#anti anti NaruSaku fandom

[watermelonsloth]

I’d like to be fair and go into the problems of SNS and NS, but neither of their anti tags are giving me inspiration or a conversation to add to. The anti-SasuNaru tags is full of the pro Sasuke/anti Konoha crowd that hates Naruto and don’t like Sasuke being shipped (like, dislike, and post whatever you want, but none of it is really going into why the ship/dynamic itself doesn’t work). The anti-NaruSaku tag is full of ship content for other ships and Sakura bashing (again, not wrong to post but not what I’m looking for).

After digging down far enough, I did find some actual criticism. SasuNaru is repeatedly compared to brothers and I can see why that gives people the ick. People don’t generally like incest pairings, blood related or not, and characters constantly saying that they see each other as having a sibling relationship gets distracting. NaruSaku has a dynamic that is very connected to Sasuke and it makes sense that people don’t want to ship something that needs an unrelated party for it to work.

Do I entirely agree with both of these criticisms? No. But this search has led me to the conclusion that if I want to find criticism towards these two ships that I agree with, I’ll have to make it myself.

Do you know who hate women more than men?

Women that ship a (non canon)gay couple and there’s also a girl in the picture(the canon girlfriend/wife/love interest of one of the male characters).

Hinata obviously loved Naruto from the beginning, but Naruto never loved Sakura, right?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We all know Hinata loved Naruto FROM THE BEGINNING. How do we know it? Well...

She was blushing when she saw him!

She always thought he was the best and the coolest!

She was smiling at Naruto hugging Sakura, after Pain fight because she just wants him to be happy! That's how REAL love works!

She tried to protect him AT ALL COST!

Everyone had known she loves Naruto!

She EVEN SAID IT DIRECTLY!

LIKE THAT WAS OBVIOUS. We know ALL that. 🙄

BUT

Naruto.... HAS NEVER LOVED SAKURA. NEVER. IT WAS CLEARLY A CRUSH, HE NEVER DID THINGS THAT HINATA DID, COME ON. ONE IS CLEARLY LOVE AND THE OTHER ONE IS BARELY A CRUSH.

Like:

1) He clearly NEVER blushed around her

Not even once.

And even IF (but we all know he didn't) it wouldn't be in Shippuuden, then he was 100% over that "CRUSH"

2) He NEVER thought she was cool

Or even cute

3) Obviously Naruto has NEVER smiled at Sakura hugging Sasuke because NaruSaku was a crush AT BEST, so he never wanted her to be happy with someone else, that's would be LOVE and Naruto never loved her

4) And we obviously know he NEVER cared to protect her by jumping at a 100% stronger opponent... like never happened

5) Noone, not even once, thought Naruto loved Sakura, especially not because Naruto said it

6) And at last, he never said it, because if he did we wouldn't talk about it, right?

LIKE COME ON, ITS OBVIOUS. One is love and the other one is "just a crush"...

Clearly 🥰

Fun fact, NaruSaku is not even my OTP, but saying Naruto never loved Sakura is a CRIME 🤷‍♀️.

"well, naruto has two hands, he can perfectly be with both sasuke and hinata/gaara/sakura at the same time!!"

no he can’t. naruto has one arm and only puts it to use for sasuke

[gaydinosaurbananamilkcarton]

narusaku is a gross ship, she treats him like her brother. Sasusaku is a toxic ship, sasuke doesn't deserve sakura. Naruhina is a boring ship, it's like they don't even like each other. Kibahina would've been better. Sakura, naruto, and sasuke probably should've been alone💀 narusasu isn't a bad ship, I just don't like it. If sakura was with anyone, ino would've been better. I only like sasusaku because of Sarada, but we all can admit that sasuke was a piece of shit even after they got together.

Remember me again who is Naruto's wife Naruto not talking with Sasuke and Sakura 10 years + lol this ships never was existing in thime that Naruto growing kids with Hinata 😘

[neko-uchiha]

Sexuality and Romance has literally NO RELEVENCE in both Naruto and Sasuke's (ESPECIALLY SASUKE) character arc

[narutobyari]

Sakura Uzumaki and Shinachiku (NS)

The only couple which makes sense. Narutos love is Sakura and no one else. 🌸

[theflorasdiary]

Being called homophobic from shippers of non canon mlm couples,meanwhile they fetishized gay people and sees them as objects of their own fantasies and not real people.Treating women as baby machines,forcing sexuality on people and stripping down their traits to adjust them to their ship.

And then they go:“But the author and the character never said they were straight!😡”

The same character that only had girlfriends/have a wife and kids/has only been interested and sexually attracted to women.

I THINK I'VE NEVER SEEN THIS ABOUT NARUSAKU BEFORE.

It's undeniable that there're so many things in common between Sakura and Kushina, but I believe I have never seen anyone compare these two facts.

Sakura and Kushina's insecurities

And how naruto and minato loved they insecurities.

That's it 🥺😉

Many argue that Sakura should end up with Naruto due to his consistent kindness towards her, but they overlook the fact that Sakura's feelings for him are not as deep. It's unrealistic to expect her to simply erase her affection for Sasuke. Genuine love cannot be switched off at a moment's notice. Consider the emotions of this fictional character. Love doesn't just fade away when someone expresses care or affection towards you.Many argue that Sakura should end up with Naruto due to his consistent kindness towards her, but they overlook the fact that Sakura's feelings for him are not as deep.

Love can develop over time as you get to know someone, or it can happen instantly with a strong feeling of connection.

Naruto's love for Sakura was unrequited, proving that being the main character doesn't guarantee getting the girl. However, he ultimately found someone who genuinely loved him, even after getting hit in the face. Additionally, he starred in a movie and a novel, although the storyline of the movie didn't entirely make sense.

If someone has treated you well for many years and loves you, but you don't feel the same way, it's important to prioritize your own feelings. Oftentimes, people overlook Sakura's emotions in favour of focusing on others. If Sasuke didn't love her, Sakura would understand and move forward because Sasuke is not the type to be manipulated into anything. He is entitled to his own feelings, just like Karin, who loved Sasuke but didn't receive the same feelings in return. It's okay to acknowledge that just because someone loves you, you're not obligated to reciprocate those feelings.

During the time when Naruto was training, sakura and him didn't talk to each other or visit each other. Sakura didn't remember Naruto's memory in this panel unlike anime and she never made a medical pills for him...nor give him that letters ...they didn't have any news about each other

Instead she cried for sasuke....

Like in this panel also sakura received the news from kakashi and not naruto, she didn't talk to him...

Here she's still acting cold towards him, look at her face ... She's like " Naruto you better win"....

Don't forget about how she underestimate Naruto's ability.... While Naruto risked his Life for her and we never see she thanked him for that

Here she defend herself, but when it's come to sasuke she becomes a puppy....

Also ignores Naruto's existence....

She doesn't understand Naruto at all

She hits him and never apologize to him ...

This is sakura with this eyes, the eyes that shows its passion for (guess who? Naruto? Nah) for sasuke... So narusaku shippers whenever sakura looked at Naruto with these thirsty eyes then come and talk about they love each other! Ur ship is no better than sasusaku, naruhina or even sasukarin...

Sorry to not sorry but narusaku is suck as much as sasusaku is 🤗

My NaruHina ❤️🥺

"Naruto didn't acknowledge Hinata after her confession"

literally the "all in your eyes" comment, just because you saw it diferently doesn't mean it wasn't there.

"Naruto called Sakura his girlfriend in front of his dad!!!"

which he joked saying "if you're spitting hair i guess" so by that point he already moved on from Sakura.

Thank you! you can go shave your back now!

Exactly. And with my new understanding I can see why Naruto would’ve probably took “I love you” in another way because he literally didn’t think anyone would love him romantically especially the princess of the most powerful clan in Konoha.

I felt the same about this guy I know in real life (he didn’t confess to me but he did a lot of things for me and supported me the way Hinata supported Naruto).

I agree with that one OP a few post back. The anime portrays Naruto and Hinata as distant towards each other except that one episode. I feel like SP has a bias for Ino, too. Which is fine, but they hint at Naruto having a crush at Ino (parents and child day episode). Or they'll leave hinata out altogether or stick her in a corner. I hope they drop SP, but I'm being to optimistic.

We do get some NaruHina fillers, but rarely and mostly happened after the manga ended. But yeah SP was not kind when it came to NaruHina, I don't think they are bais towards Ino if anything they were bias against Ino one of their lead script writers was an infamous NaruSaku/Sakura fan so a good of eps and filler cater to that meaning both Hinata and Ino got unfair treatment.

I don't remember it suggesting Naruto had a crush on Ino period in the anime what ep and time frame was that hinted in.

Yeah they completely left Hinata's chapter of the novel which at first I didn't have a problem with since I thought they wanted to focus on the next gen characters, but then that adapt Retsuden of all things which has nothing to do with the next gen characters.
