I think my biggest argument against Bakugou stans insistence that none of his awful behavior is his fault and that he has amazing character development is this: you have to WANT to change in order to actually change.

I won't deny that his teachers and society in general played a part in making him the person that he is today, but people love forgetting that Bakugou could have chosen to not behave the way he behaves. In my previous post, I talked about how he could have actually reflected on how and why he got kidnapped, why he was being criticized by the media, and why he failed the PHL exam. He could have realized that 1B and 1C hate 1A just because they're associated with him and his arrogance.

Instead, he just projects his own insecurities on Izuku and acts like just because he has not just a Quirk, but a "hErOiC qUiRk" (god I hate that so much), he's entitled to treat people - Izuku especially - like dirt. He throws a tantrum because Izuku gets a Quirk. He throws a tantrum because he lost against Izuku in the Battle Trials. He throws a tantrum because Uraraka put up a damn good fight against him. He throws a tantrum because Todoroki didn't fight him at his full power. He throws a tantrum when he's being taken back to camp during the Training Camp Arc. He throws a tantrum when the rescue team finds him. He throws a tantrum when he fails the PHL exam. He throws a tantrum when he finds out about Izuku having OFA.

And even after this supposed #bigmoment for him, he STILL acts the same as before. He offers absolutely nothing to the table during the OFA meetings except for his obnoxious arrogance, he's STILL an asshole to civilians when that's precisely why he failed the fucking exam in the first place. Instead of realizing that his treatment of Izuku is one of the main reasons why he left UA and sees himself as worthless, he blames ALL MIGHT of all people and completely absolves himself of any and all responsibility. He completely brushes past how and why he "looked down on Izuku" and gives a surface level apology... before acting exactly how he did before. He even has the nerve to make Izuku losing OFA all about him.

Bakugou doesn't want to change, so he doesn't see behavior as wrong. No one around him sees his behavior as wrong either, which just adds to it. And in arguing that Bakugou isn't responsible for his behavior, it takes agency away from him and his non-existent "growth".

Honestly, there are a million and one ways Bakugou's development could have been improved. But for me, just keeping him more aware of his actions and reflecting on them would have been enough. Him making the conscious effort not to be a dick would have shown he's actually changing and wants to improve.

But no, Bakugou doesn't see fit to change because no one makes him. He can't take the criticism from others to heart because people- Aizawa, Kirishima, Uraraka, and even Izuku and All Might- are there refuting it. How is he supposed to improve when the people around him are defending and condoning his awful behavior? How is he supposed to realize how bad his actions were when the narrative is using other characters to downplay them?

(Having Uraraka of all people defend him in the light novels was such a weird choice. I talked about it and mentioned it to @doodlegirl1998 before, but it's clear throughout the fight that Bakugou still looked down on her. Her not being able to recognize that and turning into one of his props was such a slap in the face to her character. She's one of the main victims of bad writing in the manga and having her agency stripped even more is just insult to injury. She deserved so much more)

Bakugou is, at his core, entitled. He felt entitled to treat torment Izuku. He felt entitled to know how Izuku had a quirk. He felt entitled to face Todoroki's fire. He felt entitled to know about OFA. Bakugou's character centers around this thinking that he can get his way no matter what, and then throws a temper tantrum when that doesn't happen.

This literally persists to the very last moment because he's currently devastated that Izuku lost OFA, when he's not the victim here. How fucking self-centered do you have to be when your so-called friend lost an important part of himself and he has to comfort you about it because for some reason you're acting like you were the one that was hurt?

Bakugou constantly makes everything about himself and the narrative not only enables that, it perpetuates it

[nutzgunray-lvt]

Not to sound too inflammatory, but how the HELL did Horikoshi write Bakugou vs Izuku 2 the way he did and think that's good writing?

This was supposed to be Bakugou's #BigMoment where he stops being a bully to Izuku and instead becomes his rival. This is supposed to be where he starts to actually develop past his abusive egoist (Hori's words, not mine) personality and realize that he's not the main character and needs to get his head out of his ass.

Instead of getting that, we get this utter hot mess where Bakugou is once again put on a pedestal over Izuku, and Izuku's the one having to make nice with him because of course he is.

To outline, Bakugou up to this point has:

Mercilessly bullied Izuku for 10+ years for being Quirkless, while simultaneously acting offended that Izuku never told him about OFA during the QAT

Was an ungrateful asshole to Izuku after he tried saving him from the Sludge Villain

Attempted to torture him and nearly killed him during the Battle Trials

Nearly got Thirteen killed when he ruined her plan to subdue Kurogiri at the USJ

Toyed with Ochako during the Sports Festival

Accossted an unconcious Todoroki during the Sports Festival, which got both him and UA immense public backlash

Was an ungrateful, aggressive asshole to Best Jeanist both in and out of public to the point where Best Jeanist remarks on Bakugou's complete lack of growth

Backhanded Izuku and outright said he'd rather fail his final exam rather than work with Izuku

Deliberately disobeyed orders to run back to camp and instead ran straight for the villains (twice!)

Had to be reminded over and over again to not use his Quirk due to collateral damage reasons (not that he understands or cares about that, but whatever)

Was an ungrateful asshole to All Might and the tean during the entire Kamino Ward mission

Failed the Provisional License Exam due to his horrible attitude towards civilians

You'd think that with how complex and three-dimensional we're supposed to believe Bakugou is, he'd realize that the public and his mother have a point in regards to his attitude. You'd think that he'd reflect on his behavior and realize that heroes SHOULDN'T act like this, especially as someone who's such an All Might fanboy (gag).

Similarly, you'd think that UA would realize that even if it's solely for PR's sake, they need to crack down on Bakugou's behavior and stop enabling him at the expense of Izuku and everyone else. It's already landed Aizawa and his teaching in hot water, since it makes it look like he couldn't care less about his behavior (which he proceeds to confirm is indeed the case). Should Bakugou vs Izuku 2 still happen, All Might could have given Bakugou a reality check and told him that:

OFA is none of his business

Bakugou doesn't have the attitude All Might wants in a successor

His bullying of Izuku is awful and needs to stop effective immediately

All Bakugou is doing is making himself and UA look bad with his attitude

Bakugou can get people - including himself - hurt and/or killed with his attitude and actions

Crying and pitching a fit about it isn't going to change anything

Have Bakugou and only Bakugou punished since he not only started the fight, he wouldn't let Izuku leave

But nope. We get this instead:

Bakugou coerces Izuku into breaking curfew

Bakugou demands to know why he failed his exam while Izuku passed his

Bakugou demands to know about OFA and why Izuku didn't stay inferior to him like he was "supposed to"

Bakugou then segways into his whiny proclamation that he made All Might retire

Bakugou then makes Izuku fight him

Bakugou pitches a fit to All Might about not being chosen to weild OFA and cries like a toddler being denied candy at the checkout line... leading to All Might COMFORTING HIM and leaving Izuku by the wayside

Aizawa proceeds to not even TRY to get the full story and Bakugou gets house arrest, but Izuku does as well which negates the whole fucking point

How the HELL is any of this good writing? How the HELL is any of this positive character development for everybody involved? All it does is further show that a) Hori really wishes Bakugou was the main character, b) Bakugou is a walking talking example of why Tell Don't Show never works, and c) everyone else's characterization suffers because of this.

A big deal #tbt to my twinning friends Ashley and Thomas. Yesterday Ashley gave an amazing doctoral defense that I got to attend via zoom and she became Dr. @ashleyminnerart ! It’s been inspiring to see her work so hard and so passionately the past few years with her community, in archives, and on her laptop. I had never watched a doctoral defense before yesterday but I imagined the process to be impersonal, above my head, and rigid. But her presentation about Baltimore’s Lumbee community, identity and place was brilliant, thoughtful, thought provoking, heartfelt and human. I’m proud of you Ashley and proud to be your friend! You make this world a better, more thoughtful place. I’m excited too see what you’ll decide to do next, after a well deserved break.
