Yeah. I'm really put off with all the gender idiocy he has going in his manga. I always thought Sakura post-timeskip would turn out to be something worth reading. ...But nope.

He also tends to fail with his side characters, too. Except maybe Shikamaru.

She was awesome for a little bit. And then she got watered back down to the bullshit that was Part 1 Sakura.

Okay, you know, I don't actually mind Sakura being emotional... because she is. And I don't mind her being conflicted over killing Sasuke, because I think it's rather understandable. But the execution of this fucking sucks. It would be one thing for her to waver at any other time... but in the most crucial moment?

And yeah, what the fuck is with her allowing herself to be choked? She could break his wrist like a toothpick.

Grrrrrrr. I am less than happy.

I think Kishi is out to destroy Sakura's character even more. I am just cringing with every new chapter she is in because clearly, Kishi wants to completely ruin her as a character of worth. =___=; It's fucking ridiculous what he's done to her. He's boiled her back down to Part 1 Sakura.

I just want to be like, "Dude, if you don't want her, can we have her? We'll take much better care of her character than you."

Seriously. :|

Naruto is always genderfail. It's one of the reasons I barely read anymore (though I still keep up, in a vague way). I actually thought stabbing Karin was the most egregious genderfail to date, because it seemed too much like the women in refrigerators trope. It has become a misogynistic caricature of whatever it once was.

Also, no offense to your ship, but all the people who "haven't given up on" Sasuke look like tools. Sasuke is an asshole and deserves for people to give up on him. At this point, he's really just as bad as any of the villains to date have been, probably worse because he thinks it's cool to turn on his own people. I just know his redemption is going to be godawful, probably worse than Pain's was. I'm actually surprised anyone can look at how Sasuke is in the manga now and want people to not give up on him.

Lol that whole second paragraph is just... TRUEST FACTS.

And at least Karin got pulled back out of the fridge. Now she can go back to being ignored by the author. :(

Having just been linked to the actual chapter and not just the spoilers, I have to say the best part in my personal opinion was the VERY LESBIAN moment between Karin and Sakura. :'D

[the_sun_is_up]

YES THE CHEST-GROPING WAS A+ AND PRETTY MUCH THE ONLY NON-HORRIBLE THING IN THIS CHAPTER.

[scarlet_pencil]

Ugh. I love Sakura, why does Kishi have to screw her over every two minutes? :| This kind of stuff is what killed the series for me.

[sub_textual]

He hates wimmins.

[the_sun_is_up]

Did Kishimoto forget that Sakura is supposed to have superhuman strength?

No really, I am pretty sure that he just FORGOT. Or he just has some weird vendetta against her, which is stupid because HE CREATED HER.

*epicfacepalm*

I think he has a vendetta. I really do.
