By the way the hatred towards all of this comes almost entirely from westerners (primarily Americans) because the idea of destiny to them directly antagonizes their personal values of freedom.

Let me put it this way. Look at the number of people here who believe with all their heart that the core theme of Naruto is about hard work, that the defining moments in the series are Rock Lee vs Gaara and Naruto vs Neji, despite the fact this is around 2 years into a 15 year series. Lee is primarily a gag character who one-ups Sasuke, loses to Gaara, is about to be killed by Kimimaro when he returns, fights a filler tier clone of himself, and is never relevant again outside of a spin-off gag series. But you fuckers still treat him like he was meant to be the second coming of Christ just because his message was "hard work overcoming natural talent".

You favor actualization as a story concept because it's your cope that you have unlimited potential and can do anything if you try hard enough, and the only reason you're not extremely successful right now is because you haven't actually tried. The very idea that some people are more suited to success on a base level is offensive to you because that limits your potential and by extension personal freedom. The idea of destiny in a story isn't that someone is handed all their successes with no work. It's that the character by his very nature is suited to achieve great things. But keep coping that as long as you have the potential to do something, that makes you hot shit.
