Third post I'm making on this topic because I simply can't stop thinking about it and I am going to be stuck in some layer of hell until I see more but I just don't see how Uraraka talking to Toga about her feelings for Midoriya could... do anything, outside of strengthening their connection? And that's it? What I mean is, the two of them are similar in the sense that they have both experienced self-repression, but there is an abyssal difference between their experiences, and what led them to it. "I can't allow myself to be distracted" and "I can't help the way I am" simply are not the same thing. A crush worsening your performance isn't the same as society utterly rejecting you. Even the results they got out of it are different, completely so.

If Uraraka is supposed to embody the "good" way in which to love someone or something along these lines (aka what's most likely going to happen in my opinion), how would this even solve the issue? Toga already knows that she isn't "normal", that she can't be. The whole point of their previous confrontation is that people don't consider her a person exactly because of this. The Talk About Love is inevitable and not out of nowhere as some people seem to believe, but the problem here is what it will entail, and how it will lead to Toga's salvation. And if said salvation is going to be even just partially (I am not forgetting that you're going to have some role in there too, Hawks) dependent on Toga, idk, doing a full 180 thanks to the oh-holy and illuminating powers of Uraraka's Good Feelings for Midoriya or something like this... that will be the biggest let down for me.

I just wish I were among the people who still have hope for this mess to be solved in a good way...
