I’m too lazy to write fic but mineta sucks ass and I think all fic that doesn’t involve beating him up, having him be a major antagonist, or forcing him into redemption shouldn’t include him at all so here are some mineta replacement ideas because I’m tired of seeing Shinsou replace him, Shinsou being in gen ed is important to his character.
add a background character
kick someone out of class b so there are only 19 students per class
yoarashi inasa(preferably put him in class b and put a b student in class a so the whole “fuck endeavor you’re just like him” “no fuck you he sucks ass” arc is still delayed a bit)
toga himiko(I’m a sucker for a villain rehab or just a crazy bitch who still does good)(also preferably put her in class b bc Vlad would be a better teacher with her quirk)
legit just replace him with someone with the exact same quirk that doesn’t harass people for entertainment
swap him with a class b student and give him zero screen time(this is the worst option bc he still exists)
swap him with a class b student and add someone else to class b
swap him with a student from a different school(yes I know all of them minus Yoarashi are second years but shush)
have Aizawa expel him the second he walks in
add a character from canon content that isn’t the main manga/anime
add a character from a different fandom that you like or a character based on them
replace him with a character that only got in via loopholes (ex. Hatsume passed the exam by figuring out how to manually shut off the robots)
replace him with an aged down/up character
kill him off the second he walks in
