Also the whole "born a wreck" etymology is wrong.

Natalie

Calling Natalie Scatorccio "Italian Jesus" is so funny to me because Natalie means birth, and is derived from the stem Natalis. Which means Christmas day or birth of the Lord, it's not just a fandom joke because of how kind and selfless she is...her name is literally directly related to Jesus, and shes also Italian.

I know it’s not hard to point out reactionaries hypocrisy when it comes to like safe spaces or hug boxes or whatever but genuinely how much of an echo chamber do you have to exist in for you to think this is a reasonable thing to say

DEFENDING SASUSAKU

(argumentative style, nothing personal just easier for me to write in. Please take no offense)

Throughout the series Sasuke has repeatedly risked his life Sakura, been confident in her abilities and given her confidence, as well as be a true friend. He emotionally distanced himself because he a traumatised child who witnessed the genocide of his entire clan, it’s only natural he doesnt want to be buddy buddy with everyone. And his attempt to kill her was only after she attempted to kill him and then herself, don’t forget that. 

Majority of Sasuke’s misdeeds were during his quest for vengeance, and “he hasn't fully repaid the damage he caused” He went to jail, lost his arm, and went on a 2 year journey to redeem himself. Sakura was a highly trained kunoichi taught by Tsuande herself, it would’ve been a mistake to not treat her with the caution needed. 

Lets not forget she wasn't even the only person he tried to kill, but she WAS the only person he apologized to. 

In Boruto, the limited moments do not reinforce this imbalance, if anything it shows that even with time apart they are still happy together. This is a very common trope. His prolonged absences show that he cares about his family, because he left to protect them from the threats outside of the village. If he was a lesser man he would’ve stayed with his family and let it happen anyway. 

He already reflected on his actions, he already went through retribution, hes not the perfect victim but he still deserves happiness. Sasusaku was not a reward for Sakura, it was a relationship they both wanted, Sakura is not a child. She became a strong independent kunoichi and was still strong enough to go after who she wanted and be with them happily, if anything her ending up with a second choice would’ve been a shitty ending. Her development was not cast aside because from the beginning Sasuke was a huge part of her character. She didn’t need a relationship to feel validated or complete, but she ended up in one. And she’s clearly happy so what's the issue? 

Sasuke's punishment for his crimes does not matter at the end of the day that has nothing to do with the ship; but since you brought it up let's talk about it. He was groomed by Orochimaru and if anything you can argue everyone was complicit in Orochimaru's schemes because they didn't lock his ass up in Boruto. Attacking a Kage; when he was mentally unstable and acting on what he thought was vengeance. At the end of the day shinobi are all trained soldiers, they know what that life is like and they should be able to deal with some violence. And he still got that prison sentence! 

He actually did his redemption arc before getting into a relationship with Sakura. And Sakura can make her own choices, she chose Sasuke, he chose her. Your opinion on him does not matter. 

I don't really like SasuSaku

(I don't hate Sasuke, I just my opinion on the relationship , please don't take anything to heart)

As a longtime fan of Sakura Haruno, I have always believed that Sasuke Uchiha did not deserve her. Their relationship is deeply toxic, and while I can appreciate their friendship, Sasuke as a romantic partner was a terrible choice—not just for Sakura, but for anyone.

Throughout the series, Sasuke repeatedly disrespected Sakura, emotionally distanced himself from her, and even attempted to kill her on more than one occasion. If this were a real-life relationship, everyone would be urging Sakura to walk away because that is the common response to toxic dynamics like this. Despite all of Sasuke's past misdeeds, it feels as though he hasn't fully repaid the damage he caused. Unfortunately, Sakura seems to have been dragged down with him rather than thriving as she had the potential to.

In "Boruto," the limited moments showcasing their relationship reinforce this imbalance. Their so-called "date" lasts only a minute, and Sasuke's prolonged absences mean that Sakura is essentially raising their daughter, Sarada, as a single mother. This further highlights how one-sided their relationship feels. Sasuke’s constant disappearances make it hard to see how he's genuinely invested in his marriage or family life.

I genuinely believe that Sasuke's redemption arc would have been stronger if he had remained single. Choosing solitude would have allowed him to reflect on his actions and the harm he inflicted upon those who loved him. In my opinion, forcing a romance between Sasuke and Sakura was a misguided attempt to "reward" Sakura after years of being disliked by the fanbase. She underwent significant character growth, becoming a strong, independent kunoichi who proved her worth through skill, determination, and resilience. Pairing her with Sasuke felt like a betrayal of that progress, as though all her development was cast aside in favor of an unsatisfying romance. Sakura's journey should have ended with her realizing that her strength and accomplishments were enough; she didn’t need a relationship to feel validated or complete.

On top of that, I firmly believe that Sasuke’s punishment for his crimes was far too lenient. He committed numerous atrocities, harmed innocent people, and betrayed his village. While he may not have directly participated in Orochimaru's experiments, he was complicit in many of Orochimaru's actions and aware of the horrific deeds being committed. In my opinion, anyone involved in Orochimaru's schemes, regardless of their eventual alignment, should have faced harsher consequences. Attacking a Kage or threatening the stability of the shinobi world is an unforgivable act, and Sasuke's minimal punishment does not reflect the gravity of his actions.

I don't hate Sasuke, but I believe he was let off the hook far too easily. Some mistakes can be forgiven with time, but others leave scars too deep to ignore. Sasuke's redemption should have been a longer, more challenging journey—one that prioritized growth, accountability, and reflection rather than rushing him into a relationship with Sakura. In the end, Sakura deserved better than to be burdened by someone still struggling with his own demons, and Sasuke needed more time to fully reckon with the damage he had caused.

You're a sick woman Natalie fan account for making me realize that

and no i'm not going to talk about natalie being so good and skillful at keeping quiet during a hunt and listening for her surroundings as a direct result of her abusive upbringing, but we can all hold hands while we think about it collectively in silence
