This is a little too far.
Thats why SS fans never was friendly and despise NS fans like they do with Naruto Fanboys. They hates be judged as a persons because their preferences over a fictional pairing. They have Sasuke/Sakura as a favorites characters and consider their moments and the appeal better than NS.
I'm only calling delusional people who thinks the franchise went into decline because NaruSaku died or thinks NaruSaku was the peak of sales. The current Naruto fandom and Sakura fandom couldn't care less about NaruSaku... Most of the Boruto complains are about the kitten story, battles, poor story pacing,alliens and Sasuke/Naruto nerfs.
Honestly if you people wanted some type of discussion in this forum it's better to accept contrary opinions. Not Just:
"Sakura was ruinned"
"SasuSaku is abusive and their fans sick people"
"Boruto is bad and Kishimoto is ruinned because Naruto didn't got Sakura at the end"
"Hinata ruined the series"
At least the Hinata popularity ghost proved wrong now. 
Some few Sakura Fans from NS side are still alive. But now they are inside SS fandom , multishipping SS and helping SS fans to hate Hinata... if one of these "NS fans" dares to call Sakura a fangirl, stupid for loving Sasuke over Naruto or SasuSaku abusive like in this forum. They are simply expelled/canceled from the Fandom and more attacked than Hinatards and Naruto Fanboys.
SS has thousends of contents, fanarts, SS Artists and pages with 20/40/50/100K of followers etc.
Most the NS artists and content simply stopped after 2014. LadyGT the most famous NS artist simply abandoned Naruto. I only see ChatteGeorgiana and some few small NaruSaku pages and when they dare to criticize SasuSaku. SS fans come in mass to attack them. SS fandom still has plenty of Hatred against NS fans who call SS abusive.
Most of the "pure blood" NaruSaku fans simply moved on, doesn't care about the series or even hates Sakura. Sakura is ruinned and the series is dead to them. I know that because Sakura received a massive hate back in 2014/2015 in this forum and most of these NS fans abandoned the series and the forum.
"Just because you're a fan of Sakura doesn't mean you have to follow a kitten cashgrab after an equally sloppy and disgusting ending. Read. Other. Things. Turn to fanfiction. Don't throw money into a trashcan."
I think hard to believe the few old NaruSaku fans helped too much in this votation when is very hard to to find them outside here. But SasuSaku fandom have help from Sasuke fans, female fans and some trolls in One Piece Fandom.
Meant to post this a few days sooner, but was busy so posting it now.
Don't act like ss fans are Saints or victims in all this. They haven't all been friendly with us ethier and they teamed up with a fandom that dispised sakura just because they saw our ship as the bigger threat. Despite our warnings they teaming up with them and allowing them bash us would reduce Sakura's role and staus as a heroine, which it did. You have them judging us as well acusing us of on only supporting ns because naruto is an entitled nice guy, when most of us just like the characters together and feel they treat eachother better. Or they have gall to call our ship abusive because sakura punches naruto, when that is just typical tsundere humour in anime and they ship literally had sasuke try to kill her multiple times.
No one was saying that narusaku was the majority of the fandome or the sole reason why the series went into decline, but making nh and ss canon and the way did it help start the whole decline. Also the naruto fandom isn't what it was before it is much smaller and the bad writing decisions now that you are listing is only going to make it smaller.
Nobody is saying they don't want discussions or against different opinions, however going on about how we shouldn't trash ss because its popular isn't going to an opinion well liked here. As well as telling we need to accept its canon so we can enjoy future content with sakura in it, when it its clear we aren't going to do that.
None us think the ending or canon ships are good so you are bond to get similar views on those subjects are discussed, there might be some disagreements of when the series went bad but that it. However that is not always discussed here as there are other threads for debates on etheir the naruto series or outside it if you look. Who knows the minato manga might actually add something positive to discuss in naruto for all we know.
Yes hianta popularity has been exposed to have been overrated, still doesn't mean that ss is good.
Yes there some that flipped to ss just because they became canon, however most of us did not and won't switch just because it canon or its fanbase has become bigger. I don't care what they do if someone critises there ship, not going to change how I or other feel about it here.
The quantity of the fan fic and fanart ss has does not change the problems with the canon writing of the ss ship has. Yes many ns artists and fans left naruto after the series ended, understandable given what happened. Doesnt mean those that are still around don't enjoy it regardless of the size, which is al9t more bigger than you think with some coming back to celebrate events like April 3rd.
Like I said we don't care if we get attacked by ss fans or troll like khon won't change are mind about the problems with have with the ss. Heck we aren't the only fandom within naruto that does, though I see plenty of them jumping to conclusions that it's always ns when that's not the case.
I hardly saw anyone on these forums hate or dislike sakura, at best 1 or 2 people. Most narusaku fans are sakura fans first that don't ship ss and hate its writing. They are more likely to critise that than the character herself.
Then clearly you aren't looking in the right places because I knew quite a fews fans from narusaku that did vote for her. She probably would of gotten more votes from them if not for the worry of the one shot being another bad ss story.
I can agree. SS was beyond any repair if Sasuke tried to harm Sakura in Part 1, during the War and as Adults.
They weren't in a relationship during Kage Summit.
Sasuke wasn't mentally sane in the arc. Sakura was the one who hunted Sasuke to "free Naruto from the promisse".
If Sakura stayed at Konoha or didn't have that stupid plan to kill him, Sasuke never will come closer to her. Both SS/NS and Sakura's characters were destroyed in Kage Summit. But NS was much more hated in Japan because fake confession and SS fans managed to retain their fanbase and popularity from part 1 also they always have plenty of confidence in Sasuke's return...
You should have abondoned the series when a serial killer like Gaara become the president of his country, a genocide and child abuser like Itachi becomed the "Hero", Neji tortured and almost Killed Hinata in part 1 or even better Obito the Minato and Kushina's killer becomed the "coolest guy" for Naruto.
Sasuke's redemption was destinated to happen and SasuSaku will have some conclusion. Sasuke and Sakura never will end the story as enemies and Sakura sad with him. I agree Kishimoto coud work far better at this instead of rush everything in 699 or make NaruSaku instead of SS.
At this point the only content envolving Sakura are related to Sarada or SS. So if you really hates SasuSaku and any type of material who tries to fix their relationship like novels, Retsuden and Anime Moments and only wants to see Sakura with Nardo. There's nothing to do anymore. Sakura's character is really dead for you.
Unless a NaruSaku reboots comes out.
At least she isn't the housewife who gave up her Kunoichi life and medical work like so many people bashed her when the 700 chapter comes out with Sakura using a apron. She is still capable to balance the housewife work with the hospital/Missions.
Even if you don't include the kage summit there is still alot of problematic things with ss even in part 1. Post ending is way too absent in her life to be believable that they are married. War arc he gave no care for sakura or her wellbeing, didn't is she lived or not, said she was useless multiple times and 693 is no way good. Part 1 while yes should some care, he mostly found her annoying and rejected her.
Sasuke mental state is no exuses regardless if it was sakura, karin naruto or anyone else. What little choice did sakura feel at the time when sasuke was a part of the terrorist organisation that was hunting down naruto and tried to destroy the village. Not to mention sasuke was planing to kill everyone.
Everything I hear from Japan that narusaku was considered the golden paring the one execpted to be canon. So even if it did get some negative reaction to the confession it wouldn't have been a problem in the long run and got addressed.
Also the popularity of ss does not exuse the crap sasuke sis to sakura which was worse than anything the confession did or did not.
Just because something is considered popular doesn't make it good, like reylo from star wars popular ship but hated outside its fanbase or in politics you one politician popular with his/her voting base but hated by the genreal public and can't win an election.
Not everyone like the writing of these characters (though I think gara and nejiare alright, itachi got too much hero worship and should of been called out and not a fan of naruto saying that about obito), but they weren't enter into any romantic relationship with the people they abused unlike ss.
Just because sasuke wasn't going to be evil in the end doesn't mean he should of gotten with sakura. If you know 699 wasn't good and narusaku should of happened, don't defend sasusaku's bad writing.
There is so much you can do with sakura's character not involving ss and sadara, like with tsunade, ino, naruto, sai, kakashi and lee characters she has bonds with etc. Also frankly all that material none of it addresses the problematic aspects of their relationship and in some cases makes it worse, we just get cringe material.
I'd be open up to a naruto reboot or alternative ending with ns, as long as Ikemoto is not writing it and Kishimoto or whoever actually puts care into the work.
We rarely see her do that and only see her do that stuff in spin off material, why do you think so many got angry, not everyone is going to read it so 700 was the lasting impression which is not good.

Listen, Its not my job to hook you up with communities, do the research yourself but you're really likely to get booted from those servers if you play in there like you are here.
