Superheroes that are like “if we kill them we’re just as bad as they are uwu” ? Micro dick energy

All Might is really important to me as a young sick & disabled person.

no matter what your most embarrassing moment in life is, at least it’s not having fucking chat gpt write fanfic for you bc you’re too lazy to do it yourself

Shoutout to Nejire for being one of the only characters to acknowledge Izuku's feats during the Overhaul Arc.

The manga should have let them be friends. For as nerdy and neurodivergent coded as Izuku is portrayed in BNHA, the story sure goes out of its way to minimize his interaction with any weird girls

i just think they're silly

I’m calling some BS

80% of the population has a known quirk.

So, logically, 20% either are quirkless or have quirks that are hard to discover, right?

Clearly wrong, as far as literally everything the anime (not sure about the manga) has shown us.

If a whole 20% of the population were quirkless, Midoriya may have been the only member of his class without a quirk, but not his whole grade. There’s more than 80 students in a grade in any given city.

If a whole 20% of the population were quirkless, there would’ve been various interest and support groups. Mrs. Midoriya could have joined a “quirk parents of quirkless children group,” and Izuku would’ve had lots of friends, perhaps more than Bakugo.

People of similar sub cultures/disabilities/interests/minorities find each other!

In elementary school, I was the only kid who’d ever heard of my father’s religion. At the school, at least. Frequently, almost every week, I would go spend time with other kids in my age group that were being raised by parents of that religion. We were less than .05% of the local population, religion wise. I still had like 20 kids with in two years on either side of my age.

Midoriya would have more. I’d be willing to lay money on there being a kid born on the same day as him, maybe in the same hospital, who was quirkless and lived in a reasonable distance to hang out frequently, if this were a real situation.

20% of a population does not just completely isolate themselves. Especially not from others with similarities that make them the minority.

Or to put this another way, 80% of the population has a quirk. 1 in every 5 people would not.

And let’s not even get into people connecting over the internet.

This has been a plot hole rant, there may be more in the future, thanks for reading! (Feel free to add on, or, argue, I guess, if you can find a way to argue that doesn’t boil down to ‘dramatic back story’ or ‘plot convenience’)
