#But let's not pretend Sakura is a great character who was misunderstood and mistreated by her one true love

[mahou-no-momo]

Fam, the way Sakura stans be talking about how Sasuke treats Sakura is soooo bad and everyone excuses it because ✨ misogyny ✨ and stuff she did as a child. Uhhh no, we're being critical of everything she has done over the course of the series as well as Boruto. No one is completely excusing any of his behavior and tbh outside of tumblr most people hate Sasuke for asinine ass reasons and are in favor of Sakura during discussions even if they do hate her.

And as far as I'm concerned I'm indifferent to most of the female characters because they could be written better overall. Tsunade and Konan are the only two I really felt like had some somewhat consistent effort put into them before kinda fizzling out for the other male characters towards the end. But that's neither here nor there.

Sasuke does not owe Sakura love or affection just because she confessed her obsession to him several times and becomes all subservient when he's around. He also doesn't have to be nice to her for any reason. Hell, he was hardly nice to anyone outright so let's not pretend this was some concentrated effort on his part to cause her harm when most of the time he tried to ignore her, and she would get all up in his damn face when he wanted to be left alone. Clearly. If we're still on about the "hE tRiEd To KilL hEr". She tried to kill him first. Shit wasn't abuse, they weren't friends or lovers at that point in time. What abuse? As far as he was concerned, she was someone he once knew that had become an enemy and attempted to attack him. But because she couldn't go through with it he should've not protected himself? In a world that treat shinobi they're easily thrown away when no longer of any use? Bye.

People don't dislike her or her relationship to Sasuke because ✨ misogyny ✨~ they dislike her because she did shit like running into battle without a plan because she wanted Sasuke's attention. Meanwhile she became an inconvenience and nearly got herself killed. She had been a shinobi just as long as they have, was top of her class at the academy, same as Sasuke, and yet did some dumb shit like that. For his acknowledgement. I'd call her ass useless to her face too. They were in the middle of a damn war. A near world ending war. They dislike her because during the Forest of Death she was calling Sasuke a coward for hiding from enemy shinobi, who were much stronger and more experienced than them, meanwhile he had to again, save her ass. You can say "sHe WaS a ChiLd" all day long but her actions have been relatively consistent. She's selfish and immature even into adulthood. Using her childhood behavior to show that consistency isn't ✨ misogyny ✨
