History DieForOurShip / WesternAnimation

** 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 could be interpreted as [[WeUsedToBeFriends a friendship gone sour]] just as much as a relationship gone bad.

** The fact that ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory4'' ends with [[spoiler: Woody leaving the otherrs to be with Bo Peep]] has only made the hatred worse in some corners.

* 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.

** Sierra gets crucified for her massive crush on Cody, due partly to having [[StalkerWithACrush other undesirable traits]] and being [[TheScrappy poorly received in general]]. This was foreshadowed, in a way, when Beth kissed Cody on the cheek as he was voted off in Season 1 and got pilloried for it. Few people like Beth/Cody.
** Alejandro gets quite a lot of hate from Harold/Leshawna, Geoff/Bridgette and Tyler/Lindsay shippers, and anybody who ships Heather with anybody else. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] with [[OfficialCouple everyone but Heather]], because he never had any interest in those other girls and was merely toying with them for his own villainous purposes.
** Owen's [[{{Hatedom}} dislike-dom]] largely overlaps with those who pair Izzy with anyone else. It doesn't help that he once had a WhatTheHellHero moment when he pushed her in front of a serial killer to save his own life. The Owen-hate died down after Owen and Izzy's breakup on the show left shippers free to pair off Izzy without impediment.
** Geoff is an unusual example. Season 2 turned him into a massive JerkAss and nearly broke him and Bridgette up, but he [[HeelFaceTurn regained his moral compass]] by the end of the season and won her back. Shippers who want to pair Bridgette with somebody else sometimes use Geoff's Jerkass period as an excuse to create an AU where he remains a jerk.
** There are many reasons for ''Total Drama'' fans to hate [[AlphaBitch Heather]]. One of these is that she's seen as a threat to the semi-canonical Harold/Leshawna ship.
** [[LovableJock Tyler]] is the butt of many Trent/[[DumbBlonde Lindsay]] jokes.
** When the people who ship Dave with someone else found out that Sky [[spoiler:has a boyfriend back home,]] they hated her even more.

* ''WesternAnimation/WildKratts'': Youtube was the real warzone for a while, until one user put their foot down and put a stop to the bashing. It then moved to Fanfiction, up until yet another user put their foot down. The VocalMinority were basically terrorists, [[FanDumb claiming]] that the show has evidence (which was parodied in another Youtube video, which has just as much "evidence" as [[OneTruePairing Martin/Aviva]]). And Chris, who did nothing wrong, was [[DroppedABridgeOnHim victimized]], all for being Martin's brother. The only way to stop it is to fight fire with fire. The VocalMinority count is set to 4 total- that person created approximately 20 sockpuppets.

** 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]].

** It should be noted that after a decade, however, the whole ShipToShipCombat in the fandom has died down a lot; the old fans have gotten over it and many of the newer ones went into the series knowing what was going to happen. These days, Tom-bashing is more a tongue-in-cheek joke than anything, and Daria/Trent, while still popular, is often seen as kind of cliché.

** Kim suffers from this in [[PortmanteauCoupleName Rongo]] stories that pair him with Shego. Often, Kim is transformed into a demanding, jealous bitch who treats Ron like dirt. One wallbanging fic had her [[EmoTeen slash her wrists]] after the pair were married.
** Ron is {{Flanderization sometimes portrayed}} 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.

** A good portion of Kim/Shego 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.
** Kigo writers have a habit of taking Drakken to one of two extremes to get him out of the picture. One has him be a bigoted {{Jerkass}} who can't stand to see Shego with anyone else (especially not a woman); the other has him be a worthless loser who couldn't tie his shoes without Shego and is holding her back from being successful.

** Ron is sometimes portrayed 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. To the point that one infamous fanfic had that "another" be ''Kim's own mother.''

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. There's also the "Ron was just a rebound" plot device, which can go two ways. On one hand, it can be used against Ron so Kim can dump him for someone else the shipper prefers her with. On the other, it could be used to make Kim look like a bitch so Ron can run into the arms of another who presumably ISN'T a rebound for comfort. To the point that one infamous fanfic had that "another" be ''Kim's own mother.''

** William was ''utterly'' despised by some fans for getting in the way of Ulrich and Yumi's relationship ([[WillTheyOrWontThey not that]] [[UnresolvedSexualTension they]] [[TwiceShy needed]] [[CannotSpitItOut the help]]). A few defected after Season 4, but he is still largely a disliked character. Even many people who don't like shipping weren't high on William for this reason, as they felt Ulrich and Yumi's relationship was already a convoluted RomanticPlotTumor that William's inclusion only made even more complicated. Some fanfics ([[https://m.fanfiction.net/s/12151878/1/Lyoko-warrior-from-the-future such as this one]]) go as far as to portray him as a CompleteMonster and a {{Yandere}} [[StalkerWithACrush obsessed with Yumi]].

** After ''Lightspeed'' premiered, the love for the Kid Flash/Jinx pairing that emerged from that episode and eventually became an OfficialCouple was almost unanimous; however, there were some that preferred the Cyborg/Jinx pairing that was teased several times throughout the series, most prominently in ''Deception'', and thus thrust their hatred onto Kid Flash; for example, many post-''Lightspeed'' Cyborg/Jinx fics portray Kid Flash as someone who cheated on Jinx after they started dating. Some Kid Flash/Jinx shippers also hate Cyborg as a result.

** Ron is sometimes portrayed 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. There's also the "Ron was just a rebound" plot device, which can go two ways. On one hand, it can be used against Ron so Kim can dump him for someone else the shipper prefers her with. On the other, it could be used to make Kim look like a bitch so Ron can run into the arms of another ([[{{Irony}} who presumably ISN'T a rebound]]) for comfort. To the point that one infamous fanfic had that "another" be ''Kim's own mother.''

** 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.

* ''WesternAnimation/VoltronLegendaryDefender'': Some Shiro/Keith shippers depict Lance as a lecherous pervert desperate to have sex with Keith solely [[EvilIsPetty to keep him from away from Shiro.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Transformers}}'' fans are often the ''embodiment'' of this trope, with Prowl/Jazz frequently serving as the poster child.

** The treatment that Jérémie gets from a lot of Odd×Aelita supporters in fanfiction. Good luck finding Oddlita fanfiction that doesn't feature Jérémie as physically, verbally, emotionally, or sexually abusive towards Aelita. At best he's retroactively revealed to have been [[Brainwash possessed by XANA]] [[EvilAllAlong the entire time]], or [[PosthumousCharacter dead before the story starts]].

* Many shippers of the Jake/Rose relationship in ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDragonJakeLong'' became irate when Jake flirted with Dannika Hunicutt 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. Oddly, the ''actual'' siren who brainwashed Jake into loving her is an EnsembleDarkhorse (probably [[BrainwashedAndCrazy because brainwashing]] doesn't ''[[CaptainObvious quite]]'' [[CaptainObvious count as actual romantic feelings,]] and she was only in one episode).
