1. Money doesn't seem to be enough of an issue seeing how people keep buying the kitten Naruto games and they keep making more Naruto crap (despite how "unpopular" many claim it is now), the kitten volumes, and buying the cheap crap....hell, a guy made how much from a stupid potato salad recipe? What the hell? So obviously people have money to spare and they justt don't want to support it.
2. That is why I ask why do we give up so easily?
3. Again, these breaks so many copyrights and doesn't attempt to even hide that fact and yet it is STILL being made. So I am sure that we can come up with something to "bypass" this issue.
As for the rest of the rant....well, all I keep thinking is why the hell are apparently gay couples and abuse couples getting so damn popular? I just don't kittening get it.
Apparently, rape, abuse, and murder is considered sexy meanwhile being nice, sweet, and a gentleman is considered sexism
HAS THE WHOLE WORLD GONE MAD?!!!!!!
Tell me about it:
I like Cloud and Tifa, everyone else loves Cloud and Aeris.
I love NaruSaku, everyone else loves NH or SNS
I love Superman and Wonder Women, everyone else loves Batman and Wonder Women
I like Saitama and Fubuki...everyone else likes Saitama and Tatsumaki
I like Takashi and Saeko...everyone else wants Takashi and Rei...
I CAN'T WIN.
The only couple that I liked and it became canon was Squall and Rinoa, but it doesn't even count since it was basically a pre-planned pairing. I sort of count the same with Katara and Aang since while fans like Zutara, even the authors said it was never planned nor was it their intentions...so that one was kind of made up with the fanbase to which they sort of made fun of.
I guess also technically Superman and Wonder Women too, but then people are screaming for them to break up forever and have Clark with Lois....and they are probably going to get their way
Copyright will always be an issue for us, compared to NH/SNS:
1. It involves people who hate Sakura.
2. It involves people who hate NS.
3. Rabid NH shippers who can declare copyright just to ruin our happiness.
When has Sakura ever been respected enough as a heroine under SP/SJ compared to Hinata? Have you seen how she's been treated this past year, and even before. The last great Sakura/ NS fanservice was RtN, and even so Sakura's character had to regress because plot. There was a reason why Sakura remained such a hated character, and SP could have made tons of plot stories so Sakura would still be liked. But as of current filler, maybe they aren't as creative as one thinks.
Anyway, throughout the anime, Sakura has always been treated as a joke (a overly agressive and rude heroine who is bitter that other females like Hinata and filler females in Naruto movies take her role as heroine) compared to Hinata (according to SP: ((okatu voice)) the female, who also like Naruto, never gave up her dream of being with Naruto...she has a tragic past, but she still holds on to the boy she loves...she also had soft, huge breast and a curvy body underneath those heavy clothing that need to be let out, extremely submissive and willing to bow down hand and foot, never talk back, yet can kick some decent butt...yada,yada). Now who do you think people would prefer? Of course Sakura for us, but we aren't the majority are we?
Hinata has filler anime dedicated to her and her love for Naruto, in games she had her own filler moveset that changes when the moveset involves Naruto; hell, even in storm two, when you involve Naruto/Hinata, they are called "secret lovers". Now you have the lastest game in which Hinata actually takes a part of the opening as a main character, which never happened before. She also has a special moveset with the Hyuuga family and Naruto. And a special moment from extras that include NH.
When has Sakura received treatment like that? I recall a Naruto/Sakura, Chiyo/Sakura moveset long ago, but the was also Naruto/ others including Hinata which made it meaningless...also the combo was comedic. When was there any dedicatation towards Sakura now? She has the same moveset since last game, she only partakes in a T7 combo, and she is still acting as cupid for NH in extra scenes.
Gaiden shat on Sakura, the novels shat on Sakura, and she's even been regressed as a secondary character, which is a feat for what once was a main heroine.
LadyGT's After the War has been removed on pixiv due to copyright, yet a obvious SNS CD manages to bypass all. Because it's SNS. We have to get the permission from the Studio, and let's be honest here they don't like Sakura/NS/SS. They do not like Sakura to the point where they refuse SS fanservice, which is another feat considering that SS is also a popular ship in JP/ West. So convincing SP that they would get money is pointless...
Which is why the fandom "gave up". Why try when the Studio/ Hinata wankers are only going to deny, make sure we get nothing out of it. We can attempt an AU, but you will very soon have NH on your backs calling copyright, and we would have to stop production. Or we can succeed but very soon have a NH AU, just for the sake of spite and harassment, and the NS AU loses purpose and became another weapon of "battle". Some people rather move on.
Losing people means losing money. Having the AU costs a lot of money...we have to pay for the VAs time, advertisements, and to companies/ markets that will sell it. BL is popular as is in JP, let alone SNS, so of course this is an extreme money maker and people are willing to contributions because they'll get back there due's. We are making a hetero CD, for a pairing that is only losing in popularity. People won't be as dedicated to help out or contribute because of risks and spite shippers. If we had thought of this right after the ending we would have more of a chance of getting an AU. But too many had left, both in the West and JP. SNS has just came of high from the Boruto movie abd had only increased in popularity.
Sorry for the extensive rant again!
For this to work we need the approval of SP, we need NH/ anti-Sakura/NS to actually lose popularity, and we need more NS supporters. Finding NS supporters isn't an issue, but NH and SP are main problems. SNS had no trouble because they don't have haters; everyone acknowledges that SNS is pretty much the main ship of the series. NS has haters from all sides, most specifically NH/SS and some SNS, anyone who is anti-NS and that sadly includes SP.
We will have a harder time getting an AU.
I agree with rest of what you had said,
