The discussion describes the biggest flaw within the Reddit community. There is a huge divide between readers and viewers. Most arguments point to a lack of research and knowledge.

While this is a recurring problem within the community, one thing is for sure. The mangaka failed a lot at writing wholesome romances in his series.

Masashi Kishimoto’s ineptitude in romantic stories

Writing female characters is not Masashi Kishimoto best suit But writing romance novels is completely out of the question. It gave us some beautiful couples in the story.

Whether it’s Kushina-Minato or Shikamaru-Temari, that doesn’t negate the problem. From stalking to obsession, the series normalized problematic behaviors as love. This is especially true with Sakura’s undying devotion to Sasuke. And there is more.

From Hinata’s bullying to Sakura’s obsessionKishimoto struggled to write healthy relationships. On top of that, there are several inconsistencies between the characters’ romances.

Most of the romances in the series feel rushed. This is the case with Naruto and Hinata’s dynamic. Amid the toxic ideals of love, there are only a handful of healthy relationships. Most importantly, fans tend to ignore these subtle details.

Simply put, fans’ hatred of a character is often attributed to their lack of knowledge. While this is a recurring problem, it only creates more chaos within the fandom.

naruto is available for streaming on Crunchyroll. The manga is available to read on Viz Media.
