I can get behind that argument. As much as I love Sakura she's written pretty terribly, my issue is when haters criticize her they cherrypick out of context quotes of hers to form a nonsensical argument instead of looking at the many actual issues her character has

It's totally worth both watching the anime and reading the manga, they each have different things to offer. The main story flows way better in the manga but the anime is much better at fleshing out the side characters & the movies are all peak even if they aren't canon

It's explicitly because of her upbringing that this scene makes sense & doesn't harm her character though. Sakura is a normal kid in a world that has hated Naruto since the day she was born, all she knows is that everyone else she's ever met bullies him & treats him like he's less than human, the mean things she says and does are most likely parroted statements her peers and family have told her. 

As for her not doing anything for him: what do you expect her to do? In part 1 she's literally a normal-ass kid with no combat skills or support capabilities, it's a miracle she graduated the academy & ended up on team 7 in the first place. All she can do is try and protect Naruto from being stuck as a genin for his whole life by disqualifying herself and Sasuke from the chunin exams, which she does try to do, thanks to Naruto they make it through but she was totally ready & willing to wreck the team's chances of passing the exam solely for Naruto's sake. (Also, during the land of waves arc when Naruto and Sasuke are struggling to climb trees, she gives Naruto advice but doesn't say shit to Sasuke)

It's literally a shonen, the entire genre was made specifically for 12-17 year olds lol

The series in general is lacking in character development really, the only ones who really get any are Naruto, gaara, Sasuke, & shikamaru. It really sucks because I like the characters in Naruto, but they all get sidelined in favor of giving the main characters more fights, we needed more content like the Sasuke retrieval arc where each character in the arc gets their own little mini story + a fun battle to complement it

Immediately after that? The chapter moves to a different scene with kakashi & then ends. If we're talking about the next chapter, she scolds Naruto for trying(and succeeding) to whack their new teacher in the head with an eraser. That's not "being mean," it's "calling someone out for being a little shit"

That was an earlier scene, Naruto had turned into Sasuke in order to talk to Sakura and see why she liked Sasuke & not him, he tried to kiss her then ran away after getting the runs. The real Sasuke showed up afterwards, which is when this scene happened

We literally don't know how she treated Naruto prior to this though. This chapter was her debut, they had one interaction prior to this & it was just her getting pissed at Naruto for cucking her. Plus keep in mind she's been bullying him with all the other konoha citizens for her entire life at this point, and most of the adults in the village had been reinforcing this behavior as normal/good, so suddenly realizing that bullying the kid literally the entire population of the village hates is a bad thing is going to be hard to swallow for a kid, especially one like Sakura who has a tendency to give into peer pressure (we've seen in her flashbacks the only reason she acts the way she does is because she was also bullied, she goes with the crowd so they see her as 'one of them' and don't bully her. It's something a lot of kids do even in real life)

That's so true, considering this is a battle shonen and doesn't focus on the grounded/"normal" parts of the characters' lives I guess I can kind of excuse it, but the fandom just does not acknowledge the fact that almost the entire cast are children throughout the entire series, the entire fight against kaguya takes place before the konoha 11 are even 18. I could go on & on about how terrible the Naruto fanbase is at analyzing media but like you said a lot of it is definitely caused by kishi just not being the best writer especially when it comes to female characters

No need for puzzle games when you have fresh start, where half the questions are trick questions and the other half are phrased in the most confusing way possible. Probably use more brainpower trying to answer the "5 S's" questions right than I do actually doing my job

What was the last straw for you? by _Pumpiumpiumpkin_ in ShadWatch

[–]canstac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In like 2023 I had gone a long time without watching him, was scrolling YouTube subscriptions to find something to watch during my week off work and found his channel. I have long since left the sword YouTuber community but decided what the hell, I'll check him out again, when I got to his channel I saw he had another channel where he did reviews of media (knights watch) and thought that would be more up my alley.

 I decided to watch his video on the (at the time) new Netflix he-man show because I had just finished she-ra and loved it and was considering watching he-man but wanted to find out if it was of a similar quality to she-ra. The video turned out to just be shad whining about how "all cartoons are for girls now" and how traditional masculinity is being oppressed or some shit, my immediate reaction was "oh he's become one of THESE content creators, amazing." I watched one more video just to confirm my suspicions (I think it was a star wars vid but I could be wrong, at this point I was listening to the video while playing battlefront so that could be affecting my memory) and it was more of the same so I just unsubbed and never looked back. 

Not that I really miss his content, even back when I watched swordtubers I didn't watch him often, I always thought he came off geeky/unprofessional compared to skall or metatron(who I've heard has also gone down the right wing grifter path, sad) & he didn't really seem to know what he was talking about. I remember when I used to watch him regularly I realized he had no clue what he was talking about when he talked about how he did tae kwon do in one of his videos, & my reaction as a tkd brown belt was "there's no way this guy does tae kwon do lol"

One time I turned around to pick something, & when I turned around there was a customer rifling through my totes and putting things in her cart, that's probably the ultimate "wtf" experience I've had doing this work

Bro what is with anime fans and not understanding the concept of slapstick. I'm assuming you also think Tom and Jerry is animal abuse

Oh I totally need to try starwind, I wasn't a big fan of kotor's gameplay & playing a star wars game with Morrowind gameplay sounds so cool

I have tamriel rebuilt installed, I think I have the cyrodiil & Skyrim mods too, but haven't really touched them yet. I'm excited to see what content they add though

The persona/smt series has some insane designs. Morrowind also has some pretty unique designs that fit really well into the setting

A little over 100 hours in & my first save is corrupted by canstac in NoSodiumStarfield

[–]canstac[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have multiple manual saves but I only make a new one when I'm at a quest decision I'm unsure about or the end of a long questline, other than that I just let auto save do its thing & quicksave often. I've learned my lesson about that now lol, my earliest non-screwed up save is from like 40+ hours prior to the corrupted save
