Why does everyone hate Naruto?

Western fanbase for anything is horrible. Doesn't really affect the quality of the series, whatever quality that may be.

I dunno. The western One Piece community is a pretty cool fan base. But on the other hand it's really hard to find something to hate in a manga as epic as it is. The Naruto fanbase made me cry when one guy made this super elaborate post on why Kishi is a genius in purposely making us hate the progression in the series, saying how genius the Pein arc "twist" was. That's how bad it got.
