Line 25:
**Balalaika, too. The most powerful and badass woman in [[The Mafiya]] is a long-haired [[Lady of War]] who is seen more often than not [[Hot Chick in a Badass Suit|in a business suit with a long skirt]], and her feminine attire doesn't disminish her badassery either. Maybe [[Good Scars, Evil Scars|the scars have something to do with it]]...or maybe the [[Slasher Smile]]...
*''[[Bleach]]'': Orihime Inoue, Momo Hinamori and Rangiku Matsumoto are the biggest victims of this, to unbelievable levels. The paragraphs below describe the reasons why they get bashed, [[Rule of Cautious Editing Judgment|but let's be careful when citing them]]:
**Orihime: Being more of a healer and [[Barrier Warrior]], as well as
**Momo: Momo was a kind [[Yamato Nadeshiko]] who experienced the heavy downfalls of her character type, especially after [[Break the Cutie|being horribly broken by the plot]] and showing ''realistic'' reactions to things like the betrayal of her mentor, Aizen, who even came to get her almost killed twice. The fangirls' reaction? "WHORE! BITCH! SLUT!, COCKSUCKER! WEAK! KILL HER!" Specially [[Double Standard|Double Standard-ish]] when we consider that her old friend Kira, who ''also'' was betrayed (this time by Aizen's [[The Dragon|Dragon]] [[Dragon with an Agenda|Gin]]) is adored and coddled by the same fans that bash Momo.
**Rangiku: She's far more popular than Orihime and Momo due to her [[Action Girl]] skills and her [[Ms. Fanservice]] looks, but she's often demeaned and slutshamed by fans due to having ''[[Gag Boobs|huge]]'' [[Boobs of Steel]], which makes fans refuse to see beyond her "big, nasty titties" and treat her as a total [[Flat Character]] despite the surprisingly complex characterization that she was given. Fans tend to label her as "The Sluttiest Character in Bleach" due to her outgoing, bold personality. And let's not forget how refusing to grieve and hold up a torch for Gin after the reveal of his true motivations has marked Rangiku a "total [[Ungrateful Bastard|Ungrateful Bitch]]" who should be ''punished'' for [[Hypocritical Fandom|not bowing to the cock]] of the guy who ''may'' have wanted to protect her in his own way but still made her suffer.
*Sanae Nakazawa of ''[[Captain Tsubasa]]''. Her pluckiness and cheerful disposition is often ignored or handwaved by "feminist" fangirls/fanboys, who bash her by falsely accusing her of being "weak", "a stalker", "a whore" and "a bad example for girls" because she's less tomboyish as time passes. Blame the [[Values Dissonance]] of the 80's shonen manga, [[Skewed Priorities|not her]]!
*In the ''[[Code Geass]]'' fandom, Shirley gets bashed to the point of being a [[Ron the Death Eater]], which some people claim is just because she's "weak and stupid" for loving Lelouch and not being more badass and stoic about her situations, even when she's ''genuinely scarred'' by something terrible that happens to her! Her girliness may or may not be cited as a reason, but it's a likely part of it.
Line 41:
***Let's not forget that one time when Sora caught the [[Distress Ball]] by panicking ''when she was about to get crushed by debris'', and her boyfriend Yamato had to bail her out while the others ran away. Somehow that's [[Chickification]] too, even when Sora [[Win Back the Crowd|made a comeback]] by [[Lovely Angels|teaming up]] with the also [[White Knighting|"feminist"-maligned]] Miyako in Moscow. ''Noooooo'', having a [[Shorttank]] get scared ''once'' in a ''single scene'' [[Never Live It Down|apparently means she's an horrible weakling for the rest of her life]].
***And then there's how Sora both needed and gave help to others in both series, and a big theme in her [[Character Development]] was how she had horrible self-esteem and thought she didn't deserve love and support, and had to get over it ''with the help of others'' (Taichi, Piyomon, Yamato and Jou). But that doesn't matter, let's just remark how she fails forever and chalk it ALL on mere, pure [[Chickification]]...oh wait. (And how many times has she been added to that trope ''despite'' how it's been discussed more than once that ''it's not that freaking simple''?!)
*In [[Dragon Ball|''DragonBall'']]: Bulma is sometimes deemed as "useless" and "annoying" since she doesn't fight or "just whines about her looks", but fans forgot she's a [[Wrench Wench]] who is significant to the plot as well. Also, Chi-Chi, a [[Housewife]], is seen as useless and overbearing, despite her being the strongest human woman. In ''GT,'' Bulla is hated because of her feminity and preference to shop rather than fight. But she is very assertive and confident despite her girlishness, with great strength when possessed by Baby.
*Lucy from ''[[Fairy Tail]]'' gets this quite a lot. Never mind that she's a strong person who stood up to her [[Jerkass]] of a father, apparently she's no good just because she [[Can't Catch Up]] (how dare she, even though she's been in the guild for nowhere near as long as the others and is slowly but surely improving) and uses [[Summon Magic]] rather than brute strength. [[Sarcasm Mode|Ugh, heresy!]]
**Averted with Erza, who likes to dress up, but is one of the most [[Badass]] characters in the series, and gets little to no flak for it. Then there's [[Beware the Nice Ones|Mirajane]].
