I'm sorry, I hope this isn't rude, but there are parts of this debate that are pointless.

I'm sorry but none of the ships made sense in the end. This includes NaruSaku.

If NaruSaku had remotely made sense, why is the fandom so split then? Why are are we so widely divided between NaruSaku vs. NaruHina and SasuSaku?

I agree with Analyzer, in a sense.

For me, Kishi's biggest mistake was the love triangle. It was prolonged to the point where every ship had a chance for credible endgame.

At the top of my head, I can recall three points where NaruSaku had the opportunity to be "endgame" without actually being endgame.

Both NaruHina and SasuSaku aren't some loud minority; there is a reason why the NaruHina fandom suddenly grew in size after 436 and 615, and why SasuSaku remained dominate even with Part 2. Kishi gave them ammo just like he gave us ammo with NaruSaku.

I'm really not seeing how someone who only kept track for self inserts or to see who hinata ended up with is as much a true fan as people who actually care about the series,  that's your view on what a "true fan is", but I don't consider otakus who only support a pairing for their perverted fantasies "true fans" or people who only care about a single character ending up with a main character treating that unrealistic side character like a goddess and disregarding the main character's feelings or any other character, only obsessing over that one  side character. I really don't see how that means that they care about the actual series and not just the character and their fantasies, but whatever floats your boat

No, I meant that there opinions are weighted just as much as yours, whether you agree or disagree. Whether you like it or not. Like I said, Naruto was meant to appeal everyone, not a particular set of fans. The Naruto Franchise doesn't care whether or not you're a true fan. Unfortunatly we share an opinion that isn't popular with everyone.

@ NeonRanger :
 
You're right about everything concerning the fandom and that Analyzer has the freedom to speak and say her opinion however she likes.
 
I'm a realistic and equitable person, so before I proceed with what I want to say, have you read all of her posts or at least most of her posts ?

I read most of her posts, but I disagree with some. But that involves an essay, and I don't want to get into it really. Sorry, I feel like people misunderstood my post. I mean you are absolutely right, people have the freedom to voice an opinion. But my comment was mainly referring to how quickly some disown her as not being a NaruSaku fan for sharing unlikeable opinions.

Like I mention above her comments, before moderators intervene, most of the time seems condescending...I don't like that.

@ ultranx: no, I'm not taking about you. I'm referring to the meaning of a "true fan". The whole " true fan" is fantasy. There is no set "true fan". You are a true fan whether you spend one year into Naruto or fifteen years. You are a true fan whether you are only in it for the pairing or for the plot. You are no longer a true fan if you call the shots and decide for others whether or not they are a true fan. Naruto was meant to appeal to everyone. Sadly, not everyone had a set opinion, in fact I'm shock with how divided opinions are in this fandom. But we are all true fans.

My issue was mostly how other questioning Analyzer as a NaruSaku fan because she has unpopular opinions. I can't judge because she could just be another troll who talks behind our backs again. But I feel it's unfair that you question if she is a true fan because you don't like her opinion.

Like I mention before, we wouldn't be so divided if the story was consistent.

Sorry if you believe I was trying to insult you, I didn't meant that.

Based on the kind of comments I was reading in the "What if Naruto married Sakura" video, the Naruto fandom is mostly kool-aid drinking cancer at this point. Pathetic and disgusting comments all around. As a result, Boruto is not the series the Naruto fandom needs, but the one it deserves.

I don't understand how Naruto getting with Sakura is some sort of death wish for his character. Edit: I watch the vid, too.
