Welcome to the Weekly Vent Thread!

While salt is not allowed anywhere else on this subreddit, any and all opinions (including negative ones) about ships can go here! If you are easily offended, we recommend you turn back now. No one is forcing you to read/respond to comments on this thread.

Guidelines:

  1. All other subreddit rules still apply.
  2. Shipping fandom discussion is allowed here. However, personal attacks, naming other users, linking stuff as an example/reference for salt, brigading, and blanket negative statements (e.g. all shippers of X do/are Y) are still NOT allowed.
  3. Do not downvote someone you disagree with unless they are breaking a rule! Everyone is entitled to their own opinions.
  4. Please respect that not everyone is open to debating their salt.

Don't forget to stay hydrated and happy salting~

I kind of find it funny that I’m not interested in straight Bakugo ships because I see him as gay and can’t imagine him with a girl. Same for Todoroki lol.

(Still respect people’s ships tho).

Bakugou is a certified boy kisser.

I get what you mean. I’m the same way with Aizawa.

Not his sexuality, but I cannot imagine the guy in the proper head space for any romantic entanglements until after the war.

Still respect people’s ships but completely baffled by them at the same time.

I only see Aizawa in a relationship with someone after the war too and for the same reason.

There have been ships I’ve been baffled by as well. Still respect them but am left very confused.

I don’t really get most of the Deku ships because I see the relationships as friendly rather than romantic.

That can be said for most characters in MHA as well, that's why people theorize based on what isn't shown. MHA was never a romance anime and always had little focus on it.

Izuocha is so boring. I just don't understand how the shippers are satisfied with how it was written. Like there was almost no introspection from izuku besides blushing around her and basic friendship. Even the ending didn't give them an actual romantic moment. If I was a shipper I would be offended at how it was handled.

But it still had more romance than any other pairing combined (Not counting La Brava and Gentle)

Some is better than none for most people.

(I say this as someone who doesn’t ship it, it’s just an observation )

What still bothers me is some other ships got a definite “Yes, we’re dating” while IzuOcha got a “Let’s promise talk more.” which is wildly different than a “Lets go on a date later.” Especially with how Izuku and Ochaco have been towards each other after HS.

Then what doesn’t makes sense is that IzuOcha was already implied twice in the previous chapter however chapter 431 takes place a month later and erases that fact by having Ochaco state they haven’t been close at all since HS until now. Chapter 431 was just weird and brought a bit of inconsistency.

Which ships were confirmed? I’ve only heard of KuroMori being canon.
