@sibert1m@BamBamAOT i think it actually made it realistic. imo it was necessary to build up the audience’s attachment to Eldia as the “default” to later make it difficult to accept the nuance of the Marleyans. because in real life we usually have loyalties and prejudice that cloud our judgment
@BrotherrrSam@NiaFrome definitely going to read a burst of light first then! and honestly it’s great that you still recommended diverse authors despite not knowing my race/gender because diversity should be the default
@BrotherrrSam@NiaFrome Thank you so much! And as a black woman, thank you for not just including stuff written by old white men lol. Will check these out
@generisyd honestly i wish every female character in naruto had a deeper storyline that didn’t revolve around men 💔 like why would you make a respected person like the MIZUKAGE obsess over marriage
@FranArt13992599@pendoragun@narusasuologist true! some people could genuinely be trying to make both sides happy, i just see too many people say sakura doesn’t “deserve” lee when all she did to him was not reciprocate his feelings. SO many valid reasons to hate her but this one is just “give nice guys a chance” misogyny
@mastakataa@pendoragun@narusasuologist when did she ever give a hint of romantic feeling for him? also, whyyy do you all think lee and sasuke are the only options in the world 💀 sasuke sucks, so she has to settle for someone she doesn’t like? if kishi can’t write her a good love interest she should just stay single
@FranArt13992599@pendoragun@narusasuologist why is lee her only other option tho? as i mentioned earlier, why couldn’t she have a different love interest or just stay single? karin was obsessed with sasuke and yet no one was telling him to settle for her, or say he has agency and could theoretically love her one day 😭
@FranArt13992599@pendoragun@narusasuologist i see what you mean, but we’ve never had any indication (that i know of, correct me if i’m wrong) that sakura’s feelings toward lee have ever changed, and people push this ship simply because lee likes her and that’s all that matters. she’s always been set on sasuke
@pendoragun@narusasuologist these ppl don’t even realize how blatantly misogynistic it is to tell sakura to “give the nice guy a chance” even if she’s not into him 😭 personally I wish she just found a new love interest entirely instead of forcing sasuke to like her back
