All the canonically LGBTQ+ characters in ‘My Hero Academia’
In the last several years, My Hero Academia grew to become one of the most widespread battle shonen in the world. As most manga and anime aficionados recognize, this genre is not typically the one you depart to for excellent LGBTQ+ representation. When searching for lgbtq+ content, folks naturally gravitate toward the Boys’ Love and Girls’ Love subgenres, of which the main focus you can probably assume just by reading those words.
All that said, LGBTQ+ advocacy has been growing in other types of content, and while My Hero Academia is by no means the pinnacle of that, it’s always pleasant to see lgbtq+ characters in such a popular series. People deserve to see themselves on the screen, no matter what genre of content they’re consuming, and luckily for My Hero Academia enthusiasts, the series has provided us with a few LGBTQ+ characters. Look, I won’t sit here and pretend that Kohei Horikoshi deserves a pat on the back for including three queer characters in his series, two of them being minor, but it’s something.
Granted, there are a rare more characters in My Hero Acade Mineta is one of the most hated characters in My Hero Academia, not just by several of the characters on the show (especially the female ones) but also fans. He is lecherous, perverted, and a bit of a coward. A subset demographic of fans now hate him more because Mineta would be a crass representation of a bisexual. Mineta potentially being bisexual plays into the trope that bisexual people (particularly bisexual males) are promiscuous predators who are not to be trusted. There is little reliable evidence of Mineta being bisexual. Most of the speculation comes from the My Hero Academia manga Chapter #321, where Mineta says to Deku, "I fell for you." This is hardly a case for his sexuality. Still, more hinges on the fact that English translations are not always reliable, whereas looking into a more reliable translation from Japanese has Mineta stating that he "admired" him. For those living in the West, the reaction to Mineta organism perceived as bisexual may feel the alike as what happened to the latest iteration of Superman coming out as bisexual. Jon Kent, son of Clark Kent, came out in Superman: Son of Kal-El #4. This is Anonymous asked: do you think horikoshi's level of "not giving a fuck" its high enough for making a canon gay couple? (ships aside) Horikoshi is at least aware of LGBT rights based on this moment with Magne. and based on him creating a canon gender non-conforming character. Horikoshi is a progressive penner and handles a lot of mature topics better than most shounen authors. He reminds me a little of Togashi, the shounen author of HunterxHunter. Togashi and his wife both aid LGBT rights, and Togashi has made a prominent character transitioned, and there are a lot of characters in HunterxHunter whose sexuality or gender are shrouded in mystery. The reason why I think these two authors are so similar is because both handle sensitive material rather maturely and both have confirmed LGBT characters. Plus, if Attack on Titan can have a canon gay couple, then Boku no Hero Academia should be competent to get away with having a canon gay couple with time. LGBT rights keeps developing in Japan every year, and Boku no Hero Academia still has years to go before concluding. LGBT rights most likely will hav Ahem, ahem Friendly reminder that this is all my personal opinion and I'm sorry if you don't agree with them! (Also feel free to comment on which part you dissagree and you may change my mind!) _____________________ Yuga Aoyama Seat No. 1 I think that Aoyama is gay. Aside from him looking like the stereotypical gay guy, I think that since he showed no interest in girls and the only person he's shown to at least be interesten in a little bit, is Deku. I consider that he'd get along with girls and talks to them about their crushes (*cough*Uraraka*cough*) and be a total gossip queen. Mina Ashido Seat No. 2 I wasn't very sure about this one, but I assess Mina is a Queer woman , because she doesn't entertainment any romantic interest in any of the guys at all, but has shown to be very invested in other girls' crushes. (This is a minor thing, but in the manga she had shown to want Momo to dance with them at the festival, cuz she'd be cute, but Momo ended up playing the keyboard, I think) Tsuyu Asui Seat No. 3 I reflect Tsu is a female homosexual as well. Again, becaude her lack of interest in guys and her care for the girls. A common example, could be when s
