Except Bakugo never told Izuku to commit suicide. Don't make shit up.


Right...
Except he actually did. Refresh your memory:


Yes, I do remember this. He was making him realize the reality. More than 10 years had passed and he hadn't manifested a quirk. And even All Might told him to face the reality after when Midoriya met him. Like everyone around him was trying to make him realize that even his mom. So no, that doesn't encourage suicide.

Look, no matter what you think the motivation was, he literally told him to off himself. Don't be in denial :>

You say you remember yet previously you said I was making shit up... wut?

"Making him realize the reality"... Ah I see, so nice of Bakugou to try and help Izuku by referencing suicide. Geez, the excuses ya'll give... x)

Anyway, it doesn't matter if he meant it or not, he still said that shit yet it's ok for most bnha fans but if it was Mineta saying that shit everyone would've just started hating him from that point on and never 'look back'...

He was just joking. He didn't mean it. He isn't a bad guy.

Telling someone to kill themselves is still not okay, even if its just a joke. Hoo boy, there’s another two of those bakugo apologists in this thread.

If you want to talk in that context then yes, but only if he thought he'll get his quirk in the next world. Basically, trying to make him realize the reality. But, fair enough.

You need to realize that Mineta and Bakugo are very different. Now this all goes back to your first post that is about Kaminari. While Kaminari is a pervert, we never see him committing those extreme acts that Mineta does. And that's the difference between those two. So people liking Kaminari still makes sense. So no, this ain't about the design. And those WHAT IFs you're implying, they aren't as simple as you make it to be.

Yes they are different but they both have shitty behaviour yet almost the entire fandom loves one but hates the other, that's what I can't understand but anyway...

One example I can think of right now was when people were critizing Mineta for tricking the girls into wearing cheerleader uniforms but what people clearly forgot was that Kaminari was also part of it yet almost no one hated him, only Mineta. So design plays a big part.

Two types of male protagonist I hate the most:

1. indecisive harem owner who's ALWAYS between two girls through the entire fucking show. What's more annoying is the fact these type of shows tend to make you think "oh he is not bad, just indecisive, while in his very essence simply an asshole."
Example: Dude from white album 2

2. weak, whiny protagonist, and for some reason always wins the hearts of entire female population.
Example: Yuki from Mirai Nikki. Honor mention: Subaru from re:0

Emotionless robots who are emotionless just for the sake of it, with 0 development and a flat backstory.

Inori from Guilty Crown is probably one of my least favorite characters among all the anime I've watched. I don't understand how she's loved by so many people but she was so boring I can't even stress it. Did she even have a personality?? Don't @ me stating that she was a kuudere because she was not; she doesn't even deserve the kuudere label. All I know is that she's supposedly one hell of a singer but at the same time can't talk at a normal volume to save her life.


Yes, I hate emotionless characters too. For example, Kaizuki Inaho from Aldnoah.Zero. But, for some reason I really love Violet Evergarden.

I've never watched Aldnoah.Zero. Violet Evergarden was centered around someone who actually couldn't understand emotions because of how she was brought up and revolved around her journey to self discovery and all that. We had development starting from episode 3. Using letter writing was a smart and interesting move and the anime was better than I expected.

People criticized Mineta for that? And yes, Kaminari was a part of it. And I've already told you the major difference between Kaminari and Mineta. Pretty sure people would begin disliking him as much as Mineta, if he also begins doing what Mineta does. Simply saying both are perverts so both should be disliked equally isn't right. So again, the design isn't the major part rather it's what they do.

Plus, even if people did criticize Mineta I can understand that. Since he's been doing such things from the very beginning. Hence, getting more attention from people, unlike Kaminari who I think was the first time he expressed that he was perverted too. It's just like when someone is blamed for something even when he hasn't committed it, but is blamed since he used to do it and now is getting everyone's attention. Though, this was quite a weak example but hope you get it.

One dimensional characters who have nothing to contribute to the story except their dark, tragic backstory. If a character has a tragic backstory but can still contribute to the story, or at least has a decent enough personality, it's fine, but when a tragic childhood or traumatic memory is the ONLY thing the writer uses to identify the character, then we have a problem.

I actually can't think of many examples off the top of my head for some reason, but the most obvious example is, of course, the poster boy for the Uchiha clan, Sasuke.

Also while on the topic, I don't dislike Mineta like many others, but the dislike towards him is more along the lines of he's perverted, and nothing else. Kaminari get's mentioned, but he has more going for him. Mineta only has like two moments where he isn't either shown as incredibly perverted, or cowardly.

A lot of shows add something to their perverted characters, other character defining traits, yet Mineta's ONLY defining trait is how perverted it is, and only on occasion is he shown to actually be pretty ballsy (I ain't sorry)

1) wimpy crybaby MC who wet their pants when the fight starts. Especially those anime in which MC is a wimp and the girl/close friend comes to rescue.
Prime example: Alibaba from magi, i was annoyed that whenever alibaba had to fight he would say the worst line possible
"Why is this happening to me" or "I can't do this"
2) Dumb MC/Overly Moral MC: Being dumb is a trait I can't understand. If the mc is strong then why put up a facade, at least don't overdo it. Example : trigun(some seriousness wouldn't have hurt it)
3) overly perverted MC: i dropped Magi and 7 deadly sins because of overly pervertrd MC. It's fine when there's a limit and their behaviour is random.
4) anyone who behaves like there's only goodness in the world and they are some sort of messenger of god. It's like who are you? A priest or something. Morals are fine but not killing a mass murderer kinda thing doesn't sit well.
5) I love TSUENDRE girls,at least they are realistic( most girls are tsunderes in real lige as well)

Violent, man-hating tsundere bitches who are aggressive/hostile without any real reason, simply because you look at her "funnily" like these bitch:

Arrogant, condescending, bitches who think they are oh so "special" and look down on everyone else and enjoys putting down and insulting legit nice characters because they made a blunder, while thinking such a thing would have "never" happened to them and they don't deserve their job because obviously they are losers incapable of doing anything right. SMH, i want to just strangle these characters! Example, these bitches:


Fucking Psychos who have no redeemable qualities and their sole defining trait is that they are obsessed, crazy nut cases that belong either in a mental intitute or in jail, but smh are still left wandering freely on the streets! Such as almost the whole cast of Durarara but particularly these sickos:


Characters who don't fight for their love are some i hate the most out of anyone! Even though they proclaim to be soooo in love with this person but don't do anything to uphold the relationship and/or win them over and then when complications start appearing, instead of doing whatever it takes to stay together/confess their feelings, they instead choose to become whiny little emo bitches who pity themselves and selfishly couse trouble for others by being little cunts such as these(but especially that fucking bitch Sayaka!):



Characters who lead others on and let them think they stand a chance only to blow them off at the end like it was nothing, why not just tell them straight away that you don't feel the same and don't ever intend to be together with them, why be a sadistic little cunt and keep them trying to win you over only to

example of such bitches:


Creepy Incestual characters who want to fuck their brother/sister such as these:



Sadistic and/or manipulative bastards who take pleasure in tormenting/torturing and hurting/killing others such as these scum bags:

[img]

Predatory and Perverted Paedophiles/Lesbians/Gays such as these filth:


Ungrateful whores who don't appreciate the nice guys who are helping them out and are either always nagging and insulting them whenever they get the chance or are simply a retarded cold and emotionless doll who doesn't get any semblance of development throughout the whole damn thing!

Examples of such bitches:


Parents who should be sentanced to death for being fucking monsters that should have been castrated to prevent them from ever having any kids in the first place!!!
Like these fucks:


Cowards/emotionless characters/especially if MC's, who would abandon people in need, even if the people where right about to be killed in front of them, even if said people are their fucking friends, these shitters would just run away pissing their pants or stare coldly without doing anything!

All these are pretty good candidates for the worst so here are some of my own:

This frog face bitch, canonically like 14 but with the personality of a neurotic 2 year-old, the reason why I dropped Clannad, swear on my fuckin life no other character has been as annoying:



Next up, this insufferable rat. I don't think it's possible to be any more neurotic, indecisive and self-defeating than this Mary Sue. And per usual of idealistic shojo garbage, it all turns out just peachy for her, with no effort on her behalf, regardless of her nonexistent character and wet paper towel personality. Kimi ni Todoke was garbage in general, 5 episodes of content and 30 episodes of filler with literally no plot development in between, what a profound series indeed.

Perverts overly obsessed with children like the main character in the current show WATATEN!. I'm close to dropping the show because of her.



I admit to being a female lolicon myself, but only regarding fictional stuff(which is a BIG difference), while these people are obsessed in a perverted way about what is being considered a real child in their world, which is what ruins it for me. While loving my lolis, I sure don't drool over real children.

Are you joking? Mineta is far too disgusting even if he has Bakugou's looks I'd still be disgusted. If Bakugou posses perverted trait the same level as Mineta, I'd hate him all the same and would have dropped the series without looking back at it no more.



Fans love Kaminari yet he's just as much of a pervert so yes, 90% of the fans that hate Mineta is just because he has a shitty design compared to the other male characters. If Bakugou had a similar design most people wouldn't be all over him and would turn their 'backs' on him the moment the scene where he bullied Izuku and basically told him to commit suicide appeared.

Let me get this point across: things like sex appeal/physical attractiveness do matter in A LOT of things, if not, in every aspect of life, including a fictional character in anime. I never denied it in my post above in case you misunderstood.

1. Kaminari IS not the same as Mineta in term of character.
- Kaminari is on a road to become a great hero, has clear and valid goals which are NOT just boobs and butts. Mineta quite literally wants to become a hero to get closer to the girls as he stated himself.
- Kaminari is a teen boy who likes girls but doesn't ever cross a line. Mineta on the other hand, has sexually harassed the girls multiple times, hell it feels like it's his only purpose in the story.
- What’s the worst Kaminari has done? Trick the girls into dressing up as cheerleaders?
- What’s the worst Mineta has done? Latching himself onto Momo butt? Groping Tsuyu’s boobs? Kaminari has never touched a girl inappropriately.
- Kaminari has never tried to grope a girl, peep on the girls while they’re undressed, or look into any of the girls’ underwear drawers. Who has? MINETA. Mineta has tried to peep on the girls TWICE (locker room and bath house).
- Mineta grabbed Tsuyu's boobs while they were watching Aizawa get brutalized by Nomu. I know it's accidental, and I wouldn't mind if it stops there but then he commented, "I didn't think a frog... would have such great boobs" while he had his hand on her breast.
- Mineta fucking whined about never getting to see boobs again when he thought they were going to die on the boat (iirc)
- And don't forget the midterm exam, he dedicated way too much time to being jealous of Sero. Because of what? Because he got knocked out by Midnight and got to sleep on her tight! Now now it's just Mineta's gag! Exactly. It's not funny in the slightest.

Kaminari's just a perfectly standard, horny teenager. Mineta, on the other hand, is creepy and invasive. He is a fucking criminal.
There’s just no way you can claim Kaminari is as perverted or sexually harasses girls as much as Mineta. Fucking fight me. I love Kaminari.
on top of everything Mineta is also a coward, a crybaby, and got shitty design and quirk

2. Your point about Bakugou, I can argue but I agree to some extent. As a character, he is more than just that. He is the most complex character in the series and his good looks only boost that quality even more. He is popular for a reason. But if he got shitty design, he won't be as popular as he is now. Or maybe he might even be hated more than liked just as you said. Looks do matter a lot. But back to the topic of Mineta, he has no redeeming quality AT ALL even when he got Bakugou's impossibly hot looks, I'd hate him all the same. When it comes to Mineta, looks meant nothing to me (and I'm sure pretty much every Mineta haters out there).

1. Any character that reminds me of Wolfram, a.k.a, abusive Type A tsunderes who are short tempered, delusional, arrogant and completely useless but people love them for their looks anyways.

2. Loli, imouto and characters who look nothing like their age like the MC's mother from Masamune-kun no Revenge or the 9 year old club advisor from Hinako note.

3. Oversized boobs, ass or any kind of sexualized characters.

4. Guys from reverse harem who constantly call girls using words like "koneko-chan", "kohana-chan", "hachimitsu-chan" or anything to those lines.

5. MCs who tolerate shit from tsunderes, Saito from Zero no Tsukaima is the worst in that category, I dropped the anime because I couldn't stand him saying he couldn't live in a world without the girl who only ever whipped him.

6. Perverted, horny or fujoshi characters.

7. Girls who easily give in to the (sexual) demands of guys even when they actually don't want to do it like Nanami from Bokura ga Ita. Also girls who fall for guys who invade their privacy and personal space and act like jerks. And I obviously hate those type of guys as well.

8. Over-the-top perfect characters who can do just about anything like Shiba Tatsuya.

1. Super-violent and irritating tsunderes. There's some rare exceptions out there, but I mostly dislike all tsundere characters because they're fucking psychos. Shitoge is a great example of this, even 'better' because she actually won. This just glorifies abusive behavior in relationships.

2. Doormats. I hate characters who just get beat up by others and do nothing about it, even if they actually did nothing wrong. Even worse if we're supposed to find it 'funny'. That shit just makes my blood boil. Another bad message, because this tells people to not stand up for themselves and just 'deal with it'. Harem shows seem to have a lot of doormat MCs.

3. Oblivious morons. Dude, literally everyone except you can see how that girl feels about you. Even worse if MC has multiple girls after him. After a certain point, I just like to imagine that MC-kun is gay, or suffers from serious mental health issues.

4. While I don't really have any problems with pervy characters, I don't like how they limit the number of people I can recommend a particular show to. For example, I wouldn't have problems with Mineta if he was in an ecchi series or one that's slightly more 'mature', but I don't like how I can't recommend MHA to some people because of him.

5. Not really a character type, but I dislike bullies who never suffer from any repercussions. Characters like Bakugo, who outright tell people less fortunate than themselves to commit suicide, but never really face any consequences for stuff like this...yeah, it's really shitty. I enjoy Bakugo as a character, but I don't like how he basically got away with his past behavior.

Perverted characters: Not characters who happen to be occassionally pervy, but like that's all there is to their character. Mineta is a perfect example. Comic relief my ass, that character is pointless and disgusting.

Tsunderes: At least the hardcore ones. The ones that always have to express their love with pain. I understand not being able to express their love, but no one is ever going to love you if you express your feelings through abuse.

Characters that can't express their love: I'm aware romance is hard to express, but this gets ridiculous. It's part of the reason I can't stand harem anime, because each love interest is equally inept at telling the protagonist they love them. This is part of what made me drop Nisekoi, since I got tired of the trope pretty fast.

Whiny/weak/useless protagonists: Yukiteru from Future Diary, Snow White from MagiPro, and Himiko from Btooom! are just a few examples. Rock from Black Lagoon subverted this trope and actually grew, which was part of the reason I liked his character. Almost any other characters like this I strongly dislike.

Mary Sue/Gary Stu/self-insert characters: Pretty self-explanatory.

Insteas of adding this, I felt this should be a separate post. Characters who defy basic logic are by-and-large, some of the most irritating characters to watch. Yukiteru is yet another example, primarily because his willingness to forgive other people was just ridiculous. The amount of times he forgave Yuno got to be extremely annoying, unrealistic, and contrived. Also when he rapidly forgave his dad so quickly after what he did just made no justifiable sense either. This character just defied basic human logic, and I have no clue why anyone likes him.

Characters who are inconsistent with their development.
Yukiteru Amano from Mirai Nikki is a perfect example.

Not a big fan of villains who are evil just for the sake of being evil, or have stupid motivations (unless it's played for comedy such as in One Punch Man with most of the hilariously over-the-top villains). I prefer being able to see their motivations and justifications as to how they ended up that way.

Characters that are presented as good or heroic by the narrative but end up being just jerks, idiots or hypocrites with zero acknowledgement of this by the story. Examples: Shirou from FSN, Suzaku from Code Geass and Naofumi from TateYuu.

What I essentially hate the most is a large dissonance between how the story portrays a character versus how I perceive it as an audience.
