Hey everyone, whats up?

I am just writing this message to address the issue of the insult, Narutard.

I think Naruto is a great show. There is nothing wrong with that. Naruto's popularity directly proves this (also the qulaity of its plot, characters, setting etc.).

So why do some people hate on Naruto and its fans so much that they would go to the lengths to make up such a silly nickname like Narutard , to label its viewers?

The answer is simple:

People who call others Narutards in fact love Naruto also but lack the selfconfidence/selfassurity to feel comfortable watching a show that can be enjoyed by all ages, namely little kids. On a side note there is a show in the US like that, its called The Simpsons.

The other main reason why people who are against Naruto go to such lengths to hate on Naruto is the way Naruto began. We all know that Naruto as a series started off slow and REALLY cheesy. So all those "seroius", "I only watch anime like GunGrave and Cowboy Bebop" anime fans were like, Ohh man this show sucks! I'll never waste my time on Naruto again! Then 15 episodes later (give or take) Naruto really started to heat up and started to really get intense. But stubborn, "I see myself as a badass individual" anime fan had already made a pact with himself to NEVER watch Naruto again so it was too late.

So why do people call Naruto fans, Narutards? Because deep down inside they know they are missing out on one of the best anime running presently because they are too proud, and too insecure but they are too weak to do go back on their ways because they are afraid of getting made fun of by their Naruto hating peers who they hang out with and be insecure together with.

For the record for the first 5-10 eps of Naruto I even felt like i was wasting my harddrive space but i did something that seems to be unprecedented with the Naruto haters, I actually took a chance and invested some time into something that looked shakey but also showed promise.

Well thanks everyone, its been fun.
