Kakashi on the other hand did not say anything showing that he did not care. Consider their exchange. Kakashi tells Rin that Obito loved him. Then Rin says, "Then Kakashi my feelings." And then he calls himself trash. Kakashi just told Rin that Obito loved her. Why would she tell him her feelings for him? Because she is saying that despite Obito's feelings she does not want Obito, she wants Kakashi. But, if Obito's feelings for Rin are the reason Kakashi turns her down, or if Kakashi doesn't feel the same why does he simply not say so? Why does he call himself scum? Trash? Because he feels that he doesn't deserve her. Which means that he does have similar feelings for her.
Anyway i'll just respond to that and put my views and yes i read your entire post.
It's doesnt make any sense, it's the same as saying that Sakura truly loves Naruto because she felt unworthy of Naruto's feelings on the summit and you know very well that she loved Sasuke back then.
About Sasuke and Sakura
Sasuke did tried to kill her, Sasuke did bad things to her yes and Kakashi betrayed her, Kakashi was going to leave her behind if wasnt Obito and god knows what would those freaks have done to her while she thinking that Kakashi would save her mounted on a white horse, it's not a matter of feelings unworthy but a matter of doing the right thing, if Kakashi had feelings for her, Kishi would have certainly showed off, he felt more Obito's death way more than Rin's, he did care about Rin but i never pointed out that he doesnt, i dont get from where you picked up this.
Kaka/Rin is similar to Sasu/Saku, kishi showed both Sasuke and Kakashi as guys that those girls doesnt deserve, both of them did horrible things to the girls, both of them are depicted as some sort of obstacle on their lives, obth of them are used to show that you should not love a guy because he's cool or strong but because of their personality and the things they do to her and it's enforced by kakashi's reply and Sakura get 540 with Sai telling her that naruto loved her, both of them leads to the same purpose.
The purpose of moving on.
Opened her eyes
Rin didnt stated it, it was Obito and was kind of understandable he doing that kind of statement becasue like Naruto he believe she loved only Kakashi, that was the reason he dropped his confession anyway, and most importantly, when she died she didnt smiled and neither even said something to Kakashi, if you're going to die at the hands of your loved one why you wont make any kind of last words or at least smile.
Kishi let the whole Rin thing open, i believe she loved Kakashi yet because it wasnt show that she loves Obito but cant forgot serious strong hints that was left behind like on the end of Kakashi Gaiden it was show her looking at the stars, and the fact that Kakashi's quote was meant for her to move on.
Sakura is also into this, she still loves Sasuke until she states that she doesnt love him anymore or that she loves Naruto.
Kakashi and Sasuke
No it's not, Sasuke's development is not done and you know it very well, both Sasuke and Kakashi are guys who does dirty stuff, the fact that Sasuke is still on another path doesnt make their parallel weaker, they both have so many similarities and their story is also tied equally in some parts.
He was like sasuke outrightly going to kill Obito.
Both Kakashi and Sasuke understands their friends and cares more about them, just look at how Sasuke relate to Naruto.
The last paragraph
" backed them up sufficiently with evidence and logic that doesn't include "Your views are completely ridiculous.""
i'll reply with this "Because he feels that he doesn't deserve her. Which means that he does have similar feelings for her."
And you bought up panels like 607 which doesnt prove nothing other than that he cares about her which i stated million of times.
Because of this i can pick up 613 and say that Naruto will return Hinata's feelings because he cares about her.
It's like picking up the panel where Sakura calls Naruto a fool for loving her and claim that Sakura does have the same feelings Naruto has for her, instead of picking up panels like the hug, or the bridge scene.
As Shadow1275 clearly points out, the details between Kakashi and Rin are not the same as those between Sasuke and Sakura. The circumstances are different, and Kakashi's words and actions toward Rin are different in tone and meaning than Sasuke's words and actions toward Sakura. Your claims of flawed logic and double standards are invalidated by the fact that the two situations are NOT THE SAME. The so-called "parallels" are not all that parallel, and in my opinion this is one of the ways that the dynamic of Team Minato was different than Team 7.
I accept that you hold a very specific, very black and white interpretation of all this and that's cool. I'm honestly not interested in trying to change your mind -- especially not when you label my views "completely ridiculous."
1 -> Team 7 and Minato dynamic.
Was the same, obvious some little things are different much like Jiraiya's team had too.
But they set up same things like
Love : Naruto/Sakura/Sasuke Obito/Rin/Kakashi
Similar dinamics while pass the very same resolution, Rin should value herself and be with a better guy, and that she should not love the guy just because he's cool or a strong ninja but based on other values.
Nakama : Naruto and Sasuke with Obito and Kakashi
I dont need to explain this.
Teacher : the whole i'll protect my students and etc...
Kishi uses parallels as some sort of to point out the flaws, and the next generation is meant to surpass it.
Dream : Peace Hokage.
2 - "Your claims of flawed logic and double standards are invalidated by the fact that the two situations are NOT THE SAME. "
i'm not the one who's doing double standards, the ones are you and shadow using the whole "he feels that he doesnt deserve her, then Kakashi feels the same way".
Letting behind implying that Sasuke also might have feelings for Sakura becuase he literally did the very same thing, no matter how you try to nitpick, the reject is almost the same, with different excuse, it would be different if Sasuke said "i dont love you Sakura" but not.
It's the same thing as saying Sasuke would certainly return Sakura's feelings if he wasnt an avenger, it's the very same argument SS uses to say that SS will be canon at the end of the manga and you guys use this argument to argue that Kakashi had feelings for Rin.
This is what i dont understand.
3-"I accept that you hold a very specific, very black and white interpretation of all this and that's cool. I'm honestly not interested in trying to change your mind -- especially not when you label my views "completely ridiculous.""
Am i being simplist? Am i the one briging up panels where Kakashi cares about Rin which i stated millions of times and you guys simply ignore it by saying those stuff and then come saying "doesnt simply label my views as ridiculous" i point out some very very strong double standards that you guys are commiting and you doesnt even respond like completely ignoring, i simply demanded a panel where Kakashi shows he feels the same way towards Rin and you guys came with this.
"Because he feels that he doesn't deserve her. Which means that he does have similar feelings for her."
You guys are only proving that Kakashi cares about Rin a topic that is not being discussed.
