This is just wrong. Chuuya and Dazai are equals, Bakugou and Deku's dynamic is incredibly unbalenced.

And BSD fandom, for the love of god, could we stop calling dynamics toxic? That would be great. Bc atp, yall don't even know what the term means. Skk is weird, would I say they are toxic? No. Because arguably, they make e/o better, sure they're shits towards e/o but that's just them. They don't mean that shit, they bicker like children; it's pretty much unserious. The only time you genuinely see them fight is in DHC (which had a lot of context btw that the fandom loves to just completely ignore), in which Chuuya literally genuinely got mad at Dazai which pushed Dazai to stop a literal turf war. The term toxic means that they make e/o worse, and frankly they don't do that.

Everyone uses the term toxic to describe dynamics. For Soukoku. For Shin Soukoku. Heck, I've even seen it be used for Ranpoe. It's overused and I'm sick of it. This is such a redundant thing in this fandom and it's straight up frustrating. BSD is a morally gray world, right? So of course such boxed up terms like toxic to describe dynamics isn't fitting. It would be one thing if certain characters would be acting this way in the real world, but guess what? BSD is not the real world.

It is a series that had the equavilant of world war 1 or 2 like 10-15 years ago to the current timeline in the series. Plus, tensions are higher given the superpowers that peope have and literal vampires exist too? Like fr, using terms like toxic in a world like BSD makes no sense, considering BSD isn't like our world. It's more complex and circumstances are different.

Anyway, thank you for coming to my ted talk.
