I think I'm just interpreting "westaboo" differently here, since "weeaboo" sort of implies someone who has an unusual interest/knowledge in obscure poo poo from a particular culture's media (and usually also primarily consumes that media). Things like Spiderman or X-Men are major international franchises, and it's not that weird to be a big fan of them as a non-American.

It seems kinda comparable to foreigners being super into DBZ or One Piece in the modern era; it doesn't really imply a huge interest in "Japanese media/comics" so much as "being a big fan of these specific major media franchises."

(I realize this is kind of nitpicky)

idk i dont know any anime fans with a six foot tall pile of action figures almost blocking the front door

It's just extremely robust classic fantasy shonen, and a good intro to an immensely influential franchise. Definitely worth a shot if you want to see one of the actual good old stories that all those crappy cookie-cutter isekai are riffing on.

that reminds me that, when the shithead kid in MHA was supposed to have died (though I bet that in manga fashion, he got better), there was a trend to show his 11/10 milf mom getting banged so she could quickly get another child who would be less of a little poo poo

From what I remember:
She touches a thing, says its name and states the rule she wants to set, and she can only keep two rules active at a time. So she needs to be able to touch it, she needs to know its name and she can't do everything at once. Within those limitations, she can still do some really wacky poo poo like hitting someone with the entire atmosphere. All that, while visually impressive, ultimately achieves jack poo poo and her presence in the story was pretty pointless.

oh and since I got caught up on MHA I went back and fired up Bungo Stray Dogs, I feel like this show makes way more sense.

It's bizarre because he clearly acknowledges them, he doesnt shy away from it. The US's top hero Star and Stripe's power is literally a dictatorially control on reality vs. the opponents' perceptions. Like come on

And she also appears to be a huge all might weeb.

Pretty sure thats why people with quirks getting One for All die at 30 years old too, because readers probably kept pointing out midoriya was the wrong choice when mirio was right there

Tbf the story itself does a decent job of answering the "why Midoriya" question in recent chapters.

Mirio is definitively the most heroic hero in MHA. Deku's fine and all but even without powers Mirio's still fantastic

tbh I was a little disappointed that he got his powers back as quickly as he did, but hey, I cheered as much as anyone when he showed back up in that fight.

e: the show needs more Eri. I was hoping she would be a much more regular part of things going forward but thus far I have been disappointed.

If you buy a milf hentai avatar no one will know what level of irony you’re operating on and just look the other way
