talking it out
I have been seeing posts about how people who have been bullied project onto Midoriya and don’t accept Bakugou’s apology need to get over themselves and how sad it is they can’t move on. And…I don’t know, it just strikes me as insensitive and tasteless to just tell people to get over their trauma, like they can wash their hands clean of it simply. I was not bullied in school, but I have heard stories about how for some the bullying got so bad, they take their lives.
And to see people say, “The apology was to Midoriya, not to you, so just get over yourself”, when it can get to such degrees to a person makes me trust anything a Bakugou Stan says less and less. Trauma is trauma in my eyes, and some people can get over it, good for them, some can’t. So it’s okay to shit on their feelings? It’s like telling a victim of an abusive parent to get over it. Or an abusive relationship to get over it. Or a r*** victim to get over it.
Am I being overly sensitive? I just don’t trust individuals who tell strangers they have no idea what people went through how to live their lives as if it were that simple. If people are allowed to relate to Bakugou because of the one of two “positive traits” they personally see in him, then why aren’t people who were tormented and bullied like Izuku not able to relate to him and find the shit apology lackluster?
To me, this is what makes some Bakugou stans shitty people.
Like whichever character you want, I don't care. But how the fuck are you gonna get mad that people who were bullied hate his character? That's like telling victims of SA pr trafficking that they can't hate Endeavor. I was called the r-slur once for bringing up that out of everyone, victims of bullying have the right to hate on Bakugou's character.
Attacking real people- VICTIMS AT THAT- to defend a fictional piece of shit privileged bully is not what we should be striving for.
Izuku accepting/forgiving Bakugou is always the excuse Bakugou stans give. God forbid you bring up Izuku's lack of agency regarding Bakugou throughout the story. But even so, Izuku's a fictional character, one that's been proven to be biased and unable to advocate for himself. He's an unreliable narrator so him accepting Bakugou doesn't mean anything to me. Remember, he also defended Endeavor against Dabi.
I love him, but his POV is skewed when it comes to things like this.
No, you're not being overly sensitive. Attacking real people for not liking your favorite character (who reminds them of their trauma) is shitty
GOOD MORNING, FRIENDS !!!!!!
everytime someone downplays how bad pre-UA bakudeku was an angel loses it's fucking wings
This sequence of panels reads like a daytime tv drama.
Inasa (glaring dramatically): I'll despise you to the end of days. You have the cold eyes of your father.
Shouto: (*404 error noises*)
Izuku (playing the role of Shouto's MPDG): Oh no Todoroki-kun do you want to talk about your feelings?
Toga (as Camie): Hey ~~
Izuku: (*terrified bluescreen noises*)
Ochako (in ten layers of denial): Am I jealous she was flirting with my hetero not-crush or because she reminds my girl not-crush?
i think when people talk about dsm diagnoses being 'destigmatised' it's usually the case that what they mean is the public perception of the diagnosis name (depression, anxiety, etc) has become associated with minor, temporary, or resolvable forms of distress. the experience of being so depressed you cannot get out of bed, or brush your teeth, or work -- that experience and those behaviours have never been 'destigmatised,' only associated with other diagnostic labels in certain discourses seeking to present 'depression' as treatable or minor. it's basically a semantic nosological shift, rather than any actual 'destigmatisation' of the behaviours psychiatry exists to pathologise -- widening (minimising) the diagnosis, then just moving any leftover 'scary' symptoms to a different diagnostic bucket. it's a rhetorical shell game that does not challenge, but exists symbiotically with, the ableism that causes behaviours like "not being able to get out of bed" to be stigmatised in the first place.
i cant find the post talking about the league character designs anymore but they should have really kept the pink bandana twice got from toga during the overhaul arc as a permanent part of his character design
like aside from slightly better communicating "oh yeah, this suit is Literally the thing holding this guy together" it also looks really heckin cute
I don't really just wander the Hawks tags because I feel like it's like 80% HPSC President Hawks at this point and while if that works for people that's totally fine but it's not a timeline I'm terribly interested in. I'll be a "the HPSC are corrupt as fuck and need to be radically altered or abolished as an organization" truther til the day I die.
I still hate how that was set up and completely walked back like "nah, this whole government child assassin business is great and necessary actually, this whole ending should not leave you worried. Don't be depressing! There is nothing evil going on behind the curtain!"
