zotmoun replied to your post “I don’t follow naruto next gen at all (I just reblog gifs of the kids...”
Sakura is an elite Jonin medic ninja with Hokage status priveleges or perhaps I suppose you didn't read that about her before you write such a dispicable post regarding her accomplishments?
Um.....I never disregarded Sakura’s accomplishments? That post wasn’t even about her, it was about Naruhina and, more specifically, Hinata and I only mentioned Sakura in passing. So, I mean, congrats on that reach I guess?
Anyway, me pointing out that the kunoichi were written in a misogynistic way by being turned into a bunch of housewives does not in any way detract from Sakura’s accomplishments. And.....like.....you can’t really say that I’m wrong for pointing that out. Sakura is a housewife. She takes care of Sarada and sometimes we see her punch stuff and we saw her do a little healing in the Boruto movie but like that’s it.
Like if you’re gonna get mad, get mad at the writers for making all the women stay home and take care of the kids and clean the house while all the male ninja are still out doing missions and shit. Get mad at them for essentially rendering Sakura’s entire narrative - which was to improve herself as much as possible so that she would no longer be a burden - useless by making her a stay at home mom who, as far as we know, doesn’t go on missions or do ninja work anymore. Meanwhile, her former teammates who were her main motivation for improving herself, are still very much involved in ninja work. Naruto’s the hokage, for fuck’s sake, and Sakura is packing Sasuke’s lunch and seeing Sarada off on missions. It’s an unsatisfying conclusion to a compelling and interesting, but poorly handled character arc.
Also, like, why was my post despicable? Because I pointed out a very real and present narrative problem that this show seems to have and you didn’t like it? Sorry, but my critique is valid and the fact that you don’t like it doesn’t make it bad. It just means that you refuse to critically engage with the media you consume, which is your problem, not mine.
