Now Toshinori and Mitsuki obviously weren't intended to be abusers the same way Endeavor or Kotaro were. As awful as Horikoshi treats the manga's abuse storylines, the Todorokis and Tenko do suffer realistic psychological effects of the abuse, their abusers are either "redeemed" or killed off, and nothing about the abuse is ever portrayed as even close to comedic.

But tbh, based on the information we have, I understand people interpreting both characters as abusers. They're meant to be toxic adults whose violence is exaggerated but whose actions and words hurt their charges nonetheless. It's not a huge jump.
