  &quot;So uh.. Eraserhead, right? What did you say your power was again?&quot;<br>&quot;The male gaze.&quot;

  Momo&apos;s power is honestly funnier if her costume opened from the back instead of the chest. Like she just randomly reaches behind her back and pulls out something that was definitely not behind her back

  One thing I hate is how the girls react to Mineta harassing them and touching them. They just get embarrassed and annoyed and then brush it off. <br>They don&apos;t think about it afterwards, they don&apos;t feel uncomfortable going to class, they don&apos;t have nightmares or flashbacks, they just forget about it.<br>That happens in other shows as well, not just MHA and it is so harmful for male viewers and invalidating for female viewers.

  There is absolutely nothing that can be said to justify Mineta sexualizing a SIX YEAR OLD

  It shows so early on into the show that its such a standard for women superheros to wear completely skin tight suits, ex. Ururaka being surprized when getting her suit, and yet they don&apos;t delve into the sexism in the world as an issue and instead exploit it for the male gaze?!

  Mineta is just sexual harassment personified. The sad part is that there are probably tons of creepy guys who treat him like a self-insert.

  Another thing is that we actually get a moment at the start of the series where the female costumes are pointed out, when Uraraka mentions that the costume makers made hers too tight and gave her heels for literally no reason. And then it&apos;s just brushed off like it didn&apos;t happen, none of the girls change their costumes and the fan-service and objectification continues.

  The fact that Mineta is a self-insert really wraps everything all up together.

  Midnight is a bad execution of what Bayonetta does so well. Bayonetta&apos;s promiscuousness and sexiness is portrayed as badass and self-serving, and Midnight is just portrayed as sexy and her reasons are completely arbitrary.

  It&apos;s kinda sad how Momo is treated like a store in the final battle. What a wasted character, she could be literally a walking arsenal.

  The most annoying thing is that Mirio has this whole smart costume made from his own hair so he doesn&apos;t end up naked but both Toga AND Momo both end up naked in basically every fight

  Honestly, the fact that Shonen is aimed at young boys makes it even more important to present well rounded Women characters. Young boys are bombarded with poor portrayals of women and every chance to fight that is valuable.
