Sorry just remembered like over ten years ago my sister tried to play Oppression Olympics™ between Sasuke and Neji, claiming Sasuke's had a harder life and like yeah his entire family was killed and his brother made him watch it and that sucks.

Neji's family literally owns him.

Look I don't want to compare them or anything, and having to watch your family die is, objectively awful, but being actively kept as a slave by your own family is also an objectively awful thing lol

#Naruto #Neji Hyuga #Sasuke Uchiha #and like also Sasuke lives in pain from what happened because he actively chooses to let it consume him #that's like a major character flaw of his #it's literally his entire motivation for joining Orochimaru #like losing his family and being forced to watch was a one-time event that Sasuke *actively* refuses to move on from #(two-time if you count the time he at twelve years old picked a fight with Itachi and thought he'd win for some reason)#Neji however lives suffering because he quite literally has no choice #Neji doesn't have a choice in being a slave that's just what his life is #I'm not trying to claim that one has it worse than the other #but I feel like that context is also pertinent #yes I've been kind of bitter about this for over 10 years lol #but I will *never* get over my sister's ''oh well what does *Neji* have to be miserable about?'' comment #it's like ''he's literally a slave boo'' lol #there were other characters she was comparing him too at the time but Sasuke was the big one haha #trash king rambles #actually you know what I'll say it #compared to basically every other ''tragic backstory'' character in the series #Sasuke's is actually pretty tame #yeah he lost his family but at least pretty much everyone still loves him #Kimimaro was raised in a cage and then also watched his entire family die #Gaara's dad tried to assassinate him several times and his entire village despised him #Naruto was treated like a literal monster by basically the entire village and he also has no family #Sasuke's just the most dramatic of the Trauma Orphans™ honestly like get over it lol
