#and god dont Even get me started on rin. possibly the only female character who feels more disrespectfully written than sakura

Why is kishimoto constantly saying naruto and obito are the same??? I dont understand what he's trying to say?? I thought obito was how he is bc he was protected from hardship by loving relationships within his clan. And then when the Rin stuff happened he turned his back on his bonds and became a villain. So by seeing naruto and his bonds and remembering a time he was loved, obito would be redeemed. And the idea would be that people want to be good but they need the support of others. But no apparently Obito's an orphan??? So his behavior is a cry for attention like naruto's. So. I don't understand what we're saying here with obito? Because when faced with tragedy naruto doubles down on his resolution and obito's resolve buckled and broke. Maybe it's to say that an uchiha couldn't be the ninja world savior because of their cursed love? That it had to be a senju? Because if so, I hate that. Some making it all about bloodlines. I just. I don't understand what the point of obito is....

#im thinking too hard abt this but i want it to make sense. i just find obito extremely boring as a stand along character #and god dont Even get me started on rin. possibly the only female character who feels more disrespectfully written than sakura #just. ugh. i like that obito is a knife twisting in kakashi's gut but hes so fucking booooring god. and how tf did i not kno he was an #orphan until like 385 episodes in???? i like my conceptualization of him better #that he was a privileged kid who acted like naruto bc he was nieve and then broke under pressure. not that his optimism was a coping #mechanism. ugh. fucking obito. why???? #unrelated #naruto ramblings #im prob overthinking it. it mught just be naruto saying we're the same! and empathy wins #but it feels like it wants to me more than that
