I Find Short Tempered, Easily Angered Characters Very Funny. But If I Actually Like Them, That's On A

I find short tempered, easily angered characters very funny. But if I actually like them, that's on a separate scale, and Sakura and Bakugo are on the opposite ends.

Sakura lashes out when angry when people are being sexist, sexually harassing her, not taking serious matters seriously, blatantly antagonizing her, and taking her friendship and comradeship for granted.

Bakugo lashes out in actually cruel ways over trivial and pretty matters.

Sakura lashes out as a defense mechanism. Bakugo lashes out as an offensive tactic.

There are times when Sakura is lashing out angrily and its completely unjustified and unhealthy. There are times when Bakugo's righteous anger is the most reasonable response.

Its also interesting how their story arcs are nearly mirrored as well. Sakura starts out weaker than her peers, and her story arc is working from the bottom to be equal to, and then stronger than her peers. Bakugo starts out well beyond his peers, and is learning to accept others becoming equally strong and stronger than him. Sakura is learning confidence. Bakugo is learning humility.

Sakura is meant to be unlikable for being bitchy. But she ended up being a power fantasy for kids who've been mistreated.

Bakugo is cautionary tale about a power fantasy gone wrong. But he ends up being a power fantasy for assholes.
