The forehead poke is NOT positive and has never been.
It has always been used to create distance and followed by false promises.
Itachi himself acknowledged it.
When Itachi died for good, after Sasuke knew the truth, he did NOT poke his forehead. There was a lot of emphasis placed on this. Kishimoto made it look like Itachi was going to poke him but then he pushed their heads together, instead. The way he decided to drag out the process made you pay attention to Itachi’s movements and notice this difference. He made it a obvious as possible that the forehead poke was NOT something good and the goal should be to move beyond that point.
That being said…
Sasuke creates distance between himself and his “family”. He cannot keep his promises to them. They see it as positive because they don’t understand what it represents. There’s no reason that Sasuke would have taken that and completely changed the meaning, it’s used for the same reason. It’s not malicious but it shouldn’t be romanticized. Calling this is “ultimate expression of love” is just plain idiotic.
For some reason people seem to believe that because Sakura blushes it makes it a positive gesture, here are your reasons why it isn’t.
YES YES YES PREACH
I love this post.
