I mean, I know Sasuke's story is sad, I'm not going to say it isn't, losing your family to your own brother must be horrifying. The thing is, why do so many people show Sasuke so much sympathy and are so forgiving of him (due to his past) yet hate on Obito and don't show him nearly as much, if any, sympathy. See, my main issue with Sasuke was, honestly, he had someone to turn to, he could've gotten help. Think about it, the entire Leaf Village loved him, he found a friend in Naruto, and he was a prodigy. I'm not saying these replace a family but there was still people like Kakashi who went out of their way to extend their arms to help him. My issue is that, he brushed them all away, he could've gotten help, hell, people actually tried to help him, but he still gave into hatred anyway.
In contrast, you know who Obito had to turn to? Madara, friggin Madara, an evil, bitter old man slowly dying in a cave. So, whereas Sasuke could turn to a kind and compassionate man like Kakashi, or his friend Naruto, the only person Obito could turn to was the Naruto version of the Emperor. Also, Sasuke, unlike a Obito (and every other villain) took 6 years after his tragedy to decide he didn't want to be good anymore, Obito turned directly after his tragedy, he didn't have time to get help, like Sasuke did.
And worse of all is the current situation, Obito turned because seeing Rin die confirmed to him Madara's words (the things he fought against for the months he spent in rehabilitation), that he (Obito) could be a hero saving as much people all he wants, but, at the end of the day, he was superfluous, one day he would die and the people he sought to protect would no longer be safe, and, in the end, his life was as unimportant as the innocent girl sacrificed for a deeply evil plot. I see things from Sasuke's point of view also, that the cruel, twisted way that the shinobi world works would wind up having a 13 year old boy kill his entire family, in an attempt to save people. So, I get where they're both coming from, the thing is, Sasuke knows the full history, he knows about Kaguya and Indra and Ashura, the Curse of Hatred and how it began, he knows how the twisted system began, and, his current plans will simply put him on the same path of Indra, the path that created all of this to begin with, while the only history and point of view Obito knows of is that taught to him by Madara, the dark, nihilistic view of the world, that's why I have little sympathy for Sasuke at this point.
I want to hear your thoughts, please be honest and at least attempt to be polite, I don't care if you disagree with me, and I don't care if you're a Sasuke fan, however, if you disagree with my points, I will engage you in discussion, at least to see why. Also, please go for intellectual conversation, I don't care for spelling, just, please no "OMG, SASUKE SUX" or "OMG, OBITO IS A PEDO".
