Guys, if I'm being honest, the plot of MHA kinda makes me mad. Like, there's this whole thing they could've done where Izuku became the first quirkless hero, but nooo, there's this super convenient quirk that just HAPPENS to belong to the #1 hero and just HAPPENS to be super op and just HAPPENS to be the only quirk in existence that can be passed on. Plus, the LOV and Stain make good points about hero society being broken. It's OBVIOUS. They just go about it the wrong way. On top of that, the whole M*n3ta thing is BS. The fact that it got into a hero school and hasn't been expelled basically tells people like it that it's okay for them to behave like that. It's not FUNNY, it's not CUTE, it's not OKAY.
And yeah, there are good aspects to the MHA universe as well, and overall I LOVE the fandom, but the bad kind of out-weighs the good, at least to me. That's part of the reason I stopped watching MHA. It just.... so many things in it are just kind of wrong. I get that the villains needed a reason to be villains and hero society being corrupt not only gave that to them, it was PLAUSIBLE, but why do none of the hero students see that? I wanted stuff out of MHA that is probably NEVER going to happen, and there is stuff in MHA that never SHOULD'VE happened(mainly M*n3ta)
Lastly, the issue of Bakudeku. I can KINDA see why it's shipped, it CAN be cute in some contexts, but like Bakugo also bullied Izuku for YEARS, and he's still an asshole. So many fics just kind of ignore that, or they use it in the beginning for conflict then just kind of.. drop it. Bakugo physically, emotionally, and socially bullied Izuku. He s**cide baited our broccoli, and we as a fandom are just kind of... ok with it? If he changed, then why does he still call Izuku "Deku?" He acts like a villain, but we're blinded by his potential and we don't see it. HE doesn't see it because he was taught to believe that he, as the strong, had the right to step on the weak, so he doesn't see it as "villainous". 1/2
