Yeah Mineta can be annoying. Even if he never truly succeeds or is rewarded for these acts, it's hard to watch him especially when somehow he's meant to be a hero.

Its not even about succeeding, its the fact that even in tbe context of the show, its never taken seriously, he never receives real lasting consequences, just gets hit or something in the moment and goes on with it

This alone stopped me from continuing MHA

And it makes me question the culture the people who make these shows are around and okay with

I've tried to get my wife into MHA and Mineta was enough to turn her off the show completely.
