With the exception of scenes made for gag relief, many of times Naruto burst out in anger and started yelling isn't considered whining, because he actually makes an argument that isn't inconsequential to the matter at hand, while Boruto mostly just yells trivial things because he is mad. When Naruto yells, people actually listened and retorted. It was like an ongoing debate. Naruto is seen actually making an effort to understand his opponent's way of thinking. Boruto does not.

Both yelled yes, but Naruto had substance in his many of his arguments. He voiced genuine complaints and his arguments with many villains and friends and can be analyzed and thought about. Because much of it was about idealism, many times it makes you think, who is wrong or who is right? Is Naruto just naive? But is his dream really so bad compared to others who are more realistic and have given up? It made you think, even if his dream of being Hokage at the time was and is unrealistic, did they have any right to think it wasn't of value? As Naruto was striving to be something, to be somebody, meanwhile others crapping on it have already resigned themselves and given up?

The bottom line is that many of the times Boruto whines it's clear he's trying to make a genuine complaint, but the way he pans out his argument is so inconsequential it makes it seem that he is just whining because he is annoyed.

In terms of substance, Boruto's outbursts are more like Shinji's from FS/N and Naruto's was more like Shirou's, the former made to be the annoying idiot who is actually dumb, and the latter made to be your typical Shonen protagonist who can be interpreted as "dumb", but really isn't.

I also realize he's moving away from that aspect, I'm just saying they need to stop making him have such outbursts, because while it's getting rather infrequent, it is still frequent enough for me to get annoyed by it.

Right now I'm not analyzing Boruto's character traits as a whole and comparing them to that of his peers, but rather this one aspect of his because it's bringing the rest of his character down because I believe it is dominant enough to overshadow the rest of his better traits.

I don't hate him as a whole though. Just that part of him. And yes, I also believe Sarada is being way too edgy lately.
