Can most of us even call ourselves Naruto fans?

Bleach and FT fans are a lot more mature.

magi even more so
Aren't you the dude who made that troll thread on why Naruto is the shittiest or something? Not saying you're a Naruto fan but you add to the immaturity and hate the series gets.

Didnt read the wall of text, but to personally answer your question. No, probably can't be considered a Naruto fan, I am a manga and anime fan, like in general, but I don't have a very good opinion of the Naruto series after the Pein arc. I have since gotten into a lot more anime I have much higher standards now :|

Pointing out a grain in a desert.

We're entitled crybabies that over rationalize everything to the point where everything can be excused.

We beat dead subjects over the head and shitpost.

Naruto's fanbase as a series is pretty awful.

Appreciate the shoutout for the Bleach fanbase.

Yes, it's my opinion, same goes for your post. Is there a reason to emphasize that?

The problem here, people like OP or 123fire not aware about it. I agree with you and your viewpoint.

It just an opinion mean why need to created a thread to shared your opinion and defend it very hard.

If thread about NV fillers never been created, people will not jump on your head/kick your head.

Negativity spreads like a disease so I don't agree with your analogy.

Irl though, guys who "like anime" and only seen Naruto are cringy.

Some of them are Ex fans- - they broke up when the manga writer thought it was his story to tell and didn't provide the individual fan service- and bitter since the divorce.

Some are here just to troll the actual fans. Just report the people who are only bashing and flaming.

Isn't that why most ppl stop being fans of something. The author decides to do what he wants and the fans don't agree with the direction.:|

I don't think I can bring myself to hate Naruto (the series) though (heavily dislike the character), Highly disappointed, and I can't really say I am a fan anymore, but I can't really say I have grown bitter

True.
I mean, many people just leave the boat if the trip isn't much fun anymore. But that doesn't mean that these people have to get rid of anything related to that trip. I don't see what's wrong with cheering the good old memories.

Those who want to discuss it have a right to discuss those fillers and not be bashed for enjoying it. Anime is part of Naruto franchise. More ever there are many who may be watching anime only or may prefer it. For them the facts in the anime are the story. Jumping others for making thread related to the anime, preventing others from even discussing the stuff they personally don't like and bashing and insulting such people is just bullying and trolling.

I so agree with this! They're just trolling us fans that are saying there are no contradictions , they bring up manga panels that have little details they take the narration that hago said as something detailed .

Hagoromo said his story and they interpreted it as they want .

That's all fine and dandy as long as they are able to respect others who still enjoy the story and let them have their fun. Bashing and insulting them for enjoying something, you cannot enjoy anymore is just mean poor behaviour. Insulting them or derailing thread with off topic posts etc, is against forum rules.

Forcing yourself to stay in fandom, you are no longer part of is your personal issue. I can understand giving a negative review for things you don't like. But constantly return to a discussion you don't like for more than two years now? And jumping people and calling them names? And keeping it up for more than two years? Nope.

Sometimes I wonder is some of these people are using the manga as a punching bag for everything wrong in their life.

Well I can't say there is ever a reason to insult the person for liking what they like.

Non aggressive trolling is a much better option

That's kinda fine for them, but they kinda want us to accept things are part of canon material when manga only are set that it's not. The bashing usually comes in when two choose not to let bygones bygones

Afterall Naruto manga/series is not like a comic where every realities have its own universe(it called as 'earth'). Like Marvel cinematic universe for example;

Earth-199999. The Marvel Cinematic Universe is a shared fictional universe which crosses over superhero films independently produced by Marvel Studios. The timeline below chronicles the major events that led to each disparate Marvel Universe character to the Avengers film produced by Marvel Studios.

How I see it every works in Marvel/done by Marvel can be canon to its reality. And what I mean by 'canon' is official canon and not a blurry canon like Naruto series overall(Manga(cannon), anime, novel etc)

There was non-exist official recognition from Kishi.

Eye am a Sasuke fan, not a Naruto fan. My job is to only cool down Sasuke, once I am turned on by a mere on switch.

I return here because I am bored and kinda still enjoy talking about the series. Ppl that will jump someone and talk about them simply for enjoying something you don't seems like a sign of mental issues :wut:

It's still against rules and when it stops being entertaining for anyone but the person or a gang who is in it just for personal lulz it becomes problematic for the forum atmosphere and cannot be allowed to go on.

That's kinda fine for them, but they kinda want us to accept things are part of canon material when manga only are set that it's not. The bashing usually comes in when two choose not to let bygones bygones

It's not like such arguments and bashing are limited to what's canon and what's isn't. The ones who like the series or want to discuss it should be able to continu, while those who come in only to troll are the ones being the problem and working against the idea of forum by discouraging the ones who want to.

It's not limited to comics though.

They are two different mediums and many animes work this way- they do not follow the manga 100% because of practical reasons- sometimes they elaborate on points, that mangka wasn't able to cover in the manga, sometimes they edit part out if they are not allowed on Tv, etc. Or simply because they don't have any input from the original and write up their own stuff.

Beyblade original series had slightly different ending than the manga which showed the next gen. The anime is also slightly lighter than the manga version and changes small stuff here and there.

FMA had quite different story and very first episode of FMAB too is non canon and creates a plot hole in the story which doesn't exist in the manga.

Etc..
