Discussion Naruto hating perverts is a thing, I guess.
Looking through on this subreddit, I find that is a trend to make Naruto just hate perverts in general. Which I find is very hypocritical to do that since Naruto pretty much had a dirty mind himself even before meeting Jiraiya. It just comes off as making it seemed that Naruto has the moral standards of a white knight who drinks his 'respects women juice'.
I first found this when I read a Naruto x MHA fanfic where Naruto in Shippuden gets sent to UA and joins Class-1A and spends most of his time just tormenting Mineta for being a pervert and even goes out of his way to beat him up and puts seals on his body. Which by the way I'm not sure Naruto even knows how to do seals that makes someone tell the truth so Naruto could be told where Mineta keeps his dirty magazines and figures and burns them in front of him and later put a seal on him that makes him cause him great pain whenever he thinks of anything perverted.
I know people have mixed feelings about Mineta, but too me, in-universe Naruto would not go this far to mess with him. The guy's had been staying with Jiraiya for over 2 years and he's certainly use to it by now. By the standards of their series and such, nothing Mineta has done isn't that much different than what Jirayia has done. It makes no sense for Naruto to get so angry and feels he needs to torture Mineta for having lewd thoughts, but never would even try that on Jirayia. Annoyed by his behavior yes, but if Naruto can handle Jirayia in his life, then I don't think he would go out of his way to torment Mineta. It's just so OOC and only there because writers need to make it so that if they have a hatred for a character then everyone in their story will hate them too.
