First: What if a trans kid asks their parents to show their support by attending Pride with them? What if a lesbian can only attend pride if she gets a ride from someone and the only person willing and able to drive her is her straight brother? What if a bi disabled person can't attend a large outdoor event without hands-on assistance from their straight partner? What if someone just wants to bring their fucking friends? What if, contrary to popular tumblr discourse, most queers don't inhabit perfectly pure social bubbles populated only by other queers?

Even if you assume that Touya can learn use ice the way Shouto does (not sure yet), Shoto's body is still uniquely balanced, giving him incredible endurance and a very sustainable growth path for his quirk, which makes him unique. But power aside, what makes Shouto unique is his empathy, selflessness and kindness and I think the family continues to be in dire need of that kind of hero.

But yeah, if you try to read final war arc Shouto as a power fantasy character, it won't work. He was born as Endeavor's power fantasy character but he chose a different path for himself. That's what his arc is about.
