I know you won't believe it but Itachi is the 3rd character i like the most, and i really didn't care at all about the difference in position between Minato and Itachi. Personally when i create a thread, i don't think about how it will go, i don't think about others opinions. When i create a thread, the only thing i think about is mine, my opinion. After that i hear and discuss to others to see what they think about it. Now people could appreciate or depreciate it, but the thing i've noticed is that when Itachi is involved in a thread(especially when he isn't described as a god-like), it almost everytime turns to a flame war where people insult others or call fanboys or haters.
Don't even know if you really know what is the meaning of being a fanboy. Fanboy takes a sense when someone is overrating a character just because he likes him. It's not the case for Minato, at least it's what i think. Sure i like him more, but the manga itself place Minato in this position(if you want to complain about it, go and see Kishimoto), so in this case i don't see where i overrate him.
Now like i've said, you can believe what you want, call me a fanboy or hater if you want, you can even say i'm only playing the victime if you want, i'm not going to try to convince you anyway
