I thought the poster was talking about otaku males/females, not Japanese males and females in general. :/
But yea, I heard there's no time to get married and have kids cause you guys just work your asses off...
I even heard the government is spending more on the elders than on babies(because there's a lot of elder, but not many babies being born), is that true?

How bad is it? They're stalking you or they convert to NS fans?

 

They're not stalking me. Initially, many of them followed me when I posted that interview.- My fault, I put too many tags under that interview.

Now, most new NH and SS fans follow me b/c I'm a fan of many other mangas and animes. Kind of weird how I ship something that other NH and SS also ship, such as Touken. Makes me sick tbh how our tastes can differ so drastically with Naruto, but not in other animes and mangas.

xpopurix, so... how is your exams?

I start feeling afraid of you now   asking exams and my assignments like what should parents do 

 

But.. I have done 5 out of 10 exams, included the exam that I should have taken on its schedule (couldn't attend it since I was ill)

[TouKen4Life3g]

I once asked one of my friends if he was into Naruto and he told me to watch better anime and that it attracts the wrong kind of fans.

Pretty much.

[Popuri]

I'm pm it! Or you could go to My followers lol

But I'm not gonna be able to differentiate which one is NH/SS fan. Are they so obvious?

I know this feels  Anyway, what interview? Kishi's? Which one? Can't open any tumblr right now, it will takes long time. Internet is being so-so

That interview is old. It's basically the one that was shown on December the 12th or so in which Kishi stated that Neji was simply acting as a cupid.

Don't apologize, it was pretty insensitive you have a right to defend yourself.
 
The poster needs to understand the concept of Karoshi 過労死 and Inemuri 居眠り before she can make generalizing statements about the Japanese. 
 
Or better yet just keep her mouth shut about ethnic profiling altogether.

Thanks. I actually deleted the post because I didn't want to ruin the atmosphere here.

But yeah, I didn't like the stereotyping.

@TheMagicConch
She was talking about how women can't marry men in result of the otaku culture. Otakus are only a minority in Japan. If she wasn't stereotyping the men who're not married as otakus that sentence has no meaning because the real otakus are such a minority.

And yeah, guys just don't have time to date, marry, and make kids. And many guys prefer to do their hobbies in their precious little time than finding a wife.

Regarding the government spending it's true. And it's annoying! They're using a whole lot of money on useless old people who're responsible of Japan's downfall and living a luxurious life from their monthly pension, while they expect us young ones to work day and night so we can pay the taxes to support their pensions. New laws are made to legalize more working hours. Japanese politicians aren't going to change that because the population of useless old people are much higher than the younger ones and they need more votes.

I was thinking about getting Storm 4, but the back to back teases they're giving out to NH/SS is making me nervous for anything extra they might put in the game.

It looks cool, but selling out to the dumb canon is a bad idea. =(

[NarutoUzumaki01]

Ughhh I feel you. I don't take someone seriously if they ship Touken but ship NH/SS. I went into the Nalu tag and saw NH/SS grouped with Touken, Nalu, Ichiruki/Ichihime, Gruvia, Jerza, Jiratsu, Obirin, MinaKushi... I wanted to hurl. The delusion levels are so high... Then I saw some hardcore NH/SS fan post  some Nalu moments and say "And they call Nalu just a friendship"

 

 

I just... I just don't get it.  

Hate for Sakura that's it.

Yeah, I'm actually about to take a class on Japanese politics so I did some background research. I was pretty shocked by the amount of money spent on senior citizen care. That's a tough issue to tackle though. On one hand you need to take care of the next generation and ensure that your population is growing. But on the other hand to some people there is a moral obligation to help the elderly.

 

Though what about the women. Do they even want to get married or are they just as busy as you say the men are?

NH fanart is everywhere in pixiv....I'm used SS, NS and Team 7....now it became NH with SS...it bugs me

Naruto can't continue without him. Unless he has no backbone (which looking at his interviews, he has none of), he should have taken a 2-3 week break to get back into things. Naruto isn't even the #1 selling manga, lol. I think that's One Piece and Naruto was 5th last year? After tying up the war arc and preparing for another arc (most likely the Sasuke revolution arc), he could have taken a break right after completing the war arc. Like you said I'm not sure how well that'd sit with WSJ, but they could have made it into a big event. Something like announcing "The comback of Naruto!! The last arc!" and showing the everyone preparing for the upcoming BS.

 

The health of the author should come first. I would have demanded a break if I was feeling down. Don't they notice to decline in art quality? I mean look at "The Rest" cover. The art is terrible. I guess he just didn't care anymore. There's absolutely no way this was what he intended, lol. Nope.

He should have taken a year off if that was what he needed, but like you he really has no backbone. That's probably the reason why all this happened in the first place. 

 

No backbone + limited exposure to the fandom = disaster

 

I agree. From what I understand it's not unusual for a mangaka to take extended breaks. It doesn't have to be for a good reason, just because they feel like it. Kishi should have taken a break after finishing the war arc and then continued with the Sasuke Revolution arc. Like you said, WSJ could totally have used his absence to build hype like "The revolution begins!" or "Witness the rebirth of Otogakureorsomevariationthereof!".

 

I might be in denial, but I simply refuse to believe that Kishi has to little respect for his own creation that this ending is what he always intended. I think that in the end, the stress got the better of him and he simply didn't have the strength to fight back against WSJ and SP.

I wouldn't get it. The Storm games have been going downhill ever since Ultimate ninja storm 2. The Story's always solid but they keep ripping out features like button mash clashes to reverse ultimate moves, fighting on walls, jutsu clashes, etc.

 

Even the small things like jumping and climbing around konoha, special dialogue during fights when you choose certain characters, leveling up characters' stats.

Yeah, part 3 wasn't all that good or better. It's same old game with further story mode. I just find it insane to have an hour boss fight. What? But other than that, it's the same with one combo chain deleted. Odd.

I was in the Touken tag and saw a post with a bunch of different pairings like Touken, NaLu, etc along with NH and SS. It legit made me angry seeing that. Immediately left the tag lol

How many the work hour for Japanese job?

[Narufan85]

The Naruto fandom is literally the worst group of fans that I've ever encountered, not just limited to manga fans. From sports, to music, tow whatever, Naruto literally has the worst fans. The fandom is filled with apologists, hypocrites, and people with no sense of accountability, that would rather see their pairing come true and have the story wrecked, than see an actual story. By far the worst group of fans ice ever encountered.
H&E excluded of course.

Out of likes.
