If only part 2 didn't poop on SS as much. Much better pairing in part one.
ikr. It wasn't that good back in p1 but at least it was something. P2 took a huge shit on it and turned into a mess. It's sad and funny seeing people deny that Sasuke was about to kill her.
OP: I disagree. Sakura was the one who went and pursued Sasuke. Sasuke made it clear to back off and this is the shinobi world. It ain't Sasuke's fault Sakura wasn't prepared to see him that way. You should be blaming Sakura because she kept looking for him. Honestly, I would have preferred if she let go of him.

I have to agree with this.

Why is it people bash Sakura for not potraying a good image for females due to her relationship with Sasuke, but people act like Sasuke wasn't the one who attempted to kill her twice and murder Karin.

So Sakura gets bashed for being abused but Sasuke gets away with doing it?
Sakura's obsession with Sasuke was similar throughout the entire manga whereas Sasuke only went overboard with Karin once at the peak of his rage. I don't remember Sasuke trying to kill Sakura twice but it was Sakura that tried to kill him first.

Regardless, Sasuke is the second most hated character in the manga (not by me).

I am pretty sure Sasuke made it pretty clear he did not wanna be with her in this series. While Sakura kept chasing after him after all he did. If anything you should be mad at Sakura for not having respect for herself.
I hope you then apply that same logic to Naruto, and lose all respect for him as well, because that's exactly what the entire series is about.

You're not following. The point is that in the eyes of people you are talking about, Sasuke is a solid, well written character all in all, whereas Sakura is not. That's the direct answer to your question in the OP, as in 'why is Sakura getting bashed for something if Sasuke doesn't'. You're trying to use character traits and qualities as the determining factor, whereas it's clearly not the case. People don't really bash Sakura for being 'this' and 'that', they bash her for being an overall poorly written and illogical character.

For instance, I don't need some character to be a Jesus, a Superman or another ideal good guy for me to like him/her. If the character is well written, logical and has the necessary depth, I couldn't care less about his deeds.
No, Sasuke is shit too. Everyone in this series are the result of shit tier writing spanned over a decade...

Sasuke is just "cooler".

The thought the reason Sakura got hate not due to her representation as a female but just for being an unlikable noncharacter. Also her romance with sasuke was so forced while naruto was a good guy to her, but always mistreated him.

Quite honestly it doesn't even matter.
They're now married and the past is behind them.

Sakura chased him regardless of him shunning her and Sasuke married Sakura regardless of... well he married Sakura.

and from that they produced a child in which they both now care about.

Hopefully now that Sakura has reached her goal and Sasuke showed apparent love to Sakura at least once in his life, a conclusion has been made for them and thus the past became truly insignificant.

Is it a honest ending? Does it make sense and follow a morale understanding? No but it is what it is and Kishi, regardless on why he did it, be it from internal and/or external forces, he did indeed do it and we must accept it.

Sasusaku is garbage and Sakura should have gotten over being romantically involved with Sasuke. Her obsession with Sasuke was nuts and made her look bad. Sasuke at least throughout the 99% of the series hardly even cared for Sakura as a friend most of the time much less a lover. Yeah I could be mad at him when he finally got with her at the end but that was so forced and used for the convenience of both Naruto and Sasuke having a kid on the same team that I can not really take it seriously.

There was a significant difference as to why Sakura wanted to bring back Sasuke, and why Naruto wanted to bring back Sasuke. For Sakura, it was more about her chasing her childhood fantasy of getting Sasuke to love her. For Naruto, it was bringing his best friend back from the darkness that he was trapped in.

They had very different reasons.

Is it because of the episodes and Tumblr trending Sakura these days? What are the odds that the OP goes to Tumblr too and indulges in writing romantic SS fanfictions? What are the odds here?

You don't marry then conceive a child with the ''enemy'', you don't see Naruto giving Madara a nice bj.
He had *** with her ONCE in over 11 years. Once, sweetheart. It could very well have been a drunken one night stand or Sakura pleading to ride him dry. Kishimoto has made it pretty damn clear that he doesn't give two hoots about her. But, being an obnoxious Sakura and SS fan (Hinata and NH fans aren't any less despicable), you wouldn't understand.

As I stated in another thread:

Terribly written character. Sasuke never desired her. She never even tried to understand him or his plight or past. He was simply an object she wanted to desperately possess. She asked Naruto to bring Sasuke to him, removing herself from the equation. She had no hand in bringing him back to the village. It was all Itachi and then Naruto. She was a pointless weeper from the start. Honestly, all she did for lust for the guy. Her feelings have never been genuine. It was made more explicit when she chose to kill him in some one-sided, would-be lovers suicide. It was appaling as she didn't even care about Naruto's feelings then; the guy who aided her countless times and cared for Sasuke deeply.

She just annoys me because Sasuke didn't deserve to be paired off with the likes of her. This whole abuse garbage is ludicrous, as Sasuke never abused her. Telling someone to back off and doing so bluntly isn't abuse. If he went in for the kill, then she was always the instigator. She had it coming. Not only that, they are ninjas. That's what they are trained to do. Her sympathizers should get over themselves

You're retarded if you think killing ppl that had nothing to do with his situation is justified, I bet you're ok with that one guy killing all those police officers in california as well huh? Once again, Sasuke is nothing but a psychopath who throws his anger at victims who have nothing to do with nor even know the truth about his situation.
No, it is justified, given that many innocent children in the clan were killed, along with the elderly and other people who had nothing to do with the coup. The philosophy is simple; massacre of unsuspecting innocents equates the massacre of unsuspecting innocents.

Your views on Sasuke's complex character are very shortsighted; typical of an average anime geek. I am not really surprised. I mean, it you.

Just passing through, mate. How have you been?

Eh, Typical Sakura and Anti-Sasuke posters. He just got out of the summit where a kill on sight order was issued by Konoha Hokage. She hesitated and he knew why she came. He attacked before she could accomplish her goal. He's a ninja. That's being smart.

Woman beater? So, any ninja who beats a female ninja in the manga is a woman beater? That would be Kabuto, Orochimaru, Itachi (he killed several females as well), Sasori (he beat the crap out of his grandmother and her), Pein (for killing several women) etc etc.

She should have stayed in the kitchen then if she didn't want to get hurt on the battlefield. Is this a master troll comment? Don't bother with such posters.
