Was that chapter really viewed negatively among SasuSaku shippers? I never really got the chance to see the fallout on the regular Naruto forums.
From what I gathered, people were lashing out and coming up with all sorts of crazy theories and headcanons in an attempt to make the ship look better. With the raws/viz translation now I am seeing more of the same, only with heightened venom and arrogance.
Suddenly everyone is now saying Viz is incorrect when not too long ago they defended Viz translations as it fit their agenda better. For all the faults Viz has, this was one of the translations they got mostly right as it lined up somewhat with the raw.
It's always been like this though. I came into the scene in 2006 and even then there was a visceral hatred for NaruSaku. Frequently saw countless members get ganged up on in debates on NF, regular negs and in general was just a kitten place to be in.
Whats funny is how not too long ago they claimed anti-fans would do that when from where I was standing, anti narusaku fans (who most happened to NH/SS fans) were always the aggressors.
Be prepared for even more hate should NS become canon.
And I told you guys to take that tweet with a grain of salt. :/
