The fact that someone keeps thinking about who's better than whom as a character, is proof that no matter what do you do, there will always be people complaining. Sometimes, the amount of fans you have is directly proportional to the amount of haters. It's a pity that Sakura fans generally hate Hinata and viceversa, but it's kind of pointless to argue with these people. They care more about being right than about what actually happens with the story. Don't concern yourself with this kind. Thankfully, the Manga does not go one way or another because of them.
I'm saying this even though I dislike Sakura. I have my own reasons for doing that. I also love Hinata. But I'm perfectly capable of discussing one character without bashing another. Just like you ask why do people have to hate Sakura to love Hinata (or viceversa), I wonder why does the same thing have to happen with Naruto and Sasuke or Minato and Itachi.
I guess the hunger to nurture one's ego is strong.
We need more logical people....the above is how people should be.
For example, I personally do partake in an interest in the pairings...simply because I believe it adds a sense of reality to the story (can't think that 12 or so kids are seriously going to go around one another devoid of emotional connections).
HOWEVER, my interest in the story hardly revolves around the desire to see Character A and Character B get together...it is basically icing on the cake or background information that, while it is needed, doesn't need to be so heavily focused on.
Why people cannot respect one character while loving another is beyond me. The problem is that Hinata fans will see her pivotal roles and points she makes in the series, and between that, Sakura extremists (people who idolize her above and beyond), and Hinata haters....they feel naturally inclined to simply hate Sakura. Sadly it is exactly the same for the reverse scenario.....I think even above that is that fans who do go on to insult their rival character, go FURTHER in the fact that they insult fans of said character (for example the lady or gentleman who used the phrase, "Hinata-holics").
As humans we inherently love ourselves, and when an individual refuses to love or acknowledge our presence we are naturally inclined to be completely against that individual. So, when that enemy goes and insults what you like and then directly insults you for liking such a thing, we retaliate by doing the exact same thing.....
Which, as I said before, is rather sad as through fighting one another we lose respect for the characters Kishimoto has made IN ADDITION to the larger parts of the story that deserves more focus.
