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

There's this thing about her personality that makes me dislike her a lot. And no it has nothing to do with the fact that she's considered useless. In fact, I thought she was already becoming a bad-ass and she had even earned some of my respect. But in my eyes, she's still the annoying girl that she used to be.

Sakura is disliked because deep down in our hearts, we "wanted" (that's past tense for all you dumb ****s) her to be with Naruto, but since she keeps overlooking him because she is portrayed as the blonde girl (even though her hair is pink) who goes after the bad boys. In this case would be Sasuke. Masashi Kishimoto has made it clear that Hinata will be the chosen princess for Naruto, and Sakura is just a ***** in my opinion...

there's one thing i could put this out that she's not useless..
what if i asked you this??

what about hinata is the one who replaced sakura.. ( change their team )
what will naruto become?? he'll die..when he go on rampage mode againts orochimaru in the beginning of shippuden..
also
naruto has determination to beat gaara was to protect sakura..
what if that girl were hinata??it would be a different story..i may think up he'll got beaten rather than beating..sorry for my bad grammar man..i'm from indonesia after all.. most people here didn't speak english oftenly..so please bear with me.

Its no secret that Sakura is probably the most disliked character in the Naruto fan population. The most common reason Ive generally seen is that shes "useless" but I dont think thats true, her overall feats throughout the manga far outweigh any other character in the K11 bar Naruto.

I think the reason she is hated is simply her personality/character: shes whiny, temperamental, loud, impulsive and sentimental, i.e., she is the embodiment of the word b!tch (its like shes on her period 24/7 and this is especially true of the animes portrayal of her character).

When I watched anime, I developed an instinctive dislike of her character for these reasons, I see complaints about her role in the manga as rationalization tbh, I think those of us who dislike her simply dislike her essential character traits.

I think the fact that she does so little with the amount of screen time that she has is the real reason. Yes she can do some useful things (although saying that she beat Sasori is an invalid statement) but she has so much more screen time then any other character where she has the ability to do something useful, and she doesn't. She just heals people after they fight. Which is a useful thing, but when thinking about a ninja's usefulness only through battle, yes she is theoretically useful, but that usefulness is very poorly expressed.

If you take into account how much action screen time each character has, really the only ninja who does less than sakura (in battle, when looking at all of Naruto, not just select parts) is Tenten. And I know that some other characters might on average be less useful than sakura, and that uselessness may not be seen, it doesn't matter, because that uselessness will not be seen. Every other character does on average more useful things with the action time that they get.

On top of Sakura's b!tchy attitude, she also has reiterated and thrown in our faces and established by herself through her own thoughts that she is useless. I think that this mentality that she is useless also comes from her a) uselessness at the beginning of the series, and b) her uselessness being almost a part of the plot. Remember when she gets knocked out when hit by Kabuto's body? That is something that feeds into her being useless, she was knocked out in one unintentional blow. And her remark later when healing Naruto that all she could do was heal Naruto after the battle a) deemphasizes healing as opposed to battle combat, so that when you look at how great a healer she is it still comes into question whether or not she is as or more useful than a good battle ninja, and b) establishes a feeling of Sakura's uselessness recognized by both the viewer and by Sakura.

Not only that, but when you have now a thought of Sakura being useless built essentially for you, then every time you see sakura it will register in your mind either consciously or subconsciously, and your mind will deemphasize all the useful things that Sakura does and emphasize all of the useless things that Sakura does. Because your mind already knows "the truth", it will see the situation in a particular way skewed towards supporting that truth. This, combined with the fact that sakura isn't the most useful character, and between all of the characters we most frequently see she does the least in battle, she is almost written in as a character meant to be thought of as weak and useless.

In Naruto, what makes most characters useful is their battle skills. Sakura has battle skills, but rarely uses them effectively. She is more of a healing type, and while she is a great healer which is extremely useful, it isn't the type of traditional usefulness instilled on the eyes of the naruto viewer. And when you are knocked out by a tossed body, when you don't do anything and have someone else have to get injured taking blows for you/for your lack of doing things, when you are constantly being saved and begging for others to help you, It is not irrational for some fans to call her useless. A true fan knows just as useful she truly is, but when you look at it and you don't delve deep into it it is easy to consider sakura useless and is not wrong in a sense.

what make you think that? its like
Someone: hey sakura give up on your friends
Sakura:eek:k

No for real if sakura anything like you said (in forest of death )she wont stay awake to make sure naruto and sasuke are save she wont make trap for who try to attack her friends she wont fight to portect them and risk her life if she like you said she will let the sound ninja to take sasuke so she can be save she wont cut her hair and try to waste time for them

In the chunin exam on the test she was going to quit for naruto sake not thinking about herslef when she already knew all the answers she would act selfish and think only about her and sasuke

She wont risk her life for her friend sasuke against gaara

She wont run at the kyubbi risking her life just for naruto

Sakura act selfish on little things like going with a date with naruto or things like that but when it comes to real thing she is not near being selfish she risked her life for an old hag who she just met by taking the attack instead and doesnt want take the antidote for herself still wants chyio still thinking of others even when the sword is inside of her
