3 Things Naruto Fandom Needs To Stop Doing

[redbrunja]

Stop giving Sakura make-overs.

That red top she wears? Looks awesome on her.

The normal "redheads should not wear pink" rule does not apply in this case and I'm really sick of reading about her getting new outfits because 'omg the red just looks so bad on her and she never really liked it.'

Does anybody get all uppity about Naruto. A ninja. Wearing. Orange? No.

She's worn the same shade and the same symbol on her back since the beginning of the series; I'm going to go out on a limb and say that it's clearly important to her.

Also, stop acting like Sakura nees her gloves. Read some of the latest chapters and pay attention to how Tsunade fights.

Sakura's gloves are clearly either a.) there for the psychological effect or b.) (my personal fanon) they keep her hands clean.

After all, medics need clean hands at all times.

Additionally, Sai is not mean. He is not malicious and does not take every opportunity to be hurtful to Sakura.

(And I will have a picspam up later tonight showing how ridiculous writing him like that is.)

I always figured that Sakura wore her gloves so that when she goes all SAKURASMASH™, her knuckles doen't bleed/get cut.

Writing Sai mean is just as OOC as writing him happy, or sad, or any other emotion, really; if he doesn't have a firm grasp of what it means to express his emotions, why would he purposely be an asshole? He's so impressionable, I doubt that he really knows what he's doing.

Naruto!fandom keeps me entertained. Most people just treat it like it's their own personal novel and change up character's looks and personalities when it suits them. It's crazy. :/

I think a lot of people do but that's never really made sense to me - she's punching with chakra,I would assume it would protect her, else she'd break her hands ever time she hit. (That said, I think she blooded her knuckles and broke bones when she was learning).

Exactly. All his comments are usually caused because he doesn't know better (or possibly likes making Naruto crazy).

And I don't get where he could get the motivation to be mean - it doesn't make logical sense since people are less likely to help you, and it doesn't make social sense, because if he's learning how to interact from books, I highly doubt they have one that's calling 'how to be an asshole, just for the lulz"

And if there was a book called that, he'd probably go to Sakura and be like, "does not compute. restart y/n?" And she'd be like '*flips pages* do any of these things and I'll beat your face in."

Mm, I can see your point and I guess it's an angle you can definitely argue for. She could also just be wearing them for the added badassery that they bring, but I guess only Kishi knows. :/

LAWL. Didn't he learn that a key component to human interaction is learning to express himself or whatnot? That's why he calls Sakura ugly, Chouji a fatass and tells Naruto he has a small penis? I think it's all so hysterical; I really love Sai, now that I think about it.

I love the idea of Sai learning things through the books he reads - I need to read more fic about that. It would be so adorable.

Well, in that particular instance he was trying to grow closer to people through nicknames. It back fired horribly.
