The Bleach and Boruto fandoms have always clashed against each other, especially due to their history of being hated by a substantial part of the anime fandom. The Bleach fandom has gained a reputation for being more passive and simply enjoying their series.

However, fans of the Masashi Kishimoto series have regularly engaged in the slandering of Tite Kubo's series. A similar attempt surfaced on social media sites recently, but instead of starting an uproar, it became a subject of ridicule due to how little effort was put into it.

The Boruto series has faced its fair share of criticism, and fans have not held back in criticizing other series released alongside it. One such post on X attempted to highlight how Tite Kubo's series is an amalgamation of subpar animation, inappropriate character development, and a toxic fanbase.

However, the post, which aimed to bash Tite Kubo's creation, only managed to draw laughter from the fandom, with the majority pointing out how low-effort the attempt was, especially since the recent releases of the TYBW arc have made it clear that this series is one of the best-animated Shonen series present. One fan also mentioned how this low-effort slander made them laugh out loud.

Fan reactions to slander

While the real intentions behind the post are unknown, a few fans mentioned how the entire post was low effort and not even a good enough attempt at slandering Tite Kubo's most famous series.

Many other fans also chimed in, mentioning how the attempts at hating Tite Kubo's series are too funny to be taken seriously, especially since the "haters" post about the series more than the actual fans. A few others mentioned how this post is a bait post with very little effort put into it.

"Bleach hate is so funny like y'all haters are more obsessed with the anime than us fans," one fan said.

"Bait used to be believable," another fan said.

A few fans also mentioned how the original post wasn't even trying to hype up the Boruto series and was only trying to slander a more successful series despite being made by a fan of the Boruto series.

"Notice how he isn't gassing up Boruto but shitting on other actually successful mangas?" One fan wrote.

Another fan mentioned how this might be a low-effort engagement farming attempt to gain monetary value from X engagement, an actual problem rampant on the site.

"Another useless engagement farming attempt by using popular buzzwords to slander a series that's 100 times better than Burrito. The rent is due it seems." Another fan mentioned.

While Tite Kubo's series has had its lows and highs, it is still one of the most memorable Shonen to come out in the last few decades. Its popularity is on a steady rise, especially due to the current adaptations of the TYBW arc.
