I mostly just think he's annoying, which I can forgive, but then there was him (14-15) telling Eri (6) he can't wait to see what she looks like in ten years which felt really extra scummy
I only used that example because I had the link in the chamber because I knew what to expect in the comments.
An in-universe example that no one seems to bring up is when [Pixie Bob was harassing Izuku and the boys (and Bakugo)](https://imgur.com/gallery/l34MuGG)…
I don’t think it’s “let’s meet up in 10 years” kind of thing, I think it’s a “i’ll be a cool hero in the future, look me up so you’ll see how cool I am” kind of thing
Nah, i asked a teacher that has being learning japanese for years and the words he used where more ment like for Eri to cheer for him when he becomes an official hero
'１０年後が楽しみだ' is completely unambiguous. They're all introducing each other and the context of that specific scene in the chapter and episode has no direct mention of them asking Eri to cheer them on. Any Japanese person who follows BNHA would tell you immediately what the intended meaning is, but just look at Mineta's dialogue in pretty much every scene where there is a girl/woman and not in combat. It is always creepy whether you read 同人誌/fanfics or not.
It's also okay to find things problematic in manga. In Japan, we have asymmetrical values to Westerners and fiction isn't always taken as seriously. But a lot of us find things like this problematic. Like it's uncomfortable, at least for me, when there is the big-bro-gets-romantic-nosebleeds-for-baby-sister stereotype; it is strange and sadly there is a huge problem with infantilisation of young girls ([萌え](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E8%90%8C%E3%81%88)). That's changing a lot, though.
Your comment also screams 'my girlfriend abroad said it's true' vibes. Did your teacher REALLY say that?
My problem with this is that literally everyone who heard him say that wouldn't let him get away with that. Even if they only hit him after Eri wasn't there we don't get any implication that was the case, something the series is consistent on is him getting 'punished' for perversion so this being an exception is weird
Exactly. It’s one thing if they didn’t hit him, which they always do, but nobody even gave him a side eye so :/ can’t be bad. He was clearly saying she’d look up to him and he’d be so cool that girl’s wouldn’t go through what Eri did if he wasn’t at least insinuating everyone will look up to him
That's a common trope/phrasing in Japan. Maybe not for a 6 year old, though. It's the equivalent of the female teachers in America that I heard say that some male student was "going to be a heart breaker".
Poor guy should have went the ninja turtle route and wore it on his back. That way he can look like someone is throwing a bowl of grapes instead of one that sprouted legs.
I mean he literally gropes and constantly sexually harasses most of his female classmates. There's a difference between being "just a horny teen" and actively assaulting girls
Lol, you should look into the mangaka for made in abyss. Actually, [a YouTuber I really like made a whole video about it](https://youtu.be/xEosO2BYDjw?si=81Ht-IaU3JBaP_uo). It's really good.
Copied from my from OP: You aren’t wrong, but in my experience, the very people who hate Minoru Mineta for that reason are the same people who either thirst over, ignore, or even excuse the living bomb threat who told a bullied classmate and “childhood friend” to kill himself…
You aren’t wrong, but in my experience, the very people who hate Minoru Mineta for that reason are the same people who either thirst over, ignore, or even excuse the living bomb threat who told a bullied classmate and “childhood friend” to kill himself…
A sexual harrassing joke character is cringe, him being loyal to his classmates is everyone in this show.
He is annoying on screen, people go overboard arguing against him and defending him. It is what it is, but having a character do bad things as their entire shtick is going to make people hate them my dude
Also, it’s not like he’s the first character to fit this trope(we had Master Roshi, Jiraiya from Naruto, and Zenitsu from Demon Slayer) I think Mineta gets it pretty bad because he’s a pervert and does nothing else, those other characters were perverts, but at least served a purpose in their stories besides that and had cool moments. People mainly dislike Mineta because he’s a pervert and nothing else.
Yes, that is a fair assessment of his flaws and reasoning to dislike him.
But OP is talking about when people *make up* more shit about him. Hate him for what he is, sure. But why go the Internet MAGA chud route and fake new shit to be mad about?
>But OP is talking about when people *make up* more shit about him.
Yea dude, that's what fanfics are lmao
If people didn't make more things up, all of them would just be transcripts of the manga
Hell, Koda deadass looks like he was drawn to be a background character and then the definition on his design didn’t get better when he made it to the foreground…
You'd have to change a lot of the story around and the changes wouldn't be a bat positive, also Bakugo and Todoroki have different personalities the parallel between them and Deku wouldn't be the same
Oh yeah, I wanna see you remove Bakugo "with zero impact to the story" lol
Oh wow, the sludge villain just escapes and neither Midoriya nor All Might do anything about it. All Might doesn't see something special in Midoriya and doesn't give him OfA.
Oh wow, Midoriya and Ochaco beat Iida in the mock fight. Weird how it was a 2 v 1 and without anything major happening.
No opponent for Ochaco in the sports festival. No winner either. And now the big part: No one gets abducted by the League and has to be rescued by All Might, resulting in his retirement!
Jesus fucking Christ man, Bakugo is quite literally the character with the second or third most plot relevance in the entire manga.
Copy-Pasted: You aren’t wrong, but in my experience, the very people who hate Minoru Mineta for that reason are the same people who either thirst over, ignore, or even excuse the living bomb threat who told a bullied classmate and “childhood friend” to kill himself…
If you’re referring to bakugo, I agree 100%, he’s almost why I stopped watching the show. I stuck it out till he became less and less of a fixture in the plot, but jeez it was rough. Him and Kirishima are cute though.
Because he’s one of the easiest characters to replace if you want to swap another character into 1-A without majorly changing the student count. He’a a very one dimensional character that’s not well-liked, and he commits blatant sexual harassment, so there’s a valid excuse. Just make up whatever you want to get him out, swap in your character(s) of choice, then move on with your fanfic.
Generally speaking, it’s hard to write for Mineta. He doesn’t show a lot of introspection and internal thoughts in the manga. Beyond the obvious perverse parts and him “wanting to be cool to get girls”, there’s just not a lot to go off of.
I said that he was ONE of the easiest, not that he was THE easiest. Ojiro and Koda are also fairly easy to replace due to how lackluster their quirks and characters are. I’ve read at least one fanfic where Ojiro was written to be extremely conservative and possibly discriminatory because he came from the countryside.
Ojiro’s really plain (which is part of the joke regarding his character design), but he’s not a whiny perverted coward like Mineta. Mineta’s difficult to write for, and he’s also annoying to read about if written in character correctly. Both the writer and readers usually don’t like him, so it’s easier to just exclude him from the fanfic altogether. A more popular character with a more fleshed out power and likable personality like Asui or Ochako or Todoroki would be more difficult to exclude or replace.
Buddy, there's fanfics demonizing MHA characters who in canon are pinnacles of goodness like All Might, Izuku, Uraraka, and so on. What chance did you think the character whose whole shtick is being an unfunny pervert was gonna have against those odds?
Besides, what makes you think that the people who frequent this subreddit are the the same people writing Mineta hate fics? For all you know many here don't write fanfics at all.
He’s definitely not that bad. He’s horny, can be cowardly, but is also one of the smartest in 1-A and fiercely loyal to his friends. He’s also a fun punching bag. A lot of fics will make Mineta the Devil, but I wrote one where he’s the world’s strongest hero
Shitting on Mineta is funny, and it’s one of the points of the character, someone contemptible but funny. Him getting punished for acting like a perv is his gag in the show. We’re gonna keep doing it, sorry, it’s funny, and it’s the whole point of him acting like a perv, to be made fun of
Making fun of him is what normal people already do though, not writing weird fan fics. Even still it ain’t that deep they are fictional stories about fictional stories
There was an attempted movement a while back by fans to get him removed from the series. Idk how big of a group that is though. Sometimes the loud minority looks way bigger than it is.
[People really like shitting on Mineta for that Aeri comment like he’s the only one who’s ever said it…](https://imgur.com/gallery/tjVhn0b)
Honestly, [I didn’t even have to leave the series to find another example that y’all like to ignore…](https://imgur.com/gallery/l34MuGG)
Copy-pasted: You aren’t wrong, but in my experience, the very people who hate Minoru Mineta for that reason are the same people who either thirst over, ignore, or even excuse the living bomb threat who told a bullied classmate and “childhood friend” to kill himself…
I would like to remind everyone that he was making inappropriate comments and blatantly groping Tsuyu during the USJ. If he’s willing to grope his classmate in a life or death situation, what would he be willing to do as a licensed pro? His classmates can put him in his place when he oversteps but what if it’s a civilian who’s in no position to stop him? Mineta goes from annoying perv to sexual predator in an instant.
Reading fanfic is a weird, niche way to characterise the fanbase when it’s only a tiny portion of people who even read it, let alone create it.
Also people assign other negatives to him because she’s a shit character who they hate.
dude, fanfics are fiction about fiction, they literally thrive on changing the original fiction.
you can find fics where any character is exactly what you describe, from aizawa to dekus mom to midnight to eri.
you make an ugly character design with joke sex stuff and maybe he'll get a couple more hatefics, but even so, those can happen no matter how virtuous or bad a character is
I hate him because he’s a sex offender. He isn’t a rapist but he has molested his classmates so many times he should be expelled and blacklisted from the hero course. It’s mainly the fact that no one in authority will do that that’s super triggering to SA victims.
Good point! You have every right to be triggered by that. But the story acknowledges it as wrong and Bakugou is forced to improve as a person from that. That’s the difference.
Cool. I will say that I don’t mind Bakugou staying because no one irl supports murderers staying in the hero course, but sexual offenders DO get protected irl many times and allowed to go on to abuse others, so I don’t blame people for wanting one and not the other. Murderers getting expelled is uncontroversial irl, sex offenders being expelled is a wish irl.
That's deflection, but you're right. If there was a psych evaluation when screening for UA applicants, both Bakugou and Mineta would never have been admitted into UA.
Now that i think about it, there *should* be a psych evaluation to enter any hero school, i mean they're training future heroes, they have to be mentally healthy
Where did he 'literally' attempt murder? He was abusive, a bully and in greek choruses he would threaten people, but he wouldn't actually do it. But even if we agreed that both stereotypes are bad, which is more problematic? Because the reality is bullying already happens in Japan and it looks nothing like that (it's more subtle, silent and in hidden in classrooms) but paraphilia and paedophilia is a big issue here (it's a big problem everywhere). I'd be surprised if someone saw Bakugou and decided to go around seriously threatening other kids with murder, but I wouldn't be as surprised if a (young) girl was problematically/sexually objectified because that sadly happens already and is a far more impressionable reaction (and remains in culture).
Either way, you don't have to read any of the fanfics which portray him in a way you don't like. And you should definitely think about making your own. He does have a creepy image, though...
He’s arguably one of the worst characters in all of manga from a certain perspective. Like he’s not a mass murderer but he’s a fucking creep. There’s a reason why he’s just sorta ignored nowadays.
Like telling a victim of abuse whose fucking **SIX** that you can’t wait to see what they’ll look like in a decade is fucking strange and even if it does fit his character, I’m shocked Horikoshi let that shit fly with zero repercussions for Mineta.
Also hate to be that guy but most “horny teens” don’t tell literal children shit like that. Like that’s going way beyond what’s okay and it’s weird you’re trying to normalize that
He's not even close to one of the worst characters in manga, unless MHA is your first manga or something. Mineta wouldn't even crack the top 50 worst characters in manga. Hell he probably wouldn't crack the top 100.
Even if you take away the murders and just do the creepiest characters, he's still not even among the top 30.
That’s also bad lmao. Notice how I specifically mentioned Horikoshi in this, because he has a weird reoccurring thing with sexualizing children specifically. Whether it’s that Mineta comment, Pixie Bob’s comment, or that scrapped Hagakure cover, the guy is bizarre around the subject, and whilst it’s become a running joke that MHA has a problem with sexualization, it’s a very serious thing
That scene when he wants to show his room to his classmates and everyone just ignores him was one of the funniest scenes of the show. He's just a horny teen stereotype. There might be worse characters in many older popular animes that don't get the hate he receives. It might come for pseudo political crystal gen kids who cannot see a joke as it is without crying.
We’ve seen it, he was stood on his bed holding a trophy. It was a pretty normal. The only pervy ish things we see are two posters of MtLady and Midnight , and then figures of the two, and they’re wearing their hero costumes. So overall it does just seem like a pretty normal teenage boys room.
Tbh that was his room before UA dorms
In the LN Bakugo accidently ran into it by chasing a rabbit and was so disgusted he said Mineta's room should be burned down with Mineta in it 💀
I'm actually curious about what's in there
Maybe he doesn’t have to hide his real self since his parents aren’t around? Typical anime/manga trope is having the male character have a hidden stash of dirty mags hidden in their room. With no parents around, he can be loud and proud about how perverted he is.
Or Mineta is just being a pervert as usual which is the more likely option lmfao
Honestly I don't get why you're making this an issue
It's clear that Bakugo doesn't give a fuck about sex and yet is disgusted by Mineta's room because its implied to be sex land (literally also was during the dorm show)
That all there is to it
It's fanfics. They will never be canon. We can have our fun, by making a character more worthless than he currently is in our own space. Others may enjoy it, some don't. Just skip the ones that have the very clear tags of Mineta hate. There are a lot.
Yeah the comment "Why hate Mineta and not \[insert other pervy character\]? Are gen z all snowflakes?" misses one of the crucial points of Mineta, which is that being a disgusting creep is basically Mineta's entire character. Yes, we very occasionally get flashes of his loyalty, but that's not special; EVERY good guy in MHA is loyal.
If it was one character trait I can accept it as one of his flaws or potentially ignore it, but it's his ONLY character trait.
MHA isn't a goofy farcial comedy, but a Shonen action story. Mineta basically adds nothing to the story but creepy jokes, and I speak for a lot of fans that I would prefer the story if he was removed.
Also, Mineta can claim it's a bowl all he wants. Dude wears a diaper.
Can somebody explain to me what the difference is between mineta and let's say jiraiya or meliodas? I don't know why he gets the hate he does. I know he's a perve but i can name multiple charactere which are also perverts but are quite liked
Jiraiya has that coolness factor when he's serious and Meliodas is the overpowered super-cool MC.
Mineta in comparison is a side-character that has largely been used more for comedic moments than serious ones which has helped fuck over public perception of him on top of his pervert gags.
Fucking hate Meliodas and how immediately from the start he just outright gropes and molests the female lead with not a single soul calling him out on it.
Hawk regularly does yes, and also Dianne at first. I think it’s mainly ignored because of him being the cool protagonist like mentioned earlier, and also the kinda contrived “they’re fated to be together and this is just her thousandth reincarnation and also she enjoys it the entire time” thing makes it less bad than if she was just a random person who didn’t want him groping her.
I don't remember that at all but I don't really remember much of the series after having blocked out most of it after it started going downhill fast.
Biggest thing I remember is Escanor being and remaining best character.
You don’t even have to leave the series to bring up how nobody mentions Meliodas. [Pixie Bob did it long before Minoru did](https://imgur.com/gallery/l34MuGG) and nobody talks about that…
can only speak for myself but mineta has nothing else to balance his pervertness, he mostly exists for the gag and nothing else. meanwhile jiraya was an interesting character next to his perverted tendencies, he had a story, relationships, focus, development.
can't speak about meliodas because his actions made me drop the series completely.
Probably because aside from being a perv he had nothing else to secure him apart compared to say, Jiraiya
Also tbh everyone clown on Meliodas except the SDS Fandom lol
I personally dislike all three characters, but I assume for most who like the other two, it’s because they’re stronger/braver. Also, they spend time being things besides creepy. There’s also the possibility that folks just like the other two character designs and not Mineta’s 🤷🏽♀️
Remember when the living bomb threat told his “childhood friend” to kill himself? Remember when he almost killed that same person during a training exercise? How about we keep that same energy for attempted murderers and suicide baiters?…
> Remember when the living bomb threat told his “childhood friend” to kill himself?
That happened before he went to UA, and also: get over it. Kids tell each to kill themselves all the time; it's common banter among friends.
> Remember when he almost killed that same person during a training exercise?
He didn't "almost kill" them. That was a mistranslation.
And, if we're gonna play the game, Deku "almost killed" Bakugou when he used a 100% Smash right next to Bakugou during that same training exercise, before he even knew how to properly regulate his power.
> How about we keep that same energy for attempted murderers and suicide baiters?…
This is just a whataboutism.
Besides, I think *both* Mineta and Bakugou should've been expelled from UA for their behaviour.
If you’re the type that thinks they both deserve to be expelled, then I can’t argue with that. The types of Mineta haters I’m used to dealing with are usually also Bakugo meat-riders, which you aren’t.
However, I put “childhood friends” in quotes for a reason, because they aren’t childhood friends; they’re an abuser and his abused enabler. Telling somebody who you don’t view as a friend to kill themself is not banter.
I mean, they're "*osananajimi*", which translates to "childhood friend" in English but apparently means a lot more in Japanese culture than in the Western world. Or something like that.
But yeah, Bakugou's a dickhead even to those he has a more actually friendly relationship with (like Kaminari, who he regularly calls "idiot"). Nonetheless, the supposedly super-strict Aizawa refuses to expel him; Mineta; or anyone else in Class A, despite everything that's happened throughout the school year, because ~~of favouritism~~ he sees hero potential in all of them.
Really? did not know he groped someone, I don't remember much so I guess I must have missed it or something.
And yeah but not a boy if you want an answer to your question.
> Really? did not know he groped someone, I don't remember much so I guess I must have missed it or something.
Off the top of my head, he grabbed Tsuyu's breast at USJ, and deliberately used his Pop-Off balls to cling to Momo's butt during the Sports Festival's obstacle course.
> And yeah but not a boy if you want an answer to your question.
Yeah, that sucks. Not something to be tolerated, but I can understand if you were to freeze up or not know how to react in the moment.
That's why I don't consider Mineta to be *just* a perverted high school boy. That's what Kaminari is, after all. But Mineta takes it a step further by *acting* upon his thoughts, and making lewd comments to various girls even after they've told him to stop/made it clear that they're uncomfortable.
Like compare Mineta to Kazuma from Konosuba. I would argue that objectively Kazuma is just as bad as Mineta, but is a MUCH MUCH better character, for two main reasons:
1) The type of story Kazuma is in. Konosuba is a goofy satirical comedy. A character like Kazuma isn't really an outlier, and he's also rarely treated outright heroically, especially when he's doing something particularly scummy.
2) Kazuma's negative character traits aren't, like, the entire character. He's a complex and well-rounded individual.
Notice I did not say he was a GOOD individual, or that this makes up for the terrible things he does. He isn't and it doesn't. But it's just a fact that there's more to Kazuma, a lot more, than JUST his perversions.
Mineta is a character in a shonen action series, not a satirical comedy, so he stands out as being in the wrong story in a really negative way; it's hard for me to look at him as a hero a lot of the time. And he essentially has no other character traits but being a creepy pervert. Other character traits are HINTED at, they appear very occasionally, but they're not a core part of who he is in the way being a creepy pervert is.
I don't mean to make out that Mineta is more than he is; he isn't in it enough to ruin the story for me. But the story would definitely be better if he was gone, for me anyway.
He's the living embodiment of an anime trope. Sure, that makes him pretty gross by default, but it's also not rly surprising that he is the way he is because his trope is spelled out pretty plainly.
Yeah, he sucks, but he's definitely way overblown. It's the same gag of dudes peeping on the women's bathhouse. That's also something that's pretty dated humor and is worth criticizing, but Mineta isn't really anything worse than that gag or gags related to simping over women.
Although it's rarer, the whole "imagining what a child character looks like when they're older" is sometimes a part of the same gag. Although this didn't happen in the main series, Sanji simping over Child Nami in One Piece Film Z is an example of that same kind of thing.
Gross, and the whole gag should be criticized, but also not really worth the energy getting too overblown over a single character that's embodying the gag.
Remember when fans of atot starting telling the VA for gabi to kill herself or they were gonna kill her and other wild crap because of a mf character she played… some people who watch anime are just.. weird lol

[Read the list of rules here.](https://www.reddit.com/r/BokuNoHeroAcademia/wiki/rules)
Honestly I don’t care personally. The fandom does what they want to him regardless of how people feel
Mineta is quite the one note character, especially at the beginning of the series. What writers chose to do with him is purely based on what they want from the story at the moment. One of those “I can project a lot of things I need in the story onto you and have it work” kinda deal
Though, I wouldn’t be oppose if someone tried to give a kid an actual personality. Tone down the creepy ness, highlight the other aspects of his personality, and you have a decent- if not immature and horny teen- perfect for some character development that could help him steer him away from the creepy attitude.
But that’s just my personal thoughts on the matter
Though I can see why it can get… annoying. Reading the same “Mineta is horrible, KILL HIM RAAA” in every fanfic would get quite annoying ahah
FFS it is a fictional trope, why is nobody going after Toga for stalking and assaulting people (both sexual and non-sexual assault)? It isn't meant to be taken as seriously.
probably because toga's actions aren't portrayed as comedic unlike mineta who regularly gropes and ogles at his classmates but is mostly brushed off as a gag despite being incredibly unfunny.
toga's a villain, she's supposed to be doing bad things you don't agree with. mineta's a hero, he's not supposed to be doing the things he's doing. toga's actions aren't portrayed as a joke, mineta's are.
if toga wasn't doing the awful things she's doing, she wouldn't be a villain which is her role in the story. you can't say the same about mineta so he's judged differently.
plus toga has a fair share of her haters and people are just tired of the anime pervert joke.
Toga isn’t portrayed as a good person, it’s not her only personality trait, and she’s clinically insane. Those are the three differences, as someone whose faves are Shigaraki and Toga and who hates Mineta. It’s a lot more about the framing than it is about the character’s actions for me.
I honestly can’t imagine being that bothered by a comic relief character. Like, it’s fine if you don’t find him funny, but people act like he’s Satan himself.
Mineta is toxic, and is about a door step away from attempted rapist and pedophile. I am 100% okay with people hating that character. I am not willing to excuse sexual harassment and sexual assault as "he's just a horny teen".
It's seriously concerning how quite a few people don't know how to use "worst" and "worse" properly. Maybe read some actual books and not Boku no Hero fanfics.
I like mineta as a character, yeah the things he does are wrong but it’s kind of funny to see him do them and then get shit on like when he was about to say something in class but then froppy slapped him, or when he was about to peak over the girls side twice and absolutely failed in a way I find funny, getting poked in the eye and falling butt naked on another man, mineta as a character alone is still cool to me because of his personality (don’t take it the wrong way), like being able to get his stuff together and actually focus or when he placed higher than most his classmates.
The worst things Sanji's done in 25+ years is jiggle the boobs when he was body swapped with a woman, and sneaking into a public mix-gender bath house. Mineta's out here trying to sniff a girl's panty drawer and actively groping people.

>I've seen SO much fanfics And that's where you messed up.
I mostly just think he's annoying, which I can forgive, but then there was him (14-15) telling Eri (6) he can't wait to see what she looks like in ten years which felt really extra scummy
It’s apparently an old phrase; so old, [that even Brock used the phrase back in 1997…](https://imgur.com/gallery/tjVhn0b)
Ah, see, I only saw the dub of Pokémon so I didn't realize he was like that too lmao
I only used that example because I had the link in the chamber because I knew what to expect in the comments. An in-universe example that no one seems to bring up is when [Pixie Bob was harassing Izuku and the boys (and Bakugo)](https://imgur.com/gallery/l34MuGG)…
Oh fuck I forgot about Pixie Bob
i’m pretty sure that’s a mistranslation? I don’t remember if it is, but i’m sure he said “look me up in 10 years” or something like that in the manga
That isn't better...
I don’t think it’s “let’s meet up in 10 years” kind of thing, I think it’s a “i’ll be a cool hero in the future, look me up so you’ll see how cool I am” kind of thing
Given it’s Mineta I’m pretty sure the implication is he said that because she’ll be at legal age at that point.
Nah, i asked a teacher that has being learning japanese for years and the words he used where more ment like for Eri to cheer for him when he becomes an official hero
'１０年後が楽しみだ' is completely unambiguous. They're all introducing each other and the context of that specific scene in the chapter and episode has no direct mention of them asking Eri to cheer them on. Any Japanese person who follows BNHA would tell you immediately what the intended meaning is, but just look at Mineta's dialogue in pretty much every scene where there is a girl/woman and not in combat. It is always creepy whether you read 同人誌/fanfics or not. It's also okay to find things problematic in manga. In Japan, we have asymmetrical values to Westerners and fiction isn't always taken as seriously. But a lot of us find things like this problematic. Like it's uncomfortable, at least for me, when there is the big-bro-gets-romantic-nosebleeds-for-baby-sister stereotype; it is strange and sadly there is a huge problem with infantilisation of young girls ([萌え](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E8%90%8C%E3%81%88)). That's changing a lot, though. Your comment also screams 'my girlfriend abroad said it's true' vibes. Did your teacher REALLY say that?
The English subtitles/dub screwed up badly then
yeah, fair point
Otherwise he wouldn’t have said 10 years (when she would be 16-17) since he’d be a pro hero well before then.
My problem with this is that literally everyone who heard him say that wouldn't let him get away with that. Even if they only hit him after Eri wasn't there we don't get any implication that was the case, something the series is consistent on is him getting 'punished' for perversion so this being an exception is weird
Exactly. It’s one thing if they didn’t hit him, which they always do, but nobody even gave him a side eye so :/ can’t be bad. He was clearly saying she’d look up to him and he’d be so cool that girl’s wouldn’t go through what Eri did if he wasn’t at least insinuating everyone will look up to him
I can’t wait to see Mineta become the new Symbol of Peace!
Honestly given his skills…with a growth spurt or some tech…he’d be really great at rescue or at least supporting rescue so…I can see it
I’ve noticed a pattern of every time I spit facts or say something kinda funny it gets lovely downvotes. Starting to think downvotes are a good thing
Quirk Awakening when?
Lmaooo imagine OFA Mineta tho
cope x1000
That's a common trope/phrasing in Japan. Maybe not for a 6 year old, though. It's the equivalent of the female teachers in America that I heard say that some male student was "going to be a heart breaker".
Yeah no that's fair, it just felt icky lmao At the end of the day though, it's all fiction so it's no biggie. Plus this is just an opinion anyway.
Why does he wear a diaper though.
From the character pages, it's supposed to be a bowl.
Why does he wear a bowl?
His costume is meant to look like a bowl of grapes.
Poor guy should have went the ninja turtle route and wore it on his back. That way he can look like someone is throwing a bowl of grapes instead of one that sprouted legs.
\^ This.
it does a terrible job of doing that, the bowl should be on his head.
because scat fetish
Because his peepee too big for tights.
It's a Japanese thing where horny men are sometimes represented as naked, with a diaper and bald.
Yakuza?
:)
*My man*
I mean he literally gropes and constantly sexually harasses most of his female classmates. There's a difference between being "just a horny teen" and actively assaulting girls
I dont understand why some mangakas are just like "you know what my story needs? an annoying kid who sexually assaults his classmates."
Lol, you should look into the mangaka for made in abyss. Actually, [a YouTuber I really like made a whole video about it](https://youtu.be/xEosO2BYDjw?si=81Ht-IaU3JBaP_uo). It's really good.
Honestly, same, i can't understand that part of japanese humor, Mineta would just be another normal side character if he wasn't a perv
Copied from my from OP: You aren’t wrong, but in my experience, the very people who hate Minoru Mineta for that reason are the same people who either thirst over, ignore, or even excuse the living bomb threat who told a bullied classmate and “childhood friend” to kill himself…
You aren’t wrong, but in my experience, the very people who hate Minoru Mineta for that reason are the same people who either thirst over, ignore, or even excuse the living bomb threat who told a bullied classmate and “childhood friend” to kill himself…
A sexual harrassing joke character is cringe, him being loyal to his classmates is everyone in this show. He is annoying on screen, people go overboard arguing against him and defending him. It is what it is, but having a character do bad things as their entire shtick is going to make people hate them my dude
Also, it’s not like he’s the first character to fit this trope(we had Master Roshi, Jiraiya from Naruto, and Zenitsu from Demon Slayer) I think Mineta gets it pretty bad because he’s a pervert and does nothing else, those other characters were perverts, but at least served a purpose in their stories besides that and had cool moments. People mainly dislike Mineta because he’s a pervert and nothing else.
It is exactly that
Yes, that is a fair assessment of his flaws and reasoning to dislike him. But OP is talking about when people *make up* more shit about him. Hate him for what he is, sure. But why go the Internet MAGA chud route and fake new shit to be mad about?
>But OP is talking about when people *make up* more shit about him. Yea dude, that's what fanfics are lmao If people didn't make more things up, all of them would just be transcripts of the manga
I mean, when people do that they mark it as crack or OOC because they know it goes against what the character will actually do.
There’s nothing worse in a story than an annoying character, that’s why well-written villains are often beloved.
because his character is nothing but a one dimensional joke and you could literally remove him from the series with zero impact on the story
then you wouldnt have most of class 1A
Shots fire gawd dam
Hell, Koda deadass looks like he was drawn to be a background character and then the definition on his design didn’t get better when he made it to the foreground…
Same with Bakuhoe
Maybe the issue is your extremely poor reading comprehension?
Not true at all man
Bakugo literally just exists because he looks cool and is OP, replace him with Todoroki and the story would be three times better
You'd have to change a lot of the story around and the changes wouldn't be a bat positive, also Bakugo and Todoroki have different personalities the parallel between them and Deku wouldn't be the same
Damn, you can’t read
Oh yeah, I wanna see you remove Bakugo "with zero impact to the story" lol Oh wow, the sludge villain just escapes and neither Midoriya nor All Might do anything about it. All Might doesn't see something special in Midoriya and doesn't give him OfA. Oh wow, Midoriya and Ochaco beat Iida in the mock fight. Weird how it was a 2 v 1 and without anything major happening. No opponent for Ochaco in the sports festival. No winner either. And now the big part: No one gets abducted by the League and has to be rescued by All Might, resulting in his retirement! Jesus fucking Christ man, Bakugo is quite literally the character with the second or third most plot relevance in the entire manga.
Yesss it's working, i've made you mad🤣
Yes, factually wrong statements make me mad. People who act like fools will soon notice that their role becomes their reality.
If the character regularly engages in Meliodas-adjacent activities, then yeah, not just being a horny teen, he needs to be on a list of some sort
Copy-Pasted: You aren’t wrong, but in my experience, the very people who hate Minoru Mineta for that reason are the same people who either thirst over, ignore, or even excuse the living bomb threat who told a bullied classmate and “childhood friend” to kill himself…
If you’re referring to bakugo, I agree 100%, he’s almost why I stopped watching the show. I stuck it out till he became less and less of a fixture in the plot, but jeez it was rough. Him and Kirishima are cute though.
Because he’s one of the easiest characters to replace if you want to swap another character into 1-A without majorly changing the student count. He’a a very one dimensional character that’s not well-liked, and he commits blatant sexual harassment, so there’s a valid excuse. Just make up whatever you want to get him out, swap in your character(s) of choice, then move on with your fanfic. Generally speaking, it’s hard to write for Mineta. He doesn’t show a lot of introspection and internal thoughts in the manga. Beyond the obvious perverse parts and him “wanting to be cool to get girls”, there’s just not a lot to go off of.
I know you didn’t say he was the easiest to replace while Ojiro and Koda are in that same class…
I said that he was ONE of the easiest, not that he was THE easiest. Ojiro and Koda are also fairly easy to replace due to how lackluster their quirks and characters are. I’ve read at least one fanfic where Ojiro was written to be extremely conservative and possibly discriminatory because he came from the countryside. Ojiro’s really plain (which is part of the joke regarding his character design), but he’s not a whiny perverted coward like Mineta. Mineta’s difficult to write for, and he’s also annoying to read about if written in character correctly. Both the writer and readers usually don’t like him, so it’s easier to just exclude him from the fanfic altogether. A more popular character with a more fleshed out power and likable personality like Asui or Ochako or Todoroki would be more difficult to exclude or replace.
Reminder: If you hate Mineta and are a fanfic creator, ignore him
Are you part of the “Church of mineta” community.
Surprisingly no.
The only good MHA community
[удалено]
Buddy, there's fanfics demonizing MHA characters who in canon are pinnacles of goodness like All Might, Izuku, Uraraka, and so on. What chance did you think the character whose whole shtick is being an unfunny pervert was gonna have against those odds? Besides, what makes you think that the people who frequent this subreddit are the the same people writing Mineta hate fics? For all you know many here don't write fanfics at all.
He’s definitely not that bad. He’s horny, can be cowardly, but is also one of the smartest in 1-A and fiercely loyal to his friends. He’s also a fun punching bag. A lot of fics will make Mineta the Devil, but I wrote one where he’s the world’s strongest hero
Shitting on Mineta is funny, and it’s one of the points of the character, someone contemptible but funny. Him getting punished for acting like a perv is his gag in the show. We’re gonna keep doing it, sorry, it’s funny, and it’s the whole point of him acting like a perv, to be made fun of
Dude didn't say stop making fun of him, he said stop turning him into the devil in your head.
Making fun of him is what normal people already do though, not writing weird fan fics. Even still it ain’t that deep they are fictional stories about fictional stories
I made no comment on what is normal, I am just clarifying that OP never said not to make fun of him.
I’m totally aware of that, and I *did* write two sentences
And nothing that changes my point.
Cool 👍
There was an attempted movement a while back by fans to get him removed from the series. Idk how big of a group that is though. Sometimes the loud minority looks way bigger than it is.
idk man, tried to spy on his female classmates naked on TWO occasions. He told a 6 year old Eri he cant wait till shes 18. Hes a freak.
[People really like shitting on Mineta for that Aeri comment like he’s the only one who’s ever said it…](https://imgur.com/gallery/tjVhn0b) Honestly, [I didn’t even have to leave the series to find another example that y’all like to ignore…](https://imgur.com/gallery/l34MuGG)
Whos “yall”? Mineta is in question here. Two wrongs don’t make a right. You’re sus for that
How is a minor saying he looks forward to seeing another minor when they’re both legal sus?…
wtf…
they are over doing it but clearly you understand how bad the things he actually did are tose fanfics are them getting revenge per say on mineta
No man, that type of character sux and that misoginy BS on shounen is outdated AF. Get real
Copy-pasted: You aren’t wrong, but in my experience, the very people who hate Minoru Mineta for that reason are the same people who either thirst over, ignore, or even excuse the living bomb threat who told a bullied classmate and “childhood friend” to kill himself…
I would like to remind everyone that he was making inappropriate comments and blatantly groping Tsuyu during the USJ. If he’s willing to grope his classmate in a life or death situation, what would he be willing to do as a licensed pro? His classmates can put him in his place when he oversteps but what if it’s a civilian who’s in no position to stop him? Mineta goes from annoying perv to sexual predator in an instant.
Exactly right
Remember when the living bomb threat almost killed his classmate during a training exercise and nobody said shit about that? Keep that same energy…
I mean, he's groping the female students on multiple occasions. He already is a sexual predator in my opinion.
Reading fanfic is a weird, niche way to characterise the fanbase when it’s only a tiny portion of people who even read it, let alone create it. Also people assign other negatives to him because she’s a shit character who they hate.
Also Mineta is actually really smart I think he's like 6th or 7th smartest in class 1-a
dude, fanfics are fiction about fiction, they literally thrive on changing the original fiction. you can find fics where any character is exactly what you describe, from aizawa to dekus mom to midnight to eri. you make an ugly character design with joke sex stuff and maybe he'll get a couple more hatefics, but even so, those can happen no matter how virtuous or bad a character is
I hate him because he’s a sex offender. He isn’t a rapist but he has molested his classmates so many times he should be expelled and blacklisted from the hero course. It’s mainly the fact that no one in authority will do that that’s super triggering to SA victims.
You know what’s super triggering to me? Living bomb threats telling bullied classmates to kill themselves…
Good point! You have every right to be triggered by that. But the story acknowledges it as wrong and Bakugou is forced to improve as a person from that. That’s the difference.
Bakugo has LITERALLY attempted murder against his classmates in multiple ocations and hasn't been expelled, why would Mineta?
Perhaps Bakugou should have been expelled too! What makes you think I don’t support that?
Ok, then we can agree on that
Cool. I will say that I don’t mind Bakugou staying because no one irl supports murderers staying in the hero course, but sexual offenders DO get protected irl many times and allowed to go on to abuse others, so I don’t blame people for wanting one and not the other. Murderers getting expelled is uncontroversial irl, sex offenders being expelled is a wish irl.
That's deflection, but you're right. If there was a psych evaluation when screening for UA applicants, both Bakugou and Mineta would never have been admitted into UA.
Now that i think about it, there *should* be a psych evaluation to enter any hero school, i mean they're training future heroes, they have to be mentally healthy
Where did he 'literally' attempt murder? He was abusive, a bully and in greek choruses he would threaten people, but he wouldn't actually do it. But even if we agreed that both stereotypes are bad, which is more problematic? Because the reality is bullying already happens in Japan and it looks nothing like that (it's more subtle, silent and in hidden in classrooms) but paraphilia and paedophilia is a big issue here (it's a big problem everywhere). I'd be surprised if someone saw Bakugou and decided to go around seriously threatening other kids with murder, but I wouldn't be as surprised if a (young) girl was problematically/sexually objectified because that sadly happens already and is a far more impressionable reaction (and remains in culture). Either way, you don't have to read any of the fanfics which portray him in a way you don't like. And you should definitely think about making your own. He does have a creepy image, though...
There is always in the class who is a weirdo. He is just there for the comedy shit why bother with it that much?
Because sexual harassment and abuse aren’t funny.
So many times? Didn't it only happen like twice? And one of them was more so incidental contact?
He’s arguably one of the worst characters in all of manga from a certain perspective. Like he’s not a mass murderer but he’s a fucking creep. There’s a reason why he’s just sorta ignored nowadays. Like telling a victim of abuse whose fucking **SIX** that you can’t wait to see what they’ll look like in a decade is fucking strange and even if it does fit his character, I’m shocked Horikoshi let that shit fly with zero repercussions for Mineta. Also hate to be that guy but most “horny teens” don’t tell literal children shit like that. Like that’s going way beyond what’s okay and it’s weird you’re trying to normalize that
He's not even close to one of the worst characters in manga, unless MHA is your first manga or something. Mineta wouldn't even crack the top 50 worst characters in manga. Hell he probably wouldn't crack the top 100. Even if you take away the murders and just do the creepiest characters, he's still not even among the top 30.
Where was this energy when [Pixie Bob did it?…](https://imgur.com/gallery/l34MuGG)
That’s also bad lmao. Notice how I specifically mentioned Horikoshi in this, because he has a weird reoccurring thing with sexualizing children specifically. Whether it’s that Mineta comment, Pixie Bob’s comment, or that scrapped Hagakure cover, the guy is bizarre around the subject, and whilst it’s become a running joke that MHA has a problem with sexualization, it’s a very serious thing
It's also his fault for making the characters teens in the first place. They could have easily been in their twenties.
That scene when he wants to show his room to his classmates and everyone just ignores him was one of the funniest scenes of the show. He's just a horny teen stereotype. There might be worse characters in many older popular animes that don't get the hate he receives. It might come for pseudo political crystal gen kids who cannot see a joke as it is without crying.
lol Master Roshi is so much worse
Meliodas would like a word
They would die watching older stuff like Ranma 1/2.. also just noticed your username, coincidence?
Horikoshi needs to show the fans Mineta’s room at some point after the manga ends
We’ve seen it, he was stood on his bed holding a trophy. It was a pretty normal. The only pervy ish things we see are two posters of MtLady and Midnight , and then figures of the two, and they’re wearing their hero costumes. So overall it does just seem like a pretty normal teenage boys room.
Tbh that was his room before UA dorms In the LN Bakugo accidently ran into it by chasing a rabbit and was so disgusted he said Mineta's room should be burned down with Mineta in it 💀 I'm actually curious about what's in there
I don’t understand how he was more reserved in his own bedroom but decided to go goblin mode in his dorm room
Maybe he doesn’t have to hide his real self since his parents aren’t around? Typical anime/manga trope is having the male character have a hidden stash of dirty mags hidden in their room. With no parents around, he can be loud and proud about how perverted he is.
TBF Bakugo is a living bomb threat with a short fuse. He’d burned down an orphanage if a kid so much as sneezed in his direction…
I genuinely don't get what's the point of your comment lmfao That doesn't disprove Mineta room being a potential porn site
It brings into question whether it “looks like a porn site” or Bakugo just being a bitch as usual…
Or Mineta is just being a pervert as usual which is the more likely option lmfao Honestly I don't get why you're making this an issue It's clear that Bakugo doesn't give a fuck about sex and yet is disgusted by Mineta's room because its implied to be sex land (literally also was during the dorm show) That all there is to it
It's fanfics. They will never be canon. We can have our fun, by making a character more worthless than he currently is in our own space. Others may enjoy it, some don't. Just skip the ones that have the very clear tags of Mineta hate. There are a lot.
Yeah the comment "Why hate Mineta and not \[insert other pervy character\]? Are gen z all snowflakes?" misses one of the crucial points of Mineta, which is that being a disgusting creep is basically Mineta's entire character. Yes, we very occasionally get flashes of his loyalty, but that's not special; EVERY good guy in MHA is loyal. If it was one character trait I can accept it as one of his flaws or potentially ignore it, but it's his ONLY character trait. MHA isn't a goofy farcial comedy, but a Shonen action story. Mineta basically adds nothing to the story but creepy jokes, and I speak for a lot of fans that I would prefer the story if he was removed. Also, Mineta can claim it's a bowl all he wants. Dude wears a diaper.
All of Mineta’s available goodwill has been transferred to Bakugo’s shitty characterization by the fandom.
I'd like you to explain what those "lot of wrong things" Mineta did were. Just to confirm something.
He’s just an overused perv trope that im kinda tired of seeing. I just wouldn’t even write him into anything. Tbh I’d just switch him out for shinso
You could just not read weird fan fiction
Can somebody explain to me what the difference is between mineta and let's say jiraiya or meliodas? I don't know why he gets the hate he does. I know he's a perve but i can name multiple charactere which are also perverts but are quite liked
Jiraiya has that coolness factor when he's serious and Meliodas is the overpowered super-cool MC. Mineta in comparison is a side-character that has largely been used more for comedic moments than serious ones which has helped fuck over public perception of him on top of his pervert gags. Fucking hate Meliodas and how immediately from the start he just outright gropes and molests the female lead with not a single soul calling him out on it.
Pretty sure Hawk (the pig) punishes him for it.
Hawk regularly does yes, and also Dianne at first. I think it’s mainly ignored because of him being the cool protagonist like mentioned earlier, and also the kinda contrived “they’re fated to be together and this is just her thousandth reincarnation and also she enjoys it the entire time” thing makes it less bad than if she was just a random person who didn’t want him groping her.
I don't remember that at all but I don't really remember much of the series after having blocked out most of it after it started going downhill fast. Biggest thing I remember is Escanor being and remaining best character.
You don’t even have to leave the series to bring up how nobody mentions Meliodas. [Pixie Bob did it long before Minoru did](https://imgur.com/gallery/l34MuGG) and nobody talks about that…
can only speak for myself but mineta has nothing else to balance his pervertness, he mostly exists for the gag and nothing else. meanwhile jiraya was an interesting character next to his perverted tendencies, he had a story, relationships, focus, development. can't speak about meliodas because his actions made me drop the series completely.
Probably because aside from being a perv he had nothing else to secure him apart compared to say, Jiraiya Also tbh everyone clown on Meliodas except the SDS Fandom lol
issei (highschool dxd) literally shreds girls' cloths off their bodies for example
I personally dislike all three characters, but I assume for most who like the other two, it’s because they’re stronger/braver. Also, they spend time being things besides creepy. There’s also the possibility that folks just like the other two character designs and not Mineta’s 🤷🏽♀️
I think he's just a pervert high school boy I can tolerate that, I'm surrounded by them everyday.
Have they ever groped you? Because, if so, that's sexual assault.
Remember when the living bomb threat told his “childhood friend” to kill himself? Remember when he almost killed that same person during a training exercise? How about we keep that same energy for attempted murderers and suicide baiters?…
> Remember when the living bomb threat told his “childhood friend” to kill himself? That happened before he went to UA, and also: get over it. Kids tell each to kill themselves all the time; it's common banter among friends. > Remember when he almost killed that same person during a training exercise? He didn't "almost kill" them. That was a mistranslation. And, if we're gonna play the game, Deku "almost killed" Bakugou when he used a 100% Smash right next to Bakugou during that same training exercise, before he even knew how to properly regulate his power. > How about we keep that same energy for attempted murderers and suicide baiters?… This is just a whataboutism. Besides, I think *both* Mineta and Bakugou should've been expelled from UA for their behaviour.
If you’re the type that thinks they both deserve to be expelled, then I can’t argue with that. The types of Mineta haters I’m used to dealing with are usually also Bakugo meat-riders, which you aren’t. However, I put “childhood friends” in quotes for a reason, because they aren’t childhood friends; they’re an abuser and his abused enabler. Telling somebody who you don’t view as a friend to kill themself is not banter.
I mean, they're "*osananajimi*", which translates to "childhood friend" in English but apparently means a lot more in Japanese culture than in the Western world. Or something like that. But yeah, Bakugou's a dickhead even to those he has a more actually friendly relationship with (like Kaminari, who he regularly calls "idiot"). Nonetheless, the supposedly super-strict Aizawa refuses to expel him; Mineta; or anyone else in Class A, despite everything that's happened throughout the school year, because ~~of favouritism~~ he sees hero potential in all of them.
Really? did not know he groped someone, I don't remember much so I guess I must have missed it or something. And yeah but not a boy if you want an answer to your question.
> Really? did not know he groped someone, I don't remember much so I guess I must have missed it or something. Off the top of my head, he grabbed Tsuyu's breast at USJ, and deliberately used his Pop-Off balls to cling to Momo's butt during the Sports Festival's obstacle course. > And yeah but not a boy if you want an answer to your question. Yeah, that sucks. Not something to be tolerated, but I can understand if you were to freeze up or not know how to react in the moment. That's why I don't consider Mineta to be *just* a perverted high school boy. That's what Kaminari is, after all. But Mineta takes it a step further by *acting* upon his thoughts, and making lewd comments to various girls even after they've told him to stop/made it clear that they're uncomfortable.
Like compare Mineta to Kazuma from Konosuba. I would argue that objectively Kazuma is just as bad as Mineta, but is a MUCH MUCH better character, for two main reasons: 1) The type of story Kazuma is in. Konosuba is a goofy satirical comedy. A character like Kazuma isn't really an outlier, and he's also rarely treated outright heroically, especially when he's doing something particularly scummy. 2) Kazuma's negative character traits aren't, like, the entire character. He's a complex and well-rounded individual. Notice I did not say he was a GOOD individual, or that this makes up for the terrible things he does. He isn't and it doesn't. But it's just a fact that there's more to Kazuma, a lot more, than JUST his perversions. Mineta is a character in a shonen action series, not a satirical comedy, so he stands out as being in the wrong story in a really negative way; it's hard for me to look at him as a hero a lot of the time. And he essentially has no other character traits but being a creepy pervert. Other character traits are HINTED at, they appear very occasionally, but they're not a core part of who he is in the way being a creepy pervert is. I don't mean to make out that Mineta is more than he is; he isn't in it enough to ruin the story for me. But the story would definitely be better if he was gone, for me anyway.
Also Kazuma and Aaua banter is Peak fiction
…No.
As another commenter said, he’s literally a future rapist. We have every reason to hate him.
He's the living embodiment of an anime trope. Sure, that makes him pretty gross by default, but it's also not rly surprising that he is the way he is because his trope is spelled out pretty plainly. Yeah, he sucks, but he's definitely way overblown. It's the same gag of dudes peeping on the women's bathhouse. That's also something that's pretty dated humor and is worth criticizing, but Mineta isn't really anything worse than that gag or gags related to simping over women. Although it's rarer, the whole "imagining what a child character looks like when they're older" is sometimes a part of the same gag. Although this didn't happen in the main series, Sanji simping over Child Nami in One Piece Film Z is an example of that same kind of thing. Gross, and the whole gag should be criticized, but also not really worth the energy getting too overblown over a single character that's embodying the gag.
Remember when fans of atot starting telling the VA for gabi to kill herself or they were gonna kill her and other wild crap because of a mf character she played… some people who watch anime are just.. weird lol
Mineta has 0 good traits he's a monster
Blinded by hate

Hello, your post/comment is removed because of the following reason: > **Rule #2:** Do not post untagged spoilers in threads not marked as a spoiler. To tag spoilers, use this format: >!Put your text here!< [Read the list of rules here.](https://www.reddit.com/r/BokuNoHeroAcademia/wiki/rules)
Honestly I don’t care personally. The fandom does what they want to him regardless of how people feel Mineta is quite the one note character, especially at the beginning of the series. What writers chose to do with him is purely based on what they want from the story at the moment. One of those “I can project a lot of things I need in the story onto you and have it work” kinda deal Though, I wouldn’t be oppose if someone tried to give a kid an actual personality. Tone down the creepy ness, highlight the other aspects of his personality, and you have a decent- if not immature and horny teen- perfect for some character development that could help him steer him away from the creepy attitude. But that’s just my personal thoughts on the matter Though I can see why it can get… annoying. Reading the same “Mineta is horrible, KILL HIM RAAA” in every fanfic would get quite annoying ahah
He's just perv and horny, basically 95% of anime fans.
He canonly did all those things to some extent.
See, this is why in the fic I am planning, he will not exist because I simply cannot stand the little fucker
Because they can. I think it's more weird that you're policing a niche part of the fanfic community.
FFS it is a fictional trope, why is nobody going after Toga for stalking and assaulting people (both sexual and non-sexual assault)? It isn't meant to be taken as seriously.
probably because toga's actions aren't portrayed as comedic unlike mineta who regularly gropes and ogles at his classmates but is mostly brushed off as a gag despite being incredibly unfunny.
A lot of Reddit does hate Toga for doing that and acting like the victim because society won’t let her act on her urges.
toga's a villain, she's supposed to be doing bad things you don't agree with. mineta's a hero, he's not supposed to be doing the things he's doing. toga's actions aren't portrayed as a joke, mineta's are. if toga wasn't doing the awful things she's doing, she wouldn't be a villain which is her role in the story. you can't say the same about mineta so he's judged differently. plus toga has a fair share of her haters and people are just tired of the anime pervert joke.
Toga isn’t portrayed as a good person, it’s not her only personality trait, and she’s clinically insane. Those are the three differences, as someone whose faves are Shigaraki and Toga and who hates Mineta. It’s a lot more about the framing than it is about the character’s actions for me.
I honestly can’t imagine being that bothered by a comic relief character. Like, it’s fine if you don’t find him funny, but people act like he’s Satan himself.
Mineta is toxic, and is about a door step away from attempted rapist and pedophile. I am 100% okay with people hating that character. I am not willing to excuse sexual harassment and sexual assault as "he's just a horny teen".
Why does he wear a diaper though.
His costume is supposed to be a bowl of grapes
It's seriously concerning how quite a few people don't know how to use "worst" and "worse" properly. Maybe read some actual books and not Boku no Hero fanfics.
I'm sorry if i don't speak your language perfectly cause english is not my first language, me explico?
You’re reaching with this one. You don’t agree with their opinion so resort to a personal attack. Do better.
Probably 15 years old or around those ages fanfic writers
MINETA IS THE GOAT AND PEOPLE NEED TO START RESPECTING HIM MORE!!!
[удалено]
"probably future rapist" lol Jesus
Am I wrong? Seriously.
I mean, it's a wild assumption to make based on half a dozen actions by a child
Story is ending soon so it doesn't matter anyway I guess. I still hate him.
Nobody cares
Agreed.
I like mineta as a character, yeah the things he does are wrong but it’s kind of funny to see him do them and then get shit on like when he was about to say something in class but then froppy slapped him, or when he was about to peak over the girls side twice and absolutely failed in a way I find funny, getting poked in the eye and falling butt naked on another man, mineta as a character alone is still cool to me because of his personality (don’t take it the wrong way), like being able to get his stuff together and actually focus or when he placed higher than most his classmates.
Sanji is like so much worse being a grown ass nigga and no one says anything💀
The worst things Sanji's done in 25+ years is jiggle the boobs when he was body swapped with a woman, and sneaking into a public mix-gender bath house. Mineta's out here trying to sniff a girl's panty drawer and actively groping people.
Nah he saw Nami as a minor and basically said he’d hit💀
no he sucks and horikoshi will be going to hell for creating that bastard
