Why is it really that Sakura is such a disliked character?

I am biased? Sure, if it fits, call me biased. If I'd be biased, wouldn't have showed her flaws in the first place. I wouldn't have said she is selfish, what she really was at that time, in the first place.
I'd made her an angel and scream "OMG SAKURA IS PERFECT!! SHE HAS NO FLAWS SHE"S SOOO PERFECT!" like I've met people from some other camps, yet, I didn't. I was sure to point her flaw first.
But if it's fitting to you to call me biased, sure, go ahead.
The fact that I can have another view than the majority who, in my opinion, read this manga superficially, doesn't make me biased.
Sakura is not the only character that's hated whom behaviors I can explain.
The fact that I am seeing some things, some messages that are to be conveyed by the author, don't think that makes me biased towards her. Not to mention that was only a part of the overall explanation.

Sakura was a selfish, bratty, know-it-all, self-centered individual, I can give you that, hell, like you saw, I've called her myself that way, but that's from where she learns, that's how her character development takes place.

And we'll have to agree to disagree on the superficiality of her acts. If indeed she would've been superficial, she wouldn't have though if Naruto felt the same way she did.

Sure, people in real life are selfish, but also, people in real life learn from their mistakes and change that. But if you met only people of that type of nature, fine by me, but don't accuse everyone just because of someone.

If for you is nothing to like, fine, once again, it doesn't mean that for others should be the same way.

Im telling you the truth, youre againg being immature by thinking im being critical, im just not praising. And its my opinion as i said and others have theirs so i dont see what all this arguing will achieve. What you fail to realize is that what were discussing here is a depiction, not an actual person. Dont you find it ridiculous that someone skilled enough to beat an s rank ninja is so weak so as to not be able to get over the looks of one individual? Even when this person tries to kill her? Is that an accurate representation of the will of an alleged heroine? If you say yes youve never had the experience of seeing a strong willed woman before, im afraid.
While every character has their flaws, there are far too many in this one and a lot of it is absurd. I understand perfectly the message the author is trying to portray, what you dont understand is that this author can make mistakes.
As for understanding how naruto feels, again it was forced on her by sasukes rejection. Do you need to become broke in order to sympathise with the poor?(for lack of a better analogy)

Why didn't Sakura give naruto that speech in chapter 615?

She should be his voice of reason for Naruto, since she is his teammate since they were kids, she should be the one who knows him best. If Sakura isn't able to be of use fighting the Juubi, or other S rank ninjas, then at least be able to give Naruto strength in another way. She wasn't even useful trying to save Neji. I thought she was Tsunade's Protegee. If she had a moment where she could have been a main character again, she should have gone right beside Naruto and try to heal Neji and give this speech herself. This makes me think two things… Kishimoto wanted Naruto and Hinata to be alone while they had this talk, or, he just gave up on Sakura. I'm being 100% serious, Sakura's character development is embarrassing… she is just there, standing, doing nothing, not saying anything worth remembering. And she is the main female character. Didn't you people say Sakura knows naruto better than anyone else? LOL. This is what I'm talking about, Kishi is making people dislike sakura and I'm beginning to wonder if it's on purpose. Kishimoto CHOSE to not use Sakura in that moment. You do NOT forget your main characters.

I want to be clear on this, by no way I'm trying to put Sakura down. I don't feel this is all Sakura's fault, since she is a character that could have been used in ten different ways during this war. But, Kishimoto just placed her behind and forgot about her. Sakura can be a cool girl, and also just a little nice but she comes off way TOO annoying. People complain about having strong female characters, but sakura is not an example of one. She cried during pain's invasion and waited for a higher power to come rescue her and the village. Kishi COULD have made sakura shine by at least taking down one of Pain' bodies, but he said no.

This is all from a "writer's" point of view, in a narrative context. Not trying to include a personal opinion, but from an author's standpoint.

you guys are righting freaking novels and stupid people like me cant read that well, so i inquire of you to write less my fellow patrons of NB.

Take it easy, I wasn't referring at you. I said the majority. Now if you feel in the majority, fine, but don't blame it on me.

Im telling you the truth, youre againg being immature by thinking im being critical, im just not praising. And its my opinion as i said and others have theirs so i dont see what all this arguing will achieve. What you fail to realize is that what were discussing here is a depiction, not an actual person.

So what you say is to be taken as the absolute truth, yet, what I say is what...a lie? How am I being immature, again? For having a different opinion? And did I call you critical? As far as I typed in my previous post, I haven't. I didn't asked for anyone's praising because I don't need anyone's praise. It's my opinion, as simple as that. If someone happens to agree, fine, if not, fine again. But the fact that I can show a different interpretations doesn't mean I am wanting some kind of praise. Of course I thank people if someone says that they consider that what I've written they think it's bringing a point. It's called being respectful. That's what mom thaught me to do. Thank people for a compliment, an opinion, being it agreement or not, etc.
You might say "but you come and say no, you're wrong" to people that don't agree with you.
When the fact is simple, clear and people dismiss it, I, truly come and tell them they're wrong, but when it's about interpretation, I purely offer a different one. How does that make me immature?
All this arguing is a debating. As I've seen, NB doesn't care about this, about different perspectives of the story, different interpretations and stuff like that like other sides. However, what I argued with you about wasn't about Sakura, was about you, 'attacking' my interpretation of her acts. What is that makes other interpretations better than mine? What gives others the right to be more right than I am? If they have the right to express their oppinion that it's X, so I have mine to say it's Y. What makes their opinion above my opinion? The fact that it's the Base's majority? Oh, sorry then, but I don't bow, if that's what people want. As they have the right to say a thing, I have the right to say another. Fairly simple, I think.

See, that's your interpretation that she is weak-willed. As far as I remember, Kishi potrayed her as an strong-willed individual, as proofs stand throughout the manga. Sure, people call her weak mainly because Sasuke. But let's not forget something. Naruto is on the same boat. However, there's a difference between Naruto and Sakura expressing feelings. While Naruto had pshichologically build walls in order to not show his weakness, Sakura lets it all out and fights with it as best as she can. See, you're calling her a realistic character, yet, you dismiss the realism in her character. But sure, let's just judge only Sakura because of Sasuke, let's let Naruto out of it. While to most people looks like Naruto has no emotional weakness, he has, but the difference with him is that he hides it very, very good. And we've seen this every since part 1. He never let his actual feelings run free. But anyway, the topic here is not Naruto.
I think we're discussing here a depiction based on an actual real, person. Hence Kishi saying she is one of the most human characters in his manga.
To you it's absurd, to me, it's normal. Different views. I know Kishi does mistakes, you seem to have missed my posts where, I, personally, critiqued his writing and everyone calling me a names just because I didn't say "WOW, this is so cool" while they were screaming it's cool.
Those instances were many, however, you seem to have missed them. Not your fault, though, it's not like we meet on every thread.
Yes, it was forced by Naruto's rejection but that doesn't mean it was superficial. It was because she felt on her own skin what Naruto felt. Take out Sasuke from the equation, put any other person instead of Sasuke that calls her annoying, the same way she called Naruto annoying and I guarantee you that you'll get the same result.
Well, it seemed that for her it needed to, at that time. It's similar with Yahiko's resolution. In order to understand each other, we must feel the same pain.
Same happened here. In order for Sakura to understand how Naruto felt when she acted that way, she had to feel the same pain as him.
Quite simple.
It's called learning from your own mistakes.

Because she's a controversial and complex character, that's why.
If she wouldn't be, this wouldn't happen.

sakura is disliked because she isnt the heroine that people want her to be

then kishi fails at developing her character, so it adds salt to the wound

She's annoying, tempermental, dumb (she almost died by sasuke's hands 3 times yet is still madly in love with him for some dumb reason ???), and useless unless she can touch her target.
