tempestuously | He's not angsting, he's BROODING

I really dislike it when people go on about how much Sasuke angsts. While angst does not necessarily require speaking, it's become associated with the word in the general public. It's a bit confusing since angst is not intended to be used as a verb in the first place. I think the dictionary still regards it as a noun only. A noun meaning "a feeling of anxiety or apprehension often accompanied by depression." Obviously, that's hardly applicable in fandom lingo. Back to the point. Since Sasuke rarely speaks about his issues, I wouldn't classify him as angsting in the fandom interpretation. He's BROODING. People need to stop hating him for going on about miserable his life is. Because he doesn't. His allusions to his life are succinct and variations of "You don't understand." Honestly, he's more bitchy than angsty. It's not like he goes into long diatribes about how the person he most care for betrayed him, how everyone else he cared for is dead and how he feels he's a complete weakling. Rather than bitching about it, Kishimoto shows Sasuke's "angst" through actions, through his decisions and through headache-inducing flashbacks. People should stop blaming Sasuke for the angst and blame Kishimoto for constantly drowning us in Sasuke's mindset. And now I shall ponder how Sasuke still manages to earn hate when we haven't even seen him for over a year. Get over it, guys!
