I think I've figured out why Bkdk antis are.. well.. antis.
They project onto Deku.
That's the best explanation I can think of. They see the relationship that Izuku and Katsuki had when they were 5 years old and when they were 13. They take it as a static relationship. (We don't know much about what's in between, you know.)
They see how Katsuki USED to treat Izuku– with no respect– and they relate it to their own situations. That's fine and all, identifying with a character is something everyone does and it's in no way bad.
I will not speak for everyone who relates to Izuku. And I do too, I have been treated badly by people who were supposed to be friends. However.
When they identify too much with a character– Izuku in this case– it leads to an almost possession of the character. They start to believe this character is meant to portray their specific struggles, even if they don't realize it. If Izuku doesn't react a certain way to Katsuki's antics or his clearly competitive actions, it, in short, pisses them off.
Suddenly ‘Horikoshi's writing is horrible’ and ‘Izuku has Stockholm Syndrome’ even though neither are true. Izuku is his own unique character with his own unique quirks, no pun intended. He doesn't owe anyone a specific reaction, he doesn't owe US a certain decision.
His situation is unique in that it is his own. As similar as our lives are to Izuku's, we cannot expect him to act how we would or how we think he should.
Say what you will about the Bakudeku/Katsudeku/Decchan ship, it won't go away and is far from being toxic. Don't prefer it? Who cares, that's fine. But claiming that a relationship is toxic, when it is not, is foolish and can unintentionally make you seem intolerant.
For some, it's hard to remember that when speaking to someone online, they're speaking to a real person. Real people who have real feelings and real struggles, real opinions. In the end, it's just an anime and it's just a manga, a work of fiction. Hurting others and wishing them pain won't change anything.
Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

You’ve got to understand that this was 2014. I’ve seen some younger lesbian, bi, and queer folks today going, “So what? They held hands. They didn’t even kiss.” Or people watching it for the first time, saying, “I don’t see what the big deal is. There wasn’t any build-up!” 

But the landscape of children’s TV was very different six years ago. Like, that moment when they looked into each other’s eyes in a beam of golden light was revolutionary. I was living in a house with other queer people and we ALL screamed and cried, just like this.

Korrasami paved the way for Steven Universe and She-Ra to do what they did in the following years. And, yes, those were leaps forward whereas this was a step. But I saw it on another post, and I’ll echo the sentiment: Korrasami walked so Catradora could sprint.

Same-sex marriage wasn’t legal in the US in 2014.

Not until 2016. Before that, the marriage was only recognized in a few states.

It might not seem like much now, but HOLY FUCK this moment in the finale was huge in 2014.

The first norm-penetrating precedent rarely looks like some great achievement or change. It looks like a small violation of an established norm, radical only in how public it is. Sometimes you use tameness to buy the publicity needed to make progress.

Yo. I was born in 1988.

My canon queer couple?

WAS TRANSLATED INTO ENGLISH AS COUSINS.

Cloverway gave one of them an offscreen boyfriend and, any time an uncuttable kissy scene came up, they started calling each other “cuz.” Another queer couple from the same show suffered the fate of being heterocized by one of them literally being genderswapped.

(Guess who became the girl. Go on, guess. At least it’s not as bad as France, where they became … brothers.)

That was my mainstream queer rep.

Oh. Until this came out.

… . yeah.

I’m not even in Avatar fandom and when those first gifs popped up on my dash, I started crying. I was 24 years old and crying over a show I had never watched because a pair of women held hands.

You can’t possibly understand what it was like before that.

You don’t want to understand what it was like before that.

I don’t want you to understand what it was like before that.

But there’s a reason we reacted like this.

I pray you never have cause to learn it yourselves.

I do actually want y'all to know and understand what it was like before that because some of the hot takes coming out of younger community members make it staggeringly obvious you know nothing about our history.

Like, I don’t want you to experience it, but I really am going to need y'all to move into Formal Operational Cognitive Development and start considering that yours isn’t the only perspective and that things have changed drastically for queer people WITHIN MY LIFETIME and I am a relatively young queer who was born AFTER like ¾ of our population died of AIDS and we lost nearly an entire generation along with all their history.
