Greetings everyone (edit: except Silco).

I come to ask for your shared wisdom following a disagreement I have had with one of our peers, Bakugō Katsuki. I am of the opinion that his unusual vocabulary, his aggressive predisposition and his unstable temper are a detriment to his social life. I have personally experienced difficulties communicating properly with him, seeing how all conversations quickly devolve into a purposeless rain of insulting words before any progress can be made.

When I said as much, he suggested the problem comes from myself. He accuses me of taking his words too literally and of behaving in too much of a maternal manner towards him. I admit it is a possibility we simply don't see eye to eye - however, I doubt his temper, poor choice of words and aggressiveness are limited to our interactions.

This is why I am asking for your wisdom and opinion, especially those familiar with Bakugo to - hopefully - help him see reason.

Thank you kindly!

While I totally agree putting this out to the entire network was a bad idea, try to remember she did this because of concern.

[blastedass]

What the hell was she concerned about? I haven't failed in any of my jobs in this shithole!

[Well, he still feels like Seoul, Vegas, and Romania were failures, but they can't fairly be put on his shoulders personally, even if his regrets don't agree.]

[the_fourteenth]

I don't think she means in regards to missions. I think she means socially.

I am hardly one to comment on such a thing, though.

[blastedass]

I don't need someone trying to cram me into their idea of what's "nice" or some other bullshit.

Denim Head did that already and it sucked!

[the_fourteenth]

I can agree that while she had good intentions, this was a poor method of going about this. And no, not everyone needs to fit the molds others expect of them.

But, you do know how you come off sometimes.

[After they first arrived, how many times did these two almost get into a fist fight?]

[blastedass]

What part of this is good intention?

[Forced conformance isn't "good" at all! Says the guy who holds everyone to his own high standards and roars at them when they don't measure up.]

So? If someone doesn't like it, they can fuck off. I don't need to waste my time on cowards.

[Even though he will, if necessary.]

She was asking for ways to better communicate to you.

Though she probably should have just asked people directly for advice, instead of... this.

[blastedass]

Sounded like she was bitching about me not lining up with her preferences.

[You don't want to communicate with someone when you ask others to help make the someone "see reason" - i.e. agree with you.]

Or she should grow up and learn not to insult people.

[the_fourteenth]

Ereshkigal-san doesn't strike me as someone who'd think that way of people.

But, at this point, I think she's well learned her lesson about taking personal matters to the network.

[blastedass]

Then she hasn't yelled at you yet for how you act or talk.

Yeah, yeah. At least she's not kicking people's doors down and shooting at them.

[Unlike two OTHER outsiders who vented their frustrations at each other in public.]

[the_fourteenth]

Might have something to do with how I'm told I'm very quite.

Isn't that the truth. No one's quarters have been vaporized, so I'll consider it progress.

[blastedass]

Tch. Things she doesn't have an issue with.

The dragon did enough of that on its own.
