I'm in Naruto hell

I can't believe I got to see GO!!!! (We Are Fighting Dreamers) performed live and never mentioned it here on my Naruto blog

Not to post the kind of cringe to my blog I'm certain not one of my 29 followers wants to see and simultaneously compare my favorite hashtag problematic mid ass anime game to my favorite hashtag problematic mid ass manga but Ouma Kokichi from New Danganronpa V3 is kind of what Uchiha Itachi should have been right. Despicable villain who is posthumously revealed to have actually been covertly trying to help the good guys the entire time. Except Kokichi as a character actually succeeds at this idea because said posthumous reveal is not meant to redeem him, it's meant to complicate him. Nobody tries to tell you he was a hero or actually a good guy all along or always well intentioned, the story doesn't try to frame it that way, he was still in many ways cruel and selfish, it just tells you it was more complicated than him being straightforwardly evil. Itachi fails because the story spends all of its time desperately trying to make him seem completely pure despite the reality of his actions not reflecting that and is consequently kind of obnoxious. Also while Kokichi says directly that it was All According To Cake, he's notoriously full of shit and we are encouraged to not take anything he says at face value. Things were only ever going as according to his cake as you want them to have been, meanwhile the only valid reading as far as Naruto itself is concerned is that Itachi was a supergenius who had it all under control no matter how little sense that makes. In conclusion you basically could have fixed my problems with Itachi by just rolling with the nuance inherent to his character concept instead of trying to dance around it

In general I kind of roll my eyes when people say "oooohhhh this fan community is sooo toxic" like be serious everywhere on the internet has annoying people and this can largely be avoided by blocking instead of engaging and just generally staying in your lane. Naruto fans are the exception though. You guys are angry all the time

Hey Jealousy by the Gin Blossoms is a SasuNaru song btw. Maybe not to you but it is to me
