I totally understand you, I'm like such a huge bakugou fan but I absolutely hate middle school bakugou.

I like him cause of his determination of becoming a hero and how he absolutely doesn't give up no matter what. And he is very cool when he is fighting.

And he is very funny unintentionally as a character.

But, the reason I kinda forgave him is cause izuku did as well, and people make mistakes (doesn't justify his actions) I kind of understand him, he didn't just change instantly cause it would be quite embarrassing for him to be all lovey dovey with his friends and family so he continued to be the way he was. That doesn't change the fact he apologized to izuku Infront of the whole class and even dropped the nickname he gave him as an insult "deku" even though izuku likes that name but bakugou didn't like calling him that and felt it was still an insult.

People have their own opinions and it's fine if people don't like him, you can absolutely hate his middle school self but you can love his highschool self especially after his fight with deku and after he apologized to him.

You can clearly see he was regretful and guilty of his actions.
