She is a character that I like. Yes, she is a know-it-the-fucking-all annoying fangirl that disliked the titular character and has two personalities and is useless and all of the fuck else you can say (hell, everybody and their dog can say, and has done so and will do) in "Naruto" reviews.

And this I say in the same way that Rabbit (y'know, Eminem) goes all "yeah, I'm white trailer trash that has crapped out every time he's tried to rap so far on this stage, I admit it, and is there anything else you are going to say about me or is that all you can think of?" in the finale of "8 Mile".

(And damn... in retrospective Clarence is Anthony Mackie... Rappin' Falcon, that's pretty cool).

But I saw her on pictures regarding the show and I felt she was cute and cool and I started watching the show because of her and as a guy with a family with an EXTENSIVE history of shitty marriages, one of which is my own sister, I must add (younger, and my other one is dating a guy and I honestly spend a lot of time praying he won't be douche if and when they tie the knot, too), I really don't like that the decision they decided to give her as a canon history was to marry her to Sasuke, who kinda doesn't seem to have learnt his lesson -- versions of the guy that try to be better people and husbands are ok, but canon him was gone for ten years and... oh, yeah, tries to kill his kid when he first meets her after those ten years because he can't recognize her and I haven't seen the "Boruto" show but is he trying to make up for that lost time? Don't know.

And oh, yeah, the plot of what "Gaiden" manga was having Sakura's kid be all "is she my mom or not?". Yeah, good one, Kishimoto -- woman spends ten years of her life taking care of a kid and you think it's a good idea to pull that shit and be bad in both set-up and execution. Even a "ok, I'm not your bio-mom, but who actually spent all of your life trying to make you happy?" kind of moment would have been better than "Why does that woman has my glasses on that picture? Oh, she's probably my bio-mom!" "Kid, it's just a gift I gave the family, Sakura's your mom." "...okay."

Kishimoto doesn't likes her, either, which he's said in interviews. And all I can think of is that if he felt he had to add some girl to Team Seven because he's added one girl to almost every other team, then why in the hell couldn't he think of either find ways to make her more likable to himself and thus stop yanking her damn chain or, you know, make another damn character to put in that spot that HE LIKED?!?

Oh, yeah, versions of her doing stuff like life-sucking can go give a shotgun muzzle a blow-job for all I care about them.

Diverging here (again) for a sec to also say that I dig Sasuke. Although my personal preference is definitely AUs where he's not a revenge-obsessed jack-off. Or if he still is, he at least understands the value of strength in numbers and maintaining loyalty. OR AT THE VERY LEAST does an "oh... yeah, I fucked up with that 'running away' thing, didn't I?", which is still a hell of a lot more than I've seen from him in canon. Canon versions of the guy definitely need some more concussions.
