idk if me/someone else had brought this up before but while i get that inko crying and apologizing isn’t was izuku needed in the moment i understand why that was her reaction
because what else can she do? i know that i wouldn’t be able to think of what else to do/say in that moment. and inko def blames herself in a way for like, carrying some recessive quirkless gene or smth
there was nothing she could do to fix it, she was helpless and it probably ate at her every day. seeing your child's dream crumble in front of them and there being nothing you can do about it must be heartbreaking
I think this comes from my post "inko is a bad mum" where you rebloged it with a similar saying to your ask.
Agreed I understand why inko reacted the way she did when she found out Izuku was quirkless (however it bugs me that the concept of quirkless discrimination isn't delved into enough by horikoshi) and that she couldn't properly comfort her child or tell him that he can achieve his dream of becoming a hero.

Your explanation is exactly why I feel for inko and why I think the manga should of tried to focus on a redemption for her where she becomes a better parent to izuku. There's definitely a lot of self blaming and even a bit of hatred for inko "cursing" her son in a way and I do think that even horikoshi realises this because he does state that he feels sorry for inko any time he draws her.
