Time to shit on Bakugou
I've seen so many takes of "oh Endeavor is meant to be a parallel showing what Bakugou could have become if he never improved"
Where once again the actions show he has not fucking changed.
Also, why wouldn't he want to be like Endeavor? The guy by the end of the series retired as the number 1 hero, is fucking rich, tons of support, including the now HPSC president Hawks, Deku indirectly calls Natsuo unkind for not forgiving him, Rei is seen pushing his electric wheelchair even with three young able-bodied heroes right fucking there. Everyone who criticizes either of them is always casted as wrong end of story
Shoto is for some reason his friend, just like Deku and the Bakusquad, despite the fact that he treats all of them like shit. And the only punishments he ever get is either shared despite the other person not doing shit to deserve it (He forced Deku to fight him, and Shoto was literally being attacked by Isasa), or oh he's not the number one hero because he's just that mean to the press
The narrative never lined up with Bakugo, in that nobody ever responded to him naturally as their characters should have.
How they should have responded based on their own personalities and beliefs.
Stain, Dabi, Aizawa, kirishima, Mina, Iida, Shoto or even ochako.
All of them should have had big issues throughout the series with Bakugo for many reasons.
And even if one ignores all of this and focuses strictly on Bakugo, the delivery on his personal "growth" never really culminated in much real change either.
Because the final chapter shows he's still in the same place as he was during the provisional license exam, his attitude not being great with the civilians he's saving/protecting.
He was failed in the exam for this attitude and skated by through the make-up test.
(By being able to calmly talk to a single kid once I guess?)
Then nearly a decade later, he's still doing the same thing! š
It's kind of ridiculous when you look at all of it, like: "Where were we going with this??"
imagine getting mad because people don't like you glorifying and fetishizing rape/abuse

I adore Kosmonauttihaiās comics. And the thought wouldnāt leave my head especially after the new trailer so.
AU where Blue and Indy (I call him Indy because I donāt want to type out indoraptor every time š) escape together and have a baby.
This was mostly a piece I did as a personal creativity break from my poster work.
The fact that Horikoshi had ALL the opportunity to have a "power of friendship" moment with the League coming together and breaking Tomura out of the possession/mind control and going on to band together against AFO but instead chose to kill them off or imprison them without any closure is my villain origin story
it feels so good to know that a lot of people either still hate bkg and/or hate how his redemption was written and dont just suck up to his mediocre writing https://x.com/blar_wolf/status/1915288020376310177?s=46
I will be honest I haven't touched Twitter in a while, but it is finally good to see people waking up and critiquing bakugo's character in masses. From the time I used to be on Twitter, there were a few that would call out Bakugo and his horribly written character arc, but most of it was silenced by bakugo stans and the overwhelming support his character continously received.
I do hope that this behaviour continues and people actually critique mha as a whole based on writing quality of horikoshi and not on fandom. Yes, I believe that the fandom should be criticised for their actions but a lot of people have resorted to defending mha by saying that the show is good but the fandom is bad which is false in my opinion since there are unpleasant things in both the story and fandom!

If you were to ask me how would I describe Bakugoās development in short words, it would come across as being boring and predictable. Letās start with the fact that despite being a secondary character, Bakugo has no real purpose/contribution in the main story line. His involvement with Deku and OFA doesnāt amount to anything other than mindless yelling, guilt tripping, and just him treating it as a competition to try and surpass Deku when he unlocks his other quirks. The only reason heās involved in a lot of whatās going on is because of his popularity. He started gaining popularity when he won the Sports festival and because everyone like the stereotypical angry rival trope. He can be replaced by literally any other character and nothing would change.
Itās basically a pattern whenever Bakugo is involved with something.
- Bakugo will treat others beneath him and continue to call the extras.
- Whatever is going in the story if itās a fight between the villains or something school related, heāll treat it as a competition.
- Heāll either verbally attack Deku and everyone around them or get physical to get what he wants.
- Deku wonāt see this as an issue and continue to gush over Bakugo about how heās a good friend and the idea of him being the symbol of victory
-Anyone that calls out his horrible behavior will do a complete 180 and talk about how whatever he said either makes sense or to give some baseless excuse about how he changed
- Aizawa, All Might and or anyone in UA will make some claim about how his some kind of an inspiration for 1A and Bakugo is trying harder than everyone else(completely ignoring all of 1Aās accomplishments and improvements throughout their first year)
- After winning or coming out on top whatever Bakugo will take his win for granted and will act like it doesnāt mean anything while acting aggressive when someone compliments him
- What ever punishment or consequences he gets(not matter how fatal is) will be minor and the story will find to way to have him come out at top without any struggle
- The story will have characters feel bad, guilty for Bakugo for something so minuscule and or try to punish them in a similar manner like Bakugo (A recent example of the story punishing characters because of Bakugoās actions is in the Card OVA. I didnāt bother watching it because I knew it was just a product plug for training cards but from what I viewed from other peopleās discussions, the match between Deku and Bakugo ends with a tie. Apparently Bakugo threw another hissy fit and not only destroyed the card game but blew up the dorm with everyone inside. Instead of punishing Bakugo for destroying public property and potentially injuring his classmates, Aizawa decides to punish all of Class 1A and ban them from playing any other games in the dorm.)
I know everyone has their own interpretation on how they feel about Bakugo and thatās perfectly fine. I donāt have problem if you like him, but Bakugo is written as if everything he did or stood for never mattered. Izuku, Class 1A , UA and by extension Horikoshi, wants the audience to believe that all the positive aspects about his character somehow outweigh the negatives and weāre supposed to accept that Bakugo has fully grown while at the same time instantly forgiving him for being a spiteful and petty bully. No matter what happens to him, heāll still come out on top as if what he went through wasnāt consequential or lethal. Heās constantly giving wins and random asspulls to favor him despite either doing the bare minimum of his supposed development or not doing anything at all. Bakugo in the eyes of others will always be seen as the true MVP and is the one that always has to win. Heās nothing but a pet under the care of his creator who will go out of his way to make every other character look bad and pathetic than they already are; including the main protagonist.
Part of why I love Muzan in KnY is because I relate to him. While his objective actions in the story are obviously evil, I think heās a lot more sympathetic than the writers want him to be. This essay explores Muzanās backstory, his treatment by the narrative, and my feelings toward the use of his character. As such, it contains MAJOR MANGA SPOILERS. THIS IS YOUR WARNING. This piece is not trying to ācancelā KnY for ableism or to say anything about the views of the mangaka/anime screenwriters/etc. I enjoyed KnY, and if youāre thinking about giving it a shot, I do recommend it. This is just a self-reflective piece that I wrote to process my own experiences with chronic illnesses in my own life and analyze the nuances of a piece of media that I love.
