Those people who constantly reblog your stuff but you never really talk:

closer look at my cover art for zipper tits, the trans bakugou zine

Tenkoooo....

Most of the time, I wish people wouldn't water down characters to fit in the mould of romance—– But I do understand that fiction is often an escape from reality, and fans perceive art the way they need to.

But I really love BKDK.

And I wish people would realize that, without watering down the intensity of a character, the reality of the dynamic is far superior in it's rawest form.

The growth driven by respect they have for each other. The admiration and recognition through setting each other as their own standards.

Twin blades—– clashing, TRANSCENDING affection and reassurances.

Sparring, fighting and racing each other out of pure Respect. Hand holding? No, collar grabbing and screaming:

"I will surpass you."

"I see your greatness and I will mold myself into your worthy adversary."

I promise you—– that the accuracy of how egoistical, competitive and fragile Bakugo is... is exactly what makes BKDK thrilling.

I think it would be beautiful if more people recognized that love in it's purest form, is deeper than just the surfaces of physical affection and verbal affirmations. The reassurance that your existence matters, through admiration and sometimes both art and people, softness of love lies in what was never communicated directly.

True admiration isn't contingent on praise. It’s recognizing a person's depth, their struggle, and their brilliance without needing to demand it be reflected back. The most profound love often doesn't shout; it whispers in the spaces between words, in the gestures that go unnoticed.

I hope that people recognize that unconditional love does exist, and it's BKDK—– in their rawest form.

It’s kinda telling that out of that whole post about fandom etiquette and letting people enjoy things, the only part you chose to respond to was “if you’re homophobic just say so,” like that was the biggest issue—while completely ignoring the part about how people ruin others’ fun by pushing their standards or negativity into spaces where folks are just vibing.

Nobody said “you have to like bkdk or you’re homophobic.” The point was: if your dislike is rooted in double standards or discomfort with queerness, just own it. There’s a difference between “not vibing with a ship” and making snide comments, overanalyzing it to death, or dismissing queer dynamics as “toxic” while letting the same thing slide in straight ships.

It’s wild to pretend bkdk shippers “only say ur homophobic” when most are just exhausted from defending their enjoyment of a ship that constantly gets singled out because it’s two guys with a complex dynamic. You can dislike yaoi or yuri tropes, sure, but if that dislike only comes up when it’s queer ships and you give every straight trope a pass, maybe there is something deeper going on.

Also… weird how the whole message about letting people have fun and not pushing standards didn’t get a peep from you. Makes it feel like the real goal was just to stir something instead of making a valid counterpoint.

It’s honestly exhausting how much hate this ship gets. Like—bkdk isn’t even canon, and yet people act like it’s a threat to their entire worldview. The amount of discourse, nitpicking, and obsession some folks have with discrediting or tearing it down is wild. And when someone finally says, “hey, if your dislike is rooted in homophobia, just say that,” suddenly that’s the issue? Not the constant passive-aggressive comments, not the double standards, not the targeted hate—just that one sentence? Yeah, okay.

The original post wasn’t even aggressive. It was literally just: “stop ruining people’s fun by forcing your standards onto them.” And instead of engaging with that very valid point about fandom behavior, you laser-focused on one line and made a generalized statement about all bkdk shippers like that proves something.

It’s not about whether someone likes the ship or not—it’s about how people treat others for liking it. The hate isn’t just “I don’t like this ship,” it’s full-on essays, weird psychoanalysis, constant accusations of fetishizing, toxicity, or being delusional. And the fact that this only happens with queer ships like bkdk (and not, say, ships with the exact same rival dynamic but straight) says a lot.

Disliking yaoi/yuri tropes is fine. Preferring different ships is fine. But if your “criticism” is indistinguishable from what queerphobic people say, maybe that’s something worth sitting with instead of trying to make it a bkdk shipper problem.

Also (just to say):
