There's a certain issue I've seen related to how we treat the profiles of superheroes, supervillains, super...anti-heroes? Whatever, you get the point. Some months ago, a few MHA supporters and fans were confused and upset that instead of using the hero identities of the characters, their actual names were used instead and their fake identities were put in a bracket alongside their actual name. This all seems fine 'n' dandy, so what's the issue? Well, why did we only apply this change to MHA characters? Why aren't we calling Ladybug "Marinette Dupain-Cheng (Ladybug)" or Superman "Clark Kent (Superman) [Post-Crisis]?" I think you're beginning to see the issue here.
"What do you propose then, Shmoopy? Yah big fukken' stinky nerd??"
I am glad that you asked, imaginary forum user who reminded me that I have to use the cursed and stupid art of Reddit spacing to make my posts coherent. I've a few suggestions that I want the community to vote on, because frankly I have no clue what to do about the profiles as well.
1.) Revert the name change - Short, sweet, and simple. Go back to the good 'ol days and just use the hero identities of the MHA characters, making this entire CRT pointless.
2.) Apply these changes to all the other superheroes and supervillains - Also pretty simple, just change the name of Spiderman's profile to "Peter Parker (Spider-Man)", but then we'd have a massive issue as seen with Superman in the above example.
3.) Redirect EVERYTHING -Let's say we reverted the changes made on the MHA profiles, but someone still decided to type in Toshinori Yagi to search for All Might's profile. Well, I've a simple, yet likely complex solution - The wiki will show them All Might's page if they did so. So, typing in Bruce Wayne shows you the list of all Batman profiles who have that name on the profile, typing in Mark Grayson would show you all the versions of Invincible, and so on and so forth.
4.) Use the most well-known name - (Credits to Glass so you can yell at a janitor instead of me for this) Since everyone knows All Might as... well... All Might, then that should be the name of his profile. Short and simple, but this one obviously has a few flaws as well. If we're using the hero identity for Toshinori, then why aren't we using the hero identity for, say, Bakugo or someone else who has a hero identity literally nobody can remember and only know them by name.
I dunno how to end this post, so, like- your mom lame lmao skill issue
