Ramen please explain to me how does Narusasu and SS are the same thing, as much as I hate Narusasu at least it's fleshed out during the whole manga with tons of flashbacks and Naruto can stand up to Sasuke. SS on the contrary is never fleshed out beyond Sakura's shallow feelings, even Sakura's flashback is of her fangirling about Sasuke while Sasuke is completely apathetic, there's nothing from Sasuke's side during the whole part 2 while for Narusasu you can see how much Naruto affects him.
Sure, as a hater of all SN/SS/SK I don't see the difference of these three. Sasuke was shown to care for Naruto/Sakura/Karin at one point of his life and disregard them at another. The only person who really affected Sasuke and changed him was Itachi. The others are second-handed bonds compared to that. And you might argue about chapter 698, but to me chapters from 670 or so onward are asspulls after asspulls so I don't count them as canon "developments". But that's just me. I can't speak for the NARUTO fandom in Japan so feel free to disagree.
Sasuke treats Sakura like horsehit and Sakura doesnt even stand up to him even one time but thats okay because the 2 are main characters wow.
Stop putting words in my mouth. I said that ppl were okay with chapter 699 and 700 and the pairings. However, they started to hate only on NH because a NH-focused movie destroyed the story. They are okay with the pairings, or should I say, indifferent? It has nothing to do with them being main characters, but more to do with how people don't give a kitten about pairings.
As for the "coolest guy" comment are you telling me people over there accepts it ?
No. That was me pointing the double standards of the NS forum here. People here were alright with Naruto calling Obito a "cool guy", after he killed his parents, killed his friend and did a whole mass-murdering. And yet, these guys can't stand people being alright with Sakura forgiving Sasuke, when Sasuke has done something far less worse than what Obito did. That's what I call a double-standard.
But I shouldn't be surprised after all a kitten character like Sasuke is the most popular over there.
Good to know you view Sasuke as "kitten". Although, I don't share your opinion until chapter 698, now I do.
I may dislike NH but it doesnt compare to how disgusting SS is, if thats the japanese's fandom view then I don't want anything to do with them, that an abusive relationship based on shallow feelings is deemed ok completely conflicts with my values (and any sane person's values for that matter).
I think it's quite alright for you to have your own opinion and get together with people who share your opinion. As long as you don't be judgemental and insult a fandom because they are indifferent to an anime couple/don't share your opinion on hating it all is good.
It seems to me that most of these people are kittening about why their personal's favorite didnt get more screentime instead of why the story failed on every level and is inconsistent and incoherent with what was written beforehand while not providing any answers to the important plot points and leaving plotholes left and right.
Did you read my previous posts on how they were mad about the movie because it destroyed the manga?
Edit: Forget it.
