Ah yes, you’re referring to this post.

That example where I talked about the scene in Shippuden episode 074 was just so awful to watch. When Sakura was looking at her photo of team 7 and getting sad over it, in the manga it was purely a SS moment (Chapter 319) due to the huge emphasis on the crescent moon (which was highly prominent during Sakura’s first confession). She was obviously thinking of and missing Sasuke, and the times they used to have together as part of Team 7:

That much was obvious. However, what SP did with this scene was just wrong, so so wrong…

Out of all the times in which SP downplayed SS moments, this was by far the worst in my opinion, because at least for the other examples, they were still identifiable as SS moments. In this instance however, they changed it into a NS moment in its entirety. 

In the anime, SP made Sakura have Naruto flashbacks out of nowhere, and made her think about how hard he’s worked, how far he’s come, and about how she can help him from now on:

They even had the gall to make Sakura recall how someone said that what really mattered were her feelings for Naruto(despite the fact that this scene was supposed to depict her being upset over Sasuke’s absence):

Another SS moment completely ruined, that was absolutely terrible by SP. They didn’t even have Sakura think about Sasuke at all; The only thing she thought about was Naruto’s journey, and how she could help him from now on. Why couldn’t they even remotely stick with the manga? It was downright awful.

3. Having Sakura doubt who she’d save first between Sasuke and Naruto

This was of course an anime only filler, but it was so stupid and made absolutely no sense when considering Sakura’s very obvious allegiances to the village despite her endeavour to save Sasuke from the darkness. It occurred during Shippúden episode 222 (which adapts chapter 491 of the manga), and it was during a scene where Sakura was being tutored by a medical ninja.

During this scene, Sakura has flashbacks of their reunion with Sasuke in The Land of Iron. That’s when she wondered to herself who she’d save first between him and Naruto if they were both seriously injured.

The scene occurs shortly after Naruto is transported back to Ichiraku Ramen:

In the manga however, after Naruto returns to Ichiraku Ramen from Mount Myóboku, the scene goes straight to Tsunade being pissed during the 5 Kage Summit because the general consensus was to hide Naruto and Killer Bee during the war, rather than to use them. Sakura having those thoughts never happened in the manga. Canonically, despite her love for Sasuke, she would of course save Naruto first, not only because Naruto was also striving to save Sasuke anyway so it was really a no-brainer, but also because Sasuke was a rogue ninja who was aiming to destroy the village; Sakura isn’t stupid.

SP decided to include those absurd scenes in the anime because apparently, canon material just isn’t good enough for them sometimes. Goodness, If they only knew how “good” their fillers truly were…

2. Portraying Sakura as being ignorant of Sasuke’s darkness during Pt.1

During episode 212 of Shippúden, the whole long scene of Sakura remembering her times with Sasuke on her way to confront him after his battle with Danzo, didn’t happen at all in the manga, and it didn’t do anything positive for SS either. All it did was wrongfully imply that Sakura was ignorant of the darkness that Sasuke carried, whereas Naruto apparently knew all along:

That’s just pure Studio Pierrot bullshit. Sakura was canonically the very first person to know of Sasuke’s darkness; she knew about it ever since he was bitten by Orochimaru in the Forest of Death, and was shown to constantly worry about it throughout the remainder of Pt.1, up to when Sasuke eventually left the village to seek Orochimaru. Which again, was something that only Sakura was shown to have foreseen, because unlike Naruto and Kakashi, she was indeed very much aware of the darkness inside Sasuke’s heart.

She was shown worrying about Sasuke’s darkness again:

And again:

And It was because Sakura knew how deep Sasuke’s darkness ran that she was the only one who was able to predict that he would leave, and she even predicted when he would leave, despite Naruto and Kakashi’s reassurances that he would stay and everything would be alright.

On the other hand, Naruto was the one who was completely ignorant of Sasuke’s darkness up until he fought him at the Valley of the End, and was made to see his Curse Seal and the way he acted first hand; it was just purely a rivalry thing to Naruto prior to that, and Kakashi was none the wiser:

Naruto just wanted to be acknowledged by Sasuke, and it was due to this that Kakashi likened their relationship and rivalry to that of Jiraiya and Orochimaru. That’s literally all either of them thought was up with Sasuke at the time.

So despite both Naruto and Kakashi essentially telling Sakura that she didn’t have to worry about Sasuke, and that everything would be alright because of their own ignorance of Sasuke’s darkness:

Sakura still knew that Sasuke would leave, because she was the one who was privy to the depth of Sasuke’s darkness and understood it better than anyone else did at the time. That’s why she anticipated his departure and intercepted him while he was making his way to the village gates:

And yet Studio Pierrot decided to feed the gullible viewers with more bullshit about how it was actually Sakura who was ignorant of Sasuke’s darkness, whereas Naruto had apparently noticed all along… What a load of fake nonsense, seriously. It was literally just a complete lie.

1. Actually changing Sakura’s thoughts, from thinking about Sasuke, to thinking about Naruto

Watching this butchered scene from Shippúden episode 074 made me physically ill; it was just so awful to watch. When Sakura was looking at her photo of team 7 and getting sad over it, in the manga it was purely a SS moment (Chapter 319) due to the huge emphasis on the crescent moon (which was highly prominent during Sakura’s first confession). She was obviously thinking of Sasuke, missing him dearly, and longing for the days and the good times they used to share together as part of Team 7:

That much was obvious. However, what SP decided to do with this scene in all of their wisdom, was just wrong, so so wrong…

Out of all the times in which SP downplayed SS moments, this was by far the worst in my opinion, because at least for the other examples, they were still identifiable as SS moments. In this instance however, they changed it into a NS moment in its entirety.

In the anime, SP made Sakura have these random Naruto flashbacks which had nothing to do with anything. They made her think about how hard he’s worked, how far he’s come, and about how she can help him from now on:

They even had the audacity to make Sakura recall how someone said that what really mattered were her feelings for Naruto, (despite the fact that this scene was supposed to depict her being upset over Sasuke’s absence):

don’t do that. don’t tryto use misogyny as a scapegoat… i don’t hate hinata because she is awoman, i hate her because a detriment to women; to feminism &the representation of such, particularly in a male-dominated and sexistgenre:

[a] she is marketedas an object of male gaze.

[b] she is a token of thequalities synonymous with the‘lesser’ – male-written – female image.↳ she is portrayed (by s/p especially) as asubmissive, timid and obedient housewife, whose only purpose is to care for andserve a man. her entire character revolves solely around said man, and sheholds that man – supposedly her husband; an equal – on apedestal.…s/p have even gone sofar as to introduce ‘kitchen-place’ propaganda, in needlessly convincingviewers that she is a good cook; a property of a ‘perfect bride’. theymanipulate this convention whilst simultaneously attempting to persuade themthat sakura – a smaller chested, impulsive, verbal woman – can’tcook. yet neither of which are presented in canon. 

so, you want to talk abouttackling sexism? i’m battling against the real misogyny in this fandom, inthe views held against sakura…
those are misogynistic! that ishow “hatred toward women spreads”.

my hatred for hinata andnaruhina is, again, because of the misogyny ingrained into its core.(“rewarded”, “deserved”, fandom views, s/p, etc.)

i am an avid feminist. iam a female; i know the struggles of facing actual misogyny as a real, livingperson. hinata is a fictional character…“in real life, do youactually hate girls like that?”, “do you treat them badly?”↳ ha! again, as a feminist and as a female,i treat real-life women with respect, love and decency. i am against the media’s portrayalof that which i have criticised. do you recognise the difference, anon? i mean,i hate breasts being exploited in audience pandering and advertising, but itdon’t change the fact i’m still a titty-loving bisexual, anon!

The Uchiha Clan truly are an unfortunate and tragic group of people. They derived from a single unwise decision made from a wise man, and would consequently suffer through generations of hatred and resentment.

And why was this so?

This was demonstrated though several notable Uchiha’s throughout their melancholic history.

Madara:

After Tobirama landed a fatal blow on Madara’s younger brother, Izuna, Madara became consumed with hatred due to being unable to protect his beloved younger brother.

And thus, set upon a dark path in which Hashirama couldn’t save him from due to losing the one thing that mattered to him the most. To make matters worse, he became disillusioned and felt betrayed by his own clan after they had opted to join the Senjus, rather than share in his ideals. Thus, he chose to defect and do things on his own terms:

Obito:

After witnessing Rin’s death by Kakashi’s hands, Obito let hatred consume him. The pain of losing Rin awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan:

And he slaughtered all the ninja in the immediate vicinity without remorse, or even conscious thought; It was simply blind, unadulterated hatred.

He then set himself on a dark path in which he thought would lead to Rin’s revival, and stopped at nothing to achieve this. However, things were unfortunately not that simple.

Sasuke:

After seeing that his parents and entire clan had seemingly been slaughtered by his dear brother, the pain, loss and sheer confusion of the entire ordeal caused something to resonate within him.

He subsequently awakened the Sharingan for the first time:

And allowed himself to plunge deep into darkness in order to attain the power necessary to get his revenge, and kill his older brother.

However, not everything was as it seemed, and Sasuke would later discover the tragic truth regarding his brother, and how he was torn between the alliance he had with his village, and that which he had with his family; He discovered that given the extremely difficult circumstances Itachi was placed in, everything he did was for Sasuke’s sake.

This revelation had a severely negative impact on Sasuke’s state of mind; he was left utterly broken:

And for the first time, an Uchiha fell victim to the clan’s curse for a second time. Sasuke spiraled so deep into true darkness that he became literally unrecognizable to those once considered closest to him. 

Sarada:

Sarada had harboured doubts regarding the identity of her true mother for an extended period of time, but she had always believed in Sakura and Naruto’s words and reassurance regarding the relationship between her parents and herself. Therefore, when she saw that there was a match between her DNA sample and what appeared to be Karin’s sample, she was left distraught.

She felt betrayed, as though she had been lied to her entire life by everyone.

This led to her activating her Sharingan (for the 2nd time), and allowing her typically overpowering Uchiha emotions to get the better of her. She seemingly claimed that everyone she had ever known now meant less than nothing to her, and she had no incentive to go and save the person who had loved and cared for her since her birth. Luckily, in contrast to his combat skills, Naruto’s prowess with the Talk no Jutsu hadn’t diminished, and he was able bring Sarada back to her senses before she had slipped any further. 

The Uchihas are certainly a complicated and tragic group of people, they really, really are. It must be said that when they don’t fall victim to their clan’s curse, they can be some of the brightest, and most carefree people you’re ever likely to meet:

Thankfully, due to the efforts of those who were closest to him, the supreme hatred that Sasuke Uchiha had harboured for much of his life, had slowly been replaced by the love that he had once lost, and the Uchiha clan’s cycle of hatred ended with him. 

This was shown though his daughter, Sarada, who first awakened her Sharingan through the strong feelings of wanting to be reunited with her father.

Perhaps it was because the curse had already been lifted from the clan, that Naruto had a relatively easy time with preventing Sarada from sinking further into darkness. However, she also has her mother to thank for that, for she was the one who filled Sasuke’s lonely existence with emotion called love.

I just honestly can’t get over this. I feel so sorry for Neji. For the whole purpose of his death is to act as a “cupid” (which makes no sense, that’s not how love works). Neji and his family have been enslaved by the main branch his entire life, and instead of him getting to change the course/fate of the lower branches, he dies for Hinata’s lust.

Pitying Hinata- is like, not even ‘like’ to be honest,- is equivalent to pitying the affluent slave master’s daughter. Like ohhh she disappointed her father because she sucks in her lessons and shows no motivation…how sad for her. Then she lusts after Naruto right above Neji’s still warm corpse, *Where’s the eye roll emoji??* Like these people literally glorify Hinata over what??? What has she done to be put on a pedestal??

Be kind???- I don’t consider her kind to be honest. She is just meek. Meek does not equal kindness. You’re not kind if all of your focus is in one direction. She shows no concern/care over the enslaved branch members, she’s never once reached out to Naruto despite people claiming she was always there, the only thing she has done significant for Naruto (when in all actuality was even written by author as her being selfish instead of benevolent) was try to commit suicide by going against Pein (which caused Naruto to understandably freak out at seeing someone from his village be completely decimated right in front of his eyes)–>This was going to cause not only Naruto’s death, but the Kyuubi extracted, and the village’s demise also. Furthermore, the destruction of other villages that the Akatsuki goes after. 

From what I got from Hinata, it’s like: fuck being a ninja, fuck my clan, fuck the village, fuck Neji, fuck anyone or anything that might be negatively affected, oh but not Naruto though, I want to fuck him at all costs.

To expand upon the “Hinata was never there for Naruto” NH/HInata shippers like to respond that no one else and Sakura was not there for him in the beginning also. HOWEVER, though they might not have been there in the beginning, they eventually changed their attitude and became closer than ever, beginning with Iruka and then continuing down the line, Team 7 onward. 

STALKING IS NOT BEING THERE FOR SOMEONE. I REPEAT. STALKING IS NOT BEING THERE FOR SOMEONE. IT IS NOT SUPPORT.

P.S I get horndog creeps will probably never stop fetishsizing body parts like boobs etc, but people need to stop glorifying and fetishsizing shy people. All of this is just demeaning.

Interviewer: Yuck! so how did you handle that, especially with your wife?

Kishimoto : I tried to calm the situation by assuring my wife that she was actually the model of Hinata. (Laughter)

Interviewer: As you said all this, I thought … I wonder if your family life is more like family Hinata and Naruto or Sasuke and Sakura’s? 

Kishimoto: Well … Actually, possibly neither. My wife is pretty strong, she is a strong character.

Interviewer: Oh, like Sakura!

Kishimoto: So I think my wife might have realized that Hinata secretly was not really the model of her … (laughs)
