SasuNaru fan #1: "The difference between SasuNaru and SasuSaku as far as violence, to me, is that Sasuke actually shows regret when he hurts Naruto badly. He's never once shown remorse for hurting Sakura, with the one exception of his brief "Thank You"...before knocked her out and placed her on a bench. All the times post-timeskip that he's tried to kill her, he hasn't even hesitated. The violence in that pairing is pure violence, there's no other feelings really "underneath the underneath". Sasuke's reactions and facial expressions change completely when he is suddenly facing Naruto though (just look at the end of VotE or the end of the second reunion), which is why I don't count the violence in the two pairings as being exactly the same. (...) And NaruSaku...I never understood why Sakura always felt the need to punch Naruto across a field whenever he acted like...well, like himself. I didn't blame her for punching him when he was being a pervert, but 90% of the time she was punching him for just being near her or saying something stupid. And she punched hard. I don't think Naruto deserved that. That's one of the hundreds of reasons why I hate that pairing. The violence in that pairing is un-needed."
SasuNaru fan #2: "Narusaku I despise w/ a passion b/c of how sakura treated Naruto for these years and people think they're suppose to end up happily ever after, puhleeze! She plays w/ his emotions for her and lies to him. I mean, he would be her second choice and Naruto deserves much better than second choice. He deserves to be happy in the end and I honestly think he wouldn't be w/ sakura. (...) SOME Narusaku/sakura fans like to say that the whole beatings thing is just comedy and besides Naruto could easily dodge them if he wanted. It's no big deal. No big deal?! The bitch--excuse me, the girl is beating on him like he's a damn punching bag. Last time I checked, people don't beat up on ones they care about. And you sure as hell don't use their feelings for you against them. Ugh, I despise Narusaku so much b/c of such bull as that. (...) Horrible, ugly, boldfaced lying to Naruto. Poor thing. Some friend sakura is."
Wow. I mean, I don't doubt that Sasuke feels *something* for betraying his friends, but there's no huge discrepency between how he reacts to Sakura and Naruto.
And yes, Sakura hitting him *is* comedy. Do not forget that you are watching a kid's show. Exaggerated violence is a motif of that, even over here. Just look at Warner Bros.
People just WILL NOT GET IT. It is not meant to be abuse. We are talking about a girl who can break rocks. If she wanted to do Naruto damage, she could. Moreover, most of the hitting is not canon, as it only occurs in the anime. But of course the bashers don't see it that way.
