Just wanted to add to this
People who "kin" or "Stan" bakugou is fine but the mfs who straight up defend him for something that is barely part of the narrative are the mfs that need help
What do I mean by this, I mean the purpose full mischaraterizion of his character and why he bullied deku
The "abusive family" headcanon to justify him especially, nowhere in the narrative is it said he has a bad homelife, are his parents perfect NO but are they abusers no, nowhere in the narrative is that a point or a reasion for his actions
[ Having headcanons is fine, but you need to understand that it's not part of the point, nor is it relitive to the main narrative or an excuse for his actions ]
The story GIVES YOU THE REASON to your face and you refuse it because it doesn't match the narrative you made
Mha is a commentary on society and how they treat different people [minorities] and the consequences of the society that refuses to help when it matters
[ It's not a perfect commentary, but it IS a COMMENTARY on our society]
Bakugou fits the "spoiled kid who was never told no"
No, he isn't "misunderstood." he's a kid who was never told no because of good genetics, and adults who actively indulged and tolerated his behavior, and because of that, he grows a MASSIVE but fragile ego
He's what happens when a nepo baby is never told no YES IM GOING THERE
Yes you are aloud to like bakugou but the kid you are kining is not bakugou
[it's fine to prefer headcanons/fanon over Canon but you got to realize that fanon and Canon are separate]
stop talking about fanon as if it's canon
Stop excusing his behavior he's the definition of a nepo baby who can getaway with anything because "he has a good quirk" and that's it he's not "tragic" "abused" or "misunderstood" he's a bully who has never experienced a firm no in his life for his behavior
Now the why he bullys deku
And 2 because he's a threat, what do I mean by that exactly, in order to answer that we need to know why bakugou wants to be a hero
ok bakugou is someone who wants to be the top for 2 reasons
1 because he wants the glory because he wants power to be the best ie power without the responsibility
2 because of the praise all he heard growing up was "thats an amazing quirk you will be a good hero" so to put it simply because that's what's expected of him
So why does he bully deku, because deku is the imbodyment of what he isn't deku wants to become a hero even with his powerless body because he wants to help for the sake of helping somthing bakugou doesn't have an sees as a threat
Because if deku the nobody can become a hero that means everything he was told about himself is wrong
And he would rather never face that reality so to insure that deku never trys he bullies him to "keep him in his place"
You are aloud to like cruel or controversial characters. I'd be a hypocrite if I said you couldn't afterall I'm a lov fan
But stop mixing Canon with fanon, if you wanna make bakugou a victim of domestic abuse for an au or fic go ahead.
But it will never be Canon and when you come into spaces that talk about conan with fanon information like the 2 are the same and use it as an excuse for something he canonically dose or doesn't do you need to leave
Touch some grass take a break re watch the show with a different perspective and do your research then come back and talk about canon
Have your headcanons ships aus and stuff, but recognize that there is a canon and canon isn't obligated to follow your narrative
