I was in an SBG server and had a Bakudeku pfp because I liked it. Someone randomly goes, “Not the Bakudeku pfp,” and I was like, “Ohh yeah, I was in a My Hero phase and forgot to change it,” just trying to play it off. Then someone I actually thought was cool goes, “Don’t tell me you’re one of those freaks that ship Bakudeku,” and honestly?? I didn’t even know how to respond.

Me being me, I panicked and said, “One of my friends dared me to,” even though I literally just put it on because I liked it. And that moment just made me realize how toxic the MHA fandom can be sometimes. Like someone else jumped in and said, “Good,” then went on about how they ship Kiribaku and how it’s fine because they’ve watched three seasons.

Like… okay? I’ve watched every episode, multiple times. Why are we gatekeeping shipping based on how many episodes someone’s seen?? And let’s be real—none of the ships were confirmed, the series is over, and people are still fighting over which ship is “better” or more valid. Let people enjoy what they enjoy.

Also, I just wanna say the School Bus Graveyard fandom has been SO nice and chill. Y’all actually talk about the story, the art, the vibes—without getting weird or mean about it. So yeah, if you were in that convo... sorry, but these are my real thoughts.
