#tw suicide baiting
I wonder if antis realize that proship was the norm for most people until the last few years. Don’t get me wrong, there have always been ship wars, and there most likely always will be. But the idea that enjoying or consuming fictional taboo media must automatically mean you condone such things in real life seems to be a fairly recent development. I can’t help but wonder what’s changed.
Perhaps it’s how much more accessible and easy to use technology is now, and how wi-fi and internet access are available just about everywhere nowadays. Maybe it’s in part because parents aren’t paying attention, aren’t teaching their children proper online safety anymore; they just stick a phone or tablet in the kid’s hands and leave it at that. Maybe it’s the lure of anonymity that comes with online interactions. Anyone can say they’re someone else, or no one at all. How many anonymous burner accounts are made by antis with the express purpose of using them to spew abuse? The kind of vileness that they would never say on an account they’re personally connected to because deep down, they know it’s wrong.

It makes me wonder what’s going on in these kids lives to make them think that their behavior is “normal”. Sending gore and death threats to people is not normal. Telling people to kill themselves is not normal. Wishing for someone to be harmed or assaulted is not normal. Making burner account after burner account in order to harass someone is not normal. Telling abuse survivors that they deserved what happened to them, and that you hope it happens again is Not. Fucking. Normal. Under any circumstances.
“But they’re a proshipper!”
No, friend. They’re a person behind a screen just like you. They’re a person with thoughts and feelings and interests and hobbies just like you. Treat others the way you wish to be treated.
Kindness is free, and so are the block button and tag filtering.
I honestly like to think antis and people who support purity culture are either people from the younger generation trying to get brownie points or older people doing the same thing.
You aren’t cool or edgy for sending death threats, suicide baiting people, and sending out people’s personal information then masquerading it as a form of activism. Go back to preschool and learn the golden rule (because I’m sure all of you learned that shit in preschool) “treat others how you want to be treated”. I know none of you want to be sui-baited, have your addresses and personal information exposed, or receive death threats so
Don’t do it to others over fiction (or anything at all). It’s that simple.
Okay. I’ve never thought of an anime/manga that stooped so far from my hopes and expectations to borderline make me uncomfortable: My Hero Academia.
Something that displays abusers getting away practically scott free with their actions and the victims being punished cruelly without any justice. Putting this under read more cause despite it being simplified, I’m talking about abuse, sexual harassment and suicide baiting. Alongside some spoilers.
Katsuki Bakugo, physically and mentally abused his friend Izuku Midoriya just because he didn’t have a quirk. EVEN SUICIDE BAITED HIM WITH A FUCKING SMILE ON HIS FACE.
“If you want a quirk so bad, why don’t you take a swan dive off the roof and pray for one in your next life!”
Yet he manages to get off scot free. Got into UA and the Hero Course, treats people like shit but still gets friends. Actively tried to kill Izuku during a training exercise and got away with it. This fucker needs to be thrown in an insane asylum.
Endeavor, forcibly married a woman for her quirk and (practically raped her) kept having kids so that he can have one with both their quirks. Physically and mentally abused his children alongside their mother to the point they harmed or tried to kill the other. Actively tries to kill his own son who managed to escape but badly mutilated. Becomes Number 1 Hero as his unforgivable actions are never reprimanded. This bastard should be locked up permanently or on death row. Dabi or Touya Todoroki is most likely dead now from the latest issue.
Mineta Minoru, sexually harrasses the female student body especially Momo. Actively peeks on the girls’ bathing multiple times. Only a slap and practical finger wagging. This kid should had a background check cause he probably has done more than just this and needs to expelled but also locked up.
Can’t even forget the discrimination against people without quirks like Izuku. It’s like the writer only made Izuku quirkless just to give him a quirk and not explore how he lives or tries to fight against this bias by becoming a Quirkless hero. Oddly specific that 20% of the population is Quirkless cause that’s doubled the number of people with disabilities in the world.
This isn’t painting a good image for me or anyone else that noticed this fact too. Hell, I bet the only reason Melissa was made is because he remembers establishing the Quirkless Population. Or Aoyama and possibly Shigaraki was in the same exact situation as Izuku, Quirkless but also countlessly bullied and abused by their current society.
Don’t get me started on the discrimination to those with weak quirks, mutation quirks and ‘villainous’ quirks. Toga being abused to the point of starvation and insanity because her quirk required blood. Something that probably kept her sane too. Shinso being relentlessly bullied for his Brainwash quirk.
Or how I noticed most criminals have weak quirks, mutation quirks and 'villainous’ quirks. USJ episode along has all stereotypes right there, won’t be surprised if some of them were quirkless.
This series is incredibly messed up. Heinous actions being rewarded without any consequences. Also hints of ableism scattered about. Kohei Hirokoshi, you’re giving me very bad vibes as you continue this manga. I don’t know what you are trying to portray but it’s very mixed or not positive.
except aldernic isnt just an alt for transabled. anyways i was hoping to avoid this but oh well.
also, since were talking about being hypocrites: fun fact! this person was banned from several servers for s/icide baiting! i wouldnt have let them make an alt flag had i know it was them, but i didnt check their blog before hand. i gave them the benefit of the doubt, and as you can see that was a mistake. free block. :o) /vu /neg
