What I say: Katsuki Bakugou is a bitch
What I mean: Katsuki’s entire personality revolves around growing up as a big fish in a small pond, and as a result developed a superiority complex that has lead his treatment of those around him. While he has the talent to be a hero, this doesn’t change the fact that he was little more than a bully to Midoriya, and has yet to view that behavior as wrong. In fact, all of his beef with Midoriya lies in the fact that he saw Midoriya as “a pebble in the road” to him, and had, in Bakugou’s mind, lied to him throughout their child as being quirkless. Even if Midoriya secretly did have a quirk and had kept it a secret from Bakugou, that does not excuse Bakugou’s treatment of Midoriya, and until Bakugou recognizes, apologizes, and seeks to make amends to Midoriya for that behavior, I cannot in good conscience view Bakugou as a character worth pity and/or sympathy.
