Sakura wants to love someone specific (not just anyone), who is clearly above her league and violently rejects the one who actually loves her because she thinks she deserves better.

tbh most people don't hate Sakura because she's not with Naruto. They hate her because she's a badly written character. Mainly because of the fact that she has no other goals or aspirations in her life other than pursuing a longtime crush. Not to mention also still being in love with someone despite multiple instances where the guy in question was either dismissive or tried to kill her.

Not just that but

Do you really think that the Sakura who said she would do everything to keep Sasuke from leaving the village is the same Sakura who accepted the mission to kill him for the good of her village?

I also don't understand why people blame her for forgiving Sasuke later, The goal of forgiving Sasuke was hers and NARUTO's too....and yet at the critical moment when Sasuke was a true villain, she (with the help of Sai) realized even before Naruto that at that time Sasuke was a danger to the village

It does not make her a bad person, you are correct, but she is considered poorly written. People dislike her as a character, not merely because she is a bad person. Now what makes her "poorly written"?

The issue with Sakura is that she has less going on for her versus Sasuke and Naruto; despite the fact that Sasuke is a much worst person than Sakura, Sasuke actually has goals and is a narrative contrast to Naruto, rejecting the village and his friendship with Naruto to pursue his vendetta against Itachi and later Konohagakure, whereas Naruto aspires to be the hokage while trying to bring Sasuke back. Naruto suffers from the loss of Jiraiya whereas Sasuke suffers the loss of Itachi. Now, what exactly is Sakura's narrative importance that warrants so much screentime?

At first, in the original series, she has a crush on Sasuke, and that...is it. A moody teenage boy who does not reciprocate her feelings, who she is only superficially attracted to. This does not make her a bad person, but it is still a poorly justified crush as far as Naruto is concerned. At least with Naruto, part of his attachment to Sasuke is linked to their prior friendship and the fact that Sasuke willingly took a bullet for him in spite of his goals. Naruto knows Sasuke's loneliness, he can understand where Sasuke is coming from. Sakura does not, and as a result, her rapport with Sasuke is much more shallow and uninteresting.

Add on the fact that she is not a particularly strong character at the beginning with few cool abilities and it should be easy to see why people dislike her. She does not justify the amount of screentime she is given, and her character development takes forever, even putting aside the filler (Which they are many). Sakura lacks any signature techniques until she began training under Tsunade at the end of Naruto. This took 250+ episodes.

So we get into Shippuden and while Sakura improved, she more or less got shafted to a supporting character, and while this is for the better, it is also such a giant waste of potential, and exposes more or less Kishimoto's greatest weaknesses in writing, especially with his female characters.

In short, in the first half, she is a whiny teenager with nothing going for her in terms of narrative for over 200 episodes. While yes, whiny teenagers with superficial crushes do exist in the real world, they are also not necessarily the main characters in every book for a reason; a Judy Blume book on puberty is far different than what is an action series where its titular character is attempting to become the Hokage. Why on Earth do we need a whiny teenager like Sakura in this manga/anime? What purpose does she serve if Kishimoto refuses to have her grow up and attain some level of narrative significance like her male counterparts?

I dislike her writing, and the fact that she became a formidable combatant later in the series does not really excuse the fact that she was still poorly written and or underutilized in both parts of the series. Sakura's problem wasn't exactly that she was weaksauce, but that she was largely uninteresting yet given too much attention in Naruto, and relegated to a supporting character in Naruto: Shippuden with barely an arc. Also, the fact she married Sasuke is a bit much; yeah, Sasuke help defeated the final threat, but he was also responsible for a ton of shit and has personally mistreated Sakura. None of that goes away, so it is kind of disingenous to the little development Sakura had to marry him.

I blame this partially on Boruto needing an Uchiha for the next generation though.

I don't want to fight with you anymore, but think:

-Sakura just realized that Naruto loved her

-she was also upset to realize this, as she thought Naruto was sad for never getting a response from your love (You can see this in the conversation she has with Sai)

I'm not saying that lying to him was the right choice but I don't see Sakura's attitude with malicious intent, she wanted her friend to feel better if she heard "I love you" the girl he liked

Of course this is not confirmed but I wanted to show you another point of view on this scene

Sakura is written to be so realistic that she is easy to dislike. She really loves Sasuke because he is uwu so hot. This is despite several times Sasuke almost killed her. Even in boruto, Sasuke almost never goes home in which the hokage sees his kids more. Like a single mother irl, and she chose that fate. Sakura is proof that realism in romance fails to connect with the male audience at least.

it doesn't matter who she loves , but she loved a person who tries to kill her several times , never cared about her until the end if Naruto shipuden, she ignored the one who risked his life to protect her many time and didn't even treat as a friend, she even used Naruto for her own benefits by manipulating him by saying I love you Naruto sama.😂😂. she just loved him because of his handsomeness and Mistry about him. she didn't even understand how sasuke felt his whole life, what is he suffering for and didn't consult him , she only talks about love and she even insulted Naruto infront of him for not having parents then sasuke said fuckoff , and she didn't even try to understand instead just rushed after him like a peace of shit.

i think you are women that's why you are telling this but men are more emotional then women, she didn't under sasuke that's why sasuke ignored her and Naruto understood sasuke that's why sasuke respects Naruto, sakura didn't understand how sasuke felt that's what real women do , they talk what they want , they doesn't listen what her bf or husband says. they just shout and bark. if sakura helped sasuke mentally by helping slowly then it would have worked but she just runs her mouth and leachs on him, also she belittles other who doesn't have parents (Naruto), that the reason sasuke does care shit about sakura(WOMEN)

"Only woman with a sweet and good-hearted nature?" Were we watching the same show? She verbally assaulted Naruto many times and sometimes even beat him up in the anime (usually in fillers, but still) just because he annoyed her.

Not to mention that she fell in love with a literal psychopath who wanted to kill all the villagers in Konoha and tried killing her too. Yet we're supposed to sympathize with her...?

I don't hate her cause she wanted Sasuke over naruto, you like who you like.. it was the fact that she believed just by telling naruto she loved him it would get him to stop pursuing Sasuke when in reality the reason why naruto wanted to save Sasuke was bigger than that not just the promise he made to her. like naruto wanted to be hokage, the line "How can I become hokage when I can't even save a friend" that was living in his head rent free and on top of that naruto considered Sasuke as his first ever best friend. like the connection he had with dude it was priceless to him. and she had the audacity to make it all about her was crazy it felt mad disrespectful, as if she disregarded everything else he was fighting for/ trying to prove to himself and the village like wtf. Out of all people too like come on doesn't she know him that's why I hate her

Do you know what a Tsundere personality is?

Tsundere generally show violent and angry behavior, but inside they care about who they disturb, this is the case of Sakura with Naruto,
this is common in many animes such as: one piece (Nami and Luffy) evangelion (asuka and shinji)

And another thing, are you really going to ignore all the moments of empathy that Sakura had with Naruto to just remember these stupid comedy scenes?in the scene below she was crying for Naruto,she was worried because Naruto had awakened the fourth tail

she is not tsundare , she is also yandare with delusion for sasuke, tsundare is one who loves but die show to the one she loved instead shows anger. Naruto is just a spoiled kid for sakura so how can you say she is tsundare. she is yandare for sasuke is correct.

Ok she's useless in combat but Sakura is hated because at the beginning Naruto like her and she hates him, she has eyes only for Sasuke which became Naruto love and ninja rival, everyone experienced that in life mainly it does start happening at school and it sucks and Sakura became the symbol of all that girls that do friendzone guys. This is the life nothing can be done about it just overcome it to understand Sakura is completely normal and that Naruto is not an harem anime. If you think her taste in guys is terrible it's a very good reason to give up on her at least in a romantic way.

Do you really think she had some evil intention behind that scene? a lie is wrong and I know that, but imagine a lie that not only does not benefit the person who told the lie (Sakura) but also has the intention of making the person who received the lie feel better (Naruto)and Sakura's plan did not come to fruition that is, nothing happened that would cause any problems for Naruto, if really Sakura made Naruto pass by "false love" Then I would understand the hate

Really, bro? Sakura is "the only woman with a sweet and good-hearted nature in this show?" Stop capping. That's Hinata. Who was a nice person even as a kid before Sakura gained some maturity in Shippuden. And people are entitled to not like the relationship between her and Sasuke just as much as other people don't like other pairings in the show. Or even who these female characters choose to fall in love with. Her love for him and wanting to bring him back herself was the whole basis for her training after Naruto failed to rescue him. And why should she even want to bring him back? There was no romance or even hints of romance between them before he left the village. Sakura tried to get involved in his life while Sasuke just kept on pushing away. You say "who r you guys to decide that she can't love that or this person." Why not? She's a fictional character that really has no say in how she's written. And on top of that, a lot of her fans want to present her as some strong symbol of feminism when she's chasing after and being devalued by some guy who saw no value in her as a teammate. Sasuke would've probably shown her more respect if she wasn't always fixated on him.

And on top of that, a lot of her fans want to present her as some strong symbol of feminism when she's chasing after and being devalued by some guy who saw no value in her as a teammate. Sasuke would've probably shown her more respect if she wasn't always fixated on him.

@TheFireNinja more like "the most useless woman in the entire show"

Sakura wants to love someone specific (not just anyone), who is clearly above her league and violently rejects the one who actually loves her because she thinks she deserves better.

yep totally delusional , love means caring and understanding each other,

Then it seems like she never loved Sasuke to begin with. I stand corrected.

Bro what? Nobody hates Sakura because she loves Sasuke. People hate her because she never does anything.
Now I will say while I never understood why so many people dislike her SO much, she definitely isn’t a great character. I wouldn’t really call her a bad character, but more an underutilized character.
From the very start of the story we’re told that Naruto wants to be the next Hokage and Sasuke wants to avenge his clan. Throughout the several hundred episodes these characters along with their dreams and aspirations change and evolve. Naruto stops acting like a kid and matures, he learns to control kuruma, he starts becoming g respected by the people in the leaf village and become the Hokage. Sasuke ends up deserting the village, goes through his edgy phase, learns revenge isn’t all its cracked up to be, matures as a person.
Sakura never had any of this, she never had something driving her character, she never really accomplished anything, and she never really changed throughout hundreds and hundreds of episodes. Yet the story still focuses so much time on her. She doesn’t do anything except waste screen time. She is the most underutilized character ever, of all time.
