Everyone knows I hate Uchiha with a passion. Angst-powered super abilities with no rhyme or reason, each more arbitrary and overpowered than the one before it... and moreover that canon completely disregards perfectly sound tactics for completely disabling dojutsu. Any ninja who relied almost exclusively on his dojutsu to survive (as many in the series are depicted doing) would be dead within a year.

When you get down to it, the sharingan is a lazy crutch. It is the fast-track to power- the McNinja of ninja abilities. Prepackaged, generic and utterly unoriginal. But in reality it's just a fake power. With no genuine conception of the limits or scope of its abilities, people wield it with the abandon and comprehension of a child. And when they face someone who has actually put in the time and effort to think about their abilities- to gradually develop them and strengthen them through trial and error- the uchiha loses. He loses without grace, literally being stomped into the dirt.

I completely supported the sharingan ban way back- and for good reason. There was a neglect on the part of users here to make non-uchiha non-dojutsu spamming characters. With a lack of clear good examples of non-dojutsu non-KG ninja, new users just end up emulating canon, or worse, characters that show up in the google search results for this fanon. The ban did do its job somewhat. Many users made powerful non-uchiha characters. And this in turn perpetuated other non-Uchiha, even after the ban was lifted.

It's the responsibility of users to create varied and original characters. Not just Uchiha Madara clones or self-insert godlings... If you want to see more creativity and variety on the fanon, just say no every time you get the impulse to create some new genocidal uchiha crybaby. Don't roleplay with them, don't even acknowledge them. Give your focus and efforts towards other avenues of development, rather than the McNinja.
