The more I look deeper the worse it looks now. Naruto is extremely naïve, altruistic, stupid, and does not understand what he is truly talking about. Does he really think that every single person other than him would seek revenge and HE is the only one who knows better? The other Konoha KNEW that Sasuke was dangerous. They all knew and he essentially ignored all the people he so called "friend."
So you scold the good guys for wanting justice for the crimes done to them, but when a bad guy wants to kill or enslave everyone then we should not do anything, but try and understand them; pat them on the head; and tell them it is not their fault?
Naruto is the WORST hero ever. I thought Goku was bad, but Goku is just dumb. Naruto actively thinks he is a good person whole damning the actual good people around him.
The only think I know at this point is is that I can kill his family, rape his wife, and destroy his village, but as long as I don't go after Sasuke he will forgive me.
Makes me wonder if Kakashi knew the whole time that Itachi was a good guy. Would explain so much.
God.
In my time away, I played TLoU and these kinds of arguments are always so, so, it's like the people writing them don't understand how people actually work but want to say this is how people should be. That Ellie was wrong in 2 for seeking revenge on Abby, that Abby shouldn't face repercussions hunting down and murdering Joel. That a character players cared about is brutally killed by someone we don't know, then the game tries to make players care for her and that she's a good person, but she still comes across as unlikable and even horrifying with how she treats her friends and allies. But Ellie is supposed to be wrong for not walking away.
You know, back in the 80's Gundam's creator, Yoshiyuki Tomino, created a series called Xabungle. In that series, the MC was seeking revenge against the person who killed his parents in a world where people are just expected to let slights go after three days. People treat the MC like he doesn't make sense, but the point was that the "forgive after three days" rule was meant to be challenged when it was set up by the ancient people as a test for the people they created
It just really feels like modern writers don't understand people anymore. Like again with Tomino, he said with regards to modern anime boys are written nowadays as always reaching out for the girl's hand, when in his day they were written as reaching for their crotches. That romance has been desexualized, ironic considering how more sexualized modern anime is. That pacifism is the ideal, and the best way to be pacifist is to fight for what you believe in while not killing people except when you decide you have no choice but to kill people (as RE:Creators put it, that is no different from killing for fun because you're making a conscious decision to kill someone). That beating up bad guys is the best way to make them see the error of their ways (again, RE:Creators says that doing so will just make them more likely to dislike you. Man, that show was great before it went up it's own ass.)
Or maybe it's just what Miyazaki said, the problem is that these stories are being created by people (otaku) who don't like looking at other people. They like looking at anime characters.
