I’m Calling Some BS

I’m calling some BS

80% of the population has a known quirk.

So, logically, 20% either are quirkless or have quirks that are hard to discover, right?

Clearly wrong, as far as literally everything the anime (not sure about the manga) has shown us.

If a whole 20% of the population were quirkless, Midoriya may have been the only member of his class without a quirk, but not his whole grade. There’s more than 80 students in a grade in any given city.

If a whole 20% of the population were quirkless, there would’ve been various interest and support groups. Mrs. Midoriya could have joined a “quirk parents of quirkless children group,” and Izuku would’ve had lots of friends, perhaps more than Bakugo.

People of similar sub cultures/disabilities/interests/minorities find each other!

In elementary school, I was the only kid who’d ever heard of my father’s religion. At the school, at least. Frequently, almost every week, I would go spend time with other kids in my age group that were being raised by parents of that religion. We were less than .05% of the local population, religion wise. I still had like 20 kids with in two years on either side of my age.

Midoriya would have more. I’d be willing to lay money on there being a kid born on the same day as him, maybe in the same hospital, who was quirkless and lived in a reasonable distance to hang out frequently, if this were a real situation.

20% of a population does not just completely isolate themselves. Especially not from others with similarities that make them the minority.

Or to put this another way, 80% of the population has a quirk. 1 in every 5 people would not.

And let’s not even get into people connecting over the internet.

This has been a plot hole rant, there may be more in the future, thanks for reading! (Feel free to add on, or, argue, I guess, if you can find a way to argue that doesn’t boil down to ‘dramatic back story’ or ‘plot convenience’)
