crap, wrong show.



Try to recall, I was ASKED, I didn't go around shouting Naruto is
sexist and nobody should like it. ;p

My point is that, not having continued with the series, it's rather unfair
for you to characterize it in such a way. If you're not going to stick
with

How much of a series do I have to watch before I can decide I don't like it
because it's disgustingly sexist?

I didn't read one or two issues of Naruto. I read something along the lines
of ten volumes.

If you think that's not a good enough sample to judge it by, fine, but I
disagree. My view is not "distorted", it is based upon what I saw in those
ten volumes of the series. I have already pointed out (three times now) that
I am willing to admit it might be less sexist later. That doesn't make the
first ten volumes somehow different. Nor is the first ten volumes a "start".
There are entire series' that are not that long. I don't have to stick with
it for 40-odd volumes before I can have an opinion on the series, and it is
unreasonable of you to ask me to. If I had only read maybe one volume, your
complaint that I haven't seen enough to judge would be legitimate - but I
didn't, and therefore it isn't.

You want to argue why it's NOT disgustingly sexist in the first ten volumes,
go ahead... but I notice every one of your examples came from after that. Or
don't - I don't really care to argue specific examples anyway, because it is
the totality of everything I saw, not any one specific example, that made me
dislike it.

I was asked why I thought it was disgustingly sexist. I said why, with the
caveat that I had seen a certain portion of the series and that I was
willing to admit it might be different later. I do not really see the
grounds for your complaint.
