Deleted Seiya-bashing rant that is itself an example of this trope
Deleted line(s) 19 (click to see context) :
*** It's not exactly helped by the fact, that Seiya continually insults Mamoru and even goes out of their way to imply Mamoru is deliberately ignoring Usagi and that he no longer loves her, allows rumors to be spread that they and Usagi are dating and when Usagi tells them to stop the rumors they try to make her into the bad guy by asking why she's breaking up with them when they were never dating in the first place, and even goes as far as peer pressuring Usagi into a softball game held by the school bully and president of their fan club to prove her "affections" for them when she has already told them numerous times that she already has a boyfriend she loves.

* Mamoru Chiba/Tuxedo Kamen/Prince Endymion of ''Franchise/SailorMoon'' is ''definitely'' up to his neck in this trope. The guy is consistently portrayed throughout every incarnation of the Sailor Moon franchise as [[OfficialCouple Usagi's love interest]], but TheNineties final [[Anime/SailorMoon anime]] series, ''Sailor Stars'', introduced Seiya Kou as a surrogate love interest while Mamoru was absent and fans, seeing a het-ish alternative to Mamoru ("ish" because Seiya is a GenderBender in the anime and a SweetPollyOliver in the [[Manga/SailorMoon manga]]), proceeded to take this opportunity to express their anger at Mamoru. Said anger stems mostly from a plot arc in the ''R'' season, where Mamoru [[ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies broke up with Usagi]] after receiving disturbing dreams that their relationship would lead to TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt. It really didn't help that the whole arc reeked of IdiotPlot in general and the entire situation came off as very contrived and [[{{Narm}} melodramatic]], not to mention being [[ArcFatigue incredibly dragged out]]. It also didn't do any favors for Mamoru's character either, as his repeated attempts to push Usagi away came across as [[{{Jerkass}} cruel]], even though he did have good intentions. But what people tend to forget though is that after that issue was finally resolved, Usagi ''did'' forgive Mamoru and he generally went back to being a serious and overall devoted and well-meaning boyfriend. But NeverLiveItDown is in full effect here, as some Seiya/Usagi shippers will practically [[RonTheDeathEater bend over backwards]] to color Mamoru up as this heartless asshole who ''hates'' her.
