Do you hate the character itself or just the fanboys that come with it?

How can you not understand how one can hate a character? First of all, just because a character is "fictional", does not mean that you cannot hate the fictional character. If I told you a long and detailed story about a person who murdered his wife and children, most likely you will hate the person. But what if I told you that the person was fake and a mere figment of my imagination? Does this invalidate your hate? Do your feeling all of a sudden become irrational? The answer is an obvious and resounding "no".

In fact, if a fictional character does not produce in you emotion: if the hero of the story does not inspire you, if you do not sympathize with the character, if you do not absolutely revile the villain, then either 1 of 3 things happened: 1) the story was told poorly, 2) you have desensitized yourself to vicariously experiencing the story, or 3) both.

Please don't say it's "just an anime". I hate it when people say "just" for things that have the artistic and literary potential. When people say it's just a video game, they undermine it's worth. If you say it's just an anime, you turn Kishimoto's story into common rabble, as bar yourself from ever being able to regard it as a literary piece of art that's worthy of examination (If it can even be called that. I'm not saying that this is what Naruto is, I'm only saying why it's dangerous to call something "just anything"). Granted, sometimes it needs to be said, but not this case.

P.S. My favorite character is Sasuke, and no, I don't hate any characters in the story. Personally, I don't think the story is told very well. It's extremely corny and cliched, if I'm being honest. I still like it, but Naruto is not something that people will quoting in generations to come for it's outstanding observations on humanity.

This ^^^ I personally don't hate any characters but I do hate the fanboys.

if i dont like a character i try too enjoy the character, but the fanboys ruin it.

fanboys-not only do they overrate/and (sadly) underrate a lot of good characters, they make these pointless, redundant, comparisons like Gaara vs. Sakura, while completely ignoring the underlying meanings and clever writings in a book.

Ok,before i was a member of NB, Itachi was my 2nd fav character,but now......the fanboyz ruined it,itachi is now my 5th fav.JUST SAYIN.

I think that fanboyism should just be kept out of arguments. If people can back things up with fact im not above listening to them.

I am a fan of Itachi & Jiraiya which are the two highest in the databook but I'm not above listening to arguments saying they can be beat. As of right now I haven't found any worth listening to since they're so widely hated on so I'm neutral on this topic

I feel that fanboyism fuels facts sometimes

 

[NarutoSageUzumaki]

I don't hate any Charcters cause they don't even exist I just get pissed by Fanboys make senseless statments like Naruto Beats SO6P I don't hate any cha

Who the heck says that Naruto beats so6p ?

it is Sasuke fans who say that Sasuke will get the rinnengan and become the next so6p

 

[sindi1997]

The fanboys just make me hate the character and i don't know why

 

[mikeeozua]

you guys should just ignore the fanboys, kakashi, minato, sasuke and Madara fanboys are the worst but i still love their characters because of what they represent in the story

 

[enditallsin]

I hate all the characters i just hate itachi more (and btw his gay fanboys can choke and die)and i have a million reasons why.

 

[Takos]

I hate fanboys, not characters. All the characters are cool in some way (though some less than the others ) but sometimes you need to point the character's fails right at his or her fanboys to make them shut up. U_U
