I think I've gotten to the point where if something annoys me in a manga or story I'm enjoying, I mentally "fix" it. It's like, "Yes, yes, but these are only the parts the author is telling me about, because he only talks about the stuff he's interested in/his editors tell him he should write." I've done this since I was a kid, even with stories that weren't particularly sexist, but that I needed something more from (I also started writing my own stuff, as I didn't realize you could actually write fanfiction until much much later).
With Naruto, I've mentally fixed so much that I've started to feel ownership - and how can I stop reading my own story? Yes, I'm a bit mad, maybe resigned and definitely over-invested.
There's one good thing about your experience with Naruto, which is that you've been able to clearly define within yourself what is acceptable to you and what is not. I wonder if I personally, let things go too easily. I guess the best thing you can do, is support and promote and write the type of stories and characters that you like.
