How Kirishima Depicts Masculinity | My Hero Academia 

Yes

he says something like that i think. idk from where but i remember him saying that you dont have to be a man to be manly, that anyone can be.

Lol his comments to the Wild Wild Pussycats further proved this, so yeah.

He's called the girls manly several times

Wait really? In what scenes /gen

Yeah, I never expected that.

yeah. Definitely one of the greatest plot twists in anime

WHAT?

@@aliteralpotato873 Yeah, the red isn't real, it's dye. Kirishima's hair is naturally jet black, and it not spiky either, it hangs. You can see it in one of his flashbacks in season 4.

He's literally a fanboy hahahaha 👍

That's amazing

Kirishima sees you shoot your shot on Twitter and replies "hey man, thanks for letting me borrow the lambo last week!"

@@Hayseus712 yeah, haha (:

Him and testsutetsu are like that.

Omg, he is! 🤣

The fundamental difference between toxic and productive masculinity is that toxic masculinity doesn't ask why one should be strong and stoic, when the underlying reason why is because it's *for* someone else. Of course holding in your emotions and pain is damaging for you, but if it's for someone you care about and is in dire need, you'll happily bite the bullet.

sometimes for fluff comfort i look for izushima, it's just soft boys bein soft, it can even just be them bein bros, but i imagine them interacting is very sweet

A good balance, and really people cant be hard all the time, he is just ore open about it in a healthy way.

Because his quirk is used to harden something else...

Even stone must sometimes be soft. Stone that stays so hard will eventually be worn down, and break.

he is like a chocolate-filled cookie. he is crunchy on the outside but soft and sweet inside

... I actually had a similar thought when I helped someone out who was being assaulted. I wish I was lying because it sucked and I wish nobody had to experience that.

Oh…..

If I may provide some evidence for this, he refers to the pussy cats a manly. A group of mostly girls dressed as cats. Clearly, he doesn't tie manlyness to gender stereotypes or even maleness

@@DallasATrain7 Yes!! Thank you for the example.

I know other people have said this, but this take is actually canon, and I feel like people really do need to look at the original Japanese at some point for this. The word Kirishima says in the original manga for "manly" is おとこらしい, which you'd normally write as 男らしい (literally "man-like") but Horikoshi chooses to write it with a gender-neutral character instead: 漢らしい that just means "hero-like." If you read Horikoshi, the gender-neutrality of Kirishima's chivalry wouldn't be a surprise or a "hot take." It's a sub-text that's literally made text.

​@@pmy643it's season 4 (I'm sooo in time~)

You’re not saying he sees women as men, or that he sees men (male) as nothing more than a concept. You’re saying he has ideals that anyone from anywhere can aspire to, regardless of gender. I get you.

he's that one friend who picks you up when you are down and if you suck at something he'll come over and help you or cheer you on from the sidelines telling you you can do it as long as you try !

@Fletcher Cairns yes

Exactly the only reason why he wasn’t popular in his og school is cuz he lacked the confidence he has now

Wished he was with the top 3 of the popularity poll

I am like that but no one gives a damn in school and I have never really been popular sadly

this is so well written, i agree!

yea wish feminist also dont abuse others just bcoz thier woman. and think they can just get away from it

@@EnigmazGuide What are you on about? Are you talking about actual informed feminists or just misandrists....

@@cockroach1968 both. Also there non such thing as misinformed feminist

@@EnigmazGuide Informed feminists don't abuse anyone as I said before that's misandry. Have you even looked at an actual informed feminist. Perhaps talking to one or even looked at talking points before you came to conclusions. "abuse others just (because) (they're) women and think they can just get away from it". This would likely imply a crime, this just proves my point further actual feminist don't abuse people nor do they hold this ideology that they can get away with abuse if their a woman because they also call out abuse from certain women. Not to mention you typed feminism under dissecting Kirishima's positive masculinity which further proves your intentions.

“I must protect women because they are equal and worth my respect” That doesn't even make sense. If they are your equal they don't need your protection and trying to protect them is simply insulting.

@@MrNote-lz7lh Yes, your friends might not "need" to be protected, but you still try to, because you know, you like them. That's what I meant

@@sunstar8782 Who said anything about friends? I was talking about strangers.

@@MrNote-lz7lh it does make sense. he protects because he just cares about people, it doesnt come from a place of pity or thinking someone is inferior. it's just nice to look out for others

​@@isengarde9490that's such a stupid statement

@@bgos4727 Reality is often disappointing.

Or maybe it's the other way around. Women trying to paint masculinity as being "toxic", when that in and of itself would be "toxic". It's SEXIST to associate manly behavior with being toxic. That's just toxic femininity. Feeling shame isn't toxic. Feeling embarrassed isn't toxic. You're just a sexist projecting your sexism onto men because you're afraid to admit it yourself... So begone bigot

@@jimothyjohnothyjohnothyjim6111 I think you’re confused. I never said being ashamed or embarrassed is toxic?? I agree w you that it isn’t. And I don’t think kirishima, as manly as he acts, is “toxic” in any way. That’s literally the whole point. If you actually watched the video you might have a clue about the difference between aspects of stereotypical masculine behavior that are toxic (and why that is) and ways of expressing masculinity in a more positive way, like Kirishima. I’m a man so how am I sexist against men lmfao? Im just able to acknowledge certain behaviors like bottling up and not expressing emotion, or being overly aggressive, or seeing women as inferior or sex objects (behaviors many “masculine” men exhibit) are harmful. Self-proclaimed “masculine” men acting like that really taint the idea of what masculinity should be unfortunately. Good thing there’s a 17 minute video on ways to express masculinity in a positive way you can watch to educate yourself!

@@jimothyjohnothyjohnothyjim6111 I think you’re kinda misinterpreting what was said here. They said the traits of “toxic masculinity” not “masculinity being toxic”. While many others people confuse them (which is annoying and, as you said, sexist), they didn’t say the term embodied all of masculinity.

You GO GIRL, that's so MANLY!

You seem very knowledgeable about the biological aspects of masculinity, I'd like to learn more! If possible, could you link sources? It seems like it'd be a very interesting study.

@@Turquerina I've picked things up about human behavior from several different sources but it's been a while since I've taken any classes for it and I simply don't remember most of the sources anymore. If you're interested in learning though, human behavior is determined primarily by three factors: the endocrine system, aka the hormonal system, the neurological system, and genetics. Endocrinology is a great place to start if you want to learn how behaviors develop, and I'm sure there are online resources. Neurology can be a scary topic to address and for all intents and purposes may not even be worth your time. Genetics can also be scary but it's not as complex as neurology in my opinion and so it wouldn't hurt to do a little research into behavioral genetics. A great source that I've stumbled upon recently is actually Stanford University's human behavioral biology course which they've made available on RU-vid here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NNnIGh9g6fA.html . It's pretty long but it's very interesting. Sorry if this doesn't really answer your question that well.

@@mr1880 Thanks for the help! Also, no need to be sorry, I think you provided a lot of great sources. It's often enlightening to learn about how certain biological make-up and other factors that informs human behavior. I'll take a look at that link now, thanks again!

Toxic masculinity merely tries to imitate real masculinity. Being strong, being honorable, it’s about being powerful but holding respect and compassion, and using that power for more than yourself. Toxic masculinity merely wants power. It is unchecked, unbalanced, irresponsible and doesn’t understand true what makes genuine values. People confuse the lust for power as masculinity. Masculinity is power through self-control and honor.

I'm a big history buff and the top 2 era's of socialism were the 1920's and the late 40's/early 50's. These were right after the world wars and of course nobody would dispute that the soldiers who fought in them were some of the manliest men of the modern age. If they faced a hail of bullets they are not going to let some fat overpaid CEO take advantage of them. They fought for their country and watched many of their friends die so they are going to fight to give their wife and kids a happy and comfortable life. They want a safe and well paying job to provide for them. Also since they have already proven their masculinity beyond any doubt they won't have a problem showing compassion to others, likely other veterans who they can relate to. Since they watched their friends die they realize other people will be hurt without their efforts and they learned to rely on others. In 1951 over 80% of all American workers were part of Unions. They believed that the risk of being fired was worth it and they were not going to let the companies bring them down again. Wages had risen considerably during the war and the unions didn't allow them to go back down. Many of these men also didn't really believe in the idea of self-improvement that much, rather they believed very strong in the idea of group improvement. Everyone needs to watch out for everyone else to keep them on their game and keep them sharp. This was viewed more in a friendly way than a hostile way, if someone was floundering you should help them toughen up and guide them. What mattered was the group and so defiancies in members of that group meant this also reflected on yourself. What mattered wasn't getting on top, it was the success of the group that you were a part of so putting them down was seen as counterproductive. I bring this up cause many say being part of unions and relying on others is 'sissy'. However the most manly men of the 20th century seem to prove the exact opposite. That once a man has let go of his ego and conquered his fear he will ban together with others to stand up for their rights. That he will no longer allow those with more money than moral integrity be the boss of him. They also strongly believed that men should look out for each other's interests no matter what. Of course this also had some downsides. Many men became quite rough with their wives due to this extreme confidence and defiant attitude. Also the very strong sense of community meant there was xenophobia towards anyone who didn't fit in that community, mainly targeted towards blacks. But also everything else that didn't fit that idealist vision that the group had.

@@slevinchannel7589 What? lol Did you comment on the wrong video?

@@slevinchannel7589 what do you mean by that?

@@slevinchannel7589 ?

I agree with all of this

Why is this so relatable? xd I love it, so true, it’s fact. Best thing is, if you think about Kirishima waiting for someone to finish tying up their shoelaces it’s specially endearing because of the fact he wears crocs.

i’m not trying to boast cause this actually really hurt and i had to go to the nurse but once in PE we were playing football and my friend that plays netball has staved her and and she needed to tie her laces so i crouched down and started to tie em and then like 2 minutes later someone did a really off-balanced kick and i got whacked in the back of the head :,)

This just made me realize I don’t have a kirishima, but everyone in my “friend group” does, I put quotes around that because I’m kinda breaking away from them a bit, I’m sitting with new people at lunch and I’ve stopped texting in the gc. If I had to tie my shoes everyone would keep walking. But if one of them did someone would stop. I’m always the friend that has to walk two steps behind because the hallway isn’t big enough, or the sidewalk isn’t big enough so I’m in the grass. I’m sorry for ranting.

@@asher3575 Don't say sorry, you need a place to rant! You have definitely made the right choice in sitting with new people at lunch - you deserve friends who are like Kirishima (who are willing to wait for you and just being supportive in general), not those who quite frankly don't seem to care. I hope you settle in with the other people and remember: don't lose sight of your worth!! :)

@@credidimuscaritati thanks so much! I think I made the right choice although there is one girl that only talked too me so she’s kinda not part of the group, and I feel like she’s upset about it, I have a class with her and I talk with her there but I can’t tell if she’s upset

you manifested this video into existence

Unrelated but I adore your pfp

I literally just saw you what the-

@@CurmudgeonMedia if you don't mind me asking. In the video you brought up stoicism and phrased it in a bad light a bit. If you don't mind me asking what are your opinions on stoicism? Because I myself don't display my emotions all to much. In instances where it's "appropriate" to do so. I don't cry, not that I hold myself back from doing so. I just can't. And has lead to people calling me toxic or thinking am trying to appear tuff. I don't know if i need help or just this is simply how I conduct myself.

@@bonda_racing3579 I mean, as long as you don't feel like you have to hold something back or like you can't express what you feel there should be no problem. It's just that the narrative towards guys tends to be that they have to be the strong ones that can't cry or the attractive ones that others are interested in, not the other way around etc. This can lead to men growing up being unable to express sadness, happiness or anger properly, at all or feel guilty about it but I guess as long as you don't feel you're suffering, you should be ok. It sucks others don't understand this and sadly this not uncommon. Try to explain it to them although they don't believe you (which they might with best intent cause they might believe you're in denial). Only thing you can do about it then is selfevaluate or persist.

I wouldn’t be friends w shigaraki but I still like him as a character. He also apologized usually mainstreams shows make the bully become a villain or never mention him again. It was a breath of fresh air when the author didn’t make this show a revenge fantasy. Wdym he barely developed he got impaled in deku’s place and apologized for the bullying. Im not mad I’m just curious how u can say he’s barely changed. Maybe his yelling but we haven’t seen him after his apology so let’s hold our horses before we say he hasn’t changed

@@adamdamiri4823 Toxic masculinity is a set of traits expected of men.

I completely agree, that blend of kindness and vulnerability are what make Kirishima so special. Thanks for commenting!

Agreed. If you’re not afraid at all, that might be recklessness not bravery.

This is why the line the Green Lantern ring says when it chooses someone was changed from "You are without fear" to "You have the ability to overcome great fear". It's also why Jessica Cruz is my favorite Green Lantern, the fear she has to overcome on a daily basis, even in just her mundane life, is far greater than most people, but she can still defeat it.

Agreed! Ppl taught me this!

Yeah when I first started I was like *"oh no"*

Same! When I first heard him say it, I thought it was only a matter of time before he harrassed or bullied someone just to show off, but her turned out to be one of the most kind, loving, supportive characters in the entire series, and all because he was inspired by a pink girl who liked to dance.

I would love to know who has this experience where the vast majority of men they've ever met believes that a hyperagressive superviolent jerk is the ideal masculinity. Who. Like, where are all the men (not teens, full mature men) that line up to say that bullying, anti-social, brutishness is what masculinity should be. I honestly haven't met many people like that. Maybe 2 at most. And they weren't successful in life. And they certainly weren't societal models.

@@XaadeTheBlade Althought certain types of lifestyles or environments make these types of people hard to find, it's common for most of these people to be celebrities or one-off strangers, usually from specific subcultures or upbringings. They are not necessarily men who constantly show off these tendencies, but most likely motivational pick-up artist type people (think instagram in 2018-19 with all those dumb hustle culture memes) , who, however discreetly (and somehow extremely confidently), advocate for a lifestyle that sounds good on paper or in a choreographed scenario, but is utterly ridiculous and self-centered when its implications are explored. These type of people are usually (but not always) the type that use "boys will be boys", "I dont need any friends, they make me weak", or "Mess with me and you'll regret it forever" type people, who use threats, shouts, brags, and insults as their main way of communicating. There are several reason why you might not see them as often as others, but they most definitely do and have existed for a very long time. Hope this made sense!

This is a horrible sign. Even the very idealised essence of something intrinsic to half the population has been demonised and made into a dirty word.

@@effingbread4812 id disagree, what I believe the OP is saying is that the traditional gender roles are mixing together to become an all in one category. Highlighting the best parts of traditional “femininity” and “masculinity” While everyone may not be the perfect person and wont be the perfect symbol of this “new masculinity” I think it would be a good goal to strive for. A general outline for how to improve oneself.

@@kagakudoragon Or rather than mixing both, it's simply something about himself. What we should learn from Kirishima is not at all the masculinity itself, but instead the meaning that he belies lies within it (following the guy's ideals, Uraraka is one the manliest people he knows).

Emotional intelligence is not inherently masculine or feminine. Masculinity and femininity as concepts are generally applied in the sense of expression, harkening a lot from traditional gender roles. Masculinity, even in the classical sense, is not saying that it's not okay to cry. It's saying that you need to be careful when you cry because you are expected to lead, to be the rock, to be able to be leaned on. It is not trying to say that you should seek to be hyper competitive, it is saying you need to win when it counts. It isn't saying you need to be aggressive, but that you do the right thing without hesitation and with conviction. Because in ye olden times, things were a fair amount more consequential than they are now. Femininity in many senses calls for a person to do the same things, just in a different way. It ultimately takes you to the same places, of leading, of being depended on, of winning, and of acting with conviction. It's mostly the way you arrive that's different, or the battles that you're faced with.
