right now, chainsaw man fans and mha fans are duking it out on Twitter bc they're arguing over whether Reze or Bakugo would win in a fight and it's hilarious because most people are saying Reze.
but mostly bc she's a better written character and it's come down to the fandoms fighting over who they simply like better.
and it's hilarious because first off, amazing art and gifs have come out of it, like hundreds of artists have come out to draw Reze kicking Bakugo's ass.
but it's also great because Bakugo is so hated that Bakugo fans have been jokingly (and seriously) saying bakudeku fan artists, we need you.
only for them to say hey you've hated us for years and now you need our help?
pitiful.
shit is hysterical.
(also my personal opinion is that Reze wins because she's a woman and I support women and she's a cooler character design so, she mogs)
it might've been completely misogynistic at its core, but shonen anime did kinda pop off when they accidentally wrote the most aggressively homoerotic rivalries known to humankind and then made the case that you actually can love a man you've stabbed to death more than your wife.
like I know it doesn't forgive the vicious sexism, but like many aspects of homosexual culture, it's sort of the best you can get, at the expense of cishet women everywhere. so.
sorry, ladies, but uh. at least there are more trans men, gay men, lesbians, and other queers in the world because they got hooked on sasunaru high school aus! if it's any comfort.
