ive been on the base for almost a month and i have seen almost every character in the narutoverse called fodder why?

real life buster douglass was fodder and yet he still managed to beat mike tyson.

now if u use the term fodder explain why u use the term fodder on a character.

i made this thread just to try to understand posts on the base more

To describe characters that are irrelevant due to either plot or lack of strength.

Fodder means weaker than the opponent, weak, or useless.

The term fodder is used for characters that are not important to the story or characters that we barely know anything about. Tenten or the anbu for example. But there is a certain person that thinks everybody is fodder besides itachi :rofl:

Tenten is fodder, because she doesn't even get screen time and is weak.

It's true, fodder is a misused term. Tenten and Sakura are not fodder. Fodder relates to a character that has no name which merely appears in the story, like a member of the allied shinobi force. It doesn't necessarily have anything to do with how strong someone is, rather, how important they are. But it's a nice word and I like to use it :p

They use it mainly when they want to hate on another character. The only real fodder are the nameless genin, chuunin, and Zetsu clones in the war.

If you are fodder
Then you shouldn't bother.

We use fodder to describe people who don't have much relevance to the plot or who are kiled by kunai, aka, the only people TenTen has a chance against.

You mad? Zetsu is the land itself, can take up things (like Itachi VS Sasuke - showed to Tobi later on).

Zetsu is not fodder, neither Neji
