gives him special treatment and never seems to berate him for verbally abusing both Midoriya and Ojiro (who he called a monkey). At least in the lightnovels we see him feel remorse for what he said to Ojiro (but not for Midoriya).
At the very least his hero motivation could be to uplift those with so called villain quirks but even his hero motivation seems to be non-existent. All in all Shinsou had so much opportunity to be an interesting character but instead his lack of character development paints him as nothing but a jerk and a bully, proving once again that Horikoshi hates all character development.
Maybe he would have had the time to improve his character if a certain someone (Bakugou) didn't take up most of the character time.
Scared of Lightnings. His first time wasn't a good experience, it brought him bad memories. š©ļø
the full cover i did for @kizukizine2023 š„ššš„
it's based on "the night parade of a hundred demons", where a whole bunch of supernatural creatures parade into the real world. it's pretty iconic imagery to me, and the two most immediate examples i have of it being referenced is jjk's s2 op2 and the bridge crossing scene in spirited away.
other fun facts: the moon in the back is a waxing moon (one of the translations for kizuki/upper moon) and is visually inspired by botw's blood moon; hantengu is holding gyokko's vase lol; the character on their lamps is the one that denotes their being an upper moon, so they all have it in their eye as well.
hope yall pick up a copy of this digital zine!
So I was looking around the bnha subreddit and found a forum asking who everyone's least favorite hero (besides endeavor because that would be too obvious). One comment talked about how uwabami wasted momo and itsukas potential, and one of the replies said this about momo:
live suchusoid reaction:
I'd tear this argument down myself, but I'm to tired and hungry, so I was wondering what your thoughts on this were.
Ugghhhh, it's 1 AM. I was gonna leave the rest of my asks for a more motivated me.
This has, officially, motivated me. For this ask specifically, the rest of y'all will have to wait.
So!
Momo's quirk is insanely powerful. Her quirk is creating objects out of her lipids, though the measure is never really clear.
She isn't even fazed by creating a canon. Which! By the way! A canon is roughly 600kg. Six. Hundred.
That is over 10 times her weight. And that isn't even the limit.
All we know is that she cannot create living organisms, but it's also not clear if this includes things such as bacteria. Because it's unclear, I'll only look at inanimate objects.
Momo is literally only held back by her creativity, and thus Horikoshi's creativity.
She's insanely powerful and versatile.
Oh, the villain has a fire quirk? Time to make a fite extinguisher!
Oh, the villain has a wood-based quirk? Time to make a flamethrower!
Oh, a civillian is bleeding out? Time to create a medkit!
Oh, someone's drowning? Time to make an oxygen tank!
Her quirk is only limited by what she knows and her ability to think on the fly. That is all. Because there is no known limit to how much she can make.
It isn't that her quirk isn't OP, it's that Horikoshi didn't allow Momo to use her quirk to her full capacity.
Like, against Tokoyami, she could have easily created flashbombs to weaken him, or a flamethrower to keep a consistent amount of light.
She could destroy Bakugou simply by creating gunpowder and throwing it at him - he'd blow himself up. Or making a hose and spraying him.
Most of all: she could make a gun. Like, it's so weird that so many mangakas forget that guns exist, because so many people in MHA could be beaten by a gun.
Momo has the ability to create anything she needs to beat her opponent. It's literally just her ability to adapt and her (or Horikoshi's) creativity.
Fuckingā LOOK AT FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST!
Ed is far more limited in his alchemy than Momo is with her quirk, in that he can only transmute things if the cost is equivalent. But he's still far more creative than Momo is in the use of his abilities.
Heck, even Senkuu from Dr. Stone has more creativity than Momo, and he doesn't have any supernatural abilities.
Momo's quirk is OP, and she would be awful as plain fanservice.
I'm not against fanservice. Heck, I love both One Piece and Fairy Tail - fan service is not unwelcome. But, fan service should be done in moderation and some series just don't need it. Also, the context does matter.
Bringing up FMA again, the only fan service we get is from Lust who, shocker, is the personification of lust. Her entire being is lustful, so it makes complete sense for her to be fan service. But she also serves other purposes, and doesn't exist solely for fan service.
In MHA, it's fine to include fan service if it has a point.
Mount Lady is introduced via fan service to show how female heroines have to act in order to gain fame. Uwabami emphasises this, as does Midnight.
However, a theme that was (attempted to be) shown was 'Old vs New Generation'. All those heroines showcasing their fan service were part of the older generation, and the new one was supposed to change the status quo.
Momo and Kendou were both shown to be disgruntled at the idea of using their sexuality to gain fame, and were far more focused on actually becoming heroes and bettering their abilities.
To say that Momo should have only existed for fan service is completely missing the point and invalidating her character.
If anything, she should have been able to show skin without it being sexualised. In the same way male fan service was used to show strength, Momo (and other female characters) should have had fan service to show their strength, rather than being sexualised.
People like the person in that image frustrate me, because they have no idea what they're talking about.
"At best, a canon that doesn't move," NO!
At best, a fucking hydrogen bomb. She could create nuclear weapons. She could do so much, it's Horikoshi who limits her.
ok so
beyond being gross and weird I think thereās something to be said about the lack of literary analysis in proshipping (this post is about mp100 in particular but this can apply elsewhere)
thereās two points Iām getting at here: lack of understanding of the characters being interpreted, and intent of author
first of all, the common rebuttal to āhe would not fucking say thatā is āitās just fiction and for funā (which is just a really common rebuttal for everything but thatās beside my point). But that point lacks acknowledgement that their interpretation isnāt based on the source material. For example: Reigen, the guy who notoriously stood up against a terrorist organization to keep kids from being in danger, being interpreted as a pedophile (thereās no soft way to put it). Itās going directly against what is set up in a (in my opinion) disrespectful way. Also thereās a point to be made about trampling over platonic relationships for the sake of shipping and how that applies to proship but i digress!
There are methods to have characters act in ways they would not normally. In fact, most of my favorite fics across all of my fandoms do this!! What they all have in common is an understanding of that character that explains what pushed them to the point of deconstructing their own morals and values. āWouldnāt it be fucked up if this happened?ā works so much better when you can see how it led to that point. And even then Iād venture to say there are some lines that shouldnāt be crossed, knowing these characters do in fact belong to the author, but me drawing lines in the sand isnāt going to be accurate to everyoneās view. Itās always going to be a nuanced topic!
Second of all is the importance of authors intent when reading. Rather than applying this to the base media, however, Iām pivoting focus onto those creating proship content. What is their intent while writing? Through unfortunate exposure in Multiple fandoms I see these common reasons: fluffy content with or without acknowledging the ship being (for lack of a better word. i wish i knew a better one) problematic, dark content such as gore or rape, or (thereās no way to put this lightly) jackoff material. Keep in mind these are generalizations, but im also not giving some of these people the time of day to add defenses.
The āfluffyā content I can sometimes see as the author of the content not understanding the consequence of the ship itself (incest and pedophilia bad) due to a multitude of factors, and I genuinely do think there are learning experiences for them in non negative or aggressive ways. Dark content I can make a case that this is a form of self harm whether intentional or unintentional, however for some this gets looped into the last category. Finally, itās pretty obvious some people just yank their shit to incest and pedophilia and I REALLY donāt think I need to explain why thatās bad. Point is, itās important to consider proshippers intent, and how itās more complex than just gross people who are intentionally malicious. I think thereās learning experiences here for every proshipper, however those who refuse to acknowledge that their actions have consequences (entirely different post to make there about how proshipping can in fact have real life repercussions) I hold a special vendetta against.
To conclude Iāll say Iām not someone who calls myself an āAntiā. Do I hate proshipping? Yes, absolutely I do. But I also enjoy fiction with darker topics that are handled in a critical manner!! Think Oyasumi Punpun. Good manga btw, absolutely horrifying though. I donāt think dark subjects should be kept out of fiction but I do think they should be handled with care.
The way Muzan walks in this scene has been criticized for beingĀ ācarelessā orĀ ārude,ā and I see why people would say that considering his seeming disregard for the dead bodies, but I would like to propose an alternate theory. When I was watching this episode (and before I had seen anyone else comment on this scene), I noticed that his walk seemed oddly familiar to me and I think Iāve figured out why. Itās the way someone walks when they are actively thinking about how theyāre walking.
I have an autoimmune joint condition that causes pain in my hips and back, and when it flares up, I have to force myself to stand up super straight and take really calculated steps when I walk to avoid doing things that cause the pain to get worse. I try take the straightest possible path, to not to change my steps by stepping over things to reduce variables that could make me āmess upā and move in a way that hurts. Muzanās walk here looks a lot like my walk when I am doing this. Heās consistent, heās stiff, he keeps a straight line, and he avoids stepping over or on things.
This makes sense given his backstory. Not only did he grow up chronically ill, heās also permanently injured from Yoriichiās past attacks on him. Heās probably in some amount of pain (or at least is very familiar with chronic pain). Even despite him becoming a demon and gaining a stronger body, you can still see it in the way he moves. Heās methodical about using his body in a way that only those who have suffered through chronic pain would be.
MHA is like those webtoons where the kids are always fighting and it's just like "where are the adults??" (like Weak Hero) except the adults are right there and just doing basically nothing.
a lot of mp100 is about the loss of youth actually. mob couldnāt let himself be a kid because he was scared of losing control, ritsu couldnāt have a normal relationship with his brother bc of the incident, serizawa grew up in that room, shou couldnāt be a kid because of claw, teruās been alone and hiding from terrorists for god knows how long... i think the most important thing in mp100 is how each character reclaims that time and experience they lost because of circumstances they couldnāt control. mob laughing being the last panel of mp100 is something that can be so personal
It is crazy how much Nicki hates literally any woman that is blowing up in rap. Holy hell.
