Characters Whose Naiveness Is A Form Of Protest, My Beloved. Who Know That There Are Dark Things Below

Response to homophobia 2

Homophobe: God hates gays!

Kirishima: *gestures to Bakugou* Then why do men like that exist?

Jirou: The gay feeling of seeing a pretty woman in a suit,,,,,, iconic

Iida: Please vote me for class president!

Bakugou: What is this, a political ad?

Kaminari, laughing in the background:

Bakugou: How did you say an image out loud?

There’s not too much point in talking about the election anymore, but I think some people are misconstruing the results. 21% of the American population voted for trump. He won the popular vote with polls only recording a 43.7% approval rating, and he has never held an approval rating over 50%, something that Biden and (arguably) Harris have. He lost millions of votes from 2020 to 2024, it’s just that Harris lost millions more.

All this is to say that there is not some ‘silent majority’ of trump supporters in America. While some people will definitely be emboldened in their rhetoric and action by the results of the election, Trump was a deeply unpopular president, and is shaping up to be one again. He will enact unpopular policies that are against the will of the average American, but that doesn’t mean every American is out to get you. Engage with your local community, check in on loved ones, and maybe even take a look at local political offices in the coming few years. If you dislike the two party system, volunteer or donate to a third party. It’s altogether likely we see another 2022 situation, resentment grows further against the Republican Party, and the midterms offer a lot of opportunity to alternatives, at every level of government.

It may all feel like the end, but it’s not. We’ve been through it before, and no matter what we do, hate and ignorance will bleed through the cracks in society again in the future. It’s going to get better, but that’s easier to say if we make it better.

I'm not the first or last to see this and post it but this is my serotonin for today.

Sero: When did you ask out your idiot?

Bakugou: My idiot asked me out.

Kirishima, proudly: I’m his idiot.

People who still follow me from a while ago frighten me. Like this train long ago left the tracks, idk why you’re still onboard

Uraraka: Midoriya has immense amounts of shade to throw.

Uraraka: Mainly throws it at Iida.

Uraraka: Today’s target is Bakugou.

Ah yes, the 3 genders. Male, female, and “what the fuck are you, a cop?”
