Reality failure, please reboot the Universe...

[askerian]

Okay, trusty F-list. I need your help to puzzle out something. (caveat: People have a right to ship what they want, or hate or like any character they want even for DID YOU READ THE MANGA PROPERLY reasons) But.

Riddle me this:


1) Sasuke is an asshole, a dirty traitor, and an utter prick, who deserves to die alone, preferably in a fire,
2) Naruto deserves SOOOO much better and SasuNaru is an utterly horrible pairing because Sasuke hurts Naruto all the time, tried to KILL HIM, and doesn't give a shit at the best of times,
3) Itachi/Naruto OTP!!! nnnghsocute. X333333333


THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH DOTS IN THE UNIVERSE.

I was still okay till I hit Itachi/Naruto and then my brain crashed and had to reboot.

Not enough dots.

[askerian]

Yeah, I have no problem with the Sasuke opinion, I mean, he IS an asshole and a lot of people wouldn't forgive him. (I just wouldn't choose to chat with this person, is all. Fandom's big enough for two.)

But bashing Sasuke to hell and back with such righteous indignation and contempt...

... and then going on to happily ship ItaNaru.

I would even be happy to accept that the two issues are totally unrelated in the person's brain but. The posts. They do not read that way.

(Neither does the fanfic.)

... what. o__O*

Someone missed a big step in the leap of logic there. Unless this person also believes Itachi is OMGINNOCENT and a FLUFFYBUNNYRLY because he didn't actually kill the clan and it was a trick, and he saved Naruto's life a bunch of times when Naruto was very tiny and small TRUFAX.

No, not enough dots, but I will lend you mine, at the very least.

...Wtf.

[askerian]

It kinda weirds me out how her opinion on Sasuke seems to be based on canon -- albeit she concentrates on the bad side and ignores the redeeming bits. Fair enough, it's not sufficiently redeeming for a lot of people and Sasuke's still not really asking to be forgiven anyway.

But then in the same post, same topic, she goes on with bwee itanaru otp.

I see nothing wrong with liking fanonized, SEMEuke formatted pairings. Well, it's wrong for ME but not for everyone. Or being a secret fan of the "Itachi is a nice guy deep down" theory -- much like Sasuke using Sexy no Jutsu, it's got no chance to ever be canon, but boy can it be hawt to imagine anyway. But ummmmmmm. HOW COME ITACHI GETS REFORMATTED INTO DARKLY HANDSOME NICE GUY AND SASUKE INTO ANTICHRIST IN THE SAME BREATH IN A THREAD DISCUSSING THE MANGA. I mean I understand how one might want an antagonist for their fanonized version of a pairing, but DO YOU REMEMBER THAT FANON VERSION DOESN'T EXIST ANYWHERE OUTSIDE OF YOUR HEAD DDD;

Sera, hide me T____T

[askerian]

Thank you for your support to the cause. T.T We are three dots closer to "enough". Only seventy forty-five bazilion to go~

I'm pretending number 3 doesn't exits. Unfortunately, my brain fries every time I try to contemplate 'that which does not exist'.

So to save my brain cells from electrocution I'm only going to concentrate on the first two.

Yes, Sasuke is a traitor and has done some very bad things. Yes, most people would consider that Naruto does 'deserve better'.

That doesn't mean they can't get together.

Naruto has shown a remarkable capacity for forgiveness, so I'm sure he'd forgive Sasuke (eventually at least). Also, Naruto may deserve better, that doesn't mean he may want better, love/lust/like doesn't always work that way. As for Sasuke, he's a bit of an ass, so if he decided he wanted to be with Naruto, he'd probably (at least) try despite his previous actions.

GOD I LOVE THIS FANDOM.

(Do you, perchance, have the links to said posts? And fanfic? My flu-ridden self is in desperate need of such lulz.)

[mydarkseclusion.livejournal.com]

I'm trying to choose whether to laugh or cry. I still haven't decided.

[windandwater.livejournal.com]

I figured that the only way to make her argument work would be to bastardize-canonize Sasuke, while fanonizing the HELL out of Itachi. But lots of people do that though, just to "justify" their own pet pairings or OTPs.

>_>;; Why can't you OTP whoever you want and leave them as is? It's not like it's canon anyway.

*throws a blanket over you* NOW YOU ARE INVISIBLE.

[askerian]

Sorry, I try not to link people to that kind of stuff. Boggling at people being stupid is an okay pastime, but sending other people their way to laugh at them more closely might be the first step toward the Dark Side. >_>;;;

The fanfic wasn't a huge part of my bogglement, really. X_x

[askerian]

You can laugh for a bit while I cry. We'll switch later. T.T

..........................................

It gets me anew every time I see it. Every damn time. I always have this insane urge to flail wildly at them sputter "But but but...!" and gesticulate at Itachi and his canon characterization.

Itachi is a member of what is essentially a terrorist organization, the main goal of which is apparently to create a bomb using bijuu, the only way to obtain which is to rip them from their carriers. This process is well known to kill said characters. Therefore, Itachi is in fact actively trying to kill Naruto on a regular basis.

How is this better than trying to kill your best friend to obtain an ability that apparently requires you to kill the person closest to you, and in the end being completely unable to do it? How? Really, I need someone to explain this to me. It makes absolutely no sense.

*breaths in and out deeply* /ranting :D?

[askerian]

Ngh yes, why can't people just enjoy their pet pairings for what they are, instead of immediately HATING everything that might get in the way? It's already stupid even for sasusaku and narusaku shippers, but the more cracktastic the pairing is and the more ridiculous the attitude gets. ~____~


*hides yay* ;.;

[fujiko1601.livejournal.com]

Because Itachi is obviously so much nicer than Sasuke. XD.He's just after Naruto to protect him from evil Sasuke.

[askerian]

Heh ^^ yeah, that's what I think except said even better. ♥

People who hate Sasuke and think he absolutely NEVAR can get with Naruto/Sakura because of his faults kind of forget that THEY might hate it, but Naruto and Sakura have proven quite extensively that they don't give much of a fuck. Hell, for Naruto, Sasuke is as good as it gets, and he doesn't care if everyone thinks he's got a skewed sense of perspective. ♥

[askerian]

-- The light. I SEE IT.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

DDDDDDD:

[askerian]

That's what I'm wondering, yes. Guhh.

Bashing people for whatever reason is bad. very bad. But I confess there are some people I might enjoy watching in secret when canon gets around to their specific HAHAHAHAHAHA NO moments.

[phlegmaticphrog.livejournal.com]

I kind of lurked about the ItaNaru fandom for a while, so I've seen this quite a bit. My only explanation is that this person is between 14 and 17, saw Itachi's flowing Pantene Pro V hair and pretty painted finger nails and immediately thought "OMG he uses the same body care products as me! I can relate!". And from there the fluffy-bunny Itachi who's the bestest most sweetest BF in all the LAND was born.

Or, that's my way of rationalizing so this will stop hurting my brain.

[askerian]

... XD XD XD

[sporksaredivine.livejournal.com]

Well, destroying Sasuke's life was OBVIOUSLY done because Sasuke is a total asshole and deserved it. Even though Sasuke only becomes asshole after the massacre, but really, who cares about such small details?
So really, Itachi is a good guy, and all he wants is to avenge Naruto for all the sorrow Sasuke put him through.

Duh.

xD

[windandwater.livejournal.com]

It's just an expansion of the "they're in the same panel together! They must be fucking!" justification of pairings. I think people who like crackpairings just think they have to BE LOUD ABOUT WHAT THEY LIKE because they're OMGTHEMINORITY.

[kylara.livejournal.com]

Hahahaha! I once watched someone go on about how he disliked Sasuke: for betraying his village, for betraying his friends, for trying to kill Naruto, for joining a criminal who's out to destroy Konoha, etc. etc. Then this person, in the same post, announced that his favorite character was Itachi.

The dots, there are never enough!

This is why I do not read forum discussions anymore. XD

*about to speak*

...

*sighs*

...I just don't know. *>.<*

I love you at any rate. :) I try to ignore that which breaks my brain. *^.^*

[miaka2u.livejournal.com]

But, didn't you know that ItaNaru according to Kishimoto is canon now? You didn't caught that one minor detail? Just give it up, your fandoms aren't canon and you suck.

XDDDDDDDDD No, really though..... everyone's entitled to their own opinion, but watch what kind of fire you fight back with. That flame they had right there just exploded back into their face with number 3. <3
