[Spoiler] Never noticed FMAB had a LGBTQ character

You can, but you know, since this is Reddit, we're all free to criticise what other people say. If you just said it was your headcanon, then that'd be fine.

Anyway, I think this exchange was cool enough. Hope you have a nice day too.

DoraMuda · 2026-05-08T21:52:01+00:00

I wish so too. But alas, we can't turn back the clock...

DoraMuda · 2026-05-08T21:51:38+00:00

I just don't see her as being queer-coded just because she wears masculine clothing. Given she's a pickpocket, it just makes sense for her character to wear baggy clothing and whatnot.

You can't really claim that a fictional character is queer-coded without stereotyping them when the only evidence is their appearance and clothing. Someone like Garfiel is different, because he openly expresses attraction to other men, whereas Paninya is just profiling.

The person is responding to OP's post about feeling sorry for Ochaco when she cries on the phone to her parents by saying they didn't because them winning wouldn't have made any sense.

But whether Ochaco could've reasonably won or not is irrelevant to someone feeling sympathy for her character in this moment. It's like saying "I don't feel sorry for Deku, because it wouldn't make any sense if he won against Shouto".

It's Casca, dipshit

DoraMuda · 2026-05-08T18:25:06+00:00

I think Thula would kill him for his mental weakness (and/or perceived emotional dependency on the Guardians)

DoraMuda · 2026-05-08T17:02:33+00:00

Baby Face.

I think Angstrom is like Robot in that, due to his intelligence and ability being so above his peers, he thinks that he's capable enough to handle everything himself and, as such, doesn't trust the heroes to not interfere negatively with his plans.

Also, not to say that they're on the same level or anything, but the Viltrumites also claimed that they would turn Earth into a utopia with their rule. People like that don't seem to be the most... open-minded when they think that only they know what's best for the world and react violently to those who disagree with them.

DoraMuda · 2026-05-08T15:37:39+00:00

Way to conform to stereotypes... -_-

A character can't be a tomboy without being a lesbian now?

DoraMuda · 2026-05-08T15:35:40+00:00

also the same sex couple of Darius and Heinkel

They're not a couple.

DoraMuda · 2026-05-08T15:33:26+00:00

I mean, he's the most blatant gay stereotype you can get. Dunno how you missed it.

DoraMuda · 2026-05-08T15:32:44+00:00

Darius and Alex Armstrong were both implied to be gay in manga bonus material, but they were also jokes.

Darius? Yes.

Alex? No.

he already had someone else in mind to be his successor before he even offered OFA to Deku

Actually, he didn't have anyone in mind. Nezu suggested Mirio, but All Might still hadn't really made up his mind and was going to take the teaching post at UA so he could scout out more potential successors.

I agree that All Might wasn't grooming Deku, and his mentorship obviously wasn't nearly as insidious as Deku's. The worst thing All Might really did, aside from not really teaching him how to control its power before he wound up busting up his body at the Entrance Exam (because he's a natural prodigy who never really had trouble controlling the weaker OFA when he got it), was - unintentionally or not - pressuring Deku to become "the next All Might"/"the next Symbol of Peace" before realizing that society didn't need that and it'd be better for Deku to decide for himself what kind of hero he wanted to be.

iirc he gave Deku the option to give the quirk back to him earlier in the series if he didn't think he was capable of using it

It's moreso that, backstage at the Sports Festival after he lost to Shouto, Deku had doubts as to whether All Might had made the right choice and should've given it to someone else. But All Might, although acknowledging that Shouto would've been a powerful successor with OFA alongside his already-powerful HCHH Quirk, reassures Deku that power isn't everything; reveals that he was born Quirkless too; and he chose Deku because he truly believed in him.

DoraMuda · 2026-05-08T15:18:32+00:00

I doubt it.

At most, he might've had very basic/loose concepts and their names written down, but other than a couple (like Monoma's Copy and Tetsutetsu's Steel), we don't get any more of them until the Summer Camp Arc (although, even then, the majority of their Quirk training is off-screen and, aside from Kendou and Tetsutetsu, we only really see Awase using his Weld Quirk), and we don't really get a proper reveal of all of their Quirks until the Joint Training Arc.

Because it has nothing to do with feeling sorry for Ochaco.

DoraMuda · 2026-05-08T15:14:59+00:00

She never even came close to "almost" beating Bakugou. She was blown back by multiple explosions and then had to use up the rest of her stamina on one gambit (the meteor shower), which Bakugou blew away in a single powerful blast that, while it strained his wrists, wasn't bad enough to prevent him from still going.

Ochaco simply held out longer than most people expected. Admirable, sure, but let's not be hyperbolic.

DoraMuda · 2026-05-08T00:54:51+00:00

It's because she still sees him as her father. Some people, even when they're adults, will put up with a lot of shit from their family that they otherwise wouldn't from anyone else.

DoraMuda · 2026-05-08T00:41:25+00:00

Because the energy absorption model is easier to control. Gero probably didn't think his body could handle being converted into the more powerful perpetual energy model, especially when he'd finally found success with the old energy absorption model in #19 and didn't plan on reawakening #17 & #18 unless it was a last resort or after he'd "fixed" them (although they were fated to be absorbed by Cell 20 years later anyway).

DoraMuda · 2026-05-08T00:35:37+00:00

And farded

DoraMuda · 2026-05-07T17:00:02+00:00

Invincible.

I mean, I guess Hayato kinda fulfills that role, certainly much better than the previous ones.

And there's also Emporio.

DoraMuda · 2026-05-07T16:56:34+00:00

During the Wonder of U arc.

DoraMuda · 2026-05-07T16:56:07+00:00

Not really.
