some peeps: “u-u whoever ships them is toxic and not paying attention to the story u-u”
Oh yeahhhh and this
Everyone ship them
aaand this is how I unfollow
I don’t mind the ship in fics, you know? i get fixing it and making their relationship good
but in canon? Bakugou literally told Izuku to kill himself over not having a quirk
Izuku used to flinch from just being next to him
yeah Izuku wants to be friends with him becuase He Be Like That
their classmates want Bakugou to stop being awful to Izuku and they are 100% correct
‘narrative pushes them to be together’ because its a fucking point of tension and generates conflict that makes for a better story
just, if you don’t understand why it’s toxic to ship a victim with their bully, even when the bully is adamantly refusing to rethink their behavior and continually blames the victim for ‘bringing it onto themselves’
