NH has stolen so many SNS moments/parallels before, so seeing that they proclaim Hinata as the 'moon' is no surprise to me. ʅ(́◡◝)ʃ

Yeah, it’s a well-known fact that NH “borrowed” a couple of elements from SNS’ dynamic in order to establish Hinata as Naruto’s love interest. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Character; Karin Uzumaki 😚

GIVE ME A CHARACTER;

How I feel about this character:

I like Karin. ♥

All the people I ship romantically with this character:

I support SasuKarin. 

My non-romantic OTP for this character:

NaruKarin, SasuKarin, and SakuKarin. 

My unpopular opinion about this character:

She is a well-written female character, and I don’t find her to be ‘nasty’ either.

One thing I wish would happen/had happened with this character in canon:

Errr, I always wanted her to have an in-depth conversation with Naruto.

[slashers-hell]

(continued...) As for NH and SS claims... 1) Naruto was too dense to realise Hin//ata's love for him or his love for her. 2) The genjutsu was used to help Naruto tell the difference between love for food and romantic love. Not to guilt-trip him. 3) Sasuke acknowledged Naruto and Sakura on the same level.

Send me claims you’re sick of hearing, and I’ll refute them.

1) Naruto was too dense to realise Hinata’s love for him or his love for her.

How can you be too dumb to realise that you love someone? You could possibly be unsure how to describe that feeling, but you still know that you regard the person you love as special. Naruto never showed signs of regarding Hinata as special in a romantic context. Furthermore, the infamous scene from The Last where Naruto doesn’t understand love is a retcon, meaning it’s a literary device in which established facts in fictional work are adjusted, ignored, or contradicted by a subsequently published work to maintain continuity with the former. That’s also why it doesn’t make sense since Naruto actually canonically understands love, which is obvious in the very first chapters.

What about the time he explained to Zabuza what love is? It’s an important moment; it proves that Naruto doesn’t believe in the ninja systems’ glorification of blind devotion to rules. Naruto was against the idea of choosing your duties over your friends. He was against the idea of being a tool and displaying no feelings. He was against the idea of watching your friends die without shedding a tear. And why? Because he understood the concept of love.

2) The genjutsu was used to help Naruto tell the difference between love for food and romantic love. Not to guilt-trip him.

The genjutsu was used to normalise the idea that Naruto didn’t know what love is and to guilt-trip him into feeling bad for not loving Hinata back. After realising Hinata loved him all this time, Naruto displayed a guilt-ridden expression, as if he felt bad for the years of unrequited love Hinata had to endure, which therefore means he, in fact, was guilt-tripped into accepting her feelings. Shortly after that incident, he suddenly claimed to be in love with her.

3) Sasuke acknowledged Naruto and Sakura on the same level.

No, he didn’t. This is evident in the way he treated Naruto as his equal and wanted to fight him, whilst the same does not apply to Sakura. 

[slashers-hell]

I have some really silly claims about SNS like you asked :P 1) SNS could never be canon or had no potential to be. 2) Two men cannot be best friends without being shoved into a gay relationship. 3) Any friends would do that for each other.

Send me claims you’re sick of hearing, and I’ll refute them.

1) SNS could never be canon or had no potential to be.

There’s a difference between having the potential to be canon or becoming canonised. Canon pairings aren’t necessarily good pairings; likewise, pairings that aren’t canonised do not necessarily lack potential. When it comes to SNS, the potential is very real, but unfortunately, they had never a realistic chance of being canonised for the following reasons. Firstly, the targeted audience and the sociocultural background of Naruto is conservative. I’ve never expected Naruto and Sasuke to be in an actual romantic relationship by the end of the manga. The genre and the cultural context play an important role. To expect a Japanese shounen manga this popular to end with the male protagonist choosing his male rival over two already established possible female love interests is simply unrealistic. 

For example, Yuri!!! on Ice managed to overcome these difficulties of censorship. Kubo fought a lot to create a universe for queer individuals who can relate to non-hetero interpersonal relationships. But Kubo is not Kishimoto, and Shueisha Inc. knows their respective audience well enough to judge whether or not the series would survive a homosexual ending, which in Naruto’s case, both Shueisha Inc. and Studio Pierrot intended to further profit from the series. So including the genre, the cultural context, and the staff, I can’t see a romantic SNS having ever been taken into consideration. Still, Naruto and Sasuke have enough development to be canonised.

2) Two men cannot be best friends without being shoved into a gay relationship.

This is a blatant lie. Our society is heavily influenced by heteronormativity. Thus, heterosexuality is expected and labelled as natural. Anything that doesn’t fit into the norm counts as unnatural. Since Naruto and Sasuke fit into the norm, they are immediately seen as heterosexual, hence why we have fans claiming Naruto and Sasuke are definitely straight despite the fact that their sexuality was never confirmed. Some of these fans even think it’s absurd to challenge their perception by saying Naruto and Sasuke are not straight. 

Their beliefs are strongly shaped by heteronormativity to the point where they believe it is laughable to disagree with their opinion since they expect everyone who fits into the norm to be heterosexual anyway. This is why it’s only logical to infer that the claim “Two men cannot be best friends without being shoved into a gay relationship” is likely to be untrue. In fact, we come across fans describing an innocent conversation between characters of the opposite sex to be of romantic nature, whereas a similar conversation between characters of the same sex would be described as solely friendly. Why? They expect characters to be straight—unless their behaviour goes against gender norms.

3) Any friends would do that for each other.

Lol, the way this subjective claim works is by using the argument that NH and SS were canonised. “Any friends would do that for each other. This is true because Naruto and Sasuke aren’t in a romantic relationship.” The thing is, there is no absolute truth in literature. I could use the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet in order to prove them wrong. Romeo was willing to die for Juliet, and both are regarded as the archetypal lovers in our today world’s society. Naruto was willing to die for Sasuke. So Kishimoto used a typical romantic trope right there, and they cannot deny it.
