Did you come from my quote tweet or…? You could’ve just said this there instead of hiding here like a coward. Anyway, this isn’t “Japan = better opinions.” It’s about context. People love to say “Sasuke doesn’t like Sakura,” yet ignore that he referred to her as “nakama,” which carries meaning that people familiar with the language and culture understand. Fans who could read Japanese, usually Japanese fans, followed the manga in real time. I did too, but through two or three translations at the time, since fan translations weren’t fully reliable. That difference matters, because it removes layers of mistranslations and made-up headcanons. And for the record, I’m a Sasuke fan, not just a Sakura fan. I was responding to someone obsessing over SasuNaru vs. SasuSaku AO3 stats. Maybe check your grammar and redirect that energy.
