How do you ship oro///kabu and claim to be against proshippers/anti-antis? Like... are you just stupid? You don't think a literal grooming relationship is bad? You somehow don't realize that's what it is despite it being a very important part of kabuto's backstory??? That he was groomed by orochimaru? When it was literally all but spelled out for us? That orochimaru met him when he was nine years old and spent years isolating him from his family and support system, to find him in his lowest moment, break his sense of self so entirely, just so they could make him into what they wanted him to be? Just because they wanted to collect him for his skills? Is that cute?

And you can somehow claim to be against proshippers and still be like 'aw they're husbands :)'

Kabuto was fucking 20 in part one and Orochimaru was 50

It’s time to stop shipping them and appreciate their relationship for what it really is

A dumbass parent/child dynamic where the parent is incompetent as fuck and eldest child has to pull all the weight

Reblog if you love 2 characters & their canon bond but DESPISE their fanon pairing coz shipping them with each other makes you feel very uncomfortable.

TW: Grooming mention, profanity from me

I can't believe people ship Kabuto with Orochimaru.

Like, ignoring the 31-year age gap, how Orochimaru scouted Kabuto out as a child, and how Kabuto started working for Orochimaru when he was 14, Orochimaru worked with Danzo and was just as responsible for getting Kabuto to kill Nono.

Orochimaru is responsible for ruining Kabuto's life and not only starting/worsening his identity crisis, but prolonging it as well.

What makes my blood boil is that, if Kabuto was female, then more people would reject any sort of romantic/sexual relationship between the two.

What am I supposed to gather from that? That you, the OroKabu shippers, are fine with an unequal relationship between a boss and subordinate that's absolutely FULL of grooming implications, as long as the one being groomed is a male?? What kind of horrific double-standard is that?!

And you can't go and say you have a different interpretation when you ship them because Orochimaru leading Kabuto to killing Nono isn't up to interpretation. Orochimaru sees Kabuto's skill as a medic and is there when Danzo threatens the Orphanage and is there again to take Kabuto in at his most vulnerable after they put him in that situation. If you take that out, then that character is no longer Kabuto.

Y'know what? Fuck ignoring the other things.

Orochimaru was 37-40 when first meeting Kabuto, who was around 6-9 (I don't have approximate ages because it isn't stated how long he'd been at the Orphanage by that time, but we know he was 6 when he was found and 9 when he left).

A person in their late 30s took special interest in a literal goddamn child and orchestrated his separation from any sort of protective parental figures. Then, years later when they are 45 and the child is 14, they put him in a situation where he kills his mother and shatters his sense of self, so that they can swoop in and exploit his extremely traumatized and vulnerable state and make him dependent on them. All because that child was skilled in something his mother taught him, and they wanted that skill for themselves.

How am I supposed to find that romantic or sexual in any fucking way? Why do you?
