#honestly i could talk a lot about how shallow ‘’’strong’’’ female characters r because thats not how u write well rounded female characters

I really hate rewrites of sakura that girlbossify her, for lack of a better word. Like dont get me wrong her character is bad and annoying and misogynistically written but frankly i find rewrites of her that take away all of those flaws (like her “love for sasuke being selfish, refusing to actually understand his perspective) to be really shallow, plus I feel like her behaviour (and the behaviour of other girls in their group) can have a watsonian explanation of deep-rooted sexism within konoha and the shinobi system (i mean the girls training to be killers were taught FLOWER ARRANGEMENTS for fucks sake). Id much rather read a version of sakura that acknowledges those flaws and grows from them, rather than just some girlboss who needs a malewife or whatever
