honestly at this point it kinda irritates me alot that women still seem to refuse to believe that this is the case, like we keep telling them over and over that there is a huge risk involved in taking a womans hints as love rather than friendlyness if judged incorrectly and they still think we just dont get the hints ?

Being fair, that's the showrunners' fault for making it start with the scene everyone has already watched.

Toga is truly my favourite, I don't even wanna fix her.
Also valid on the intro skip, I thought I clicked the wrong episode too.

WARNING: Yap
You see, when it comes to men not getting hints, there’s a couple of things. What I’d like to point out is sensitivity vs. specificity. Sensitivity is the ability to tell that someone may be flirting. Specificity is being able to correctly determine when someone is just being friendly. The more sensitive a man’s radar is, the more likely he is to correctly identify flirting, but men set their sensitivity as low as possible while maximizing specificity because of the risk-reward for false positives vs. false negatives. A false positive is going to be a cringe memory at best, and potentially horrendously embarrassing and painful because of how society happens to treat men making unwanted approaches lately, especially when you’re not that attractive or confident. A false negative’s usual worst case scenario is things going on as usual, maybe missing out on a relationship. Plus, if the woman wants you enough they could just make it impossible to misconstrue anyway through direct communication like you did, very cool Alicia. Set direct communication as your bar and while you will make a lot of Type II errors, you can almost never make a Type I error. Ergo, life is easier when you can just be accused of missing obvious hints. Usually subconsciously, many men see the risk of raising sensitivity as far outweighing the reward. Be direct ladies, men aren’t just dense(ok fine we are worse than women at figuring it out but that’s even more reason to raise specificity), they’re protecting their feelings which do exist.
EDIT: Also, in this specific case, Rich is a BIG man, and if we’re being completely honest, that increases his incentive to minimize potential perceived creepiness. Probably not something he actively thinks about, just what he senses. That part is just a theory based on my own experience though, you can probably ask him about it someday. Doubt Alicia will read this long ass post though 🤨

A little misconseption, they don't have 5 minutes, it's just Monoma's usual limit and 5 minutes have already passed since he touched Kurogiri, so he can't use warp anymore. But as long as he's touching Eraser Head, he can continue to use Erasure

the start wasn't a recap it was explaining the plan and what each group of teams were tasked to do. It's not that important but it sucks that you skipped it

A few things:
Only the beginning was technically recap. The rest of what you skipped was an anime only breakdown of all 8 locations they sent heroes to, which sets up future plots and storyline lol. That was the whole point of repeating the meeting scene .
Two, izuku knows Ochako feels some empathy for toga and like with nagant, is trying to understand her. His natural inclination to save people was getting in the way of strategy. That's why froppy said deku wouldn't be able to ignore her. It's true. He saw her reaction like uraraka did. He also hated leaving uraraka behind, even tho he knew he needed to.
Froppy interrupted toga saying her and ura liking the same guy. It's absolutely something izuku doesn't know, and isn't the place for him to find out. It's a distraction. So that's what froppy meant.
Again, all of Toga's insanity is a typical response of someone with abandonment issues that has confused love with something it isn't. This is VERY important in her scenes the rest of this story. She believes love is being like someone, because her quirk lets her be like those she loves. This is why her quirk awakened when she copies those she loves. She was never showed genuine love in her entire life. So the only thing she knows is the fixation from her quirk. And she hates herself so much, love is being someone else. It's tragic. She's a victim who unfortunately has continued the cycle by hurting others . relatable, huh? Outside of the specific extant of the problem, she's obviously supposed to represent how mistreatment can warp people's emotions and minds. So I can't help but feel sad for her.

Not how I saw Ochako's response at all I saw here's more as "you need to understand to live like this there will be consequences from those who don't agree" Also I love Yanderes but Toga, for some reason I just hate her. I think maybe because she feels like a hypocrite.

Ngl even though toga is absolutely crazy, part of me can't help but feel kind of sorry for her. Deku's response wasn't bad though imo. He went about it in a way different from ochako. Rather than going "that's stupid" like uraraka basically did, he went "I understand, but that's simply not how I view love." But after all her rejection, toga viewed it as just another rejection

For copy, him and Aizawa are staying together touching so they can bypass his 5 minute limit. (They explain in one of the last two episodes in case you missed it)
