bespectaclednerd:

The Childhoods of Naruto;
How it must feel…so much hatred and hostility…to be treated with an animosity so intense as to be annihilating…to have around you many who would deny you even the right to exist...
― Third Hokage
You see, I’m going to go on a bit of a rant here, so sorry.

Naruto’s backstories irritate me. If you look, every backstory is exactly the same, save for a couple exceptions (Kakashi, basically). Either a lot of people around them died when they were younger due to them being a special little snowflake, or, due to being a special little snowflake, everyone hated them.

While you can argue that these backstories are similar due to a common theme, that doesn’t make them good backstories. In fact, even in those terms, these backstories mess up. A theme works when it’s subtle, a background idea. The cast of Evangelion, for example, all have parent issues, but each one has issues in very different respects. The cast of Sailor Moon—a far milder example—all deal with being ostracized in some way, due to either their bodies, sexuality, or personal interests. However, Mako-chan being ignored because she’s a huge lady (in Japanese standards) and Ami being ignored due to her nerdiness is not the same. Naruto and Gaara? Identical.

Just always irked me…
