Honestly I don't think it's negativity so much as it is just the truth?? And it's completely warranted. I've never felt shittier about BNHA than I do right now. When season 5 ended I was looking forward to the rest of the anime, but now I never want to watch another episode. With season 6 coming out, a lot of people are looking forward to seeing Miruko animated but I just don't want to watch it. No matter what cool moments she gets, I'm still going to have to watch her get brutalized with the knowledge that it's only going to happen again later. I don't want to watch someone's beautifully animated fetish for hurting black women. Maybe they'll make it less gruesome for the screen, but it'll still mean nothing. She'll still accomplish nothing while getting beaten up in this degrading way.
And it's genuinely so miserable because what is there to look forward to? Mt. Lady getting put in a neck brace? Mina getting upstaged by Kirishima? Midnight dying (temporarily repressed that and had to edit it back in), Ryukyu accomplishing nothing but getting beaten up by Shigaraki? Miruko getting maimed? Then Lady Nagant getting blown to bits. Then Star getting disintegrated. Then Miruko getting maimed again?? What's the point, and what other female character is he going to do dirty next? It's genuinely so depressing to think about and it's so grim. Ochako and Mina still might get moments fighting Toga and Machia respectively, but after all this it's so hard to be optimistic about that.
I am expecting him to kill Miruko at this point, but even if he doesn't, or if Eri rewinds time and restores her limbs, the damage has been done. And if he does job her, I'm expecting it to be in some awful, dehumanizing way. It all makes me want to chew the furniture because, like you, I thought it was a really cool moment when she came back with her prosthetics and jumped into action. What a letdown.
otoh I've had this 'shonen for lesbians' webcomic idea kicking around in my head for awhile and I'm going to start it by the end of the year if it kills me. And I stg, after this chapter, I'm going to put a buff bunny girl in there out of spite.
