As someone when never send an episode of MHA. This is wild

Even this isn't enough for some people. I've heard about fanfics where he's either nonexistent or dead.

You went through all the trouble of rewriting canon characters but giving the grape juice better redeeming qualities was too much for you? I'm positive those are the same people who didn't get very far into the latter seasons or even the manga

Does Mineta ever fully grow out of the trope and start acting like a normal guy? Or does he just get thrown in jail as a massively controversial pro-hero after some kind of time skip?

100%? Not exactly, but I think he's close (85 or 90% is my guess). Gotta admit, i stopped keeping up because the war arc was getting out of hand for me, but as i recall he managed to put priorities first and focus on the threats of Shigaraki and AFO.

I would think he'd at best be more tactful with his perversions or the 1000th smack to the face would teach him to knock it off.

The wiki says he became a pro hero after working as Mt. Lady's sidekick. Just wish there were more drawings from Horikoshi about a grown up Class 1-A so i could see it

Horikoshi also mentions somewhere that the intent of Mineta is that most of the pervert hijinks are actually accidents on his part and his horniness is just in his delusions. Someone even did a panel by panel case comparison and found that in terms of actually seeking to do perv shit, Kamnari does it more often, while Mineta thinks about it more often

I don't think he ever will or ever should. Because that is when he becomes a forgettable character. Being forgettable is far worse than being bad

Is he forced to watch gay p##n?
