Fans are calling for gay storylines to be added to My Hero Academia On 1st April 2020, YouTuber KANJIC, who is an anime fan and commentator, posted a video with the following heading: “Deku confirmed to be gay in My Hero Academia!” Don’t be misled by the video as KANJIC posted it as an April Fools prank. Per a video posted by KANJIC in early August 2020, fans are spamming the My Hero Academia’s creators to incorporate gay characters into the storyline.
“People flooded his social media with spam, so they can get the creator to make specific characters in gay relationships with each other,” KANJIC narrated in the video. KANJIC stated that he isn’t against having gay characters in My Hero Academia, but spamming the creators is a step too far.
