Izuku Adoption From Shitty Fandom When? - Tumblr Posts
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.
