I'll repeat this until I die. Sakura is disliked because most readers are young males and think they're mindless perspective is flawless. After hours of discussion I've come to this and this I mantain.

Personally, I have difficulty understanding anything in the context of the romantic subtext of this manga since I dont care about it but now that I think about it, I do agree that her not requiting Narutos romantic feelings probably do contribute to fan dislike of her.

I assume that people who care about pairings in this manga likely project their own romantic predispositions onto the scenario, i.e. they place themselves in some characters (of the same ***) shoes. Males will thus imagine themselves as Naruto when considering pairings involving Naruto. Naruto, because of his feelings, has gone to extreme ends for Sakura, to the point that he would forsake his own happiness for her (e.g. bringing back Sasuke for her). Despite Narutos unconditional love (well at least to a certain point in the manga because it does become ambiguous after the confesion) for Sakura, she does not reciprocate his feelings (on the confession, I will for the sake of parsimony assume Naruto was correct and refuse to interpret it). Males who might imagine themselves in this situation will no doubt be repelled by it and this would likely foster dislike for Sakura. Conversely females will put themselves in Sakuras shoes and will likely find the unconditional/relentless nature of Narutos feelings for her romantically appealing. This would also explain the gender difference between support for the Narusaku pairing as well (something Ive noticed).

Why every Sakura threads are always that long? :sy:

because both sides (usually naruhina and narusaku) ride to the death.

Take it easy, I wasn't referring at you. I said the majority. Now if you feel in the majority, fine, but don't blame it on me.



So what you say is to be taken as the absolute truth, yet, what I say is what...a lie? How am I being immature, again? For having a different opinion? And did I call you critical? As far as I typed in my previous post, I haven't. I didn't asked for anyone's praising because I don't need anyone's praise. It's my opinion, as simple as that. If someone happens to agree, fine, if not, fine again. But the fact that I can show a different interpretations doesn't mean I am wanting some kind of praise. Of course I thank people if someone says that they consider that what I've written they think it's bringing a point. It's called being respectful. That's what mom thaught me to do. Thank people for a compliment, an opinion, being it agreement or not, etc.
You might say "but you come and say no, you're wrong" to people that don't agree with you.
When the fact is simple, clear and people dismiss it, I, truly come and tell them they're wrong, but when it's about interpretation, I purely offer a different one. How does that make me immature?
All this arguing is a debating. As I've seen, NB doesn't care about this, about different perspectives of the story, different interpretations and stuff like that like other sides. However, what I argued with you about wasn't about Sakura, was about you, 'attacking' my interpretation of her acts. What is that makes other interpretations better than mine? What gives others the right to be more right than I am? If they have the right to express their oppinion that it's X, so I have mine to say it's Y. What makes their opinion above my opinion? The fact that it's the Base's majority? Oh, sorry then, but I don't bow, if that's what people want. As they have the right to say a thing, I have the right to say another. Fairly simple, I think.

See, that's your interpretation that she is weak-willed. As far as I remember, Kishi potrayed her as an strong-willed individual, as proofs stand throughout the manga. Sure, people call her weak mainly because Sasuke. But let's not forget something. Naruto is on the same boat. However, there's a difference between Naruto and Sakura expressing feelings. While Naruto had pshichologically build walls in order to not show his weakness, Sakura lets it all out and fights with it as best as she can. See, you're calling her a realistic character, yet, you dismiss the realism in her character. But sure, let's just judge only Sakura because of Sasuke, let's let Naruto out of it. While to most people looks like Naruto has no emotional weakness, he has, but the difference with him is that he hides it very, very good. And we've seen this every since part 1. He never let his actual feelings run free. But anyway, the topic here is not Naruto.
I think we're discussing here a depiction based on an actual real, person. Hence Kishi saying she is one of the most human characters in his manga.
To you it's absurd, to me, it's normal. Different views. I know Kishi does mistakes, you seem to have missed my posts where, I, personally, critiqued his writing and everyone calling me a names just because I didn't say "WOW, this is so cool" while they were screaming it's cool.
Those instances were many, however, you seem to have missed them. Not your fault, though, it's not like we meet on every thread.
Yes, it was forced by Naruto's rejection but that doesn't mean it was superficial. It was because she felt on her own skin what Naruto felt. Take out Sasuke from the equation, put any other person instead of Sasuke that calls her annoying, the same way she called Naruto annoying and I guarantee you that you'll get the same result.
Well, it seemed that for her it needed to, at that time. It's similar with Yahiko's resolution. In order to understand each other, we must feel the same pain.
Same happened here. In order for Sakura to understand how Naruto felt when she acted that way, she had to feel the same pain as him.
Quite simple.
It's called learning from your own mistakes.

When i was saying 'im not praising...' i was referring to the character of sakura, not you or your posts jeez. No need to feel so insecure, over the Internet.
And i called you immature as youre presenting your own interpretation of what sakura did in manga pages as divine truth.

Also i criticise when someone presents an opinion as a fact. Its that simple. Anyways, i do agree that naruto has had illogical feelings for Sakura, but he can still make himself look beyond that. Lets imagine if Sasuke were to confess (faking it) that he loved Sakura. If he were lying, would she be able to see through that deception, despite her own feelings? She would be so blinded by joy( read: selfishness) that she would not have picked up the lie. Thats what i dislike about this character the most, shes not aware of what others think/feel. Im not saying she needs to care about everyones feelings, she just needs to be aware of them. Thats her real character default. Even though she knew him for years, it took sai for her to realize naruto had feelings for her. She also got sentimental and blindly punched sasori, even though he said its pointless, this body cannot feel any pain'. Not being able to have any idea what is in another persons heart makes for a weak ninja imo. She cannot effectively counter an opponent if she cannot predict what that opponent is likely to do. Ok ill concede the last point about needing to feeling anothers pain to understand them, but she could still do some guesswork.

I really do hate these Sakura threads, they become a hotspot for flaming.

 

[Reynfall]

sakura is retarded

 

[mazyeyes546]

Everyone is a jealous *******, that's why. Now, don't take this the wrong way I'm not a huge Sakura fan but I kinda like her so yeah.

 

[Draphsin]

the real question should be "why is it really that this thread is still alive??"

 

[Buzz Beamer4]

I have found her 2 be something that Naruto had to long for and to make him strong, someone who he cares so much about he does whatever 2 gain her trust, Love, and attention even... Afterwards though; Sakura appears to be much if a fodder, I mean, yes, she's a top medic and handy in a tough situation, but she really hasn't, in my opinion mind you, shown that she has the appeals of a good main/secondary character. More like a super long side story tbh...

 

[SIR HERDERP PRESIDERP SDO]

I think Sakura hasn't been forgiven yet for her super annoying antics in part 1

 

[george99]

The answer is simple-no boobs

 

[Buzz Beamer4]

l, Hinata and the others are always 1 specific way unless their inspiration is around as are normal people... Sakura on the other hànd appears 2 be a mood swinging bit*h no matter what the situation is... No offence2 any fans out there or creator... If it was known that she ws schizophrenic or had M.P.D. since birth, it'd be ok... Probably shouldn't be a ninja though, but Kimimaru or whatever was crazy and Jugo is worse so...

 

[zamki]

Even SO6P dislikes her..look at my sig

 

[hermic4lyfe]

Whatever .....she's useless!!!

 

[celarian]

Even SO6P dislikes her..look at my sig

lol

 

[doubledude]

She has no boobs.
Hinata has boobs.
Simple logic,

Hinata > Sakura
