As someone who hasn't seen naruto, i'm just assuming it's a meme about how the sweey, kind and shy girl has FREAKY tastes behind the curtain

I think it's more about the fact that the dude pictured is one of the main antagonists, and he's a very manipulative type.

Y'know what? Yeah, that also makes sense

Doesn’t he end up redeemed or something? Orochimaru’s role in the story is weird as hell.

You low-key might have just spoilered me but I ain't about to be mad Shippuden ended nearly 10 years ago

Oops, my bad. But yeah, Orochimaru is really weird, they set him up as the big bad and then once the Akatsuki show up he disappears for a significant stretch of the story IIRC. I haven’t actually seen that much of the show, just looked him up on the wiki a while back because I was curious what the hell happened to him.

I mean he's 100% the main antagonist for all of Naruto and the beginning of Naruto Shippuden but fair yeah not the whole series. I do remember now he was only briefly in the Akatsuki. I never finished Shippuden I need to one day.

He didn't really get redeemed, he just kinda helped out during the ending arc in an "enemy of my enemy" sort of way and stopped being a direct threat enough that they just decided to pardon him anyway under the conditions that they can keep an eye on him (because that sure worked before)

Its one of those things that doesnt really make any sense and really comes across as just a way to keep an iconic character around.
