#Anti Sasuke fans

[theheirofthesharingan]

No, but when I'm going through the pro Itachi tag, it should not have to have anti stuff. But apparently too many Sasuke fans and Uchiha fanatics don't know how to tag their nonsense properly. Part of me gets pissed off because it's 50% hypocrisy and 50% media illiteracy. But this is Tumblr, so what can we expect. Too many posts in the pro Itachi tag are raging about him and complaining about his fans? LMAO.

It's crazy that I love Sasuke but can't stand most of his fans who are perpetually angry.

sasuke fans: Itachi, team 7, Konoha are bad influence on sasuke and all are toxic. Sasuke deserves better. Team Taka is his only true friend group bc they supported him in everything

meanwhile sasuke: uses Taka for his own good. Deserts Suigetsu & Juugo despite promising "I will be your cage" and leaves them both to die where they came to support HIM? he almost kills Karin. Asks Sakura to KILL Karin instead of HEALING her despite knowing she's a medic nin?? Then leaves Taka with their abuser aka orochimaru

sasuke stans: only team Taka supported Sasuke :) :)

Would you have wanted orochimaru to die or just be punished for his evil deeds in a way that doesn't involve him necessarily dying?

Yesn't.

Don't get me wrong. I certainly wouldn't have minded Orochimaru's death. And I agree that some people are, for the sake of humanity, better off dead. That's all your Voldemorts, Palpatines, and Saurons - The cliché "dark lords". The problem is that Kishimoto treated Orochimaru with far too much kindness to begin with.

Orochimaru doesn't really fit the "personification of pure evil" caricature, and is characterized as a person instead. On top of that, unlike the aforementioned villains, Orochimaru didn't pose an active threat to the world which then hits us with an ethical question:

Do humans have the right to decide who lives or dies?

And what justifies killing? Survival? Improval? Feelings? Can we trust humans to determine these parameters?

And now add to that that I grew up on ATLA as a child and generally do not believe in death sentences...

The problem is, in real life, people like Orochimaru don't change and don't redeem themselves. There is no "I killed 59 newborns for funsies but now I'm a loving and responsible parent".

I think the better question to ask here is whether Kishimoto should've given Orochimaru a redemption or not. Because if Orochimaru had never been redeemed, he would've remained as a danger to the world, and killing him would have been the obvious choice. But Kishi instead redeemed him, leaving us with this moral dilemma.

Hey everyone,

I need to address something troubling that's been happening recently. There's been a rise in disgusting, mean-spirited comments online targeting Hinata and her fans, specifically coming from a girl named Gabby Erdman. This kind of behavior isn’t just rude—it’s outright cyberbullying. Using public platforms to spread hate and disrespect is unacceptable and harmful.

Hinata and her fans deserve to engage with the community positively, just like everyone else. No one should have to face this kind of abuse. We need to call out these harmful actions and support each other against such negativity. Let's work together to create a kinder, more respectful online space. 🌟

#StopCyberbullying #SupportHinata #KindnessMatters

I want to address a concerning issue that’s been popping up more frequently: the misuse of character hatred as a form of cyberbullying. It’s crucial to recognize that disliking a fictional character should never justify attacking, threatening, or bullying others.

When people let their negative feelings towards a character turn into harassment against fans, creators, or anyone associated, it crosses the line from healthy critique to harmful cyberbullying. This behavior is not only hurtful but can also escalate into serious threats, which is unacceptable.

We need to remember that it’s perfectly fine to dislike a character or disagree with a storyline. However, using that disdain as an excuse to harass or threaten others is not justifiable and should not be tolerated. Let’s focus on fostering respectful discussions and addressing differences without resorting to personal attacks or intimidation.

Together, we can create a safer, more supportive community where everyone can express their opinions without fear of being bullied. Let’s work towards constructive conversations and kindness in all our interactions. 🌟

Cyberbullying is more than just hurtful comments and online harassment—it can lead to significant issues like inequality and bad behavior. When people are targeted online, it not only affects their mental health but can also perpetuate a culture of fear and division.

The impact of cyberbullying extends beyond the individual. It reinforces harmful stereotypes, creates hostile environments, and can lead to systemic inequality by discouraging diverse voices and perspectives. Additionally, when people see or experience cyberbullying, it can normalize bad behavior and contribute to a cycle of negativity and intolerance.

We must address cyberbullying not just as a personal issue, but as a societal problem that affects how we interact and respect each other. Promoting empathy, support, and respectful dialogue online is crucial in combating these issues and fostering a more inclusive and positive digital space.

Let’s work together to create an environment where everyone feels safe and valued, and where we stand up against inequality and harmful behavior. 🌟

this panel will never stop being funny to me, literally looks like it's straight out of a wattpad story and it's so cringe actually. gives off the vibe of a teenage fangirl who met her idol for once. jun esaka is so embarrassing, the whole manga was so funny and for ss fans to put this in front of us as a "proof"💀 lmao. like... better you guys don't

(so happy sasuke retsuden is over, we're finally rid of it. now i'll pray for my son to get rid of boruto shit🙏🏻)

[shyflowerhologram]

this doesn't make sense (Deidara rarely does but), what does "thanks to Uchiha blood" mean? if Sasuke didn't have Uchiha blood and genes, he would be a different person, a random villager maybe? Genes make up the whole person, his personality, his looks, his abilities. Sasuke was born as Uchiha, formed as a blob of cells based on Uchiha Gene, expressed them and developed. What do you want him to do, Deidara? Erase just part of his DNA to appease your trauma? I guess that's what most dudebros demand but it doesn't work like that.

For comparison we can look at Naruto. He maybe wouldn't have those powers without kyuubi, but he still would be the same person, because kyuubi isn't in his genome. Meanwhile Uchiha abilities are part of Sasuke's genome. It's really simple. (No, I'm not hating Naruto, it's just a fact).

[anubisthe1]

Can't stay on Twitter for too long because randomly, I'll stumble upon a tweet that says something like:

"It's 2024, and there are still sakura haters" or

"Why is everyone so mad at a 16 year old girl?"

(THE LOUDEST SCREAM YOU CAN EVER IMAGINE)

[nartml]

Scrolling through the pro sasuke tag, as any sane person does, you come across a lot of different takes on Sasuke.

We have to lay down some ground rules on being a Sasuke stan here, because I've seen some outrageous shit on that tag.

These are, in my personal opinion, the most important rules:

Now, you're immediately disqualified the moment you have tagged anything along the lines of "pro sasusaku", "pro konoha", "pro tobirama(that little bitch)" or "pro itachi". The last one is the only one that can be just a little debatable.

Can't emphasize the pro ss one enough, y'all can't ship sasusaku and support Sasuke, those two are mutually exclusive. (Putting less emphasis on the other ones, cuz personally, I thankfully haven't seen many pro konoha or pro tobirama posts that include Sasuke. Thankfully.)

You're also immediately disqualified, if you put your ships first, and Sasuke second. Sasuke is more than his ships, ffs. If you can't discuss his character without bringing in whoever you ship him with, then it's a problem. The moment you prioritize your romantic fantasies over Sasuke's own convictions, is the moment you are now stripped of the privilege of being a Sasuke stan (cough looking at the sasusakus and sasuhinas rn cough)

That is all, thank you.

Pls don't take this too seriously btw

Naruto fandom: We SAW Itachi was traumatized as a kid. As a 4-year-old. Had his formative years ruined with a burden by both the village and the clan. Had to make impossible decisions the responsibility of which he took on his shoulders. Regretted all his actions. Never believed he deserved forgiveness, love, and compassion from anyone. He died in guilt and disgrace believing this was what he deserved.

Also Naruto fandom: What shitty logic can we use to contradict everything we know from canon to discard his trauma and pain and pretend he was a completely mentally stable kid/teen who made all the decisions himself with no heavy conscience and then also blame his fans for actually seeing through all of this. Also how can we defend our favorites from Naruto itself and other fandoms because..?

[comikadraws]

sasuke stans on this site perceive any discussion of sasuke's behavior that isn't 100% endorsement as "hate" and even aggression towards them as fans. that's why they think the fandom actually hates him. it does not, and it never has.

Okay, dear Anon. As you can see, I delayed this ask for a week before responding to first get a couple of additional opinions by running polls and collecting data (I was hoping it's just my perception for a while, haha).

The thing is, the majority of my followers and I seem to agree with this sentiment (at least to a degree). And not just them, but the statistics I've gathered in regards to Tumblr tell a similar story of Sasuke stans perceiving Sasuke and his fanbase as victims of a cruel fandom (though I did not measure the legitimacy of Sasuke criticism in any way, but I commented on it here).

And frankly, all of this effort is probably making me look rather silly. However, this is actually pretty important to me because Sasuke stans are the bane of my existence as a regular, not die-hard Sasuke and Itachi fan.

Before I continue, let me clarify that I personally differentiate between Sasuke fans and Sasuke stans. There are Sasuke fans/stans (a minority) that match Anon's description and there are those Sasuke fans (the majority) who don't. Also, the polls and counts I made are not necessarily representative - if at all. But they are the closest thing to objective data I have.

First of all, people's opinion about Sasuke stans (particularly what I assume to be Itachi fans but that is not to say non-Itachi fans don't agree*). The overwhelming majority agrees that Sasuke stans are very defensive when it comes to legitimate criticism of Sasuke and will be particularly hateful toward other characters.

Second, people's opinions about Sasuke and Itachi and who gets more hate/defense posts in comparison (particularly what I assume to be more Sasuke fans than Itachi fans*). The overwhelming majority perceive that Itachi gets better treatment from the fandom than Sasuke.

Also, beware that many of my followers are pro-Itachi and that several Sasuke stans may have already blocked me. This may have affected the results.

Now, let's compare this with actual numbers. I counted Tumblr posts with the following tags from 01.01.2024-06.09.2024:

Posts tagged "pro Sasuke": 247 Posts tagged "anti Sasuke": 16 Posts tagged "pro Itachi": 27 Posts tagged "anti Itachi": 54

The method is not perfect (there are most certainly anti-posts and pro-posts not tagged as such; it is entirely possible that Sasuke fans and/or Itachi fans are better at tagging) but this result seems to contradict the perception that many people apparently have, which is that Itachi gets treated better or is more loved than Sasuke by the fandom on Tumblr.

In fact, the pro-Itachi posts on this site get drowned out by anti-Itachi posts. Sasuke-positivity, meanwhile, overshadows absolutely everything else.

To visualize this discrepancy (even though the nature of the statistics is not exactly comparable), I put the statistics and poll results in comparison. It highlights just how many fans believe that Sasuke is more hated than Itachi when Tumblr (the site where that poll was conducted) shows the reverse.

The truth is, of course, that Sasuke is one of the most beloved characters in Naruto. Take follower counts, for example.

On Tumblr, the #sasuke tag has 15k followers. For Itachi, it is 9.8k.

On Twitter, the daily Itachi account has nearly 6k followers. For the daily Sasuke account, this number is nearly 41k.

In 8 out of 9 character polls, Sasuke won against Itachi - the only exception being a contest for "who gets a designated manga chapter" that is not representative, considering the attention garnered by minor characters like Sakumo Hatake and Shisui Uchiha (who, until that point, never even made it into the top 50 during character polls).

But back to hate, characters that are not Sakura or Hinata (who usually become the victims of ship wars instead) usually receive most of their anti-posts through Sasuke fans.

Specifically, the statistic about "anti Itachi"-tagged posts reflects my personal experiences, which is that almost no Itachi fan on Tumblr will be a Sasuke hater, but conversely, particularly hardcore Sasuke fans often tend to be Itachi haters.

Results include posts from @/naruto-general-opinions and @/naruto-shipping- confessions which cannot be attributed to either "pro Sasuke" or "not pro Sasuke" accounts due to their anonymity. They have been counted in as "not pro Sasuke". Had they not been counted, the results would've turned out in favor of the notion that "pro Sasuke" accounts post more hate.

And we are not just talking about legitimate criticism in these cases. There are posts literally calling Itachi "born rotten" or a "bootlicking shitstain on the world". Somebody reblogging my poll requested more Itachi hate from the fandom while tagging it #pro sasuke. And I still hope it was all bait.

If you want to read more about me venting about the double standards that Sasuke stans have for Itachi and Sasuke, you can read this rant, which further comments on Anon's ask.

But without getting into details, Sasuke stans are souring my fandom experience - both due to their hatred of Itachi as well as their opinionated behavior when it comes to Sasuke (which, sometimes, seems inseparable from one another, even when hypocritical).

I've personally gotten harassed by a Sasuke stan before for an opinion unrelated to Sasuke (same post was then miraculously tagged #anti itachi). Other people had their intelligence insulted. When I see fanart of Sasuke, memes, shitposts, or analyses of his character, I wonder to myself "is this a hardcore Sasuke stan willing to be hostile to me at the drop of a hat" rather than "hey! what a cool post. can we be friends?".

And I don't want to play any victim cards about "oohhh, my favorite character, and his fans have it so much worse than you" because that is honestly not the point. The point is that I am tired and that my followers and I wish for Sasuke fans on this site to dial it down or call out this type of behavior. I don't know what makes them act this way, whether they just feel justified to hate on Itachi because they personally feel Sasuke is over-hated in an act of revenge or if they have just somehow managed to conflate anti Konoha with anti Itachi opinions. Regardless, many of us Itachi fans are Sasuke fans as well but we cannot engage with this part of the fandom because it has become so toxic as of late.

It is genuinely driving down my motivation to create or engage with any pro-Sasuke content and I am considering just stopping engaging with any of it altogether.

*I've managed to somewhat identify the fan groups who voted based on my other polls. The main takeaway is that my blog is very pro-Itachi, hence it attracts more Itachi fans than posts appearing in Tumblr's #sasuke tag would.

The first poll (opinion on Sasuke stans) was designed not to be shown to Sasuke fans. The second (anti vs defense posts) had multiple sister polls. An origin poll about "who gets better treatment" from the fandom (which appeared in the #pro Sasuke #pro Sasuke Uchiha #Sasuke #Sasuke Uchiha #anti Itachi #anti Itachi Uchiha tags and scored similar results to the hate vs defense poll above), two polls about "who gets more hate" and "who gets more defense" (that did not appear in any tags, only on my followers' dashboards, and scored results contradictory to the ones above), and multiple other polls about "who has worse trauma", "who is prettier", and "who is more genocidal" (all of which had more sympathetic results toward Itachi, which is typical for my blog but, evidently, not the majority of Tumblr).

It is safe to assume that my other polls genuinely did not breach into the pro Sasuke bubble.

Does sasuke retsuden manga/novel distort the facts of the manga?

It's state in the manga that sasuke's nature is fire and he can use lighting nature too, there's nothing about sasuke has wind or water nature nor he used it in the manga

Also look at kakashi, he said he couldn't copy ice style bc it's a kekkei genkai

Meanwhile sasuke in retsuden:

Combine tow nature and use ice style:

But here in the sasuke retsuden he use ice style Justu while it's a kekkei genkai.... which kakashi state it can't copy with sharingan....so...I don't know. Sasuke don't have wind and water style Justu and the sharingan can't copy kekkei genkai. So how the fuck he use ice style I don't know...I should ask clowns for it🤡

Communication between Jun esaka (Author of sasuke retsuden) and ss fans 🤣🤣🤣

Don't get offend sasusaku fans when we say Sasuke retsuden isn't canon. Look for yourself Sasuke Retsuden distorts the facts of the manga...

Some SK HeadCannon 🤩

Comission by Iluhscat on Instagram 💕

Well, I've always thought how Karin would confess to him. Just like Sasuke, she never would speak out lout, her character don't know how express this love she fell for him... Actually, when she try to do it, it's when she go all the way to hit on him.😅

So after all the cannon events on manga, team taka will travel together and after a while, each of them will follow their own journey. Juugo would go to kumokagure village, Suigetsu will find again his roots in the mist country an Karin returns to otokahure, join Orochimaru to find some cure for Juugo's curse.

The team will travel together until only Sasuke's journey left, but before that, in the last night they spent as a duo, Karin will have the courage to say, not with all the words, but she will tell 'The moon is beautiful, isn't?'

Seems weird, right? 🤭

Well, I studied Japanese for some time and in the Meiji era, the writer Natsume Soseki, when debating with some students at the time, suggested the phrase '月がきれいですね' which means 'the moon is beautiful, isn't it?' as a way of declaring to someone, a poetic way to say I love you (愛している). Why? Because in japanese culture it's not comum say 'I love you' directly.

I read recently other explanation that 月(tsuki) is phonologically similar to 好き(suki, another way to say 'I love you'), so it's almost like saying 好きがきれいですね。(loving you is beautiful, isn't it?)

Soooo, I wonder how Sasuke would react towards this confession and spontaneous momento of her. Sasuke seems clueless every time she hit on him, so here he would be somehow confused and after realizing what she does, Karin blushes and turn aways. In my mind Sasuke would confess with a gesture, so this can be way to a second part? 🤭

I like this idea because Sasuke is the representation of the moon in manga, and even if it hasn't been shown in the canonical work, Karin can be a representations for Maple trees.

That's just amazing because it's another contrast with NaruSaku. In Japan, just as the spring brings cherry blossom and hanami (flower-viewing) fastivals, the autumn welcomes moon viewing and momiji (maple) leaves, especially memorable when lit up at night.

It wouldn't be beautiful something like that?

A funny thing that I've thinking with this role HeadCannon history is a interaction between Sasuke and Sai. Before leaving konoha with Taka, Sai give a book for him as a gift to help him with his new emotions 😬 and it would be a really nice interaction between them.

[dollythots]

There's nothing anyone could tell me, that would make me even think SasuSaku works. Sakura was dumb, and she should have left his ass alone. I don't care if he was scarred or whatever, let his ass be scarred by himself. Cause ain't no fucking way, I'm sit with confidence with a man, who tried to kill his own daughter just because he didn't recognize her... wtf. The dick can't be that good. And keep that stupid novel to yourselves, that shit is whack to me.
