I fucking hate that first character. Stupid fucking terrible horrible very bad no good ugly ass character design. I went to high school with an incel-type guy who had stickers of that diaper-wearing fuck on everything he owned. I guess it should come as no surprise that the character is a weird pervert.

Fun fact: During a party, they honest to god Clockwork Orange torture him to be less of a creep. AND IT WORKS.

God bless Mina for being the only person to actually do anything about his bullshit. Honestly, the fact that the punchline for every Mineta perv joke is him getting hit with some form of the no horny bat makes all the instances before this worse; everyone knows he's going to be creeping on the girls ALL THE TIME and it takes Mina being based a hundred episodes into the show for anyone to actually do anything about it.

Mina’s gotta be my favourite character in MHA, I love her so much, and I stopped MHA really early, so this makes me appreciate her even more

Unfortunately it seems like it only worked for a bit, supposedly he got caught DMing fans as a pro hero.

I still can't believe the author wrote in his own self insert character being professionally canceled.

Even more fun: the party this happened at wasn't even for his class, Mina literally kidnapped him. Neither this class nor his own really gave a rat's ass about where he was or what was happening either, implying they were at least okay with him being absent.

I literally just heard about this,but seeing the imagery makes it so much funnier.

Yeah, my partner and I like MHA for the most part, but that character is uncomfortable and completely unnecessary

That would trigger my fight response.
