How Can People Hate Sasuke, But Not Gaara?

[Sageflash]

As others have pointed out, Gaara didn't have a say in the matter. He was bred for one reason: to be an ultimate weapon. He was raised and treated with that in mind and, when coupled with being a jinchuuriki, he felt the world's scorn upon him. Mix that in with his father's attempts on his life and his lack of sleep, it's clear why he was insane. Sasuke's past was quite miserable too, but a big difference rises at the Chuunin Exams.

Gaara accepted his way was wrong and filled his life with happiness and the love of others to make him a better person. He knew he was a piece of shit, but he rebuilt from the ground up and become a person his village and friends would be proud of. A true turn-around story if there ever was one.

Sasuke, however, selected to succumb to the darkness. He knew he was choosing a dark, evil path and gladly accepted it. He elected to keep and expand his hatred, to fester in his enmity. And, frankly, that's not respectable by many people. Gaara went out of his way to rectify his mistakes and continues to put his life on the line for his friends, while all of Sasuke's deeds are traced to his selfish inclinations and lust for power. And that's why Gaara is favorited in this area.

It doesn't happen to every Uchiha so it isn't an adequate excuse like you are trying to make it out to be. And yes, Kishi did introduce the reincarnation stuff, but he never once said that Sasuke's choices were made by Indra so stop trying to argue that.



@bold that's garbage. You don't have to view yourself above others to become strong or achieve a goal, he had a superiority issue because he, like the rest of the Uchiha (Itachi, Shisui, Kagami aside), believed that he was better than everybody else, because he was an Uchiha.



I forgot about the second Tsukuyomi during the fight. The bold happened when Sasuke was arrogant enough to attack him, Itachi did him wrong, but that was his fault.

If you r constantly trying to look ahead, constantly trying to get stronger to somehow catch up to the genius of your clan. If you see ppl without your drive, without your lineage, and who haven't trained as much as u have, and u see them surpass u then of course it will make you feel conscious of your self. I am not say that that is his reason for belittling others but it is his reason for wanting to be the strongest of his piers. Tbh, it must have been a massive blow to his pride to see someone like Naruto show him up. It probably made him feel like the effort that he has been putting in all this time was worthless, but then again he didn't know at that time that Naruto had the Kyuubi.

I don't really expect Sasuke to be logical. I mean look at Obito he lost one girl and he went nuts. Sasuke lost his entire family and was told that his brother was screwed over by Konoha. There is a big difference between hating your circumstances and having an enemy staring back at you and laughing at you.

Also, think about it a 12 year old Uchiha sees the person that murdered his entire clan walks in front of him and u expect him to be rational?

So you hate Sasuke because of his actions and that he acts like an a$$hat?

> Implying that the way Sasuke acts is out of thin air? And yet no one has any hate for Hidan
> Implying that this manga is supposed to be revolved around respect? Most people got pissy when he snapped on Kakashi and Sakura

So, do you hate Vegeta then? He was an a$$hate to other people and even Bulma at one point.

The reason why people hated on and still hates on Sakura to this day is because of what she said in chapter 3 to Naruto. She had no place to say what she said. Sasuke's actions are some-what understandable and the way he acts is also understandable. You remember when he was a kid. He was cheerful and kind to others. Who would figure that after a menacing night of pain and sorrow of having your parents killed in front of your eyes by your own brother would influence you to act like a jackass..

At the end of the day, some of Sasuke actions were bad and some were understandable, but it all comes down to who we are talking about and we are discussing about Sasuke and since people love to blindly hate on Sasuke without actually understanding shit then they become ignorant in their words and say stupid things. Why hate on Sasuke? Why not hate on the one who caused him to act that way? Itachi was the sole reason for Sasuke's outcome and even trying to influence his life. I fail to see how someone can hate on Sasuke but at the same time love Itachi.

When it comes to Gaara's life, he did have it pretty bad, but you people are trying to excuse all the things he did on simple apologies and humility, which is pretty stupid considering who we are talking about. Sasuke has never been apologetic to anyone ever since he was a kid and you want to bring this horse shit into my home?

Fact of the matter is, is that most of you use double standards against Sasuke for Gaara's sake because you hate on Sasuke. Simple.

How did Sakura get into the conversation ._.

Sasuke in this part would've told the army that they were all useless and fodders as Gaara did more for the shinobi world than Sauce ever did. Exception of getting rid of Danzo and Oro (temporarily). He went from crazy to a Worthy Kage that even the Tsuchikage got told to stfu in a well mannered way.

Yea because Gaara had 3 years to change and Sasuke after learning all he did had what 1 week to a month

Kabuto did not know the details of the Uchiha massacre at the time that Sasuke was under Orochimaru.
No, actually I don't.
Sasuke never followed the tablet. Try again.
What in gods name are you talking about? I haven't said anything about a "path that I desired", the ony thing I've said is that Sasuke is the one that made his choices, so he should be accountable for them. Period.

Don't joke kabuto was a spy for Danzo and oro was ranting against edo kages.
U r saying from the start of thread sasuke should become accountable for the actions like life is bed of roses but ur completely ignoring what happened with him;his clan and many other clans becoz of flaws of shinobi system.
U r saying sauke choose his path u r acting like sasuke should just follow gaara followed or else it's legit to hate sasuke

People don't hate Lawd Gaara.

People don't hate Lawd Gaara.

Tbh, I never hated him even when he was killing ppl. XD It is kinda hard to keep liking him when he fanboys Naruto though.

Why did it effect his pride? Because of his superiority complex. His goal was a part of that, not the other way around. And please don't tell me that Naruto didn't have Sasuke's drive and train as much as Sasuke did in part one (regarding the first bold line). That statement is laughable. Regarding the second bold line, are you really trying to say that Kurama was a part of Naruto's part one development?

I don't really expect Sasuke to be logical. I mean look at Obito he lost one girl and he went nuts. Sasuke lost his entire family and was told that his brother was screwed over by Konoha.

Lol all I was saying was it was his fault that he got his ass whipped, I wasn't trying to have a debate on it or anything lol

The only people that knew of the massacre were Hiruzen, Danzo, the elders, Itachi, and Obito. Fact.

Regarding the rest of your statement, I think you need to go back and read my arguments again, the only thing that I have said is that he should be accountable for his actions because he is the one that chose to act the way he did. Not Indra, not Itachi, not Orochimaru, not the flawed system, but Sasuke. Sasuke made his choices. Nobody else.

How did Sakura get into the conversation ._.

People who laugh at sakura for sasuke giving no $#!t about her and bash her now wants Sasuke to be nice to her or else SASUKE HATE FTW.

All because of who? Itachi.

No, Naruto didn't value his strength as much as Sasuke did.He didn't take his advancement as serious as Sasuke did. If you notice it wasn't everyone that Sasuke minded getting stronger. Sasuke has fought stronger opponents, he was completely fine losing to Rock Lee, the fact is it was Naruto the lowest rank of the class that was showing him up. Sasuke had to be strong so when he shown up by someone supposedly weak then it shook his confidence.

If you can tell me with a straight face that Naruto could have beat on that snake in the FOD, fought Gaara, defeat Haku, and defeat Neji without utilizing Kyuubi chakra then yeah I will believe that Kurama had nothing to do with Naruto's development in part one

Weird I could have sworn this was Sasuke's hate vs Gaara's hate

Yes, I do not like Sasuke as much as Gaara because of his actions.

You're trying to say people hate Sasuke just because he's Sasuke. That isn't incorrect as some people do. But for most, that simply isn't the case.

Sasuke's actions during the Kage summit were off pure emotions. He wasn't himself, at all. During that time he did things that were out of character. People hated him for that, except for maybe die hard fans of him. or people indifferent to his character.

The people who hate Sakura now for chapter 3 are stuck in the past. But Kishi hasn't really done anything for her character that he didn't immediately take back in the next panel or following chapter. It's more of that reason that some still dislike Sakura.

We cannot dictate and explain who loves or hates what. Some people hate with good reason. Some hate for shallow reasons or none at all. But the #1 reason people probably hate Sasuke aside from his actions. Is because of his fans. But that's not a good reason to hate a character. Nor should it be more of an incentive to hate said character.


Vegeta gave up his life in order to protect his family and the world. Vegeta redeemed himself in the eyes of many viewers, including his own fanbase. He even knew what awaited for him when he did what he did and he still went ahead with it.

[video=youtube;yj1V24sLsE8]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yj1V24sLsE8[/video]

So please do not compare Vegeta to Sasuke, they are on different levels.

Sasuke has yet to do something on the level Vegeta has. Or even Gaara for that matter

No one is trying to excuse Gaara's past. No one is saying "He apologize so it's fine". The point I tried to make is that Gaara showed growth after overcoming his past and the bad things he committed. That's a viable reason people would not hate Gaara as much as they do Sasuke.

Until Sasuke attempts anything in the slightest of what Gaara did. Then maybe people wouldn't hate him as much.

Really enlightening thread

Weird I could have sworn this was Sasuke's hate vs Gaara's hate

People tend to find BS reasons to hate char.
Thread ask hate gaara too and people trying counter no no my hate is valid and i will use any logic to prove it and drags other char in it.
OT:what is #ACBS

 

[Shadow Phantasm]

Sasuke was lied to from the start,notice how he did'nt immediately destroy Konoha until he got the truth and then decided against it.

Gaara was a psychopath who enjoyed killing,excusing his actions while condemning Sasuke's seems pretty hypocritical.

Why do you need to ask this question when the answer is obvious?

 

[King Of Pop]

if people wanna hate sasuke then i dont really care. however what pisses me off is when they try and justify gaaras actions and make him like an innocent guy and at the same time slate sasuke. its complete horsehit. then they state all the bad things that happened to gaara but conveniently forget what sasuke also passed through.

exactly, i agree. the double standards whenever sasuke is involved is quite amusing
