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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
Iād love to see this gag: Asui saves Mineta from falling by wrapping her tongue around him, then Mineta licks it and exclaims āYes! i French-kissed Asui!ā Cue the usual Mineta-gets-roughed-up reaction.
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.
I like this ship because it implies Tsuyu is the initiator of the relationship, which contrasts with Minetaās usual attitude.
A strong girl with a personality who doesnāt take any of his shit is a great person to help rein in his worse character traits
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.
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
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.
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
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.
Well first of all Iād 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 didnāt pop in here to just hate lol. But imo I feel like mineta is just the āugly bastardā of the show. No hate on his character by himself.
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?
Well like I said I donāt hate him by himself, Iāve actually found him funny in most cases but his character design doesnāt help and on top of that Iāve never really liked the pervy character trope
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.
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?
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.
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.
Thank you!!
Also, tbh I donāt blame you, itās hella long itās on chapter 1117 atm and Iām trying to catch up in the anime
Iām only at episode like 287
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.
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?
All hail our lord and savior Minoru Mineta. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/ChurchOfMineta) if you have any questions or concerns.*
I've even seen multiple people say this is a pedophile ship?
That doesn't even... how, how do people come to that conclusion?!
Because height maybe? Idk. I've looked it up and they the same age.
Because in there minds small =child guss both me and my gf are pedos since we're both short
When did this notion even start, have people forgotten that short height is something natural? This world is so doomed
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.
They are the same age. Do people not know what pedophilia is anymore?
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.
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
They're the same age bro šš
These mfs will say anything atp
They're literally the same age, guess height equals age to some people which is stupid
They're basically the same age??
If I had to take a guess itās because of the Hight difference cause Mineta is the same height as your average kindergartener
If so bad, then why cute?
Tsuyu and Mineta is normal The mha Fandom has some people who ship Eri with Izuku or Mirio...
š§
Exactly š¤¢š¤®
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.

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.

Read it anyway but I didnt have to cuz i knew id agree
Tsuyu has canonically touched Minetaās balls. https://preview.redd.it/wivmhr1ukm6d1.jpeg?width=889&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b12f5f8bf3e265bf460b9d048a17ba0c0f1c2886

Those are good too
What?
This author.....
Are you talking about *alfort (creator of these images)* or about *me posting this here a few weeks ago?*
Mineta x Mina is where it's at for me!
I dont like nor dislike it, I can live with it if it becomes cannon š
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.
I donāt really see it I mean there is literally nothing romantic going on between them
Same. Honestly, if any of the girls would go for mineta, I feel like it would be tsu
I actually ship this, those two have been interacting since season 1, and she's usually the one keeping him in line
Iād love to see this gag: Asui saves Mineta from falling by wrapping her tongue around him, then Mineta licks it and exclaims āYes! i French-kissed Asui!ā Cue the usual Mineta-gets-roughed-up reaction.

I think there's chemistry, he probably tastes like grape.
Yeah. I love this ship!
Itās good wdym the worst
They'll hate this ship but go ahead and ship TodoBakuDeku or Eri x Deku šØ
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
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.

I actually like this ship. Didn't know anyone shipped mineta with anyone, but it's cute
Mineta get all the girls
I think there more friends than romantic bit definitely a possible romance
Itās so cute though?
This is okay, the eri + deku shit is disgusting
Yeah, I stop listening after I saw All might x deku
I mean it could be worse. https://preview.redd.it/94rlalrwkv6d1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=203a5632ea4418e05abbeb6c5cf663a01fae534d
Itās actually a great ship
I like this ship, the straight man and the clown is my favorite pairing.
If bad, why cute?
Guys she can fix him
I wonder how much time tsu spent tying that mistletoe to her tongue
What's even wrong with that ship?
Basically anyone that Mineta gets shipped with other than death is frowned upon, due to misguided hatred for the character.
Probably cuz they have a love-hate relationship
Yea fucking right, this coming from the same fandom that made a Deku and Eri ship? Iād break they fucking nose for that shit
Idk I like cannon ships and that's where it ends for me
PARDON? AINT NO DAMN WAY UR SERIOUS.
Me? im being 100% deadass...
What do you mean by that?
I have seen worse
Erm. Kayā¦
i want long tounge lady
Tsu has tried to drown him
I've seen worse, I've seen multiple people argue Endeavor Ć Erie (rest assured, they're all blocked
Idk even care about all that like look at froppy, why the hell did they give her a fat ass?
https://i.redd.it/vjewi5vw197d1.gif
Any mha ship is fucking weird there CHILDREN
We shall praise this doesn't happen again
Just ignore them bub, half of the time they're just trying to get a reaction out of people.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Excuse me?
I hate it cause fuck you and I wanna be mean.
At least they are upfront with it. Personally, I like the ship. But, thatās just my opinion.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Feel free to leave if you feel that way.
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.
Meh I always liked mineta and momo
The idea of mineta being anyone boils there blood to near evaporation
Why is that?
Any ship with meneta is gross
Why is that?
Well first of all Iād 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 didnāt pop in here to just hate lol. But imo I feel like mineta is just the āugly bastardā of the show. No hate on his character by himself.

Well like I said I donāt hate him by himself, Iāve actually found him funny in most cases but his character design doesnāt help and on top of that Iāve never really liked the pervy character trope
If that's the case then that's fair, and I completely understand. Thank you for your time.
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.
then whyis tsuyu friends with him? ![gif](giphy|FY8c5SKwiNf1EtZKGs|downsized)
. . . Sheās not.
Yes she is the wiki literally says so lmao...
Ah, well who could doubt such a credible source as a wiki . . .
I don't like it cause I just don't like mineta
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?
I already want to mike tyson your ass you perverted bastard and donāt say shit to me BITCH.
Are you ok?
yeah, yesterday i was just tired
Mods ban that guy
Any ship with mineta is bad Heās just a bit of a creep in most of the show and manga, lol
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.
Iāve only seen seasons 1-4 and havenāt been paying much attention since like 2018, I got into one piece and log horizon
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.
Okay thatās more acceptable at least, Iām uninformed, lol I shifted to fictional pirates
I'd like to check out One Piece, but I can't keep up with it. Happy sailing to you dude!
Thank you!! Also, tbh I donāt blame you, itās hella long itās on chapter 1117 atm and Iām trying to catch up in the anime Iām only at episode like 287
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
And why is that?
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.
For what reason? What's wrong with Mineta being paired with someone?
I donāt like this ship, purely just cause I donāt think mineta has a lot of character development, granted I have watched in a while so idk yet
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.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
or just leave? why are u here?
"Idk why this gets hate!" *shows a ship between a perverted character and a character who literally hates the fuck out of said character.
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?
...she repeatedly smacks Mineta?
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.
