I like Sasuke. A lot of people do. As a character/villain. He's interesting, adds a sense of unpredictability, and has a cool demeanor and fighting style. But as a human being, completely disgusting.
I read you're why Sasuke isn't evil, to which I reply:
1) Danzo didn't make Itachi do anything. Itachi did it of his own free will because he realized that it had to be done.
2) Agreed. You should defend yourself. Not turn it into a slaughter fest. Sasuke could have very easily non-lethally disarmed the threat of the samurai. He killed them because he felt like it. Plus, it was a very important political discussion. If Sasuke could stop thinking about himself and his clan he would have dealt with Danzo when he was returning instead of risking the declaration of war. Oh, and Ay and his body guards attacked Sasuke because he attacked B for evil reasons.
3) Yup, it's all Sakura's fault for attacking a terrorist who almost instigated war.
4) This. Crap. Again! Will people stop blaming the village. Except for 5 people (counting Itachi, of whom only 2 remain) no one in the village knew the truth of the Uchiha Massacre. And. Sasuke. Isn't. Good. Now! He still has dark intentions in his heart.
5) Now you'e just acting hypocritical. So, it's okay for Sasuke to kill the samurai in self-defense. But, the Leaf should just stand down as the Uchiha plan a takeover. The elders did what needed to be done. Talks weren't working. If Hiruzen got his way and they kept trying to reach a compromise it would be civil war. The Uchiha didn't want to listen. Why would Itachi slaughter his family if it was wrong? He did it because he realized that it had to be done.
6) Onoki used Akatsuki to capture criminals and to have allies handy if war broke out.
The Sand were manipulated by Orochimaru.
Also, they've both worked hard to atone and have changed their ways.
Sasuke joined for his own selfish reasons and actively helped them carry out acts of terrorism. Plus, while he's cut his ties with Akatsuki that's just because at this stage their goals conflict with his. He isn't a hero.
Look I don't mean to crap on your opinion but you're making no sense. It's been hammered over the head that Sasuke is bad. You're doing more harm to him than good by trying to justify him.
And Sakura probably is the most hated character in the west. But, she's actually really popular in Japan.
1) Danzo defintely made Itachi do it. He manipulated him, the same way Orochimaru manipulated the sand.

<- look at the way he speaks to itachi and which options he gives him. This is not only my interpretation, itachi's narutopedia and wikipedia page interpreted it the same way.
2.A) Of course he could, but this was easier, just like it was easier for the village to kill the uchiha instead of talk it out and come up with a peaceful solution.
B) And yes I agree, it definetly would be smarter to attack Danzo on his way back, but Sasuke didnt choose to attack him at the conference cus he wanted to kill all the other present people as well, it was just a dumb rushed decision.
C) Nothing wrong with Raikage's attack. I was just saying that Sasuke's fights at the kage summit (except the one with Danzo) were self defense. As for Sasuke attacking bee, he did that cus he needed obito as his ally. Of course it's still wrong, but it was cool when the sand used Orochimaru to attack konoha (for no reason).
3. I never said Sakura's a bad person for that or that she shouldnt have attacked him. I just said Sasuke is not evil for wanting to kill her cus she tried to kill him first anyway.
4. Sasuke didnt know who knew the thruth and who didnt. He only knew that the elders were responsible, he didnt even know which elders except for Danzo and Hiruzen.

<-- in this page the third says that he let danzo do the dark things in the village. This makes him just as guilty. Also, Danzo let Itachi spare Sasuke because he was his little brother, meaning that he also let itachi kill other innocent uchiha children. This is why Sasuke would even want to kill innocent people from konoha.
5. I'm not being hypocritical. I did say sasuke's self defense is cool but I never said the leaf shouldnt have killed the uchiha, I just said yall shouldnt be surprised if Sasuke wants revenge for the massacre, you cant call him evil for that. I mean, if I were in the Leaf's position, I wouldve done the same thing (and kill both itachi/sasuke afterwards, thats just simply the best option i got).
6. I dont know about Ohnoki, but tf did the sand do to atone? And you're only saying that the sand was manipulated because orochimaru killed the kazekage afterwards. The sand just helped orochimaru because konoha was the most powerful. They're nothing better than Sasuke. As for the atonement part, Sasuke helped Itachi to stop edo tensei and is fighting obito/juubi together with the SA. The sand fought in the war and helped konoha when they were in trouble with the sound 4 (minor trouble, genin mission). You're the one being hypocritical defending the sand in this one, while their reasons were worse than sasuke's (cus in the end, sasuke only did it cus it contributes to his revenge plan which has good reasons)
Sasuke just doesnt bother to explain himself to everyone, if he did, that would make the shinobi world hate him much less while still having done the same deeds, but explaining himself to the shinobi world shouldnt make a difference for the NB members because they dont need the explanation; they've seen why he did what he did etc in detail. (yet they hate him more than the NV hates him)
*if you know what i mean*
