It still amazes me that such a large group of the fandom consists of these thought processes yet many either have been proven otherwise and they still don't consider the aspect of NS possible yet they still consider SS as the most likely, regardless NH is in the middle of the big 3 but still very small even though it had a buildable template to become canon.
This is what I mean:
Fandom dismisses everything on NS like the revealation of the nine tails, learning about jinchurki extraction, the 4 tails incident(and aftermath), the "we're getting closer to sasuke together" flashback, the hug, the revealation from Sai, Naruto saving sakura from sasuke, 573, and most recently 630, 631 (both the parallel and advocation to fight), and 662+663. Yet for having the most NH and SS are still bound to happen despite hardly anything coming.
Many say the parallels don't exist yet in the manga, pairng orietned or not, kishi made it a reoccuring writing method of his, the current follower of said ideal is doing something that will work unlike the past. In the pairing oritented ones, the biggest thing I have ever seen in the fandom is the time when every fan was like "oh Sakura isn't like Kushina, its Hinata, thats all you need to know" Despite the obvious dead give away that Sakura and Kushina were similar. Then the storm of 631 occured, practically all fans who followed this basically flipped a table that day in frustration and over such a small simple moment, because they were wrong and we were right as we had been for years, we had evidence and then suddenly the anger of this simple moment was diverted between us, kishi, and the fictional characters. I will never forget the rants on how they say kishi doesn't know what he is doing or how now others say the kushina foreshadow doesn't matter. It became even worse when people tried to make it into something for NH despite them only trying to make a negative out of a short opportune comedic moment that put emphasis on a past foreshadow. Let alone this was the same chapter that shut down pairing sections of fourms on narutobase and narutofourms. Really 631 was like a match dropped into a pit filled with gasoline and gunpowder mixed together, the results were explosive and because people always overreact to stuff at first, its just insane to think how such a simple moment intended for comedy and foreshadow building struck people so much harder than intened. Really this wasn't even the worst, the worst will be for anti-NS fans if Sakura has more feelings for naruto after this situation or if NH is ended on some resolution only as friendship.
Yes its gotten to the point where all this stuff is basically ei
