I'm sorry guys, I don't Mineta is due for an arc of any kind, he just kind of is. He's that in the class. The class clown. If you didn't have one in your class when you went to school, you were probably him. The kids laugh at him behind his back. They wish he'd sharpen up and take things more seriously. The teachers dread going to class to see what class trouble he's going to cause this time and if they have to deal with another complaint from the parents of another of the students because they got some uncomfortable questions when they got home. He's the uncomfortable existence you just kind of put up with. "The author didn't need to write a character like that" indeed, but it'd be kind of unbelievable for there to be a perfect class with no flawed students, where everybody is a legit good and cool kid. Mineta fills a quota for verisimilitude, as it makes the rest of the class seem more cohesive and it puts their morality in a better light, it gives us a scale of sorts. Maybe he's a tad excessive. I don't really like him either. I don't think you're supposed to like him. And that's okay.

Mineta being third wall breakingly devastated when he plummeted in the character poll was pretty great.

I dunno why people bellyache about Mineta so much. He's literally the everyman/straightman of the entire class, even beyond characters like Sero/Ojiro. He (rightfully) freaks the gently caress out when a gaggle of murderers drops into their campus to kill them and says the 100% realest thing said in the whole arc when he points out they were JUST regular middle schoolers a week ago and you've got to be mentally ill to not be freaking out when a horde pops out of nowhere to murder you. He's the only one to correctly tell Midoriya that Pros aren't going to be interested in someone who comes off like a self-defeating psychopath and whose quirk explodes their limbs. His development in the semester finals is pretty good IMO. It's not insanely high-minded but realizing that the stuff that you DO makes you cool and a hero and wanting to be liked isn't bad. He's kinda like proto Booster Gold? The problem is we don't really get enough of that poo poo- it's like one scant moment of personal development and moments of being the only sane man in class and then creepy drooling over all the girls. I don't know about crawling over a loving wall, but pretty much any redblooded hetero teenaged dude I went to school with would've absolutely peeked through the hole in the locker room if it was pointed out even if they felt bad about it later. Kaminari is basically a more realistic portrayal of Mineta's worst trait- if you pay attention he attempts to mack on every girl he meets, and he apparently is partners with Mineta when it comes to oogling the girls they meet. Kaminari just does it like a normal human being instead of like the wolf from a Tex Avery cartoon.

people don't like mineta because he's a joke character and his joke is often bad. sometimes it's good, but more often it isn't

Terper posted:I'd rather have Grapes than Sugar Man and Anima. Those two characters have never had any real screen time or development at all. Class B has gotten more time than either of them, and even characters who aren't even in a hero class like Shinso and Mei have gotten more focus. They're barely even characters.

At least Anima had that one scene that showed him as this shy, quiet guy that is unsure of himself and his power. Sugar Man had literally nothing. He is just cardboard cutout with Sugar Muscle Empowerment quirk stapled on it.

I Love Annie May posted:The real problem with Mineta isn't that he is a "pervert", on the contrary he is one of the "straightest" males in the story, but rather that his very reasonable desire to connect with the opposite gender even on a sexual level gets neglected by others, whether they are other characters in the manga or its readers, and he's basically left on his own to figure out these pulsions and desires without any kind of guidance. And when Mineta inevitably does something that can't be ignored by others anymore, instead of being understood and educated in managing his sexuality, he's scolded by his peers and superiors, while readers take their turns blaming him of the sin of being interested in the opposite gender. Then, when both the readers and the characters are done blowing off steam, they continue pretending that Mineta doesn't exist until he does something that can't be ignored again and the cycle continues. hes a f*g loser

Mineta would be fine if his moments weren't half him doing things like sexually harassing and even outright feeling up the female students. Him being a perv is fine, him being a touchy-feely creep is gross and unnecessary, and anyone trying to get around that issue or writing arguments about his personality and whatnot or trying to compare someone hitting on girls to that is deliberately obfuscating the glaringly obvious problem people have with him and being deliberately disingenuous. People don't like seeing teenagers get groped. Who knew. Turns out there are ways of making a character like Mineta and with all the "positive" things people here have described about him without having him grab the breasts of a girl who's saving his life and existing mostly as a vehicle for creepy fanservice and stuff. He can have good moments without being a budding sexual predator.

I think it's more that the issue goes beyond this one character, and while everyone would rather it wasn't a trope we saw pop up in a number of the shows we watch, we also aren't going to let the bad outweigh the good of this series.

He is just cardboard cutout with Sugar Muscle Empowerment quirk stapled on it. He's good at cakes. Anyway I don't really mind Kouda and Satou because not every character needs focus or development, it's fine having a couple of background characters. Difference between them and Mineta is Mineta gets a fair amount of appearances and screentime which are sometimes funny and often just kinda lame. And the one time he got some real significant development with his battle against Midnight I thought it wasn't all that interesting.

I think of the comic so far as taking place from the perspectives of a few characters, and the rest are only developed when they share a scene with one of the POV characters. I'm wondering if, during the second year, Class A and class B will be mixed up

He side-handed Froppy's baps after she saved him (and immediately got dunked for it) and tried to sneak a peek at the girls in the hot spring. Also he's kinda dismissive of women and a huge, obvious horndog. Beyond that he's lazy and cowardly. Though his showing against Midnight during the heroes-are-villains test shows he does have a pretty good strategic sense, and he used fake-panicky behavior to good effect.
