History DieForOurShip / WesternAnimation

* Even ComicBook/{{Batman}} gets this treatment in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries''. Nightwing/Batgirl fans absolutely loathe how he had a thing with Batgirl. Dating your son's love interest breaks so many things to people. [[spoiler:The fact Bruce officially impregnated Barbara makes it worse, though she had a miscarriage]].

** A good portion of Kigo writers portray Ron as a completely incompetent, useless tag-along who doesn't have any redeeming qualities -- that is, someone who doesn't "deserve" Kim. The more extreme shippers portray his friendship with Kim as little more than "generosity" (that is, pity) on Kim's part. He usually isn't killed by such writers, but he usually has his role reduced to little more than an annoying [[TheScrappy Scrappy]] everyone else puts up with.

** Lizzie Devine, Numbuh One's girlfriend is often bashed. Numbuh Two is also often bashed for getting in the way of 1/5 even though he's not even ''in'' a relationship with Numbuh Five. (The latter case ''is'' no longer as common as it used to be.)

** Shelia from the DTV movie gets less hate, probably due to yelling at Garfield for flirting with her just to get a slice of anchovy pizza she stole. Even Arlene was ticked off by that.
--> Arlene: He's more loyal to his stomach than he is to me!

** Rayllie shippers aren't too fond of [[DarkMagicalGirl Alakshmi]] or Lucy, considering that the former girl got to give Ray a peck on the cheek first [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall (while grinning snarkily and winking at Allie)]], and the latter was put into a 2-episode LoveTriangle and had some pretty ShipTease-y moments before and after that. [[OriginalCharacters OCs]] shipped with Ray are hated even more, but that might be for [[RelationshipSue another reason...]]

** Jeremie Belpois receives this a lot from the Odd/Aelita crowd, he's usually portrayed as an abusive jerk who treats Aelita like his property or as simply caring more about his computer than her, many say Jeremie is simply too selfish and/or boring.

* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'':
** Terra was absolutely ''loathed'' by Beast Boy/Raven shippers after she appeared in season two. After her [[TheMole revelation as Slade's apprentice]], the hate magnified even more; many fics were written featuring Terra as a maniacal sociopath... which, ironically, fits the '''original''' [[Comicbook/TeenTitans comic version]] of her. The show's version is quite [[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds different.]]
** Starfire, as part of the OfficialCouple, tends to get a LOT of hatred from Robin/Raven fans.
** Robin and Beast Boy occasionally get hatred from Beast Boy/Raven shippers and Robin/Raven shippers respectively. Robin will also sometimes get this from Raven/Starfire shippers.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Kaijudo}}'':
** Rayllie shippers aren't too fond of [[DarkMagicalGirl Alakshmi]] or Lucy, considering that the former girl got to give Ray a peck on the cheek first [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall (while grinning snarkily and winking at Allie)]], and the latter was put into a 2-episode LoveTriangle and had some pretty ShipTease-y moments before and after that. [[OriginalCharacters OCs]] shipped with Ray are hated even more, but that might be for [[RelationshipSue another reason...]]
** Gabe/Sasha shippers, in an admittedly more platonic sense than usual, [[RonTheDeathEater make Gargle whiny and obnoxious]] [[UpToEleven to the Nth degree]] despite the two creatures reconciling in canon.
* ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'':
** Samantha "Sam" Manson (the one Danny ended up with) as this early in the fandom; she was hated, despised, and bashed in fanfiction written by Danny fangirls who paired Danny with the writer's OriginalCharacter. To this day, the worst of those stories are still archived in Quizilla. However, the hate for Sam toned down when [[WellIntentionedExtremist Valerie]] [[FallenPrincess Gray]] went through, not only CharacterDevelopment, but also a GondorCallsForAid episode in which she and Danny become friends, and eventually ended up in a DatingCatwoman situation. Since then, Valerie has been despised by a large part of the fandom (even though they broke up because [[ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies Valerie didn't want to put Danny in danger]]), since the two still maintained romantic feelings for each other. Although by the end of the series [[spoiler: it's hinted prior to his LastMinuteHookup with Sam that Danny got over Valerie,]] the hate is still going strong. It's not surprising to find a fanfic in which Sam is depressed over Danny and Valerie's relationship, and it turns out that Danny is only dating Valerie because he thinks Sam will never love him and never loved Valerie in the first place.
** Danny/Valerie shippers frequently claim Sam is some kind of manipulative shrew who thinks of Danny as a tool for her own agendas. It got even worse after [[VictoriousChildhoodFriend the finale.]]
* ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddparents'':
** Timmy/Trixie shippers end up bashing Tootie, and Timmy/Tootie shippers bash Trixie. It is mostly Trixie and Tootie fans who do the bashing... In one fanfic, known as "Trixie's True Self 2", Tootie even went to the evil side -- something she would never do on the show -- after Timmy started dating a new tomboy-fied Trixie. It is even said to happen [[ArmedWithCanon with the writers]].
** Missy (Timmy's new love interest in Season 9) has already gotten this. The fact that neither Tootie nor Trixie have appeared in this season doesn't help.
* ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'':
** The [[FanPreferredCouple Terry/Maxine and Terry/Melanie]] fans ''really'' hated Terry's canon girlfriend, Dana. Some even think that she's less sympathetic than the StalkerWithACrush who tried to kill her and/or that she deserved to die, just because she got fed up with being constantly StoodUp.
** Not helped when season 3 extra materials turned up a legit script of Terry/Max, that was not just given a simple rejection but given an automatic no by Timm (who had intended the episode to be Terry/Dana before Burnett rewrote it).
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'':
** Fans have never entirely forgiven [[ActionGirl Angela]] for picking [[BigGuy Broadway]] over [[EnsembleDarkhorse Brooklyn]]. Some of them (the ones that don't kill him off) even derail Broadway from a GentleGiant into a wife-beater in their fics so that Angela can go running into the arms of Brooklyn.
** There's an in-show example too, as Demona ships herself with Goliath even in the 1990s. Thus, she particularly hates Elisa more than she hates the rest of humanity.
* ''WesternAnimation/XMenEvolution'':
** The hate against the {{Tsundere}} Jean Grey was a given because her "love rival" for Scott's affection was the very popular and {{wangst}}y {{Goth}} Rogue. Amazingly, Gambit is never usually bashed, and his fans don't tend to bash Scott either, both proffering to pretend the other doesn't exist. Lance, ''aka'' Avalanche, who thanks to CharacterizationMarchesOn became a TroubledButCute JerkWithAHeartOfGold with [[EvenEvilHasStandards strong lines he will not cross, and effectively the most moral of the Brotherhood, and even helped save the entire city of Bayville]] is usually bashed by the more rabid fans of [[PlatonicLifePartners Kitty and Kurt]]. If he is lucky, he will get paired off with Tabitha, Wanda, Pietro, or a new character. But sometimes he is made a rapist and girlfriend beater in their fanwork to favor Kurt. Kurt's girlfriend [[FanOfUnderdog Amanda Sefton]] can also be portrayed as an AlphaBitch who is mean to Kitty and treats Kurt like garbage.
** Some Lance/Kitty fans are getting just as rabid as Kurtty fans. Yeah, overall they're not as bad, but some are ''really'' [[HeWhoFightsMonsters getting vicious towards Kurtty fans, and even Kurt in general.]] Usually they tend to just stick him with Amanda or even Wanda, but now, well, he's just as likely to get bashed. Although some do it to defend Lancitty from attack, some do take it too far, and accuse anyone who doesn't ship Lancitty, no matter the reason, of just being narrow-minded Kurtty fans. All this fighting over little [[LauncherOfAThousandShips Kitty]]! Someone needs to drop her and write the much hotter Lance/Kurt.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Ben 10}}'':
** As for Ben, Kai is often portrayed in fanfiction as a snobby RichBitch-esque character.
** Kevin/Gwen fans now perceive Charmcaster as getting in the way of their ship due to her seducing Kevin in her Alien Force debut episode. Michael Morningstar/Darkstar gets a similar reaction due to his constant flirtations toward "lovely Gwen". Sometimes there is no DieForOurShip, though, and Charmcaster and Darkstar wind up [[PairTheSpares paired with each other instead.]]

* Many shippers of the Jake/Rose relationship in ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDragonJakeLong'' became irate when Jake flirted with a certain pink-hat wearing girl because she was a girl who Jake was attracted to and [[OneTruePairing who was not Rose]]. She was even speculated to be the "Siren" of a later episode and working for the [[BigBad Dark Dragon]]. As the show played out, however, the girl proved to be nothing more than an extra with a few lines.
* Phoebus, from the Disney version of ''Disney/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame,'' gets this a lot from people who prefer Esmeralda to be with either [[TheGrotesque Quasimodo]] or [[LoveMakesYouEvil Frollo]]. Instead of being the wry, sensible man he is, Phoebus is portrayed as an abusive {{Jerkass}} (completely accurate in the novel, where Phoebus is the only main character without a single redeeming quality, but not in the Creator/{{Disney}} film). Quasi/Esme shippers especially seem to think that having Esme end up with Phoebus is [[BrokenAesop a betrayal]] of the film's "Looks don't matter" message.

* From ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'':
** Marceline the Vampire Queen is not the favorite character of Finn/Princess Bubblegum shippers when she gets paired with either character. It's since died down after Finn and Marcie both [[ShipSinking sunk the ship]] in the episode "Go With Me" while most of Bubblegum and Marceline's interactions can be interpreted as [[WeUsedToBeFriends a friendship gone sour]] just as much as a relationship gone bad.
** And both Marceline/Finn and Finn/Bubblegum shippers [[ShipToShipCombat have been reduced to screaming messes]] after the appearance of [[ThirdOptionLoveInterest the Flame Princess.]]
** A non-romantic or shippy example: Many fans had this opinion about Lemongrab after Too Young. Never mind the fact that he's an obnoxious, unempathetic, mean jerk - the fact that he (unintentionally) prevented Finn from being with Princess Bubblegum was what got Fubblegum shippers to hate him!
** And let's not forget that in the end of "Red Throne", Cinnamon Bun admitted his love to Flame Princess. That led those who ship Finn and Flame Princess to become outraged. So outraged, many ragequit the show. This rage has simmered down ever since WordOfGod confirmed that things between Cinnamon Bun and Flame Princess are strictly platonic, as FP is 16 and CB is 30.

* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' fans who pair Brian with Jillian hate Derek Wilcox.

* ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow'': Margaret and Eileen are hated by the Mordecai/Rigby [[YaoiFangirl Yaoi Fangirls]] (and some Fanboys).
* In the ''WesternAnimation/{{Sidekick}}'' fandom, Kitty and Vana are despised by the Trevor/Eric [[YaoiFangirl fangirls]] for obvious reasons.
* There are the type of ''WesternAnimation/{{Metalocalypse}}'' fans that believe Abigail gets in the way of their favored slash ships, even though she did not show as much interest in Pickles as he did for her. She still gets hate regardless.

* ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'':
** In the Total Drama Fandom, most Noah/Cody shippers absolutely despise Sierra due to her extensive stalkerish crush on Cody.

* ''WesternAnimation/Kaijudo'':
** Rayllie shippers aren't too fond of [[DarkMagicalGirl Alakshmi]] or Lucy, considering that the former girl got to give Ray a peck on the cheek first [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall(while grinning snarkily and winking at Allie)]], and the latter was put into a 2-episode LoveTriangle and had some pretty ShipTease-y moments before and after that. [[OriginalCharacters OCs]] shipped with Ray are hated even more, but that might be for [[RelationshipSue another reason...]]

** Strangly enough, Princess Cadence is usually well loved by almost everyone in the general consensuses. However, on the Rule34 side of the MLP FiM fandom, she is loathed by most of the yaoi fans, incest fans, and especially fans of pairings of Shining Armor with any pony (e.g Shining/Trixie, Shining/Big Mac, etc) but Cadence. As of late, the Shining Armor/Cadence pairing is one of the least popular (ironically enough, the pairing is well beloved by almost every fan of the series) in shipping. However, some people end up having ''Shining Armor'' die, though not for their ship, but rather the [[FridgeHorror implied]] MayflyDecemberRomance.

** Discord, while often beloved by the fandom for being a delightfully hilarious Q Expy, has gained lots of ire for getting in the way of FlutterDash and PinkieShy. Bulk Biceps even got some hatred for simply being with Fluttershy on the same relay team in Season 4.

** And let's not forget that in the end of "Red Throne", Cinnamon Bun admitted his love to Flame Princess. That led those who ship Finn and Flame Princess to become outraged. So outraged, many ragequit the show.

* ''MonsterHigh"

* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls'': Flash Sentry was hit by loads of fandom flak before he even got a name (even before the movie came out, bringing with it every last ounce of ShipTease you'd expect). Just seeing official artwork of him standing next to Twilight was enough to spark enough shipping rage to last a decade. Hell, just pick out a random piece of fanart of Flash and Twilight on Derpibooru and you're bound to find said rage.

[[/folder]]

** Spitfire is often killed off or made even worse so Rainbow Dash can be with the innocent woobie Soarin. She's often seen as a hellish harpy for daring to get in between Soarin and Rainbow Dash. On the other side of the coin, we have Wonderbolts shippers who absolutely despise Rainbow Dash for getting in the way of Spitfire/Soarin even though it's been clearly said they all think of each other as friends and no romantic feelings are between them (as of this post). And then we also have rabid FlutterCord shippers who want to hunt Tree Hugger down just for the heinous crime of being Fluttershy's "plus one" at the Grand Galloping Gala.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Ben 10}}'': Ben's LoveInterest Julie is not liked by the Kevin/Ben shippers.

* Fans of ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012'' really hate Casey. They didn't even wait for him to make an appearance before bashing him. They started hating him because they were worried that he'd ruin their Apritello pairing. Even though WordOfGod says that Donnie's crush on April is PlayedForLaughs, the fans take the crush ''seriously''.

* ''WesternAnimation/OverTheGardenWall'' has a truly bizarre example with FanPreferredCouple Wirt/Beatrice vs. [[spoiler:MaybeEverAfter couple]] Wirt/Sara. [[spoiler:Because the entire show takes place in a DyingDream and/or afterlife, with Wirt eventually returning to his old life and his schoolboy crush Sara, the fashion is to kill off, not Sara, but Wirt, ensuring him a permanent place in the Unknown and leaving him free to court Beatrice ([[TemporaryLoveInterest or Lorna]]).]] A common AU starting point has Wirt either [[spoiler:make a HeroicSacrifice to save Greg's life]] or [[spoiler:consent to take the Woodsman's place as the Lantern Bearer]].

* ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow'': Margaret and Eileen are hated by the Mordecai/Rigby [[YaoiFangirl Yaoi Fangirls]] (and some Fanboys)

* ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow'': Margaret and Eileen]] are hated by the Mordecai/Rigby [[YaoiFangirl Yaoi Fangirls]] (and some Fanboys)

** Much like Flash Sentry, many fans tend to hate on Soarin/Rainbow Dash for getting in the way of either Soarin/Spitfire or Rainbow Dash/Any Other Pony. Sadly, some of these debates crack out the [[CowboyBebopAtHisComputer age old mistake]] that is "Rainbow Dash is a lesbian because of her rainbows".

** In light of the recent timeskip for Season 2, "Invasion." Every {{Fangirl}} who has shipped Superboy and Miss Martian together are all up in arms over their breakup, and her being with Lagoon Boy. There is so much hate for poor La'gaan that it's starting to turn into [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks hate for the show in general]] as far as they're concerned. Those fans of the show who remember the MST3KMantra have started referring to them as [[FanCommunityNickname "Keezy Fem,"]] a derogatory term in [[WesternAnimation/LegionOfSuperHeroes Interlac]], used InUniverse by Lobo in reference to WonderGirl and ComicBook/{{Batgirl}}, who were in his way on a bounty-hunting job in the first episode of Season 2.

* ''MonsterHigh" Despite the franchise being all about accepting your "freaky flaws" many Frankie/Jackson shippers give a lot of hate towards Neighthan Rot (Frankie's Love interest in the Freaky Fusion movie.) as well as Claire (Jackson's love interest in the Ghouls Rule movie.)

* ''WesternAnimation/WinxClub'': Aisha/Nabu fans HATE Roy. Especially now that it seems the writers are making him her new love interest.
