It was not Crunchyroll's fault in the slightest. They simply didn't account for the large percentage of vocal, grown-up, Twitter-using Naruto fans who'd invested themselves in Boruto and caught wind of it. But as far as memes go, this was a fairly innocent one and did not have any malicious intent to it. Crunchyroll even tweeted an image of Naruto with the caption "Boruto's Dad: Shippuden" after the flood gates were opened.

Plus, if a honest mistake can spawn gems such as this, I'm not even gonna complain about it.
