Never forget when a nerd from my high school when I was 17 and he was 16 or so said "women can't write shonen" and then two minutes later he said his favorite anime/manga was Fullmetal Alchemist. Never forget his face when my friend and I told him to check out who the author of that manga was. Never forget

I'll be going through my day, completely unbothered when I'm hit by the realisation that Naruto DID do all that for sasuke. he did sacrifice his dignity, his life and his soul just so sasuke can find peace. whatever our souls are made of, his and mine ARE the same

why use makeup and high heels to strike fear into the hearts of men when just existing as an autonomous person with your own thoughts and feelings is the most terrifying thing any man can imagine

Do you ever think about how Sasuke sacrificed himself to save Naruto in Land of Waves, and with this, he was sacrificing his goal to avenge his clan?

And then Naruto was willing to sacrifice his life for Sasuke, so they could die together, sacrificing his goal of becoming Hokage too?

Do you think about all of this at 12:30 am or are you normal?

the sexism in naruto is actually so crazy and all encompassing. every female character is defined by her relationship to men. the majority are boy-crazy. and it’s constantly remarked upon how weak they are when compared to their male teammates.

not only that but the main male characters actively dislike the women they’ve been paired off with. shikamaru is into temari but his infinite dream is not having to marry her. sai ends up with ino despite finding her ugly. naruto thinks hinata is weird and boring. sasuke’s dislike of sakura is infamous.

adult men’s interest in women is seen as comical and alien. (reactions to the sexy jutsu, jiraiya harassing women). almost all of the adult men are perpetual bachelors or sex perverts (and those who aren’t are stand ins for “mom and dad”).

when boys actually do like girls, it’s to show goofy immaturity and innocence (naruto’s crush on sakura that he grows out of as he reaches maturity, lee’s crush which is dropped entirely, obitos crush on rin which lasts into adulthood just to show he isn’t entirely separate from the boy he once was)

the whole ninja society likes to imagine it is a mostly gender blind world where women can thrive but this is SO obviously untrue. women are almost always healers and support. women make up less than 1/3 of the ninjas even at genin level. girls are almost all desperate to become wives and earn the attention of boys who don’t even like them!

mikoto uchiha was a jonin and presumably directly descended from the uchiha line (based on characters commenting that she/sasuke look just like izuna uchiha), but we only ever see her retired and raising her sons while her husband gets to be clan leader. (why?? if he married into the main family and she is an extremely capable ninja??)

similarly kushina uzumaki is borderline royalty and a jinchuriki, but her husband is hokage. once again the mother carries on the burden of power (for her sons to inherit) but the father has the title and status.

even the backstory of ninja enforces this. kaguya literally ate the forbidden fruit, giving the gift of chakra to all of humanity but also dooming them to fight for eternity. literally womens original sin …

anyway it’s not that all this sexist shit is in the story. it’s that kishimoto seemingly has no idea it’s there and believes the women he writes have epic girl power. how do you even do this by accident. why does every boy hate their wife. why did kaguya commit the original sin ! the girl characters want so badly to be with a boy but they don’t even care that the boy doesn’t like them back!! sakura and hinata are in loveless marriages of obligation and THEY DONT EVEN CARE??? they’re into it??? does kishimoto think men are universally forced to marry women they don’t like? does he blame women for this?WHY IS THE ORIGINAL SIN DRIVING THE BUS ALL THE SUDDEN?

why do i see ppl saying the sexy jutsu bit is naruto subconsciously wanting attention from men fucking whaaat like A) in context we are almost always talking about a 12 year old thats soooo goddamn weird B) its obviously making fun of the men who do react to it. like even in-universe its straight up a prank and a parody of what kid naruto thinks creepy loser weirdos want out of women. he is making fun of adults bc he thinks theyre stupid

[bluebobatea]

the thing about naruto’s savior complex is that it’s such a survival instinct for him. his father made him the jinchuriki when he was a baby because he believed he would save the world. his teacher taught him because he believed him was the child of the prophecy. everyone only likes him and treats him kindly after he saves them. how can he not feel he has to save everyone when that’s all the reason he’s allowed to exists in the first place. the only thing he allows himself to be selfish and put above his duty to be the world’s hero is sasuke. thus why his savior complex and sasuke’s savior complex are actually very different polar opposites that sometimes clash and have him scrambling

I love Sasuke for this. HE HAS A FUCKING POINT. And Kakashi knows the truth at this point... makes me so mad. Sasuke wants justice. even more, sasuke just wants them back...

[bluebobatea]

You heard it here, folks.
