(English is not my first language, so I apologize if what I say is not very understandable).

It left me thinking what you said about some people only being interested in your account to escape reality through fandom.

Have they even stopped to think that the canonical history of the fandom they follow is full of wars, and children used to kill?Aren't we all worshiping Sasori, who lost his parents in the war and then became an active participant himself, being just a child?

Are they so oblivious to the fact that these characters made us see the gray of a world full of death and violence, that they cannot realize that all these stories are a representation of the real behavior of our humanity?

Don't delete anything, please say everything you feel necessary to say. These people have me in shock.

Naruto's ""darker"" themes has always been an analysis of how inherently evil militarism, feudalism, hyper nationalism and exposing literal children to the horrors of war and death can be and how these systems enabling these horrors shouldn't exist. It's not black and white like you said, but there are beliefs that will always be red flags to me. Take the Uchiha massacre for example, which would be the closest comparison we can make to current events.

Unfortunately, partly due to Kishimoto's shitty centrist writing and due to how predispositioned and pre-propagandized the audience is, all of these conclusions can get glossed over and lost. How many in this fandom defended Konoha's violent pursuit of Sasuke for the longest time? Saying that he wasn't allowed to deal with Itachi, and then reprimanding him for turning his hatred towards the village? Worse, how many fawn over characters like Obito, Shisui, and especially Itachi - who had no qualms about endangering their clan and ultimatively agreeing that none of them deserved to oppose their oppressors and live? Konoha, not just Danzo, in turn had kept up a heavily propagandized image of the Uchiha due to their own personal hatred and beliefs. In Danzo's case, an excuse to get access to their organs for personal profit. Worse, they (Itachi, Shisui) didn't bother being honest with their own people, ultimatively not allowing them to escape or fight back. Contrast this against the hatred for Fugaku, who not once decided to act on his own and correctly pointed out that they have been ostracised and dehumanised for things they didn't do and feared it would get worse. Sound familiar? People are correct when they call the Uchiha massacre a genocide because that's what it was, but those are the people who actually drew from real life examples to criticially engage with the material.

Analysing real world struggle and applying that analysis to the narrative is the reason I continously empathize that Sasori's hatred for Suna shouldn't be glossed over for cushy high ranking positions because he just so happens to be talented. It's integral to his character and his actions, and it's a valid hatred to have. I honestly wish Kishimoto would have a fraction of enthusiasm for exposing the systems of oppressions as Oda has (a lot of conflicts in One Piece heavily, I mean HEAVILY, draw from the Cuban Revolution), because Naruto as a story would be far better off and probably would have more to say.

This also means, of course, that I recommend the audience to engage with this subject, and not fall for the propaganda of their oppressors <3 Palestine: A Socialist Introduction is currently free as an ebook for a start.

#nonitxt #meta #sort of #escapism and genocide apologism? in my ninja show? more likely than you think #dont worry about your english its great!! english isnt my first language either!! #nothing gets me more mad than people thinking their beliefs exist in a vacuum #stop reading just fiction start picking up non fiction as well!!! look around you and speak up!!! #i have to admit tho 90% of my reading is literally just non fiction with some fiction sprinkled in #in an ideal world bort wouldnt exist as a concept because the mercenary ninja villages employing child soldiers were dissolved

[aprito]

many things to shit on kishimoto for but one can always appreciate that he didn't have a pathological obsession with predatory age gaps, sexual assault and massive power imbalances in relationships like a lot of his peers in the industry do

#nonitxt #the same cant be said about the ppl whose feminism hasnt moved past the bush era claiming to be pro sakura #or any sort of progressive #having a pathological obsession with depicting a kids show' heroine getting continously abused for their own sexual pleasure #at the hands of men they themselves fawn over #misogyny so vile you geniunely wonder if these people even like her #much to think about <3

sasosaku month day 18: change with the season

"Sakura! These cherry blossoms very much remind me how much I cherry-ish you!" "Dad, no..."

-

"Back in my day we went 10 miles up hill in the snow just to skip school! Clearly, you kids are just being lazy." "Yes, that must be the problem."

thinking about how cute it would be if sos not only grew up together but also got to experience tons of family trips to the joy of some and to the dismay of others, i just think it would be neat u_u

i'm losing my mind over the anon telling you to remove your post. the sense of entitlement it takes to walk up to someone and tell them to remove a post about an ONGOING GENOCIDE from their own blog! if this isn't the place to talk about it then where? if a personal blog isn't the place to discuss Palestine then the answer must be nowhere at all, right? fuck zionists.

and I have nothing to add to that <3

#nonitxt #hilarious given the subject matter naruto tackles #hilarious given my very public stance on the politics of glamorizing and eroticising harmful concepts on this very blog #hilarious given my job irl #zi0nism and apoliticalism are diseases truly. get well soon

[aprito]

Please, stop talking about Israel and Gaza. This is not the place for it. both of you can do this on other places on Google. Just don't speak about this topic at all. Remove what you wrote here if you can (I don't if that's possible, but it would be good to do so), and also remove what you shared that someone else wrote. As I said, it's not the right place to talk about it.

I don't know what's worse: You saying I'm not allowed to feel bad for a fellow artist in a war zone with increasingly more terrible survival options (that my EU tax payer money is contributing to) or the follow up to my last response where the person doubled down on their rhetoric by saying Palestinian children need to be smothered in the crib because they will grow up to be dangerous monsters, something that was also systematically happening to my slavic ancestors at the hands of the Nazis during WW2, a response so appaling and disgusting I decided not to publish it. Am I just a content creator to you and not a person? Is fandom escapism all you people fucking care about?

Anyways, here you can find a comprehensive post on what's been happening for the past 75 years and here and here are some on the ground organisations for you to donate to.

#nonitxt #'this is not the place' i am offline organising to stop weapons shipments to that evil country #which is more than than i was able to do for my ukrainian relatives who werent allowed to leave the country #i share one post and you people fucking get triggered immediately #demanding someone to not care is insane #no one is free until palestinians are free

[aprito]

I know you won't reply to that, I just want to say something. I'm hurt. I guess you're on Gaza's side. Even though Hamas aren't the only monsters who hurt my people. Those "innocent people" rape , hit and torment my people. I don't care that monster lost her eye! Most of them want to kill us, And YOU either. They hate us more, but they hate you too. I liked your drawing so much, But now I'm just sad. Don't do that again, please- and I'll keep appreciate your work, because sasosaku are the best!

Aside from the fact that South Africa is sueing Israel for crimes against humanity at the Hague with receipts that include Israel's own admissions: Do you not realise how evil it sounds to look at the bombardment and blockade of a civilian population, half of whom aren't even 18, in the internationally recognized world's largest open air prison, and say that they deserve to die due to a group last voted for in 2006, a year half of the current Gazan population wasn't even born at? Do you think it's fair to bomb hospitals and block water and food supply? Do you think think it's fair to displace 85% of a civilian population? Do you believe it's fair that Israel is currently responsible for the largest share of child casualties? Do you believe that, ignoring everything that happened after October 7th, it's okay for Israel to be the only country in the world that systematically prosecutes between 500 and 700 children each year in military courts lacking fundamental fair trial rights? Those children are the people you call monsters? Do you hear yourself?

I am from Eastern Europe. The wars and consequent economic shock therapies Western Europe and the US have provoked and encouraged there for the past 30 years have displaced and killed more people than I'd like to count. People I met, People I'm related to even. Yet unlike you, I do not believe the children of those countries deserve to the punished for the crimes of a dozen corrupt, imperialist, racist, bloodthirsty leaders and their military henchmen. And I heavily encourage you to find that same empathy in your heart.

#nonitxt #insane fucking take #given that even liberal zionist outlets in israel are condemning this violence against CHILDREN
