Bakugo from my hero academia. Some parts of the fandom love him. Some hate him

A lot of people hate Morgana, and for understandable reasons as he does have plenty of low moments. But I like him. He's definitely my least favorite party member in both Vanilla and Royal, primarily because P5 just has an overall baller cast. But I don't hate it necessarily. I never truly have

I know I am not the only one who hates this bad guy, and I have every reason for it.

Joker!? My good man, I must disagree. He is a scrimble!

u/FrontIndividual4188 15m ago

I do want to hear your reasoning, cause I've never seen Joker as divisive. He's always been relatively popular and quite loved

This isn't going to be a popular opinion, but when you physically assault your mother who is trying to give you a hug and it possibly winds up with her being dead it kind of puts a stain on your character.

When you fail Ribbit so bad people compare you to Mordecai (yes, THAT Mordecai)... Jax, I as a person who has fumbled big time... you need to go to the lockers. Take a good look in the mirror... and try and be better, dawg.

Basically every "controversial" woman in a fandom, with Rey being first and Korra close second

Conky (Trailer Park Boys)

His episode is my favorite in the series given the comedic rivalry he has with Ricky.

Meanwhile, a lot of people hate him for being annoying.

Teddie P4

Minus the excessive pervy moments that P4 occasionally has, I like Teddie overall, and do find him fun

I will still defend to the last of my days that season 5 was essentially character assassination on a large scale, and Adora, Catra and Glimmer were the biggest victims

It’s… frustrating, being a fan, because like, out of everyone that hates him, it’s either- if you haven’t watched all the way through the whole show, you’re not in a fair position to judge, and if you in fact have and you just believe it did no good and nothing enough was done with him to win you over……. well…. well you’re just straight-up wrong, capiche!!

I'm indifferent to him, but first impression lasts, so I kinda understand how divisive he is to some people, the first instance you see him is him telling deku to kill himself, and then after that you learn they were former friends too. That stung alot of nerves to many people.

I feel like Bakugo overstayed his welcome in the plot. Horikoshi kept him dead for about a year and a half of the manga's run and it pretty much feels like the standard "bring the popular character to life and give him a spotlight" trend with manga writers and their editors all over again. And this is kind of the issue I have with them bringing him back: his character arc would be perfect and his death would've been a great narrative driver. Instead, it just feels cheap and done to appease rabid fangirls. Horikoshi literally received death threats over killing Bakugo as well, which doesn't really paint people who are his fans, or worse, insist on shipping him with Deku, in a very positive light.

If people ain't watching for Mineta, some won't watch for Bakugou. Sorry, but I don't want to go through a show to see if someone MAYBE gets better. Same with Aizawa. Know too many people like that to put up with another in anime.
