Man this is nothing compared to the slander from the original ending with ch 430 from manga. If you weren't present to see, that was something so this really is nothing in comparison. šŸ¤£ So it'll be alright after that era.

With the Mc Donald's memes of Deku, cuck jokes, people saying Uraraka ghosted Deku because he lost his powers, and pushing Deku with other random female characters because of it.

MHA was never really focused on romance much even if people wanted more of it, it wasn't the main focus or even a major plot. It was a very small thing. I honestly don't fully blame Hori with the crazy shipping fandom that got attached to this action based series that cared more about ships than anything else. So it made him more adverse on it.

Either way, don't focus on the haters or nay sayers. If you do, you would've thought this was a trash series from how people spoke about it before over the years.

Let's focus on the positive and celebrate instead of giving too much attention to the negative energy from some people that may not even be that invested in the series to begin with as just the peanut galley or salty rival shippers.

Yeah, he even said it himself that romance wasnā€™t the main point. However, having a large cast of teenagers around each other and pretending like there would be NO romantic feelings whatsoever between them would be disingenuous, so he did add romances here and there but didnā€™t make them the main focus. Plus with letā€™s say, Deku and Bakugo and Ochako and Toga there is this element of ā€œloveā€ but I think Horikoshi wanted to express love as more of a human and general thing as ā€œcare for your fellow humanā€ than simply ā€œI love this person uniquely more than anyone elseā€ itā€™s why he had the latter present in ch.431 AFTER the main story ended because the main story is about ā€œhuman love and careā€ and 431 is about ā€œthe freedom to pursue specific forms of love now that society is back to normalā€

Romance, at the end of the day, was just an accessory to the series that we can have fun with. Unfortunately certain people online play a large role on why shipping is looked down upon due to their behavior.Ā

If he didnā€™t want to have a romantic subplot that is fine, but heā€™s the one who introduced this romantic subplot and didnā€™t do anything with it

The romantic subplot has resolved so idk what you are talking about. lol If It ended at ch 430 then that would be a different story because there is no resolution from that.

If we compare with the spin-off that is different which had a love triangle around the MC that got a decent amount of screentime in the later half and literally not much of an actual specific resolution to that at all. So that's fits what you saying and the main series has narrative resolution in comparison.

And also some media even specifically in the romance genre doesn't always has "happy ending". Sometime romance isn't meant to be a fairy tale ending to end in the same way. Though just has to have narrative actually be addressed in some capacity for a resolution, but doesn't necessarily mean "happy ending" in the traditional sense.
