The MHA fandom drama - July/August 2022
The absolute mess that happened with the recent (August 2022) My Hero Academia chapters, mainly related around the mocking of Bakugou (and Bakudeku) fans and the hate for MHA after his almost-revival.
Keep in mind that most of this images contain hate, insults, possible TW too (suicide mentions, death, ableism, homophobia and transphobia). Read with caution.
Each picture has a description in the caption, you will need to click on the picture to read it.
The post is divided in:
01: Chapter 362 drama, hate people were sending
02: The hate for the manga after chapter 364
03: The hate specifically sent to Horikoshi's twitter account
04: People mocking suicide and spreading rumors about people killing themselves over Bakugou

01. Bakugou and Bakugou-fans hate, around chapter 362 (and just before)
These are some examples I encountered of the hate people who like Bakugou (or shippers in general) received during the Shigaraki vs Bakugou chapters, and especially after his "death" in chapter 362. TW for suicide baiting, death mentions. Click on each picture to read the caption.

02. Post 364, Bakugou is said to be revived, the fandom loses it
After Edgeshot decided to sacrifice himself to save Bakugou (leaks that came out the 25th of August), people started calling MHA "Mickey Mouse" or "Disney" en masse, believing that reviving a dead character makes the manga trash, garbage, childish or other variations of these.
03. Hate sent to Horikoshi specifically, from Bakugou-antis, and people who hated chapter 364
These are some of the hateful and threatening tweets that people sent specifically to Horikoshi, by tagging him on twitter. So many more did not tag @ at him, so I am only posting the ones directly tagged at him (a part for a couple, I will explain why they are here).
Some of the tweets are in Spanish or other languages and I will add translations in the caption or in the image.
I also do not believe Horikoshi sees any of this, his tweet account is promotional only and as far as I am aware he is not fluent in English (from what he himself has said in the past), still it is distasteful, and in particular it is dumb given that many shared information on illegal leaks, as the chapter was not out yet.

04. Suicide baiting/mockery
Some distasteful jokes on suicide, with extra ableism. All started after chapter 364.
