I'm biased to understanding people. Despite being a story, people react differently to things in our own world. You cannot change that and how someone reacts does not change their value. Sasuke, after having his entire "family" massacred, went down a path he thought was right. And all-in-all, in the end, all he was doing was brooding in a lair, so to speak. Yes, technically A lost his forearm, and other things occurred. But don't forget or downplay what Itachi has done to try and help Sasuke, or the fact Naruto never gave up trying to help him, and still considered him a friend.

With this current war and things that are going on, and the general premise that is Naruto and Sasuke trying to stop the Indra V Ashura feud, we should lay down our formal notions and hope that Sasuke, a teen who was depressed and didn't have anyone to help him, is trying to change. I've simply never understood the "Sasugay" mentality people online have for him. I encourage understanding. I even understand Madara, and don't view him as a bad character, simply an ends-justify-the-means guy going the wrong way like Sasuke did.
