* Lizzie Devine, Numbuh One's girlfriend during most of ''[[Codename Kids Next Door]],'' is often bashed. Numbuh Two is also often bashed for getting in the way of 1/5 even though he's not even ''in'' a relationship with Numbuh Five. (The latter case ''is'' no longer as common as it used to be.)

** It is hinted in The [[Grand Finale]] that {{spoiler|Numbuh Two may have married Numbuh Five when they grew up (despite his canon crush on 5's sister Cree).}} So, Two ''is'' as valid a target as anyone... Also, in the series, {{spoiler|Lizzie breaks up with Nigel willingly.}}

* Terra, from ''[[Teen Titans (Animation)|Teen Titans]]'', was absolutely ''loathed'' by Beast Boy/Raven shippers after she appeared in season two. After her [[The Mole|revelation as Slade's apprentice]], the hate magnified even more; many fics were written featuring Terra as a maniacal sociopath... which, ironically, fits the '''original''' [[Teen Titans (Comic Book)|comic version]] of her. The show's version is quite [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds|different.]]

** It should be noted that after a decade, however, the whole [[Ship-to-Ship Combat]] in the fandom has died down a lot; the old fans have gotten over it and many of the newer ones went into the series knowing what was going to happen. These days, Tom-bashing is more a tongue-in-cheek joke than anything, and Daria/Trent, while still popular, is often seen as kind of cliché.

* In a rare pro-fem example, Sprx from ''[[Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go]]!'' has been through this. Though often it's just [[Ron the Death Eater]] here.

* Josh Mankey from ''[[Kim Possible]]'' is usually vilified for standing in the way of Kim/Ron. He is usually depicted as womanizing, manipulative, or abusive. This, even though he was shown as caring and understanding the few times he dated Kim. (Kim and Ron had shown no romantic interest in each other until the third season.)

** Kim suffers from this in [[Portmanteau Couple Name|Rongo]] stories that pair him with Shego. Often, Kim is transformed into a demanding, jealous bitch who treats Ron like dirt. One wallbanging fic had her [[Emo Teen|slash her wrists]] after the pair were married.

* ''[[Danny Phantom]]'' had Samantha "Sam" Manson (the one Danny ended up with) as this early in the fandom; she was hated, despised, and bashed in fanfiction written by Danny fangirls who paired Danny with the writer's [[Original Character]]. To this day, the worst of those stories are still archived in Quizilla. However, the hate for Sam toned down when [[Well-Intentioned Extremist|Valerie]] [[Fallen Princess|Gray]] went through, not only [[Character Development]], but also a [[Gondor Calls for Aid]] episode in which she and Danny become friends, and eventually ended up in a [[Dating Catwoman]] situation. Since then, Valerie has been despised by a large part of the fandom (even though they broke up because [[It's Not You, It's My Enemies|Valerie didn't want to put Danny in danger]]), since the two still maintained romantic feelings for each other. Although by the end of the series {{spoiler|it's hinted prior to his [[Last-Minute Hookup]] with Sam that Danny got over Valerie,}} the hate is still going strong. It's not surprising to find a fanfic in which Sam is depressed over Danny and Valerie's relationship, and it turns out that Danny is only dating Valerie because he thinks Sam will never love him and never loved Valerie in the first place.

** Danny/Valerie shippers frequently claim Sam is some kind of manipulative shrew who thinks of Danny as a tool for her own agendas. It got even worse after [[Victorious Childhood Friend|the finale.]]

* ''[[The Fairly Odd Parents]]'': Timmy/Trixie shippers end up bashing Tootie, and Timmy/Tootie shippers bash Trixie. It is mostly Trixie and Tootie fans who do the bashing... In one fanfic, known as "Trixie's True Self 2", Tootie even went to the evil side -- something she would never do on the show -- after Timmy started dating a new tomboy-fied Trixie. It is even said to happen [[Armed With Canon|with the writers]].

** It's a bit of a two-way street, as the small faction of Terry/Dana shippers don't look too kindly on Max, either, for the most part. (Although they're usually more mature about it, or at least can't afford to alienate the majority audience.)

** Canonically, of course, the two get along fine: Dana is much more annoyed by Terry constantly missing dates than his friendship with Max.

* ''[[Gargoyles (Animation)|Gargoyles]]'' fans have never entirely forgiven [[Action Girl|Angela]] for picking [[Big Guy|Broadway]] over [[Ensemble Darkhorse|Brooklyn]]. Some of them even derail Broadway from a [[Gentle Giant]] into a wife-beater in their fics so that Angela can go running into the arms of Brooklyn.

** There's an in-show example too, as Demona ships herself with Goliath even in the 1990s. Thus, she particularly hates Elisa more than she hates the rest of humanity.

* In ''[[X-Men Evolution]]'', the hate against the [[Tsundere]] Jean Grey was a given because her "love rival" for Scott's affection was the very popular and [[Wangst|wangsty]] [[Goth]] Rogue. Amazingly, Gambit is never usually bashed, and his fans don't tend to bash Scott either, both proffering to pretend the other doesn't exist. Lance, ''aka'' Avalanche, who thanks to [[Characterization Marches On]] became a [[Troubled but Cute]] [[Jerk With a Heart of Gold]] with [[Even Evil Has Standards|strong lines he will not cross, and effectively the most moral of the Brotherhood, and even helped save the entire city of Bayville]] is usually bashed by the more rabid fans of [[Platonic Life Partners|Kitty and Kurt]]. If he is lucky, he will get paired off with Tabitha, Wanda, Pietro, or a new character. But sometimes he is made a rapist and girlfriend beater in their fanwork to favor Kurt. Kurt's girlfriend [[Fan of Underdog|Amanda Sefton]] can also be portrayed as an [[Alpha Bitch]] who is mean to Kitty and treats Kurt like garbage.

** Some Lance/Kitty fans are getting just as rabid as Kurtty fans. Yeah, overall they're not as bad, but some are ''really'' [[He Who Fights Monsters|getting vicious towards Kurtty fans, and even Kurt in general.]] Usually they tend to just stick him with Amanda or even Wanda, but now, well, he's just as likely to get bashed. Although some do it to defend Lancitty from attack, some do take it too far, and accuse anyone who doesn't ship Lancitty, no matter the reason, of just being narrow-minded Kurtty fans. All this fighting over little [[Launcher of a Thousand Ships|Kitty]]! Someone needs to drop her and write the much hotter Lance/Kurt.

* ''[[Ben 10 (Animation)|Ben 10]]'': shippers of the [[Kissing Cousins|Ben/Gwen]] pairing have, more than once, bashed [[Psycho for Hire|Kevin]] for getting together with Gwen in ''[[Ben 10 Alien Force (Animation)|Ben 10 Alien Force]]''.
* ''[[Ben 10]]'': shippers of the [[Kissing Cousins|Ben/Gwen]] pairing have, more than once, bashed [[Psycho for Hire|Kevin]] for getting together with Gwen in ''[[Ben 10: Alien Force|Ben 10 Alien Force]]''.

** Kevin/Gwen fans now perceive Charmcaster as getting in the way of their ship due to her seducing Kevin in her Alien Force debut episode. Michael Morningstar/Darkstar gets a similar reaction due to his constant flirtations toward "lovely Gwen". Sometimes there is no [[Die for Our Ship]], though, and Charmcaster and Darkstar wind up [[Pair the Spares|paired with each other instead.]]

* ''[[The Spectacular Spider Man]]'': When Liz Allen came onto the scene, many viewers hated her for getting in the way of Peter/Gwen... but then this trope ended up becoming ''subverted'' when these viewers' hatred gave way to pity as it became clear that Peter loved Gwen and Liz was just a [[Hopeless Suitor]]. It helped that her inevitable breakup with Peter was a [[Tear Jerker]].

** A reversed situation happened with Harry/Gwen. When Gwen starts dating Harry, it's clear that she's doing so just because she feels sorry for [[The Woobie|him.]] Shippers agreed with her decision [[Break the Cutie|(Harry went through some Grade-A Shit last season)]] and they waited patiently for them to break-up so we could get to the Peter/Gwen. Just when the build-up to the fabled ship arrived, Harry found out Gwen's true feelings and became jealous. Then another woobie moment happens, and Harry decides to [[Kick the Dog]] by manipulating Gwen into staying with him to "ease the pain," though it's evident he's just jealous of Peter. Shippers promptly went to war.

* Many shippers of the Jake/Rose relationship in ''[[American Dragon Jake Long]]'' became irate when Jake flirted with a certain pink-hat wearing girl because she was a girl who Jake was attracted to and [[One True Pairing|who was not Rose]]. She was even speculated be the "Siren" of a later episode and working for the [[Big Bad|Dark Dragon]]. As the show played out, however, the girl proved to be nothing more than an extra with a few lines.

* Phoebus, from the Disney version of ''[[The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney)|The Hunchback of Notre Dame]],'' gets this a lot from people who prefer Esmeralda to be with either [[The Grotesque|Quasimodo]] or [[Love Makes You Evil|Frollo]]. Instead of being the wry, sensible man he is, Phoebus is portrayed as an abusive [[Jerkass]] (completely accurate in the novel, where Phoebus is the only main character without a single redeeming quality, but not in the [[Disney]] film). Quasi/Esme shippers especially seem to think that having Esme end up with Phoebus is [[Broken Aesop|a betrayal]] of the film's "Looks don't matter" message.

* Suzy Johnson of ''[[Phineas and Ferb]]'' is an odd example of this because she is Jeremy's little sister. However, she's violently opposed to him dating Candace and tortures her at every opportunity, making her highly unpopular with C/J shippers.

** Johnny occasionally got this from some [[Precocious Crush|Ferb/Vanessa]] shippers, though it largely subsided when it seemed he would just be a [[Girl of the Week|Boy of the Week]]. More than a season later he's back as Vanessa's [[Official Couple|official boyfriend]] ([[Hooked Up Afterwards|in series]] of the Latin American version at least), and it's started up again.

* Trent of ''[[Total Drama Island (Animation)|Total Drama Island]]'' '''used''' to be bashed by people who would rather see Gwen and Cody together, often portrayed as a [[Jerkass|shallow, abusive jerk]]. The hate has more or less ended now that they broke up on the show (ironically for the opposite reason - he was ''too'' clingy and needy).

** Sierra gets crucified for her massive crush on Cody (Though there are [[Stalker With a Crush|other]] [[The Scrappy|reasons]] to dislike their relationship even if you don't ship him with someone else). In fact, it already happened when Beth kissed Cody on the cheek as he was voted off (few people like Beth/Cody). He's one popular dude: he's been [[Launcher of a Thousand Ships|shipped with just about every girl]] at least once, [[Ho Yay|though not nearly as often as with]] [[Ambiguously Gay|Noah]].

It ''really'' doesn't help that he once had a [[What the Hell, Hero?]] moment when he pushed her in front of a serial killer to save his own life.

Or the writers save themselves the trouble and kill them off, or pair them with each other. All of which is really unnecessary, since both Sissi and William are canonically [[Hopeless Suitor|Hopeless Suitors]] (Sissi from the beginning and William once {{spoiler|he becomes [[Brainwashed and Crazy]].}}) Ulrich/Yumi is in much more danger from [[Unresolved Sexual Tension|Ulrich and Yumi themselves]] than outside forces.

And don't think about shipping Kodi/Dusty ''and'' Kirby/Ralph; it's a ticket to the afterlife. That said, many people also kill [[The Scrappy|Stella]] (the female goose from the second sequel, which is also from where all the characters mentioned in this paragraph come from), and whereas they pair Boris with someone else or not is irrelevant.

Which is odd, because Lila did nothing but gently and repeatedly ''turn Arnold down'', and even ''helped'' Helga kiss him after getting her to admit her crush. Granted, it ''has'' been said by [[Word of God]] that Lila is really [[Playing Hard to Get|subconsciously stringing Arnold along]] due to a repressed sexual side, but that still doesn't make her [[Ron the Death Eater|the Evil Bitch from Hell!]]

** Ruth and Summer also don't get spared from this, despite the fact that Ruth was insignificant to Arnold after season 2 and Summer was just a one-shot character who was just using Arnold to begin with and already had a boyfriend.

* Bo Peep from the ''[[Toy Story]]'' franchise is constantly bashed on, sometimes for getting in the way of the [[Relationship Writing Fumble|Woody/Jessie]] pairing. In ''Toy Story 3'', Bo is mentioned to have been [[Put On a Bus|sold to someone else at a yard sale]], leaving her out for good... But it's in the same movie that the [[Opposites Attract|Buzz/Jessie]] couple becomes more apparent.

** Jessie can get this a bit from Woody/Buzz shippers, and is often called a female version of Woody who was just paired with Buzz because it was more socially accepted.

** The Woody/Dolly pairing has also become quite popular with some fanfic authors. There are at least a couple of AU human fics that have turned Bo into an [[Alpha Bitch]] so that Woody could break up with her and pair with Dolly, his artistic childhood friend.

* In ''[[The Real Ghostbusters]]'' Janine Melnitz often becomes the target because of her [[Ship Tease|love interest Egon Spengler.]] Usually vilified as either an over controlling harpy or a heartless slut. If the pairing is OC/Egon than this can get especially bad. Doesn't help that Ramis isn't too fond of Janine/Egon either in the original movies.

* Leela from ''[[Futurama]]'' often gets shafted in Fry/Bender fics as a cruel, snobbish, manipulative, ungrateful bitch. Stories like this often culminate in Bender protecting Fry from Leela, leading Fry to realize that Bender is his true love, and [[Love Martyr|his (Fry's) longing for Leela is unhealthy]] because she, unlike Bender, doesn't give a damn about how much Fry loves her and/or is extremely abusive towards him. This despite the fact that Bender is canonically ''far, far'' more physically and emotionally abusive towards Fry than Leela is, not to mention ''canonically'' [[Living Emotional Crutch|manipulative and needy]] [[Yandere|and near-psychotically possessive]]. Since [[Dysfunction Junction|everyone in Futurama is royally screwed up]], having Leela being mildly abusive (but far less abusive than Bender) towards Fry would be acceptably in-character — it's only when Leela manages to top Bender in abusiveness that signals that this trope has come into play.

It then moved to Fanfiction, up until yet another user put their foot down. The [[Vocal Minority]] were basically terrorists, [[Fan Dumb|claiming]] that the show has evidence (which was parodied in another Youtube video, which has just as much "evidence" as [[One True Pairing|Martin/Aviva]]). And poor Chris. Poor, poor Chris, who did nothing wrong, was [[Dropped a Bridge On Him|victimized]], all for being Martin's brother. The only way to stop it is to fight fire with fire. It's beginning to look like the [[Vocal Minority]] are indeed [[Sock Puppet|sock puppets]] of the same person...

* Even the [[No Hugging, No Kissing|romance free]] [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|Ponies]] aren't safe from this. Miss Cheerilee used to be a well liked background pony. Then the synopsis for the episode "Happy Hearts and Hooves Day" said she would be going on a date with Big Macintosh. Since Big Macintosh was a [[Launcher of a Thousand Ships]], the fallout from FlutterMac, TwiMac, and [[Ho Yay|CarMac]] etc shippers was ''vicious'', even in spite of the fact that (a) it was an episode about the Cutie Mark Crusaders setting up the pair, and everything they do is usually an adorable failure, (b) ultimately, the episode ended on a ''very'' ambiguous [[Maybe Ever After]], and (3) any other hints of a continued relationship between Cheerilee and Big Mac were never mentioned or spoken of again. But try telling that to those wishing death on Cheerilee and calling her among other things, a scarlet woman (because according to the fandom, she is older than Big Macintosh).
