Girl...don't get me started....

Exactly, that's why it urks me to no end when I come across Anti-Sakura rants from those pro-end supporting anime reviewers on Youtube. (I forgot their names, nor do I care to remember them.) Especially back when the original manga ended. Of course, they wouldn't heavily address the wrongs of the series concerning plot, inconsistencies, regression of everybody, loss of themes, etc. They praise everything else to a certain degree and don't see much of a problem with what happened to Naruto as a whole. Yet, they have such a big problem with Sakura, posting ten minute rants about all of her character inconsistencies and "uselessness" as if SHE was the one who ruined this series. i don't mind criticism of any character and I can agree to some arguments if they are valid, but if SAKURA/NS is the only one you hate on with the same tired arguments, that's when I simply don't trust your point of view and credibility. 

 

They hate Sakura. Yet, they want Hinata to have her qualities (Her determination, her growing of power through hard work, her place in team 7, her slot as main heroine/love interest.) Interesting.

 

Like the time I visited Watchmojo's top 10 anime girls where Sakura was on the list and there were so many Hinata fans whining about her being on the list, instead of Hinata. I'm like, "What??". What did Hinata do as heroine that was so significant that it COMPLETELY outshines Sakura as a heroine, other than her "great love" for Naruto and her "loving" him first? Did Hinata save people (other than Naruto) like Sakura did? Did Hinata change herself for the better for herself, her clan, and OTHER people (other than for Naruto)? I understand Sakura's inconsistencies, Kishimoto's lack of caring, her unhealthy love for Sasuke (In KIshimoto's words) that ruined her character, but the aspect in her early growth was that she cared for people greatly. She was not perfect, but her development involved growing stronger for herself and others and caring for others, Naruto, Sasuke, and her village. She carried the dynamic of Team 7. During the Sakura and Chiyo vs. Sasori arc, Sakura literally took a STABBING for Chiyo! She conducted an antidote that saved Kankuro's life!  In some movie or filler arc, she stopped this caterpillar thing to save a child! She manually pumped the heart of Naruto to save his life! She became a great medical ninja through quiet determination.That is what I call a HEROINE!

 

A heroine, to me, is the mirror of a hero. They struggle, fight, emphasize, change, adapt, and evolve for the betterment of others that they care for. We actively see their developments and growth throughout the story. They earn their strives not through popularity as a character and/or as a last second love interest, but through natural intended story progression.Which is what we saw of Sakura throughout fifteen or so years of the story.

 

Hinata did nothing to amount to that level of selflessness as a character. You don't do heroine like things merely just for a MAN she hardly had interaction with but for the betterment of others! Yet she gets praised as the goddess of this series? That growth Sakura shown in early to mid Shippuden was the REASON why she was on that list back in 2011/2012! That's why I laughed at all the sakura hater comments. Because no matter what, they can't change Sakura's right to be on that list! Her character EARNED that sht, regardless of the ruining of her character towards the end. 

 

If they had to dim Sakura's light so hard just for Hinata to shine, that just means that Sakura was in fact the intended heroine and a main character from the start. Not the side character like Kiba (which is laughable because that is exactly what Hinata is/was.). I'm laughing at Kishimoto right now because this is just ridiculous. 

Not to stir much off topic, but due to all the Sakura hate pandering from Kishimoto's interview and NH feedback, I've always wondered, what do the so called pro SS fans think on the Sakura hate? Are any of them genuinely defending her character? NH fans always favor and defend Hinata as a character, do the SS fans do the same for Sakura? Do you think they truly care about her or do you think they just care for Sakura as a self-insert to get with Sasuke?

^You are an actual princess elishalicious

 

Haha I wish, thank you! ^-^

Just more bs to cover up to please the pro-ending fans, and to convince everyone that they were "right". Too many contradictions/holes in his statements. Very sad.
