History DieForOurShip / GUNDAM

* Pictured above: [[RebelliousPrincess Relena Darlian/Peacecraft]], from the [[MostFanficWritersAreGirls fangirl-popular]] Franchise/{{Gundam}} series ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Gundam Wing]],'' is perhaps the most famous victim of DieForOurShip ''ever'' in {{anime}}, and may be one of '''the''' most hated fictional women, along with [[Manga/RanmaOneHalf Akane Tendo]], [[Manga/{{Bleach}} Orihime Inoue]], [[Literature/HarryPotter Ginny Weasley]] and [[FushigiYuugi Miaka Yuuki]]. She is often [[{{Flanderization}} Flanderized]] as a RichBitch, a {{Yandere}}, or (sometimes) even a CardCarryingVillain by [[YaoiFangirl fans who prefer the]] [[YaoiGuys Heero/Duo pairing]], even though Heero/Duo is ''virtually non-existent'' throughout the series (with the HoYay technically going more towards Trowa and Quatre than them), even though ''Duo himself'' is shown several times to [[ShipperOnDeck ship Heero/Relena]], and even though the lyrics to Relena's ImageSong "Always a Secret" depict her as [[NiceGirl a sweet and kind girl]] who would be [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy pretty willing to let go of Heero]] and go the MarriedToTheJob way if he fell in love with someone else.

* And believe it or not, ''not even the Universal Century Gundam series are free''. The hate that ''[[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Zeta Gundam]]'' fans levelled to [[{{Tsundere}} Fa Yuiri]] came less from her being a NaiveEverygirl stuck in a bad situation and not being able to become a 100% ActionGirl, and much more from her "being in between" [[StarCrossedLovers Kamille and Four's True Love.]] [[spoiler: Even more so after Four actually ''dies'' in really tragic circumstances, Kamille lives on but is {{mind rape}}d into catatonia, and Fa lives on too and stays with him as he slooooowly gets better.]]

** As far as [[TagAlongKid Saji]]/[[BrokenBird Louise]] shippers go, they have a good reason to bash Louise's partner [[OedipusComplex Andrei Smirnov]] for trying to win Louise's heart, as he has certainly became TheScrappy for crossing the MoralEventHorizon by [[spoiler:killing his father, [[ColonelBadass Colonel]] [[EnsembleDarkhorse Sergei]] [[CoolOldGuy Smirnov]]]]. And again by [[spoiler: [[MomentKiller interrupting Saji and Louise during an important conversation during Episode 19]].]] And ''again'' in episode 24 when [[spoiler: [[MurderTheHypotenuse he directly assults Saji]] [[FreudianExcuse blaming him for Louise's deteriorating mental condition]]. Fortunately, Setsuna is there to prevent it , and then [[KarmaHoudini Andrei is swayed away from them]] by his interaction with Marie...]] However, they "conveniently forget" that in TheMovie, Andrei not only [[TookALevelInKindness has learned his lesson]] and gotten some bits of CharacterDevelopment, but [[spoiler: he ''does'' [[LaserGuidedKarma pay for his sins]], via a RedemptionEqualsDeath.]]

** And it's not only about the infamous [=AsuCaga=] shipwar. If you like Kira/Lacus, apparently you can't like [[FallenPrincess Fllay]] and must call her "whore" and "rapist". If you prefer Kira/Fllay, you're often expected to call [[TheMessiah Lacus]] a plain and unrealistic PuritySue. Not ''all'' the fans are like that, but it's still often the first thing that other fans see when the ShipToShipCombat is mentioned.

The Franchise/{{Gundam}} meta-series is a BIG long runner with many different continuities. The bashing started with ''Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Zeta Gundam]]'', became mainstream with ''[[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam G Gundam]]'' and ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Gundam Wing]]'', and ever since then it just ''won't'' stop.

The {{Gundam}} meta-series is a BIG long runner with many different continuities. The bashing started with ZetaGundam, became mainstream with GGundam and GundamWing, and ever since then it just ''won't'' stop.

* Pictured above: [[RebelliousPrincess Relena Darlian/Peacecraft]], from the [[MostFanficWritersAreGirls fangirl-popular]] {{Gundam}} series ''GundamWing,'' is perhaps the most famous victim of DieForOurShip ''ever'' in {{anime}}, and may be one of '''the''' most hated fictional women, along with [[RanmaOneHalf Akane Tendo]], [[Manga/{{Bleach}} Orihime Inoue]], [[HarryPotter Ginny Weasley]] and [[FushigiYuugi Miaka Yuuki]].

** ''GundamWing'''s director Masashi Ikeda once admitted that he [[RelationshipWritingFumble can't write romances]], and that he was more concerned with politics. This is sometimes taken as evidence Relena and Heero aren't a "real" couple. But surely, if the director can't write romances, [[FridgeLogic then he can't write the]] FanPreferredCouple [[FridgeLogic either]]?

* In ''GundamSEED'' and its sequel: The ire of [[LauncherOfAThousandShips Athrun]]/[[{{Tsundere}} Cagalli]] fans, after [[ShipSinking canon went against them]] in ''GundamSEEDDestiny'', brought ''lots'' of bashing of [[NaiveEverygirl Meyrin Hawke]], [[{{Shorttank}} Lunamaria "Luna" Hawke]] and [[{{Stripperiffic}} Meer Campbell]]... to the point that some people have either: a) sworn off ''SEED'' as a whole SOLELY for the ShipSinking; b) sworn off the Athrun/Cagalli pairing, or c) ''bashed [=AsuCaga=] back'' for the evil it inflicted on their girls or ships - especially poor Cagalli.

* A case that's more or less forgotten but was horrible in its time, is the war between Domon/Allenby and Domon/Rain shippers in the ''GGundam'' fandom. Allenby/Domon stans bashed Rain for being "[[RealWomenNeverWearDresses girlier, therefore weaker and a slut]]" and "too whiny"; Domon/Rain fans retorted by calling Allenby a "third-wheel bitch" who "wanted to tear apart the OfficialCouple". [[spoiler: Nevermind that Ally pulled an IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy and ''pushed Domon towards Rain'' in the end.]]

* Exception: despite the sheer popularity of the [[BigBrotherMentor Neil "Lockon Stratos" Dylandy]]/[[DefrostingIceQueen Tieria Erde]] yaoi pairing in the ''{{Gundam 00}}'' fandom, its fangirls never seem to bash [[BridgeBunnies Feldt]] [[EmotionlessGirl Grace]] for having a sweet crush on Lockon. In fact, many of them actually ''[[EnsembleDarkhorse like]]'' her.

* And believe it or not, ''not even the Universal Century Gundam series are free''. The hate that ZetaGundam fans levelled to [[{{Tsundere}} Fa Yuiri]] came less from her being a NaiveEverygirl stuck in a bad situation and not being able to become a 100% ActionGirl, and much more from her "being in between" [[StarCrossedLovers Kamille and Four's True Love.]] [[spoiler: Even more so after Four actually ''dies'' in really tragic circumstances, Kamille lives on but is {{mind rape}}d into catatonia, and Fa lives on too and stays with him as he slooooowly gets better.]]
* GundamAGE has this too, due to the hostility between Flit/Emily and Flit/Yurin shippers. The first accuse Yurin of being "too goody-goody" and say her and Flit's romance is a borderline RomanticPlotTumor[=/=]StrangledByTheRedString deal, so Emily has a better chance since [[ChildhoodFriendRomance she has known Flit from much earlier]] and thus can handle him better; the latter say that Emily is a mere SatelliteLoveInterest without any depths, therefore the kind Yurin would be more "meaningful" and fit better as Flit's girlfriend. [[spoiler: [[HarsherInHindsight Made worse]] [[WhamEpisode by how episode 14]] '''[[KillTheCutie horribly kills off Yurin.]]''', thus Emily goes the VictoriousChildhoodFriend route (at the very high price of knowing Flit [[TheGwenStacy will never get over Yurin]], mind you).]]

** This brought a [[http://i.imgur.com/j7Ur1.jpg VERY bitter meme]] in which the more rabit [[spoiler: Flit/Yurin]] fans lash at [[spoiler: Emily]] after the aforementioned facts. The UnfortunateImplications born from this are insanely creepy [[spoiler: (Yurin is a pure little saint who "deserved" Flit better for being "the cute and super pure girl", Flit only married Emily to make her a ReplacementGoldfish for Yurin, Flit [[UnwantedSpouse deep down hates Emily]] and wishes '''she''' was the one who died instead so Yurin would be his wife instead, etc.]]) [[http://mr-starman.tumblr.com/post/41795144234/frozenviolets-zetsubouwill-this-why-cant-i as pointed out here]].

** In the second generation, [[TheCutie Romary]] got ''massive'' loathing from the [[TheHero Asem]] / [[TheRival Zeheart]] [[HoYay shippers.]] And more than one potshot from Asem/[[PluckyGirl Arisa]] fans, too. And bonus accusations of being TheObstructiveLoveInterest or a ShallowLoveInterest for being a GirlNextDoor.

The {{Gundam}} meta-series is a BIG long runner with many different continuities. The bashing started with GGundam and GundamWing, and ever since then it just ''won't'' stop.

* Pictured above: [[RebelliousPrincess Relena Darlian/Peacecraft]], from the [[MostFanficWritersAreGirls fangirl-popular]] {{Gundam}} series ''GundamWing,'' is perhaps the most famous victim of DieForOurShip ''ever'' in {{anime}}, and may be one of '''the''' most hated fictional women, along with [[RanmaOneHalf Akane Tendo]], [[Manga/{{Bleach}} Orihime Inoue]], [[HarryPotter Ginny Weasley]] and [[FushigiYuugi Miaka Yuuki]]. She is often [[{{Flanderization}} Flanderized]] as a RichBitch, a {{Yandere}}, or (sometimes) even a CardCarryingVillain by [[YaoiFangirl fans who prefer the]] [[YaoiGuys Heero/Duo pairing]], even though Heero/Duo is ''virtually non-existent'' throughout the series (with the HoYay technically going more towards Trowa and Quatre than them), even though ''Duo himself'' is shown several times to [[ShipperOnDeck ship Heero/Relena]], and even though the lyrics to Relena's ImageSong "Always a Secret" depict her as [[NiceGirl a sweet and kind girl]] who would be [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy pretty willing to let go of Heero]] if he fell in love with someone else.
** Technically, this happens to most of the show's female cast, since there's a 1-to-1 ratio of men to women among the primary cast -- even ones who don't express any overt signs of romantic love for their counterparts and seem to go more for friendship or partnership with the guys. Relena gets it the worst (by far) because of a bad first impression. Other common victims are Duo's partner and potential girlfriend [[GenkiGirl Hilde]]; [[TheDragon Treize's right-hand]] Lady Une; and Quatre's rival/counterpart [[RichBitch Dorothy]], who also receives hate for opposing and hurting TheWoobie during a fight late in the show. Trowa's CoolBigSis Catherine Bloom gets surprisingly little of this, perhaps because she and Trowa act more like siblings than potential lovers. [[spoiler: It ''has'' been established in recent years that they are, in fact, blood siblings]].

** What makes the Rain vs Allenby debate even more interesting is that Koichi Tokita, the author and artist of the official manga adaptation, went on record as saying he preferred Allenby. However, rather than making Rain look bad, he tended to make Allenby look better, both in the manga itself and in the silly {{Yonkoma}} included with it.

** Sadly, it has started... in Feldt's "defense". More than a few Feldt/[[spoiler: Lyle Dylandy (Neil's BackupTwin)]] fans bash Anew Returner HARD and call her a CanonSue for threatening their OTP. Which is ironic and utterly ''stupid'', since before Anew ''ever'' was in the picture, [[spoiler: Lyle actually preferred to put on a JerkassFacade in front of Feldt and [[ItsNotYouItsMe push her away]], rather than encourage her to pursue his affections.]] The fact that Anew in canon [[spoiler:hooked up with Lyle, turned on the crew (even if as a ManchurianAgent under MindControl), ''and'' wasn't convinced that her time/feelings for Lyle were true until it was way too late]] doesn't help fangirls' negative perception of her at all, even if that's not all there is to her character.

** As far as [[TagAlongKid Saji]]/[[BrokenBird Louise]] shippers go, they have a good reason to bash Louise's partner [[OedipusComplex Andrei Smirnov]] for trying to win Louise's heart, as he has certainly became TheScrappy for crossing the MoralEventHorizon by [[spoiler:killing his father, [[ColonelBadass Colonel]] [[EnsembleDarkhorse Sergei]] [[CoolOldGuy Smirnov]]]]. And again by [[spoiler: [[MomentKiller interrupting Saji and Louise during an important conversation during Episode 19]].]] And ''again'' in episode 24 when [[spoiler: [[MurderTheHypotenuse he directly assults Saji]] [[FreudianExcuse blaming him for Louise's deteriorating mental condition]].
