Seriously, I've seen her described as being 'rapeable' and that's supposed to be a COMPLIMENT. How in the name of all that is holy is that a compliment?
I can't speak for Naruto, but I've seen pictures of characters drawn in a certain way, and people say stuff like, "Oooh, s/he looks rapeable!" as if it were a compliment. But it bothers me.
You have Chiyo in your avatar. This makes me happy. And even she gets bashed for being a little old granny. Even though she's a badass little old granny. Who taught Sasori everything he knew. Funny how no-one bashes Danzo or Sarutobi for being old.
And by extension, Sasori gets bashed because apparently being taken down by a little old lady and a girl means he's weak EVEN THOUGH HE TOOK DOWN A WHOLE FUCKING COUNTRY AND TURNED HIMSELF INTO A PUPPET AND CAN CONTROL LIKE HUNDREDS OF PUPPETS. Seriously, if he's weak, I don't want to know what the bashers think is strong. Hell, Sasori himself admitted Sakura was tough. I dislike Sasori (biased Kankuro fan here, oh how I loled when he ended up as Kanky's puppet - it's what he would have wanted!), but calling him weak is totally wrong. Oh, and Chiyo and Sakura didn't really win because Sasori wanted to die / let himself die and could have easily killed them if he so desired, don't you know?
True. Reading the archives of this place, it seems a lot of female characters get bashed to hell and back and reprehensible men in the same manga get ignored. For instance, apparently Anzu from Yugioh gets bashed a lot, and I watched it and couldn't understand why. She seems decent enough. Then there's that girl out of Gundam (Relena?) and Miaka and the girl from Fruits Basket and Asuka (who I actually like, but then I've only seen End OF eVANGELION) and there seem to be a gajillion posts on them. And in the Bleach fandom we have Hinamori and poor old Orihime...oh man. It makes me embarrassed to say I like IchiRuki. Not that I hate IchiHime, mind. Particularly if Rukia ends up with Renji (my fave next to Kenpachi, and boy does he get bashed).

Usually female characters in any fandom can't win.

I love Sakura. I just don't get why everyone hates her so much.
