Line 8:

* Sakura Haruno gets it the worst, having the dual misfortune of being a girl that hangs around [[Slash Fic|boys shipped together]] (Naruto/Sasuke) ''and'' standing in the way of the major [[Fan-Preferred Couple]] (Naruto/Hinata). It didn't help that for the first half of Naruto, she was a [[Clingy Jealous Girl]] to Sasuke, which makes fans ''[[Accentuate the Negative|deliberately]]'' ignore her subsequent [[Character Development]] -- ''which started while she was still a [[Clingy Jealous Girl]]''. It doesn't matter to the fanbutts that [[Plucky Girl|Sakura's]] [[Sorry I Fell on Your Fist|will to stop being]] [[The Load]] gave her [[Heroic Resolve|motivation]], or that she came to care for Sasuke as the utterly damaged person he is/was instead of just [[Loving a Shadow|mooning for "Sasuke-kun"]], or that [[Took a Level
* An even more extreme case is [[Dark Chick|Karin]], Sasuke's team mate, who gets bashed from both SasuSaku ''and'' [[Slash Fic|SasuNaru]] fans, although the former are more virulent about it. Fans often make Karin into an [[Village Bicycle|oversexed nympho with constantly opened legs]] (when she's [[Single-Target Sexuality|almost the exact opposite]]) who tries so hard to ''"steal Sasuke from his rightful lover Sakura and/or Naruto"'', especially if the fic's setting is [[High School AU|High School.]] True, Karin's infatuation with Sasuke ''was'' [[Stalker with a Crush|unhealthy and obsessive]] -- she did plan to drug his teammates and rape him. But the shippers' attitude towards her still carries a whiff of this trope, since they ignore that most of her antics are [[Played for Laughs]] and as more of a character flaw than a marker of being "a bad person", that Sasuke ''knew'' about all this when he recruited her for his team, and that beyond this she does ''genuinely'' care for him.
** All of which is ultimately rendered moot by later events in canon, like {{spoiler|Sasuke crossing the [[Moral Event Horizon]] by trying to kill Karin and Karin being saved only by Sakura's intervention - which is followed by Sasuke stabbing her [[In the Back]]}}. There's probably something to be learned from all this.
Line 15:
* [[Fan of Underdog|Hinata Hyuga]] is bashed a lot for liking Naruto or ([[Shipping Goggles|according to some fans]]) [[Kissing Cousins|her cousin Neji]]. There are several fics where Hinata finds out that Naruto has the Kyuubi trapped inside him and proceeds to hate or fear him, only to be slapped into shape by Sakura. (The idea was [[Jossed]] in Ch. 355-356, when she doesn't react when it's mentioned around her). There's also the hate she receives for her characterization as a [[Shrinking Violet]] and a developing [[Yamato Nadeshiko]], with such fans saying that "[[Real Women Never Wear Dresses|she's too weak and shy and doesn't deserve Naruto]]". Naruto/Hinata and Naruto/Sakura pairing wars get ugly; it's always assumed that Naruto/Hinata fans bash Sakura (a majority of them don't), and Naruto/Sakura fans bash Hinata (again, a majority of them don't).
** Has become ''specially'' ugly lately, since {{spoiler|Naruto has saved Hinata's life in the middle of the Shinobi War and has aknowledged her as a strong person.}} The Sasuke/Naruto shippers on several places (specially [[Tumblr]]) have gone '''berserk''' at that, pouring tons o shit on poor Hinata and the Naru/Hina shippers.
* Naru/Saku shippers prefer to attack [[OC Stand
** Everybody attacks Sakura's mother.
*** [[For the Lulz|That bitch.]]
