I've seen a girl say Sakura still loving Sasuke after everything is offensive to women, that's why I said that.No fanfiction of chap.700+ nope.
Assumptions, well - that is what they are. Why not? It is a Discussion Forum no? Assumptions make up 99.9% of the threads on this site.
My opinions/comments are pure conjecture, a dash of devil's advocate and me writing it up at stupid-o'clock in the morning.
I stand by what I said about Shika/Tema - they are noting like Sasuke and Sakura. I doubt their relationships bare any significant similarities.
I don't need to portray it badly, the manga and anime does that perfectly fine for me. It's canon - their "relationship" was in a bad state pretty much throughout the series.
The only "light" side to come out of it, will be what comes after the 4th War/The Last.
Do I think well of their relationship? No. Not really. I don't think particuarly well of either character to begin with. Their personalities, their pasts, their canon actions/reactions, their relationship with each other and other people.
... because I'm a girl? Lol. Eh, not especially. You'll have to explain that a little more. I don't feel, as a woman, that manga characters have the potential or capacity to personally offend me, because of their gender.
If they did, I wouldn't like any female characters from Naruto... or most manga/anime... tv shows... movies.... etc.
I quite like Hinata, Mei, Temari, Kushina and Tsunade.
I think Kishi should have shown us more of their interaction after the 4th War/The Last, because like you said that's when the "light" side of their relationship takes place.
Again, we only saw 1 page of him so we still can't say that he isn't around at all, what Sarada said implies that he is busy but he sees her every now and then, just like Naruto.If you say so. I take issue with him doing a complete 180 in the space of a few panels but, whatever.
If he's redeemed, at peace with himself, happy and content - why isn't he around? Why does Salad remark on him not being around as much as Naruto is for Bolt?
Naruto, at least is Hokage.
Sasuke is... what? Wondering about still? That doesn't tell me he's happy.
I think Kishi wants to imply that Sasuke is the one who protects the village from the shadows, the Yin to Naruto's Yang, together they maintain the balance of peace like Naruto said after their fight, he needs him to maintain peace and that's probably what Sasuke is doing.
He loves his family but like Naruto he sacrifices some of his time to make sure the village is safe.
I completely agree we are allowed to have our own ideas and we are free to discuss.Sure, sure. But until then we're allowed to have her own ideas about it, you have yours and I have mine. Kind of the point of having a Discussion forum, eh?
However what you are doing is assuming the worst of a character who was shown to better himself and be redeemed by the end.
I have the freedom to think that Gaara is blood lusted at heart and he still occasionally murders innocents in cold blood to feed his craving, but that is not a fair assumption given what we have seen of Gaara as of late.
Everybody has the right of freedom of thought and speech, you can always find a negative assumption that allows you to believe the worst, or you can give the benefit of the doubt and believe in the best.
It is wise to assume the good and doubt the bad. =D
