I think what people think holds the ground is the fact that the author and artist draws characters distinctively from one another, when two characters look very similar in drawn style like Midoriya and his mother, it generally has some significance, add to the fact that he has the SAME shade of blue eyes as both Shoto's left eye and Enji's eyes, he also holds his arm when using his quirk almost the exact same way as Shoto does when fighting, it is small details like that, and that purple skin doesn't look burned, it actually looks rotted or frostbitten, probably either from the backlash of his own quirk which is known to rot upon contact or some other means I get how people made the theory, don't get me wrong, but I see too many holes in it. The colour of eyes isn't really signifigant to me, since Bakugou and Kirishima share an eye colour.... so by the theories logic, we're in for a revelation that they're related. Itsuka from 1 B and Izuku both share green eyes as well, wtc etc.

Holding up his arm to shoot a fire Quirk... I mean.... I feel liek any fire Quirk user would do that, so they could... you know.

Aim. Saying that bakugou and kirishima share eye colour as a way to disprove this theory is completely faulty. You also stated that if two people share the same quirk they would be related too.

However, you completely miss the idea that Dabi and Shouto share eye colour and quirk maybe even hair colour because yknow "hair dye", MAYBE they even share names because yknow we dont know Dabi's real name. It's not just some random crackhead theory, it actually does have some substance, you just fail to acknowledge it. The argument made was that when a mangaka draws two characters similarly and they have simlar quirks, it has a purpose in the story. Moreover, no one suggested that Dabi burned himself, well i mean you suggested it, all the user said was that he had "purple skin". Maybe Dabi couldn't control his quirk because he would be the son of a person with an ice quirk and fire quirk. If Shouto uses his ice quirk for too long then he gets too cold. But the manga never states what happens if he uses fire for too long - Dabi could be what happens if he uses fire for too long.

Ill leave this for all of y'all because I dont have the time of day to really go through all of the evidence: http://lingtosite.tumblr.com/post/146032879059/theory-dabi-is-todoroki-shoutos-older-brother

As one of the other users mentioned, this is simply a theory. It's always fun to speculate, reminds me of when people would formulate theories about who Tobi actually was in Naruto (And some people were actually right!), so don't try to discredit anyone's ideas due to your own self-righteous crusade.

If the theory isn't too out of left field, like this one, one should always suspend their disbelief.
