Salvaging trash: A role model for Minoru?
I theorized whether Mineta would benefit from having a positive male role model. Someone whom he respects enough, to learn from how to respect other humans.
Obviously girls' and women's reactions to his actions should be more than enough for Mineta to rethink his behaviour.
But just like in real life, unfortunately that's often not the case.
...
To preface:
Pervy loser as a trope is not funny to me at all, but as long as its clear that this behaviour is specifically the reason, why he’s a loser, and as long as other characters step in to keep the character from doing worse, I'm "ok" with it.
As in, I dislike it, but I’m feeling mostly detached from Mineta’s portrayal. I’ll just fast forward those scenes, if they annoy me too much.
Personally, I’m not one for the whole “expel Mineta, and substitute him with Shinso” (especially, since I don’t find Shinso very likable or interesting himself): I would have appreciated Mineta going through a small arc of self-directed character development regarding his view of girls. Instead Horikoshi’s shortcutted that, by having Mineta being forced into A Orange Clockwork-experience.
That wasn't to be - slightly disappointing but not surprising.
What I’m NOT okay with, is the framing of “boys will be boys”:
I fucking hate that Horikoshi had Mandalay remarking on Mineta’s inappropriate behaviour at the camp with smt like ~unsurprising, with a class full of teenage boys. ~
No. Just no.
That kind of behaviour should feel surprising, and not be treated as normal.
And it actually wasn't.
...well, it wasn't treated as normal by the kids:
Were most of the boys curious about the other side of the onsen? Likely.
But not a single one of them encouraged or participated in Mineta’s peeping attempt. In fact, many different guys in 1-A have verbalized their displeasure with Mineta’s “comedic” perverseness in different instances. Some more, some less, but more than one of them did.
"Boys will be boys"- way of thinking, really needs to die. Die! DIE!!!
It feels especially insulting since a male author has a female AND grown character reinforce this perspective.
Preface end.
Mineta has shown a caring side:
Expressed his deep affection for Deku during Class 1-A v. Deku;
Cried tears of happiness, when Bakugou finally woke up in the hospital after the PLW and tried his best to prevent the latter from getting out of bed and hurting himself in the process;
Felt very remorseful about some of his previous comments, after Shouji confides his own experiences with discrimination to the class, and expressed that remorse directly to the person whom he wronged;
Provokes AFO to divert his attention from Tokoyami, and then offers up his own quirk... all in hope that Dark Shadow wouldn’t get taken away from Tokoyami.
What do the recipient of Mineta's care have in common?
They're male.
My brain: If one cares about a person/group, one would be more inclined to listen to them than if they didn't care about that person/group. However...
Out of the 1-A guys, Iida might have been probably the most vocal about his disapproval of Mineta's inappropriate behaviour towards girls, and has tried to lecture Mineta into being a better person on multiple occasions.
Other characters that I remember as having interferred more intensely are Kirishima and Sero.
But none of them were successful in discouraging Mineta from harassing others in the longterm.
It's not a matter of general respect either.
Shouji and Deku, two of the guys Mineta does respect, and cares about, have told the latter to knock it off, to no avail. Admittedly, their attempts (especially Deku's) were more mild-mannered, compared to e.g. Iida.
My second theory is, that while Mineta cares about Deku and Shouji in general, he might not put much stock into their opinion about how to treat girls.
My third theory is, that those interferences were in fact, probably not intense enough for Mineta.
Putting this all together, for a role model to have an effect on Mineta they must
Have his overall respect,
make their disapproval of sexual harassment very clear, sternly, and repeatedly,
and ideally, someone, who is "good with girls".
... so probably no guy from 1-A.
E.g., while Todoroki is considered a bishonen in-universe, he's coasting entirely on his outward appearance here. Characterwise, he's more of an awkward duck. He's also not among those who have ever voiced displeasure at Mineta's antics.
Would Mirio work as a role model on Mineta’s hypothetical goal of how to become a better human being?
Honestly, I feel like a direct, but less wordy type than Iida might work.
For example, someone like Kota.
Yes, the no-nonsense kid, who destroyed Mineta with just one sentence, might work...
If only he were an older hero course student.
I wasn't ready to see this even though I knew. I was screaming the whole time with my sister judging me, she was also watching

Spoilers!! S7 EP149
That episode yesterday absolutely shattered me.
aizawa telling everyone to protect katsuki because he’s has to graduate and aim for #1
SOBBED.
amajiki: “Hado, I wanted to have a graduation ceremony..”
SOBBED.
The whole scene between shigaraki and mirio—“I do have friends!!”— the desperation in shigarakis voice..
SOBBED.
Hados whole flashback.
SOBBED.
“I have to win…right, Izuku?”
“You already went through all this, didn’t you?”
“Hey, Izuku… can I still catch up to you..?”
THE AUTOGRAPH SCENE.
His smile when he asked for all nights autograph. ON THE CARD. HIM HAVING THE CARD WITH HIM. IT BEING NEXT TO HIM.
HIS MOM.
“That kid hates the rain..”
Aizawas. Face.
Basically I was inconsolable this whole episode and there no words to describe how much I love katsuki. He’s been my favorite since day one MY HEART IS LITERALLY BROKEN.
I don’t read the manga but I do know some spoilers. Even so, I quite literally couldn’t breathe.
good night chat
Such a cutie pie 🥰🥰🥰🥰
they’re so pretty!!!
… also I find it sad that spinner is the only one with his eyes open.
Heyoooo
I tested some of D.A's suggestion for some of MHA's Season 7 shots. For Toga, I don't know what the weather is like at the moment. But I tested a cloudier and more threatening sky. For Tomura, I realized that his fight against Star and Stripes was supposed to take place in the stratosphere. I therefore tested an A.D. taking this parameter into account.
Hey! In the preview of the next episode I saw this screen and ... no it just wasn't Tomura, so I took the liberty of correcting it a bit and adding the art direction of the new opening 💛
thinkin abt how last weeks mha episode was just straight trauma, except for the two seconds where iida’s full asscheeks were out ???
