The Issue I Have With Sakura Stans As Another Sakura Fan Is That Some Have A Tendency To Think Black

Headcanon: The entirety of Danganronpa happend just because Junko was going though her edgey teenager phase

I thought when they found his motive video, it would reveal that he lied about his talent too.

Confession: I find it wasn’t Angie or Ibuki with the biggest wastes of talents, but rather Kokichi. While music and art are subjective, leadership skills are NOT, yet Kokichi is explicitly standoffish and can barely get anyone to cooperate with him. I love Kokichi as a character but I wish they incorporated his talent into his personality more.

And there was only one bed!!!!

Sequel to this one

Update: it’s not an ESL thing it’s literally the whole “I like pancakes - so you hate waffles” mindset that mainly comes from American users. As someone living in Canada, I’ve never experienced anyone who has that sort of mindset before and I used to work in mental health services. I’m so Canadian that I thought it was a language barrier because the black and white thinking is really bizarre to me.

The issue I have with Sakura stans as another Sakura fan is that some have a tendency to think black or white. I’m unsure if it’s because of how much hate a character who really didn’t deserve it got during the Naruto heyday.

Regardless, if you have an opinion that isn’t 💯 positive all around, a subsection of fans will attack you. Like you can literally say nothing negative about the character and people will act like you do.

Maybe it’s a ESL thing. I find that if I’m having a discussion with someone and it’s clear to me that we are talking about two different things, the miscommunication is from a language barrier, people can’t read well or it’s anger issues that makes people skip words.

For example, I had a discussion about Sakura and Naruto’s dynamic with Sasuke. I said that Sakura is the more reasonable one as Naruto’s constant defending for Sasuke even though he’s technically wrong is absurd. But that’s just Naruto. He sees the good in everyone, even people who genuinely don’t deserve it at times.

Somehow someone took that and responded with I’m calling Sakura a whore, bitch and dumb and that I’m sexist. If Sakura did it she’s that but when Naruto does it it’s endearing LMAO.

Me dunking on Naruto and saying Sakura is more reasonable is apparently swapped in that person’s mind.

Honestly there is a reason why people don’t like Sakura fans because some of them took the hate that her character got and took it in the wrong direction.

Shippūden Naruto is literally holding the plot hostage because all he wants is to hang out with Sasuke on the weekends. A guy who wouldn’t even hang out with him outside of missions.

BECAUSE LITERALLY WHAT DOES BRINGING SASUKE BACK TO THE LEAF VILLAGE ACCOMPLISH?

He’s not even like “Sasuke come back we have to finish the Chunin exams properly or else I can’t become Hokage”. He just misses his man 🧍‍♂️

we love naruto

Shipping is such a funny thing...

Cause, like... I wholeheartedly believe that Gaara is, or at one point in their youth was, in love with Naruto. Like, the kind of one-sided love that you learn to be at peace with but never truly get over, you know? And I really don't mean that in a depressing way. It totally works for me that he doesn't end up romantically involved with anyone at the end of the canon telling of this story. It just fits with the way I already read his character and relationships.

BUT AT THE SAME TIME...

Sometimes I rewatch those filler episodes with Fu and can't help but think... I could get behind that pairing.

Like, logically, it could never happen, as she's dead for most of the canon timeline... But... Her energy and enthusiasm paired with his overly formal awkwardness? They could have been something really cute and fun, guys. Nobody's gonna convince me otherwise.

Naruto is like the greatest love story told accidentally by a guy who with the best intentions, really needed a second opinion.

As someone who is watching Naruto for the first time as an adult, despite being an anime fan for years- I think I honestly may have underestimated how impactful the show is.

I vaguely remember having some friends in elementary school in the year 2008, secretly shipping Naruto and Sasuke but I never bothered to learn more about that because I didn’t watch the show.

Now I see the vision. Honestly I’m quite shocked parents didn’t learn how gay Naruto and Sasuke were and didn’t protest to stop their kids from watching it in the early to late 2000’s. Like you’re telling me, millions of children were watching Naruto and Sasuke declare their love towards each other (platonically I suppose) and just staring at the TV screen, taking it all in with eyes glued to the action. Inspirited by what they say, they went to a website called YouTube and made some of the first AMV ever with Linkin Park playing over the two characters fist fighting eachother in the most angsty way ever?

Damn

very true!

Clives new outfit was literally a size or two too small and realistically, it would have ripped at some point. I just need fanart of the seams of his top coming off in a middle.

I need to see his nude model

I use to think Vaan (Dissidia games) or Firion were great but Clive is clearly the most attractive.

No malicious intent cuz I’m ace yall - I just like looking at his body

Also it seems he has a huge butt too which is rare for video game dudes lol

You smell nice.
