Summary
Companion fic to "does Tobirama hate the Uchiha?"
Meta and commentary on how Tobirama's character is sanitized and how is Hashirama used in fandom to make Tobirama blameless and into a character who has "done nothing wrong".
Who caused the most problems? Tobirama or Hashirama? How does this factor into who is shipped with what character and why? What happens if a loved character is morally objectionable unfavorably?
What is with the Hashirama bashing and Tobirama being placed on a pedestal by fandom? Why is it hard to talk critically without someone getting into onesided flaming? What creates this defensiveness and type of fandom environment?
Bonus section. Why might Madara be turned into an irredeemable monster when it comes to purifying Tobirama's character? The idea Tobirama hates the Uchiha is rejected by claims Madara had an unreasonable hatred for Tobirama, why is it this way?
(from its first date of post, chapter 1 went through many revisions and edits)
