Actual self harm is a seriously issue, but how it's used in the fictional ninja world of Naruto is not anything similar to people who cut themselves or worse in real life and the tag is strange, along with smoking tags.

Examples: Sasuke stabbing himself to free himself from fear, summoning and other blood jutsus.

If your 4 year old feels the need to hurt themselves to feel something, watching Naruto isn't the problem.

Actual self harm is the issue my friend. Thats why the warning is there.

Is Naruto about self harm? Almost certainly not I imagine.

Kids can get all sorts of bizarre notions in their heads. Some kid can overhear something and misunderstand it and it can fuck with their whole development. Theres unfortunately a lot of people who get a lot of their life lessons from fiction. Sometimes fiction that is simply not well written.

A kid can simply think theres something cool about something they are seeing and decide to try it just out of curiosity. And kids are extremely impressionable. Self harm is a very real thing that young people are especially vulnerable to.

So fuck off with any kind of nanny state rhetoric BS, theres a lot of young people going through some real shit. A few benign caution labels arent gonna fucking hurt you.
