According to Common Sense Media, the diversity section of Naruto was flagged for concern because
• Women can fight and hold positions of power but are stereotypical
• Sexist behaviour is played for jokes, like Naruto's teammate making sexist quips or a mentor being a peeping Tom.
• Fatphobic characterization of Choji, he has been repeatedly called "fatso."
• Disability clichés include a main villain with paralyzed arms who's obsessed with finding a cure and a minor character with frail health who wants to die rather than live with disease.
• Across hundreds of episodes, no LGBTQ+ storylines.
• The subtext is transphobic.
