I wish the world was kinder to you
I will always be on Uchiha Sasuke's side because he stood against a system that can spy on you 24/7 with impunity, and then come at night and slaughter your entire family.
When your "allies" become your murderers.
That's why it's most offensive to me that Sasuke was destroyed as a character, and also that the system hasn't changed since Kakashi and Naruto came to power.
That is, Sasuke spent time in prison, and the elders continue to hold their positions of power. As if the humiliation wasn't enough, Kishimoto also took away Sasuke's arm.
I genuinely can't believe when people say Sasuke was too edgy and mean. No. That boy should've been MUCH more mean and edgy. Him telling Sakura she's annoying is nothing, him calling Naruto an loser is also nothing. This boy had his whole clan, which means close AND extended family, killed in one night. By one person that he trusted the most. Already enough to be justified in literally anything you say. And then later on that same brother comes back and tortures you some more. And you end up in coma. You wake up, and your Sensei starts speaking some "revange isn't good" bullshit. Then later on in life, you find out that not only was massacre a government ordered genocide, but they also GROOMED your brother into doing it. And then used him as a scapegoat. So naturally you go and kill that guy who ordered genocide of your clan. You kill his ass, then your old teammates show up, chick that's saying she loves you tries to kill you. Your supposed best friend can't take a hint and leave you alone. Your Sensei is again taking bullshit about "going down the dark path".
And this is not mentioning all the other bullshit my boy had to go trough.
All of this combined, and it's unreasonable that he didn't have even more crash outs. After all this shit he should've been genuinely unhinged and high-key insane.
:(
so much of sasuke's life (i would even argue the vast majority of his life) is about suffering and being traumatized, then being demonized for the way he suffers and is traumatized. and on top of all that, being used. he has suffered more than jesus christ
Sometimes I just wanna bring up how Sasuke is treated like a woman in the narrative and the fandom.
He to Naruto and Sakura is the prize. To Itachi is the damsel. To the leaf and fandom a cold hearted bitch who doesn't deserve the male protagonist's devotion even though he is a victim all the same and just didn't cope the way everyone wanted. He was not the perfect victim and even while striving to make his own destiny was manipulated and pushed by men's selfish desires. Always somehow relenting to the men in his life. The one time he does something for himself he is punished both by the narrative and the fandom. Then is finally married off to remain shackled to the same system that victimized him and his loved ones.
In this essay I will...
Sasuke being such a misunderstood character when they call him a psycho, but he has being canonically called gentle, kind and pure by the author.
This idea that the Uchiha were selfish and put their family above everything else is so obviously false based on the story, and a mere example of how of Konoha's leading class projected their faults on them.
In the warring era, some evil Uchiha abused a powerful jutsu to unfairly gain power, and what did the rest of the Uchiha do? Turn their backs and let them? No, they made a counterjutsu to confront them and put an end to the problem.
Madara had just lost his brother, was broken in pain. And what, did he go crazy so-called-curse-of-hatred mode? No, he gave up justice for the person he loved most in the world in exchange of peace, just because he believed Hashirama, his enemy, was offering a treaty in good faith.
Madara finds Hashirama is a shameless liar and tries to get the Uchiha to break the treaty, what do the Uchiha do? Follow him and resume war just because he is Uchiha? No, they explicitly discredit him and send him away.
Sasuke finds that Konoha murdered his whole family just because its leaders were power thirsty genocidal jerks, does he just go and automatically join Obito and Madara because they are Uchiha? No, he summons his enemies to hear their part of the story and ends up fighting against the two evil Uchiha to help save the village.
They are profiled and accused of acting on hatred and emotions, when over and over again we are shown evidence that they do what is fair. Even when they are targeted, mistrusted and treated like enemies.
You know who puts their own above the village, above peace, above justice and above whatever is needed? Freaking Konoha's leadership. Hashirama put his brother above everything, risking the treaty and Konoha, letting him do racist crap as he pleased. He put him above everyone's safety letting him develop the evil zombie army jutsu. Hiruzen put his student and friend above everything, turning a blind eye to their crimes. Naruto himself is putting his own interests and his predecessors above everything, never holding the advisors responsible for their crimes, sweeping everything under the rug.
All lies, all vicious slander to justify their crimes.
