2) seeing living proof of it by thoroughly witnessing the transformation of a boy scout Naruto-clone (UCHIHA Obito) from a Goody-Goody-Help-the-Elderly boy to a genocidal evil maniac, one would expect the fandom to be more rational about Tobirama.

On hindsight, Tobirama could have done a better job about the Uchiha situation. But that is just that, a HINDSIGHT. Lest we forget, it was Madara and Obito who triggered the eventual genocide, what with them using Kurama to attack Konoha and all that. I simply can't understand how casually people blame good ol' Tobirama all the time, while completely ignoring Madara's and Obito's actions that were the actual triggers that led to the massacre. Madara's final battle against Hashi provided a historical backdrop for being suspicious of the Uchihas, while Obito's attack vindicated Konoha's ancient fears. Heck, Obito happily participated in slaughtering his own clansmen, just so that he could get more sharingans for Izanagi.

So Obito is the ultimate proof of Tobirama's "Emotionally Unstable Uchiha" theory. Why are we putting the blame squarely on Tobirama, who tried his level best to channel the Uchiha's power into something constructive? It seems that the fandom likes to ignore the Uchiha's atrocities just because they have cool and awesome eyes. The Uchihas are actually the biggest dicks in the Narutoverse. 1) that's fear and paranoia. As stern and brutal as tobirama is, we all know he fears the sharingan. 2) stereotyping and coincidental,  anyone, not just an uchiha, could have reacted to Rin's death in the same way, especially since the trauma was reinforced. Tobirama himself admitted that not all uchiha are emotional wrecks that would hsrm the village, so he admitted his own hatred of the uchiha was his own paranoia. I don't buy the hindsight argument because it was clear Tobirama knew what he was doing from the beginning, and madara caught him red handed. Madara agreed to the truce and decided to put Izuna's desth behind him for the sake of the village. He was really trying to become a new person. Tobirama denied him that chance and he purposely made way to make sure madara did not become hokage. It was only then that madara went back to his old self again. Tobirama started the douche baggery, and you think after reading the stone tablet,  madara wouldn't be convinced that true peace wasnt possible after tobirama's actions. Madara's action s after that were wrong yes, but tobirama has some blame to take. Tobirama also nurtured Danzo with the seeds that the uchiha were a problem. So the nine tails attack on konoha proved it, as the uchiha were the first to be suspected and mistreated. The real truth is that Tobirama feared how strong uchiha could become when they become emotional just like any other human.
