** Note that Platform/FanFictionNet have made attempts to avert this trope (pitifully, to little success) by separating the main character Kenshin Himura into three different entries: ''Shinta'' (the child orphan), ''Battousai'' (the manslayer), and ''Kenshin'' (the wandering swordsman).

** While it's not as bad as all the Masaya hate, some Ichigo/Ryou fans bash Retasu for having a crush on Ryou, as seen in some ''Website/YouTube'' comments. Nevermind that [[ObliviousToLove Ryou doesn't seem to be aware of her crush]] and that she is [[ShrinkingViolet way too shy]] [[CannotSpitItOut to tell him anyway]].

* Happens to Souma Oogami of ''Manga/DestinyOfTheShrineMaiden'', with fans likening him to an idiot or an overbearing bastard (of course, as nice as he is, he is choosing [[GirlsLove the wrong series]] to love his girl). This decreased considerably (but still didn't stop completely) when the series ended [[spoiler:with Souma [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy voluntarily stepping back]] after Himeko and Chikane confessed their love to each other]].

* Yoshiki from ''Manga/VenusVersusVirus'' gets a hand full of this; he's the boyfriend of the protagonist, Sumire. Being a male love interest a GirlsLove series is always difficult. It helps that [[spoiler:he turns out to be a villain in the manga and anime, especially the manga.]]

** Oh '''no'''. ''Anime/PowerOfHopePrecureFullBloom'' was basically a one-two punch to long-time [[Anime/FutariWaPrettyCureSplashStar Saki/Mai]] shippers when Episode 4 revealed that not only does Mai have a boyfriend, but Saki is ''engaged'', specifically to a new man she met at a culinary school, meaning fans have no idea who to direct their anger towards since both of them [[TheGhost don't have any onscreen appearances as of late]]. Episode 5 makes things worse, since the staff brought back Coco and Nutts, and decided to double down on the former's relationship with Nozomi, who was ''underaged'' when the two had their romance arc back in ''Anime/YesPrettyCure5''. Many fans who were praising ''Full Bloom'' despite its flaws immediately made a 180 when it seems that Toei nuked one of the biggest HoYay pairings since the franchise's beginning while bringing back the most hated pairing at the request of no one, while also making many weary of the upcoming ''Anime/MahoGirlsPrecure 2'', since if Saki[=/=]Mai isn't safe, then Mirai[=/=]Riko doesn't stand a chance.

* ''Manga/HunterXHunter'': Retz from the non-canon Movie * ''[[Anime/HunterXHunterPhantomRouge Phantom Rouge]]'' gets this from hardcore Killugon shippers who see her as a threat to the pairing, ignoring that [[spoiler: she was already dead]].

** Oh '''no'''. ''Anime/PowerOfHopePrecureFullBloom'' was basically a one-two punch to long-time [[Anime/FutariWaPrettyCureSplashStar Saki/Mai]] shippers when Episode 4 revealed that not only does Mai have a boyfriend, but Saki is ''engaged'', specifically to a new man she met at a culinary school, meaning fans have no idea who to direct their anger towards since both of them [[TheGhost don't have any onscreen appearances as of late]]. The preview for Episode 5 makes things worse, since the staff brought back Coco and Nutts, and decided to double down on the former's relationship with Nozomi, who was ''underaged'' when the two had their romance arc back in ''Anime/YesPrettyCure5''. Many fans who were praising ''Otona'' despite its flaws immediately made a 180 when it seems that Toei nuked one of the biggest HoYay pairings since the franchise's beginning while bringing back the most hated pairing at the request of no one, while also making many weary of the upcoming ''Anime/MahoGirlsPrecure 2'', since if Saki[=/=]Mai isn't safe, then Mirai[=/=]Riko doesn't stand a chance.

* In a Ranka vs. Sheryl debate on a ''Anime/MacrossFrontier'' forum thread, Ranka gets criticized for being a "barely legal loli [[{{Moe}} moeblob]]", while Sheryl gets flak for her overly flirty attitude and [[RichBitch her somewhat selfish, overbearing personality]], even if onscreen, when both are not being rivals to each other about Alto, they have somewhat of a Senpai/Kohai relationship, and care for each other a lot (which has more than a [[HoYay Les Yay]] whiff, for some).

** The fandom '''[[ShipToShipCombat exploded]]''' after chapter 314, which showed [[spoiler: Alibaba and Morgiana]] [[RelationshipUpgrade becoming a couple]]. Some claimed the first is "possessed," "mistaken" and "wrong" for choosing the latter over his other love interest, [[spoiler: Kougyoku ([[{{irony}} ironically]])]], and others insisted that [[spoiler:[[AntiHero Hakuryuu]]]] would have been better off with [[spoiler: Morgiana]].

* The ''Manga/MarmaladeBoy'' fandom, surprisingly, doesn't bash the people involved in the ridiculously huge LoveDodecahedron ''that'' much (outside of hating [[TheBrainlessBeauty Jinny Golding]] for pulling something so stupid that [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone even]] ''[[MyGodWhatHaveIDone she]]'' [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone regrets it later]]... but the hardest, cruelest bashing actually piles up on handsome teacher Shinichi "Nat-chan" Namura, who's the love interest of Miki's best friend [[{{Ojou}} Meiko Akizuki]]. Yes, this is one of the cases where a TeacherStudentRomance situation is developed ''sympathetically'', but the fans who ship Meiko with [[ShelteredAristocrat Satoshi Miwa]] just will ''not'' stop calling Namura-sensei "pedophile" or "asshole who makes Meiko suffer for nothing". [[spoiler: Even after Satoshi sees he cannot sway Meiko away from Namura and pulls an IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy along with Namura's UnluckyChildhoodFriend, Ryouko-sensei.]]

** Several Shinji/Rei shippers love to [[{{Flanderization}} flanderize]] Asuka from a {{Tsundere}} [[InferioritySuperiorityComplex with deep-seated psychological issues]] to an outright [[{{Yandere}} psycho]], while in some Shinji/Asuka fics, Rei is either a soulless zombie, creepier than Kaworu, or [[Fanfic/NobodyDies just too crazy awesome]].

*** If you thought Luffy/Boa vs Luffy/Nami shippers got intense, then the vitriol Luffy/Nami and Zoro/Nami shippers have towards Sanji/Nami shippers is even worse. A lot of the time the former shippers tend to paint Sanji’s HandsomeLech behaviour as genuinely sexually assaulting Nami (even though she beats him up frequently in canon) and they will flat out ignore/disregard any evidence of ShipTease moments between Sanji and Nami in arcs e.g Thriller Bark, Zou and Whole Cake Island. Of course, [[Creator/ToeiAnimation Toei]] adding Sanji/Nami scenes that weren’t in the manga to the Whole Cake Island and Wano anime only fanned the flames of anger, especially from the Luffy/Nami camp.

* The cast of ''Manga/OuranHighSchoolHostClub'' have all fallen victim to this. Because you can rationalise pretty much any pairing with Haruhi, fanfic writers will portray any characters percieved as being in the way as evil, controlling, abusive, and the like, particularly Hikaru in Kaoru/Haruhi and vice-versa, or Mori in Honi/Haruhi, and often Tamaki in anything. Because HoYay can also be seen in any way you want, there's always at least one victim, usually Haruhi or that character's [[HeterosexualLifePartners Heterosexual Life Partner]].

** Oh '''no'''. ''Anime/KibouNoChikaraOtonaPrettyCure23'' was basically a one-two punch to long-time [[Anime/FutariWaPrettyCureSplashStar Saki/Mai]] shippers when Episode 4 revealed that not only does Mai have a boyfriend, but Saki is ''engaged'', specifically to a new man she met at a culinary school, meaning fans have no idea who to direct their anger towards since both of them [[TheGhost don't have any onscreen appearances as of late]]. The preview for Episode 5 makes things worse, since the staff brought back Coco and Nutts, and decided to double down on the former's relationship with Nozomi, who was ''underaged'' when the two had their romance arc back in ''Anime/YesPrettyCure5''. Many fans who were praising ''Otona'' despite its flaws immediately made a 180 when it seems that Toei nuked one of the biggest HoYay pairings since the franchise's beginning while bringing back the most hated pairing at the request of no one, while also making many weary of the upcoming ''Anime/MahoGirlsPrecure 2'', since if Saki[=/=]Mai isn't safe, then Mirai[=/=]Riko doesn't stand a chance.

** After episode 7, [[spoiler: Hitomi Shizuki]] started to get LOTS of hate for [[spoiler: confronting Sayaka on her feelings for Kamijou, and ''confessing'' to him a little later. Which, unbeknownst to Kamijou and Hitomi, kickstarts [[TheWoobie an already VERY unstable and traumatized Sayaka]]'s [[DespairEventHorizon fall into despair]] [[FaceHeelTurn that ultimately led her to become a witch]].]] She had no idea that such actions would bring that horrible mess, never finds out what's going on ''and'' is said [[spoiler: to fall into depression when Sayaka's lifeless body is found]], but since a part of the fandom seems to believe that [[spoiler: Sayaka's healing of Kamijou's arm apparently means she's "his owner" and that he is ''required'' to become her prize-boyfriend]], the girl is "a traitor bitch who is completely to blame for our {{Woobie}}'s suffer for [[spoiler: stealing her man away]]". Which brings MASSIVE UnfortunateImplications since it invokes the idea that a woman's worth as a whole person is bound to [[spoiler: [[UnrequitedTragicMaiden acting selflessly]] to the point of ´{{Love Martyr}}dom in regards to a LoveTriangle]]; since [[spoiler: Hitomi]] defies these harmful ideas and [[spoiler: refuses to give up on her own happiness when Sayaka doesn't take her chance to ask Kamijou out]], she is to be hated and slutshamed and blamed for everything that went wrong, completely erasing the others' own responsibilities.

* This happens to just about every female ''Anime/WeissKreuz'' character who's shown some kind of romantic interest in any of the [[CastFullOfGay eight main characters]]. [[{{Ojou}} Ouka Sakaki]] probably comes off worst; despite the fact that she is both [[spoiler: Omi's cousin]] and [[spoiler: dead]], fanficcers are still capable of transforming her into an arrogant, shallow RichBitch who Omi only dated because he was too polite to tell her where to go. In fact, though none of the four HitmanWithAHeart regulars' love affairs last more than a few episodes and Aya's feelings for Sakura were no more than platonic, their would-be love interests are far too frequently bashed for getting in the way of the HoYay, with [[FailureKnight Youji's]] ex-girlfriend [[ILetGwenStacyDie Asuka]], who was dead before the series even ''began'', being about the only exception.
** Even in Asuka's case, some shippers have suggested Youji only hung around with her in the first place in an attempt to prove he wasn't gay, or they sub in a perfectionist to serve as his childhood sweetheart in her place.
** This trope often gets applied to ''Ken'' for no reason other than his [[VitriolicBestBuds close]] [[HeterosexualLifePartners friendship]] with Youji would make Youji's new love look less important. When he's not being ignored completely as a result he's written as a clueless moron, the [[StrawmanBall token misogynist homophobe]], jealously and obsessively in love with Aya who never so much as glances in his direction, or any combination of the above.
** And then Youji [[spoiler:gets amnesia after all the shit that happened to him in Gluhen, gets married to an HospitalHottie named Asuka Itou and by all accounts lives happily ever after with the girl]]. You can probably imagine how well the shippers took this. About the only positive is that [[FlorenceNightingaleEffect Asuka Itou]] usually gets ignored or railroaded into deciding (with ridiculous suddenness) that she [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy wants her beloved to be happy]] rather than suffering the wholesale character assassination most of the other women face.
** In the [[ThePsychoRangers Schwarz]] side... just mention either [[PsychopathicManchild Nanami aka Tot]] or [[DarkMagicalGirl Sally Schumars]]. You'll have hordes of [[TeenGenius Omi]][=/=][[PsychicPowers Nagi]] and [[ManipulativeBastard Schuldig]]/ [[PsychoForHire Farfarello]] fangirls screaming for their blood.

* In ''Manga/SensualPhrase'', the lead female of the manga ''and'' [[FetishedAbuser akuya's]] canonical girlfriend [[NaiveEverygirl Aine]] suffered a SEVERE case of DemotedToExtra in the anime. In the meantime, Sakuya was seen [[CompensatedDating accepting dates]] from an AloofDarkHairedGirl named Missa, who often snarked at him. When Aine was brought into the anime plot, she was loathed by those who still shipped Sakuya and Missa.

** [[DesertBandits Yamcha]] often gets twisted into a wife-beater, or a cheater by fans of the [[GadgeteerGenius Bulma]][=/=][[TheRival Vegeta]] pairing. Although there’s a one-off mention of Yamcha's adultery by Future Trunks, [[InformedFlaw not seen in the show itself]]. It's also worth noting that, in canon, neither Bulma nor Vegeta are exactly ideal "significant other" material themselves by any stretch.

** [[DesertBandits Yamcha]] often gets twisted into a wife-beater, or a cheater by fans of the [[GadgeteerGenius Bulma]][=/=][[TheRival Vegeta]] pairing, despite there being little to no canon evidence for either. It's also worth noting that, in canon, neither Bulma nor Vegeta are exactly ideal "significant other" material themselves by any stretch.
