Someone Made An Animatic Of Bakugou And Shoto Going To Visit Izuku At His Fast Food Job Under The Guise

Someone made an animatic of Bakugou and Shoto going to visit Izuku at his fast food job under the guise of "cheering him up." But they both just went there and laughed at him. And of course the comments were full of "I saved the world-" "Put the fries in the bag."

And I get they're supposed to be jokes, but I can't help but feel like the fandom has a tendency to make fun of Izuku's trauma. Everything he's ever gone through is always swept under the rug or ridiculed. And it's always by Bakugou fans who claim to like Izuku (they actually don't, they like Izuku being a prop for Bakugou)

Hi @sapphic-agent 👋

Honestly Iam really not surprised at all.

The MHA fandom has this very weird thing of never actually paying attention to the main character and just making fun/bullying everything that happens to him.

The McDonald's worker Izuku gag is horrible and it's not even the first time that the fandom has done something like this. Personally I just stay in MHAs critical Tumblr corner so I had to do some research into the things you mentioned and this is what I found. Both are honestly horrible.

Like I said this isn't new as the fandom has made memes of izuku and his pain multiple times.

1) either call him a crybaby and edit him crying

2) the whole hospital bed x Izuku gag ship

3) the hate that izuku has been getting by other fans (I have seen a post on Tumblr showing a screenshot of a twitter post saying that they wish izuku commits because he killed tomura)

I can't tell you the amount of times I have seen BKDK shippers romanticise bks abuse and severe bullying towards izuku whether that be using canon material or their own fanon material.

Also there's something weird about MHA fanfiction making izuku go through a hell ton of trauma (a lot are very exaggerated in times)

Tldr: Izuku's trauma is either made fun of, ignored or simply romanticised.

Spinner and most of the villain stans annoyed me this chapter.

I feel like everybody and their grandma forgets that Izuku Midoriya is 16 years old. He's a child. He's a baby. His brain isn't even fully developed yet. He knew that if he didn't do something and quickly, he and everybody he knew and loved would've died.

Izuku did what he could do. He gave up his quirk and his dreams and everybody treats him like shit over it

What else was he supposed to do? This isn't Steven Universe where everybody can just kiss and make up.

I understand Spinner's grief but bro. Your bestie is a serial killer, and his backstory doesn't change that. You can be a victim and still do terrible things. Does nobody know about the "The abused can become the abuser if they don't heal" quote?

DONT SCROLL THIS IS IMPORTANT!

im begging anyone who sees this post to prevent rapesexual, im begging you. no one will see this but if you do reblog to get the message out that these fuckers exist and dont deserve to exist heres the flag so you can know who to fucking block, report and tell to fuck off

i dont want this to ruin the pride and help with self esteem of being lgbtq+ so a signal boost from larger accounts might be nice

Not being able to understand another person who isn't hurting you is not an excuse for making their life a living hell for a decade. Bakugou would have been well within his rights to avoid Izuku if he was unnerved by him or their values just couldn't align. And if he just pushed Izuku down in the sandbox and told Izuku he couldn't play with them anymore, Bakugou would still be a little brat but nobody reasonable would be calling him abusive.

But that isn't what happened. Even from Bakugou's own words, he actively beat Izuku down again and again. Because he one-sidedly decided Izuku was looking down on him without ever speaking about it, he terrorized an already marginalized person. This isn't about whether Bakugou should have liked or gotten along with Izuku. It's about Bakugou believing he had the right to violently suppress the people around him that didn't fit into his narrative.

Bakugou clearly had deeply rooted insecurities that needed addressed that weren't handled by the people around him because in their society, physical strength is extrapolated to strength in all instances. But that in no way excuses the harm he committed towards others.
