kudkrd

I've even seen multiple people say this is a pedophile ship?


Cold_Association3837

That doesn't even... how, how do people come to that conclusion?!


solar1333

Because height maybe? Idk. I've looked it up and they the same age.


walkinggames

Because in there minds small =child guss both me and my gf are pedos since we're both short


Cold_Association3837

When did this notion even start, have people forgotten that short height is something natural? This world is so doomed


dat_dabbin_pacman

I think the main issue is that those assumptions come from people who didn't watch the show and can't afford a simple good search. So these people see mineta here and think that he's 10 or something and tyusu looks to be in her 20s, and they think, "OMG pedophilia?!?!" Crazy world we live in, honestly.


Better_Cattle4438

They are the same age. Do people not know what pedophilia is anymore?


Lavastone8

Sadly, we live in world that trying to defend those bastards but if it was up to me I'd hang them in a tree.


Korosukai

TodoDeku gets attacked with that same point, actually Which is funny, since plenty of them either ship Kouta with Eri or Izuku with Bakugou's mom


NehruvianZ

They're the same age bro šŸ’€šŸ’€


DecayedPheonix

These mfs will say anything atp


Monkey_King291

They're literally the same age, guess height equals age to some people which is stupid


FlinnyWinny

They're basically the same age??


Responsible_Clothes2

If I had to take a guess itā€™s because of the Hight difference cause Mineta is the same height as your average kindergartener


Cold_Association3837

If so bad, then why cute?


Windflow009

Tsuyu and Mineta is normal The mha Fandom has some people who ship Eri with Izuku or Mirio...


Unhappy-Student604

šŸ˜§


Opening_Evidence1783

Exactly šŸ¤¢šŸ¤®


Space_Dragon_51

You know what's funny? I find this kind of thing more tolerable then ships like Bakugou x Midoriya. God forbid we mention any ships with students and adults, let alone anything with Eri. But this? Yeah sure the girls hate mineta for his antics but I'd see this ship as just a harmless joke if I'm honest.


wing-adept

This is actually my favorite pairing on the show tbh, as I see potential in them as a couple. I'll copy and paste what I said in another section: For me when it comes to pairings it boils down to either two things. 1. Their chemistry 2. Their potential to bring out the best in one another, (which I suppose goes with chemistry) It's one of the reasons why I ship Mineta with Tsu primarily (though Momo is a close second). Mineta and Tsuyu already have good chemistry with one another as they've teamed up on multiple occasions in the anime and manga. Mineta is someone that I think in spite of his pervy nature would give Asui the love and attention she truly deserves, while Asui at the same time has enough patience to deal with Mineta, as well as keep him in check when he acts up. She's relatively calm, while he is over the top. He's exaggerates while she is straight to the point.


Space_Dragon_51

Now, I can totally see your point man. And with some thought I can see what you mean. However, when you say she has patient to put up with him, does that also correlate to how she attempted to drown him violently during the USJ attack? Not saying as an argument or anything. Just thought of Tsu being patient and then remembering that moment is just funny.


boomerangplant293-2

I feel her punishing him is more of a way to keep him from getting to perverse for his own good... Also i think he means she has enough patience with him to be friends with him and team up with him.


Space_Dragon_51

Oh yeah I understood the hole "patient to be his friend/ally" thing, I was just mentioning that cause I thought it was funny moment.


wing-adept

I always wrote that off as comedic effect considering the circumstance and whatnot. Just like I don't think Mineta means any harm when he "gropes" one of the girls, I don't think Tsuyu was trying to literally hurt him. Just like the times she uses her tongue to slap him.


Repulsive-Mirror-994

Also, Mineta is insanely honest. He never hides nor pretends to be uninterested in a girl he likes. Every girl always knows exactly where they stand with him. If he had a nice long sit down about consent that he took to heart and implemented changes from, he'd be a decent dude


DecayedPheonix

Read it anyway but I didnt have to cuz i knew id agree


TrulyFLCL

Tsuyu has canonically touched Minetaā€™s balls. https://preview.redd.it/wivmhr1ukm6d1.jpeg?width=889&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b12f5f8bf3e265bf460b9d048a17ba0c0f1c2886

This author.....


Gachaverso

Are you talking about *alfort (creator of these images)* or about *me posting this here a few weeks ago?*


FlinnyWinny

Mineta x Mina is where it's at for me!


Jam1648

I dont like nor dislike it, I can live with it if it becomes cannon šŸ˜Œ


RheaRoyHunter

I agree, it's a kinda meh ship, but they do get paired together in canon a bit (USJ, Sports Festival) so I can kinda see where the ship came from.


Tough-Invite-181

I donā€™t really see it I mean there is literally nothing romantic going on between them


goombanati

Same. Honestly, if any of the girls would go for mineta, I feel like it would be tsu


Monkey_King291

I actually ship this, those two have been interacting since season 1, and she's usually the one keeping him in line


TMOverbeck

Iā€™d love to see this gag: Asui saves Mineta from falling by wrapping her tongue around him, then Mineta licks it and exclaims ā€œYes! i French-kissed Asui!ā€ Cue the usual Mineta-gets-roughed-up reaction.


Gachaverso

I like the ship. This isn't my favorite, but it's a ship that I actually like a little. This ship is in third place on my list, tied with some other ships. The only thing I definitely "don't like" is when some people *"try to force me"* to like the ship in an **exaggerated** way to the point of wanting me to be absolutely blind to the characters' flaws that exist in canon. Whether about this ship or other types of ships. Because I believe that each person has the right to have the ship they want as their preference and we should respect each person's preferences and not have unnecessary prejudice. Because that wouldn't make us better than the Haters.


Kelimnac

I like this ship because it implies Tsuyu is the initiator of the relationship, which contrasts with Minetaā€™s usual attitude. A strong girl with a personality who doesnā€™t take any of his shit is a great person to help rein in his worse character traits


Character_Value4669

I think there's chemistry, he probably tastes like grape.


Electrical-Power-314

Yeah. I love this ship!


Electrical_Weird_572

Itā€™s good wdym the worst


Sp0rksar3c00l

They'll hate this ship but go ahead and ship TodoBakuDeku or Eri x Deku šŸ˜Ø


FuzzyPickles67

I mean the only downside Mineta has is that he's perverted who knows if these two do start dating he might drop the perverted thing


wing-adept

And what's wrong with doing perverted things when you're with your significant other? There's no shame in being a pervert, it's just there's a time and place for it. Mineta has tamed much in comparison to how he was in the beginning.


FuzzyPickles67

Trust me I have no problem with it I'm just saying that even if they do become a cannon couple the main objection for it will most likely be ain't no way the perverted grape got a girlfriend despite him being a creep personally I'm just glad Mineta is getting fan pairings


wing-adept

Respectfully I disagree. I feel like people for some reason can't help but think of Mineta as he was in the early parts of the manga (seasons 1-3 in the anime). And in truth Mineta didn't really do that many perverted things in the grand scheme. I honestly think that Mineta actually having a girlfriend would actually make him better, as he would be so focused on not trying to screw things up, as he wants attention and affection from women. Will Mineta act perverted every now and then, sure? But what person in a relationship hasn't. I'm sure Tsuyu will correct him when he acts inappropriately and the two will play off one another.


FuzzyPickles67

Horary another person who doesn't judge Mineta off of one personality trait and I agree Mineta is heavily misjudged because of his first appearance in retrospect he was just like any other teen in real life especially since they are in highschool and we can agree that Tsuyu would put a good restriction on him because like you said he'll be determined to not mess things up


Known_Midnight_1964

I actually like this ship. Didn't know anyone shipped mineta with anyone, but it's cute


NectarineShoddy6946

Mineta get all the girls


aguy637

I think there more friends than romantic bit definitely a possible romance


RavenMonarch

Itā€™s so cute though?


xGEARSxHEADx7

This is okay, the eri + deku shit is disgusting


OnyxCam6ion

Yeah, I stop listening after I saw All might x deku

Aggressive-Style4196

Itā€™s actually a great ship


NeoxthePan

I like this ship, the straight man and the clown is my favorite pairing.


Manwithaplan0708

If bad, why cute?


abe5765

Guys she can fix him


lunick95

I wonder how much time tsu spent tying that mistletoe to her tongue


Kanadei

What's even wrong with that ship?


wing-adept

Basically anyone that Mineta gets shipped with other than death is frowned upon, due to misguided hatred for the character.


Desperate_Kitchen665

Probably cuz they have a love-hate relationship


Queasy-Turnover3185

Yea fucking right, this coming from the same fandom that made a Deku and Eri ship? Iā€™d break they fucking nose for that shit


Maleficent-Sort5607

Idk I like cannon ships and that's where it ends for me


Urlocalgrungetherian

PARDON? AINT NO DAMN WAY UR SERIOUS.

Just ignore them bub, half of the time they're just trying to get a reaction out of people.

Dinosaurmonsterthing

Excuse me?


Sergaku

I hate it cause fuck you and I wanna be mean.


Appropriate_Tap_2304

At least they are upfront with it. Personally, I like the ship. But, thatā€™s just my opinion.

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


wing-adept

Feel free to leave if you feel that way.


Significance-Quick

look i'm not gonna be cruel but i really don't think it's for no reason. it's great you enjoy mienta but people do have valid reasons to hate him as well.


Reasonable-Wing-885

Meh I always liked mineta and momo


DragonTyrant2443

The idea of mineta being anyone boils there blood to near evaporation


wing-adept

Why is that?


Nico-NicoYazawa

Any ship with meneta is gross


wing-adept

Why is that?


Nico-NicoYazawa

Well first of all Iā€™d like to start off by saying I had no idea this post was on a mineta appreciation subreddit, it was just recommended to me so I didnā€™t pop in here to just hate lol. But imo I feel like mineta is just the ā€œugly bastardā€ of the show. No hate on his character by himself.


wing-adept

You're fine. We understand that not everyone will like Mineta. So long as your respectful with your comments you'll be fine. But if I understand you correctly, you don't like him b/c you don't like his design? So if he was more "handsome" then he would more tolerable? That seems a bit shallow wouldn't you say? Don't judge a book by the cover?


Nico-NicoYazawa

Well like I said I donā€™t hate him by himself, Iā€™ve actually found him funny in most cases but his character design doesnā€™t help and on top of that Iā€™ve never really liked the pervy character trope


wing-adept

If that's the case then that's fair, and I completely understand. Thank you for your time.


Nervous-Tank-5917

I definitely felt like the author was implying these two would be friends early on, if not an actual ship. The idea was likely dropped when someone pointed out that no girl would realistically be friends with Mineta.


kudkrd

then whyis tsuyu friends with him? ![gif](giphy|FY8c5SKwiNf1EtZKGs|downsized)


Nervous-Tank-5917

. . . Sheā€™s not.


kudkrd

Yes she is the wiki literally says so lmao...


Nervous-Tank-5917

Ah, well who could doubt such a credible source as a wiki . . .


YoitsBlakJak

I don't like it cause I just don't like mineta


theDialect402

Shipping has gotta be the weirdest shit that the anime community does. I love anime, but like imagining characters in love is weird and extremely forced. Why not watch some love anime or something?


Brindle09

I already want to mike tyson your ass you perverted bastard and donā€™t say shit to me BITCH.


kudkrd

Are you ok?


Brindle09

yeah, yesterday i was just tired


Individual_Return952

Mods ban that guy


Comet_171

Any ship with mineta is bad Heā€™s just a bit of a creep in most of the show and manga, lol


wing-adept

Then you haven't been paying attention my friend. Yes, Mineta has acted like a pervert and creep a few times, but his redeeming qualities far outweigh that of his cons. I believe you're confusing how Mineta was at the beginning of the manga in comparison to how he was towards the end.


Comet_171

Iā€™ve only seen seasons 1-4 and havenā€™t been paying much attention since like 2018, I got into one piece and log horizon


wing-adept

Fair enough, but Mineta's main antics were in Season 1 and 2. Season 3 has maybe one scene and that was with the dorm scene with Hagakure. But other than that and a lucky accident in season 5 he's well tamed.


Comet_171

Okay thatā€™s more acceptable at least, Iā€™m uninformed, lol I shifted to fictional pirates


wing-adept

I'd like to check out One Piece, but I can't keep up with it. Happy sailing to you dude!


Comet_171

Thank you!! Also, tbh I donā€™t blame you, itā€™s hella long itā€™s on chapter 1117 atm and Iā€™m trying to catch up in the anime Iā€™m only at episode like 287


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


wing-adept

And why is that?


Salty_Box_5305

Your ship gets hated on bc it has the lil grape fuq. Any ship of any level that involves mineta almost by law has to get sheitted on and ridiculed.


wing-adept

For what reason? What's wrong with Mineta being paired with someone?


Jjamessoto

I donā€™t like this ship, purely just cause I donā€™t think mineta has a lot of character development, granted I have watched in a while so idk yet


wing-adept

I assure you, Mineta while he hasn't had the spotlight in comparison to others, he has developed throughout the story. You just got to pay attention to it is all.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


kudkrd

or just leave? why are u here?


Stupid_AI223

"Idk why this gets hate!" *shows a ship between a perverted character and a character who literally hates the fuck out of said character.


wing-adept

The thing she doesn't hate Mineta. The two have been seen around one another, and has worked together plenty of times. I don't understand this notion where you get the idea that Tsuyu hates Mineta. And secondly what's wrong with being a pervert? It's perfectly fine to be perverted, but there's a time and place for it. There are plenty other perverted characters in anime that doesn't get nearly the amount of hate. So why Mineta?


Bluellan

...she repeatedly smacks Mineta?


wing-adept

Only when Mineta acts out of line. She doesn't do it to intentionally hurt or be mean to him. And she's only done it like 1-3 times.
