Content: It does get a bit old reading the same complaints about the pervert character in any chapter he's prominent in. At least this time around it's a teenaged boy and not a lecherous old man we're supposed to laugh at.

does All Might virtue signal? I don't like that phrase because it makes it sound like virtue is bad.

The great thing about it is that people who use it unironically are doing so in order to call attention to their own virtuous non-political-correctness. It's the ultimate in hypocritical insults; it's impossible to use it without doing it.

Yeah, it's basically saying that since nobody can truly care about things, any attempt to raise an objection to something on moral grounds (or anything tangentially related to moral grounds) is just a way to signal to everyone else that you're a good person.

Like, there may hypothetically be the occasional case where that sort of thing does happen, but the phrase and its usage is generally indicative of a really warped worldview.

the perversion is funnier than the lechery, is the thing. mineta staring at somebody's boobs isn't funny, but mineta's special signature move being oversize anal beads is hilarious

So the reasonable thing is to create a word filter and prevent people from defaming with you with words.

Constantly objecting to the actions of fictional characters in an SA thread literally has no point. No one involved with the manga will see it and it constantly drags down the discussion into people's personal issues.

To me it hardly seems like hypothetical thing. Televangelists were rightly criticized for it in their heyday and with the advent internet giving everyone a public platform, we now are inundated with amateurs of the craft. Hell, it's something Jesus admonished if I remember right, so it's been around for a while.

Hilary Clinton's line about "super predators" has been called virtue signaling. Are people wrong to criticize it?

If Mineta bothers you so much, don't read the manga or complain to the mangaka. Complaining here does no good.

I don't remember there being a masked tape man. So many characters to keep track of.

Yeah, fuckin stick it to those people who are posting here about Mineta in order to convince the mangaka to get rid of the character. That's definitely why they're doing it. And by doing it on a public forum that more people than just Horikoshi can see, they get to virtue signal at the same time. Mineta complainers probably think they're so slick, but you have their drat number

I don't think much about Mineta since he kinda just reminds us he exists off and on

E: now that I think about it, wasn't the last time he got actual character development back during the semester finals?

I really hope that the two outs gets you a win rules means that the next few chapters are just Deku leading a revolving door squad of Class A classmates to victory. Seems pretty obvious he's going to be the last person to pass after all.

No, it's a tragic thing to have never seen an rear end that makes you say drat! Just a sight so beautiful that you immediately give money to a charity for the blind out of guilt. To have never seen something like that? Why I'm not sure I can even ruefully smile at that, let alone laugh. Gonna have to listen to Rump Shaker a few times and follow it up with some Baby Got Back to feel better.

Please do not revisit Mineta unless you have something to add beyond complaining about him or complaining about complaining about him.
