People are confused by what they don't understand, ignore what they refuse to admit, and rage at what they fear.
This is probably the first time in nearly a year that either the anime or manga have brought up either Sakura or Naruto feelings for each other, and it was brought up as support for BS. Imagine what those jackasses are going through. The pairing they mocked for years is now begin used to support the main pairing of the sequel instead of the two they supported. Now granted some of them didn't mind using in the fandom to show how benevolent they are but this is the actual anime using it. It gotta be driving some of them up a wall, and its hilarious.
Dear God Why!?! Why would read a youtube comment section on an anime video especially a Naruto one?
...Well there could be several reasons: One) An error; the artist that drew it for the episode forgot what Naruto was doing in the iconic picture, Two) to downplay or change Naruto's feeling about Team 7 in someway saying he wasn't as close to team 7 as Sakura claiming him to be, Three) to contradict what Sakura is saying in the episode (remember a lot of the artists that work on Naruto are Hinata fans) in the old picture he looking angrily at Sasuke so he has conflict with Sasuke here he is looking away from the team so he has conflict with both of them, Four) something else.
Black they can't be seen together! Do you not see how that thin skinned fanbase react when Sakura even talks about their bond? If they are in the same scene together those fanatics are going to do more then just have a conniption!
They kind of need to reinforce that BS is the canon pairing not BS, and remember SS is the larger pairing of the two they decided to end Naruto with. If Salad has no relevance in the story then SS has no relevance. As much as I hate to say it, the gaiden arc is probably going to be the most successful arc in Boruto. Since it goal was to please the SS faction of the fanbase. Which from what I have seen it succeeded; for a time. The thing is unless thing have change since I have stop watching. The clone has been mostly irrelevant since the end of the first arc. Even that position they gave her in the manga can be seen as being kicked up stairs.
I was naive! A hopeful stupid hoping to find at least some renmants of sanity between the blackhole of hipocrisy that are the pro-enders!!!
Yeah, they are way too scared to even put Naruto and Sakura in the same room, their chemistry just overshadows everything in this godforsaken series, however, my own little theory is that they put this scene there to please the very little part of the japanese fandom who stumbs upon it, since even most of the comments didn't even paid an inch of their attention to the "we were more than family" line.
Also, by reading your comment Bail, I just noticed that BOTH of the "main parings" for our main character are Bull Shiee, it's just so deliciously ironic, considering what pairings did to this series
