Yes. However, this "act of kindness" is not meritable in the least.
Kakashi gave up on Sasuke when the time came for it. Sakura should have as well.
The only individual in this manga to have the right to not give up is Naruto because
a) Sasuke has the strongest bond with him. b) They can relate. c) They're near the same powerlevel. d) Sasuke is willing to listen/fight him but no one else.
Some people in real life wish to go on their own path and should be respected for that. Sasuke has that right just as much as anyone else does. He doesn't need "saving", Kishimoto is only having Naruto do this in order to reinforce common friendship themes in shounen for kids.
I don't think it was as simple as that, Kakashi didn't give up on Sasuke, remember he gave Sasuke a last chance to end his obsession with revenge. He also thought this was how Hiruzen must have felt for Orochimaru when he had to face Orochimaru so we do know Kakashi still have some feelings for Sasuke as his old student but Kakashi is over two times Sakura's age, he understands that Sasuke have been changed by hatred. His experiences given to him by being older helped him be able to hand the act of being capable of killing Sasuke.
Remember he already went through feeling responsible for Obito's and Rin's death (he didn't know Obito was alive at that time). Kakashi couldn't pull himself into really fighting Obito at first after the mask came off and Obito didn't kill Kakashi in the flashback or after he beat Kakashi and left him in Kamui dimension (when Edo Madara was fighting Naruto, Bee and Gai). Naruto's bond with Sasuke goes back to when they were kids and he saw Sasuke alone by the pond right? Well Sakura liked Saauje around that time so even though Sasuke didn't have that bond at that time for her, she had it for him like how Sasuke said he severed those bonds but Naruto and Sakura didn't in the beginning of Shippuden.
You COULD but you haven't instead you're deliberately choosing to generalize based on stereotypes you believe to be true. You can't seem to distinguish between facts, knowledge, and beliefs. You BELIEVE and have created a stereotype of over 50% of women based on your limited experiences instead of the facts of psychology and human development. As I've stated before I don't consider anecdotal evidence a real argument because there's no way for us to determine your level of honesty or what really happened despite your perspective. So that point is invalid.
If we're analyzing how realistic sakura is as a character and whether or not she represents the average girl then we have to analyze her behavior and the reasoning behind it, you can't just cherry pick what you see fit by not including her behavior towards sakura int he most recent manga. You don't seem to be able to distinguish healthy behavior and unhealthy behavior for women. Sasuke is not a "bad boy" by any means of the word. However, he is a sociopath and there's evidence to prove it. if you believe it's common for women to fall in love with sociopaths then you're mistaken. If you believe it's average for women to be as codependent, needy, insecure, emotionally and psychologically unstable then you're mistaken. You've cherry picked one aspect of sakuras character and called her a "realistic character" insecurity alone is not sufficient when coming to a definitive conclusion about how realistic or unrealistic her character is and drawing on your personal experiences instead of considering outside evidence is short sighted and narrow minded.
And you're not listening to my point so let me try writing it in a way you can understand. *ahem* ALL WOMEN IN ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIPS CONTINUE TO RUN BACK TO THEIR ABUSERS IN THE BELIEF THAT THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR SAVING OR SUPPORTING THEM IN SOME WAY BECAUSE THEY FEEL A SENSE OF GUILT AND RESPONSIBILITY. Not just older married women. Really....it could be argued that even women in manipulative relationships experience the same thing. I don't see anything coming out of this argument because all you're really doing is limiting your perspective to personal experiences. If you want to have a skewed messed up close minded view of women then who am I to stop you?? Enjoy your day.
Well as Itachi told Sasuke, "....people live their lives bound by what they accept as correct and true. That's how they define "reality." But what does it mean to be "correct" or "true?" Merely vague concepts...their "reality" may be a mirage. Can we consider them to simply be living in their own world, shaped by their beliefs?" Sasuke:" what are you getting at? Itachi: "Like the way you simply decided that Madara must be dead. Like the way you believed I was a kind, caring brother."
Itachi words relate to you and to me as neither one of us know outside what we actually know. I didn't base my post on my perspective, I also used what I've heard from friends, both guys and girls. Why i said majority is because that's what I've most see or hear about, this is where Itachi's words comes in. No one can't base it off of only their own perspective, others can see or understand things you don't and you can gain information of a large group by such limited scopes. This is why I used what I've heard from others as well to see just how well my own results vary.
Businesses uses surveys to get a better understanding of what type of customers they should focus on. They can base it off of ***, gender, race, and age group depending on what type of business and/or merchandised they might sell. This is basically how you can gain an ideal of what the majority of the type of customers would want by using small groups of the type you choose to do the test for; you do it to different groups to see if the results are the same. Is that not similar to hearing or witnessing about girls going for bad boys from both guys and girls and a good amount of both types? For both Guys and girls, they can be talking about girls they were trying to get to know/date, girls they're friends with or what they were told by good friends of theirs. So from my "reality" as Itachi put it, it's basibg my use of "mostly" from what I've seen or heard about.
So you're saying a 6-7 year old Sasuke up to a 12-13 year old Sasuke does not fit under bad boy but does under sociopath? Idk what manga you've been reading but he wasn't a sociopath until MS Sasuke at 16 where he was talking crazy talk. Part 1 Sasuke was the loner who thought others were annoying, losers, idiots and he did his own thing for the most part.
