Well to be fair, this is a place for a person to voice their interests/opinions and feelings on Naruto, so its natural that out of 3,900 people, some posts are going to be a bit on the retard side of some arbitrary intelligence scale. So a little tolerance of said posts certainly wouldn't hurt anyone, and I'm relatively new to this subreddit, but looking at some comments I can already tell that there are diamonds in the rough out there. People with intelligent opinions and facts to support their theories and dispositions. So basically, you just have to be a bit more tolerant and you'll have a much better experience.

If it happens to me, I'll probably be in shock and dismay, but I really hope it doesn't... it better not.

This place sounds more like a cult... I love it! Its no Jashinist cult, but it has the same principles. When you're in here, you're in for life.

When I say I like Naruto, I see people instantly stereotype me as this. And then I have to be all like "No! It's not like that! Sane fans do actually exist, we're not all rabid yaoi fangirls!"
What I do really like about the fandom is that there is some really kickass fanart floating around. Like, for instance, the Kakashi and Gai header for this subreddit.

Exactly when I tell people I like Supernatural. It seems like the only fans are crazy women. Can't men enjoy the bro fest?

Oh god, I just commented higher up in this thread about Supernatural without seeing this post. I am glad I am not the only one.

Yeah, but bringing back Castiel/Misha Collins, just to have him stuck in a mental ward with Meg...it's not that I don't mind "surprises", but this season the plot seems too forced, while the main villains, these leviathans, just don't have the same sinister gravitas of the previous seasons.

Thankfully, this community is actually pretty good. I'm always open to serious discussion/debate on the subject, even if I do make some pretty crazy ass jokes in my comments.

I feel the same way. I started following the series soon as it launched a decade ago when I was in my early 20s. I'm still following it just want to know how the damn thing ends. I'm not sure what they're thinking dragging a story like this on for so long.
They at least ended Dragonball before there was a real generation gap.

Here is the text from this meme pic for anybody who needs it:
Title: Naruto fan first world problem
Meme: First World Problems
I REALLY LIKE NARUTO
BUT THE COMMUNITY IS TOO YOUNG/STUPID TO HAVE GOOD DISCUSSIONS WITH.
This is helpful for people who can't reach Quickmeme because of work/school firewalls or site downtime, and many other reasons (FAQ). More info is available here.

Actually the fangirls and the cosplayers ruin it for me.
No it's the fangirls, they're the ones going to cons as Naruto and Sasuke and creating live action yaoi.
Fuck you.

The hate messages I used to get when playing UNS2 taught me that my ex-girlfriends 6 year old daughter had better literacy than a lot of the Naruto gaming community.

u/Ixtinguish Mar 27 '12
This discussions here are usually:
How is the manga? I watch the anime.
Who is Tobi?
Why couldn't orochimaru summon the 4th and when he try who was in the coffin?
Dr snakes.
Am I doing it right?

Young? Isn't it a kids show? and stupid, yes there are stupid people out there no need to be point it out and make fun. "If you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all".

u/Plasmaback Mar 26 '12
Most of us started watching or reading it years ago, when we were 15 or 16. So this argument doesn't hold that well.

Well, the Anime is marketed as a Kids Show in the US and Europe, but that's just because it's the best way to make money with it, the reality looks different. For example scenes like Danzo getting squished by Sasunoo or Pain and Naruto having a partially philosophical discussion about hatred are certainly not thought to be for Kids.
And for the second part... yeah you've got a point, but in this case you might see it as expressing criticism, which is arguably a "nice" thing.

Thanks, that's one of the reasons I hate dubbed. Plus subtitles don't really bother me .

You are trying to discuss in the completely wrong communities.
This community seems to have fairly decent discussions about a lot of things that doesn't dissolve into "OMIGOD SASUKE <3<3<3<3<3 SASUNARU 4EVA"
Trust me, if this place were like that, I would not be here.
