I approve of this fic because I have a big soft spot for Naruto fanfic that doesn’t make me shut off my brain, and I enjoyed the first chapter.
If the fic were well-intentioned but dreadful to read, I would say so; it wouldn’t even occur to me to lie about that, to myself or others. I thought that would be obvious, but the ghastly examples in the article you linked make it clear that this kind of honesty is far less ubiquitous than I’d assumed.
Be careful of automatically approving of things that approve of ideas that you approve of.

The author and I appreciate your honesty, sketerpot, and Pavitra: thanks for bringing that up.
Well said.
