History UnintentionallyUnsympathetic / FanWorks

* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9166728/1/Purple-Jealousy Purple Jealousy]]'': We're meant to root for Raven and hope that she gets with Beast Boy. However, between Raven's irrational jealousy of Beast Boy's new girlfriend and her controlling, downright abusive attitude, it's hard to really feel for her. During one chapter where she questions and criticizes Beast Boy for finding his new significant other, she berates him and insults his choice in women; when he retorts that she too once fell in love with someone who manipulated her, Raven [[{{Hypocrite}} acts shocked and hurt]] and we're meant to be on her side, despite the fact that she instigated the entire confrontation. Raven comes across as more of a SpoiledBrat who is upset because her LoveInterest doesn't bow to her every whim. It's a story where you actually [[UnintentionallySympathetic feel more inclined]] toward the RomanticFalseLead.

* ''Fanfic/TheAssassinationOfTwilightSparkle'' had Princess Luna learn of the assassination plot, but fails to stop it due to TheMole she planted being ousted. She then takes revenge against [[TheManBehindTheMan the mastermind behind it]] by [[DreamWeaver giving them nightmares]] until it destroyed their sanity, [[TragicMistake unaware of how it would lead his daughter to become a more dangerous villain]]. But despite this willingness to act, Luna never does more to stop the plot or even warn Twilight or the others about it. When she does act, her unwillingness to straight-up kill allowed him to corrupt their daughter, making it obvious Luna's impulsive act of revenge would do more harm than good. When the author [[https://www.fimfiction.net/blog/860419/looking-back-at-assassinationverse-warning-spoilers-for-those-who-have-not-read-the-series looked back on the series]], he admitted Luna's handling was a mistake.

* ''Fragments'' tries to be a FixFic for the Tenth Doctor's regeneration. Here 10 comes across as incredibly selfish, hating 11 just for being the next Doctor and wishing he could die so he was the last. And for this he gets Rose. [[KarmaHoudini Karma Houdinis]] together.

UnintentionallyUnsympathetic in FanWorks.

** The 12th century English peasant named Willelmus was intended to be seen as a hero for giving humanity the keys to the salvation, but readers came to saw him as a selfish man selling out humanity for his own salvation.

* ''FanFic/TowardsTheSun'': While the author tries to explain why Katara is more hostile to Zuko than anyone else is, she's still considerably more antagonistic than the rest of the Gaang. While Toph is friendly, Aang is naive and idealistic, and Sokka is mostly being tripped up by the CultureClash, Katara takes everything Zuko does as a personal slight against her and finds fault with everything he does, including not wanting his crazed warmonger of a father released from prison. When Zuko is actively dying of a heart attack, Katara refuses to heal him, going so far as to freeze herself to the ground when Toph tries to force her. The biggest sticking point is that the author goes into detail about Katara's sense of hopelessness trying to heal Aang, who was nearly killed by Azula, and, without Zuko joining the Gaang and bonding with her, her feelings of bitterness over Zuko helping Azula in Ba Sing Se increase.

* ''FanFic/MyImmortal'':

* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12598315/1/Secret-Love Secret Love]]'' has Ducky and Petrie fall in love and have to keep up the secret, eventually learned by their friends, their mothers, and Littlefoot's grandparents. The fic tries to show Ducky and Petrie as being victims of prejudice (which is brought up quite a bit in the story), but those who do protect them are bound to be very angry with those who don't tolerate them (such as Mr. Threehorn, who got a RonTheDeathEater treatment and got turned into an intolerant interspecies-hating jerk). There's also a chapter when Hyp's father is chewing out Hyp for being a bully, but he seems [[SkewedPriorities more angry that his son is against Petrie and Ducky's secret relationship]] than he is about Hyp swatting Ducky into a tar pit.

* ''FanFic/TheAssassinationOfTwilightSparkle'' had Princess Luna learn of the assassination plot, but fails to stop it due to TheMole she planted being ousted. She then takes revenge against [[TheManBehindTheMan the mastermind behind it]] by [[DreamWeaver giving them nightmares]] until it destroyed their sanity, [[TragicMistake unaware of how it would lead his daughter to become a more dangerous villain]]. But despite this willingness to act, Luna never does more to stop the plot or even warn Twilight or the others about it. When she does act, her unwillingness to straight-up kill allowed him to corrupt their daughter, making it obvious Luna's impulsive act of revenge would do more harm than good. When the author [[https://www.fimfiction.net/blog/860419/looking-back-at-assassinationverse-warning-spoilers-for-those-who-have-not-read-the-series looked back on the series]], he admitted Luna's handling was a mistake.

** ''FanFic/TheBeastOfBeacon'':

** ''FanFic/ForgedDestiny'': Blake is considered to be this to a fair degree. Books 1 through 4 helped to establish a lot of sympathy for her and implied an interesting and complex past for her while still highlighting her genuine strengths and capacity to be a great teammate, friend, and lover. However from Book 5 onwards, she's begun to be stripped of a lot of the positive elements, and poor handling of her character results in her being seen as a self-righteous hypocrite who seems to expect others (Jaune especially) to treat her secrets with gentle hands, while she oftentimes is shown to have a disturbing lack of sympathy or understanding for others' issues or secrets (again, with Jaune). While the author has gone out of his way to try to establish her reasons for doing so (some more reasonable than others), the questionable logic and reasoning combined with a lackluster showing in the story, Jaune's sometimes excessive self-deprecation mixed with borderline Character Shilling of Blake's character have arguably only made her seem even more insufferable as a character.

** ''FanFic/RelicoftheFuture'':

* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4854138/1/After-the-Metarex-Tails-Story After]][[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5302733/1/After-the-Metarex-Tails-and-Cosmo-s-Story The Metarex]]'': While the readers are meant to see Amadeus and Rosemary Prower as well-meaning yet strict parents, instead they come off as stuck up and hypocritical [=SJWs=], especially Rosemary considering that she behaves nastily towards Sonic just because he tries to get Tails to help him fight with Eggman and hating Knuckles and Amy just because they have anger problems and not trying to see that they are [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold good people at heart.]] While her forbeying Cosmo from dating Tails was meant to be seen as JerkassHasAPoint given that Cosmo couldn't prove that she had returned from the dead, it instead comes off as [[FantasticRacism racist]] considering that one of her reasons was because she was an alien.

* In the original version of ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12879916/28/The-Longest-Road The Longest Road]]'', the author clearly intends for the readers to side with Ash in regards to him being banned from Erika's Gym for not liking her perfume. Unfortunately, the fact that he gets her ousted from her job for being a ''lesbian'' (for some reason, the story reveals that LGBT members ''cannot'' be trainers, let alone Gym Leaders), makes him come across as just as bad if not worse than Erika. It doesn't help that as soon as everything is said and done, he's all cheerful and ready to go to his next stop like it's just everyday business, and [[ProtagonistCenteredMorality without a care]] that the rest of the Gym's staff might find themselves out of a job. [[AuthorsSavingThrow The writer of the story later rewrote the chapter to exclude that portion]]. Instead, Erika's just a jerk who gets in trouble for denying Ash a battle simply due to his hatred of perfume.
** From the same author, in ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13422981/1/ Broken Legs, Unbroken Love]]'', as a reviewer points out, Misty fails to gain empathetic reactions from her situation (having both legs broken), other than some faint sympathy you'd have for someone you don't know being in a similar situation. It straddles the line between AngstWhatAngst and {{Wangst}}, given that the author doesn't specify exactly how grave Misty's injuries are (nor how she sustained them, for that matter), other than saying she'd take a full year to recover, so it's hard to tell whether it's a MajorInjuryUnderreaction or a MinorInjuryOverreaction.
** Chapter 25 of ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13438258/25/ 151 Pokeshipping Stories]]'' has a flashback of the death of Misty's mother. The thing is supposed to play out as a tragedy and the reason why Mother's Day isn't a happy day for Misty. Problem is, it's too rushed and happens so brusquely, it fails to sink in. Not to mention that Misty's mother (who is supposedly a Water Pokémon expert, by the way) ended up killed was because she didn't keep a hold on her daughter, or better, get away from there ASAP when there was a ''freaking'' Gyarados sleeping on the shore, which borders on TooDumbToLive.

** While Chloe's reasons for not expressing her own interests and hobbies are understandable and sympathetic -- namely that she was [[AllOfTheOtherReindeer bullied for her differences]] -- the fact that she stonewalled efforts to get to know her better makes her subsequent complaints that nobody ever bothered to ''try'' seem somewhat self-defeating. It is very easy to see her as being at fault for several key aspects of the [[PoorCommunicationKills poor communication]] that drives the story. Initially, the narrative is heavily slanted in her favor, defending her anger at Goh, Ash, her father and others even when she's clearly in the wrong. This eventually leads into the series [[DeconstructionFic heavily deconstructing]] the very concept of an AccusationFic, delving into the {{Double Standard}}s on all sides.

** Mallow's supposed to be a sympathetic character whose snapping at her friends for not taking Gladion's disappearance seriously is meant to be cathartic. Problem is, she kept the existence of the Train a secret for what turned out to be a ''complete misunderstanding on her part'', making her plight come off more as something she brought upon herself.

* ''Fanfic/ToukenDanshiAndTheOrderOfThePhoenix'': Harry and the ''VideoGame/ToukenRanbu'' cast are supposed to be seen as cool, confident and assertive, but in practice they are snobbish (openly look down on and insult Hogwarts and wizarding Britain), entitled (verbally attack and threaten Dumbledore into allowing preferential treatment for Harry), myopic (given that Harry is a prince of Japan, they never consider how their actions can affect foreign relations), annoying (assert their Japanese identity in tasteless ways, which include GratuitousJapanese towards people who don't speak the language) and violent (the swords often assault the British for the slightest perceived slights).

** Prince Zuko, upon finding out that Mai hid his letters to Katara, hits her, divorces her and runs off to go to Katara. He's meant to be motivated by love and reacting to Mai's betrayal, but he comes off as an abusive husband and irresponsible ruler.

* ''FanFic/TowardsTheSun'': While the author notes try to explain why Katara is more hostile to Zuko than anyone else is, she's still considerably more antagonistic than the rest of the Gaang. While Toph is friendly, Aang is naive and idealistic, and Sokka is mostly being tripped up by the CultureClash, Katara takes everything Zuko does as a personal slight against her and finds fault with everything he does, including not wanting his crazed warmonger of a father released from prison. When Zuko is actively dying of a heart attack, Katara refuses to heal him, going so far as to freeze herself to the ground when Toph tries to force her. The biggest sticking point is that the author goes into detail about Katara's sense of hopelessness trying to heal Aang who was nearly killed by Azula and, without Zuko joining the Gaang and bond with her, her feelings of bitterness over Zuko helping Azula in Ba Sing Se increase.

** Kazuha got hit with this particularly hard in chapter 11. While Aoko, Hattori, Ran, and Hakuba each have their own developed emotional hardships and consequences, [[BrokenBase debatably sympathetic though they are]], Kazuha has only had one big character moment so far, and it's not a pleasant one. Due to her past with Hattori and his secrets, she is the Irregular with the most similarities between her relationship with Hattori and Shinichi's relationship with Ran, so she feels she has the right to judge Shinichi[[spoiler:'s reaction to learning Ran's secrets. In her one perspective scene, she responds to Shinichi dumping Ran by declaring that she is "going to kill someone" and that she'll make Shinichi wish he was never born, before writing off Shinichi's abuse pejoratively as "daddy issues" and trying to comfort Ran by saying that Shinichi will "get over it." It's worth noting that, in this moment, Kazuha is also simultaneously reacting to the emotional strain of an extremely dire and stressful primary conflict and thus was probably not thinking straight.]] WordOfGod has said this reader reaction in particular is one of the ones that really took them by surprise, because [[spoiler:badmouthing a friend's ex after said friend is dumped in order to comfort said friend is a pretty normal thing that the writer themself has experienced. Unfortunately, the context of the breakup means the scene reads like Kazuha's enabling Ran's terrible treatment of her now-ex boyfriend and, worse, blaming the victim, which instead made Kazuha's only stand out scene in Part 1 come off as a serious KickTheDog moment.]]

** According to the author, you are supposed to ''like'' Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way. For those who don't know, Ebony is every negative stereotype about [[SubcultureOfTheWeek goths]] made manifest, in the vessel of a self-centered sociopath. Of course, it could be INTENTIONALLY Unsympathetic if one subscribes to the theory that it's a TrollFic instead of just really bad writing.

*** Likewise is her reasons for ''becoming'' a sex worker. [[spoiler:She says she became one as a way of sticking it to the people watching her and waiting for her to degrade herself, a means of demonstrating they had no hold on her.]] Many have called out these reasons as flimsy ''at best'', and that regardless of her reasons, it doesn't change the fact she ''also'' abandoned Issei in order to pursue her own issues. She even notes that she could have easily stuck by Issei and let him help her instead of doing any of this, but asked him ''not'' to just so she could do this instead, and just for him to trust her, making it sound like she's angry at being in a position that she ''put herself in''.

* ''Fanfic/LincolnIsDone'': We're supposed to feel sorry for Lincoln being supposedly unloved by his family. But it's hard when he beat up his remorseful little sister twice.

* In ''Substitute Roommate'' (now taken down, but covered in the second episode of ''Fanfic/PeekingThroughTheFourthWall''), Luna is meant to be seen as sympathetic, since she's lonely. However, she belts her brother Lincoln and forces him to play music which he doesn't like, just because she misses Luan who's away at camp, making her hard to sympathise with.

** Marinette also comes across unsympathetic. She spent years refusing to open up to anyone about her problems, despite Tikki encouraging her to unmask herself if it would help and despite Alya, her parents and others being openly worried about her, and it seems that she never went to any effort to track down Chat Noir beyond sitting at their meeting place - if Ladybug had spoken to the Ladyblog about his disappearance, Adrien at least wouldn't have been able to fool himself about what she was crying about. Her excuse for this is that to unmask to anyone before Chat Noir would have felt like she was betraying him, but she continues to do this even after finding out he was Adrien (and had effectively betrayed her first), choosing to leave town rather than seek help from Alya or her parents (which gets her into the aforementioned car crash). What's more, after the rescue and her reconciliation with Adrien, she lies to them about the cause of her depression and why she walked out on Adrien, and there's little indication that she's planning to reveal to them despite the story having progressed two years since this scene. [[spoiler:Eventually Alya finds out herself but doesn't tell them, for some reason feeling guilty about not being there for her even though she had clearly ''tried'' to be.]]

* ''Fanfic/FrigidWindsAndBurningHearts'' claims to be even-handed when it comes to Princess Luna vs. Princess Celestia, but swiftly comes down on Luna's side. Even as it is revealed she was perfectly willing to have all of Equestria collapse into riots and civil war if it meant she could leave. Even as she bullies, lies, and manipulates every other pony she meets to have her way.

* ''Fanfic/{{Eroninja}}'': Suzume is meant to be a SympatheticInspectorAntagonist who is opposing Naruto because she doesn't realize he's a good person and because the ancient order she belongs to is too indiscriminate. Suzume believes Naruto is a "Corrupter" (that is, someone using the Temptation's Touch Jutsu) and is raping women to build himself a harem. Her logic amounts to "[[RightForTheWrongReasons Naruto seems popular with women but also has a girlfriend, therefore he must be a Corrupter]]," but her investigation goes nowhere no matter what she does. Even her attempt to (fake) drunkenly seduce him fails with the young man seeming more mortified than she is. So her solution is to encourage her barely legal student Moegi to act on her longtime crush for Naruto. At best, Suzume is setting her up for failure since she knows for a fact Naruto is in a relationship already. At worst, she's presenting a serial rapist with a brand new victim who will be his eager slave even after he's killed ''or'' Moegi will sell her out and they'll both be the willing slaves of a serial rapist. Even her preferred outcome amounts to her student being almost or actually raped but Suzume killing Naruto and saving his victims. Not helping matters is that Suzume admits she doesn't actually think Naruto is a Corrupter and she might be jumping at shadows[[note]]Neither she nor her teacher or her teacher's teacher, etc. have seen a single Corrupter in well over a century so they have almost no concrete ways to be certain beyond seeing someone use the Temptation's Touch[[/note]] but she's willing to go through with it anyway even though her only "proof" is that several of Naruto's many friends are women. To make matters worse, [[{{Hypocrite}} the order's training method amounts to an older woman taking a barely teenage girl as her sex slave in order to "train her to resist a Corrupter"]]. Suzume comes across as HeWhoFightsMonsters at best and KnightTemplar at worst.

** Hinata's shyness is turned up to eleven, to the point she can barely keep from fainting around an ''illusion'' of Naruto that doesn't speak. Months of exposure therapy sees very little progress on her end, causing many fans to lose interest and wish the author would just get on with it already. It takes Hinata learning she's probably already lost her chance [[spoiler: due to multiple women already being in romantic and sexual relationships with Naruto]] for her to actually talk to him about her feelings.
** Chapter 38 had some fans feeling Kurenai lost a lot of sympathy regarding her relationship with Naruto due to her being manipulative and openly controlling about who Naruto marries. Despite knowing for a fact that Naruto had been in a sexual (and later romantic) relationship with Ino even longer than she had, Kurenai only intended to tell Ino if Hinata decided not to marry him. Furthermore, Kurenai acts like it's a given that she'll be marrying Naruto and that she "can accept" him marrying other women. By contrast, Ino has long since come to the conclusion that she actually ''wants'' Naruto to marry her and Sakura.

* In the original version of ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12879916/28/The-Longest-Road The Longest Road]]'', the author clearly intends for the readers to side with Ash in regards to him being banned from Erika's Gym for not liking her perfume. Unfortunately, the fact that he gets her ousted from her job for being a ''lesbian'' (for some reason, the story reveals that LGBT members ''cannot'' be trainers, let alone Gym Leaders), makes him come across as just as bad if not worse than Erika. Doesn't help that as soon as everything is said and done, he's all cheerful and ready to go to his next stop, like it's just everyday business, and [[ProtagonistCenteredMorality without a care]] that the rest of the Gym's staff might find themselves out of a job. [[AuthorsSavingThrow The writer of the story later rewrote the chapter to exclude that portion]]. Instead, Erika's just a jerk who gets in trouble for denying Ash a battle simply due to his hatred of perfume.

* ''VideoGame/PokemonZetaAndOmicron'' has an interesting case of this with [[spoiler:Zeta[=/=]Omicron, your EvilTwin who corrupted and stole the signature [[OlympusMons Legendary]] Pokemon of Gold, the protagonist of ''VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver'', resulting in him becoming a FallenHero in an effort to get it back. They are clearly not supposed to be a sympathetic character, as they smugly rub their theft in Gold's face, show little concern when you snag said signature Pokemon from them, and acted out said theft (which ultimately resulted in every bad thing that happens in the game) [[EvilIsPetty solely so they could be the owner of every Pokemon in the world]]; despite this, it's clear that the creator intended for them to have a biting NotSoDifferentRemark[=/=]WhatTheHellPlayer moment, when ([[TimeyWimeyBall after going back in time and witnessing them stealing said Pokemon]]) they tell you that you're no different since you snag every Shadow Pokemon you find (including [[VideoGame/PokemonRubyAndSapphire Brendan's]] Rayquaza, which indirectly causes his death), capture every OlympusMons you can, and never care to think of the consequences, before leaving [[KarmaHoudini without any consequence for her actions]]. The problem (aside from them being a massive {{Hypocrite}} with a super-flimsy AtLeastIAdmitIt justification) is that ''the circumstances are almost entirely different'': the player was [[{{Railroading}} railroaded]] into snagging Brendan's Rayquaza (and on the Heroic Route, you're doing it to stop a much larger threat), and have been snagging Shadow Pokemon to free them from their Shadow state (including the aforementioned Rayquaza); Zeta[=/=]Omicron ''deliberately'' transformed Gold's signature Pokemon into Shadow Pokemon for ''entirely'' selfish reasons, and has made absolutely no efforts to purify it (thus causing it to suffer, as Shadow Pokemon are TheHeartless). Because of all this, Zeta[=/=]Omicron come across not as [[VillainHasAPoint an unrepentant monster who nonetheless raises some serious moral questions]], but an unrepentant monster whose actions are made even worse by her almost [[TheSociopath sociopathic]] lack of self-awareness.]]

*** Tsune's argument invoking HeWhoFightsMonsters on the now-disgraced Team CRMN comes off as this to a significant number of readers. They note how Adam literally had no other option to stop their bullying without making an example of them in a strong way that would discourage such behavior such as what Adam did during the match. This is because while Coeur attempts to invoke a GrayAndGrayMorality in the fic itself, moments, where Adam would literally be in the wrong during his time in Beacon before Chapter 11, were sparse and few in between.
*** Blake is seen like this by many readers by chapter 13 for her lack of understanding as to how Adam is slowly changing throughout the story. This is taken even further in chapter 17 when she displays a NeverMyFault attitude when she leaks an edited video of Adam and Yang fighting that leads to Adam getting beaten by racist students in the cafeteria.

* ''VideoGame/PokemonZetaAndOmicron'' has an interesting case of this with [[spoiler:Zeta[=/=]Omicron, your EvilTwin who corrupted and stole the signature [[OlympusMons Legendary]] Pokemon of Gold, the protagonist of ''VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver'', resulting in him becoming a FallenHero in an effort to get it back. They are clearly not supposed to be a sympathetic character, as they smugly rub their theft in Gold's face, show little concern when you snag said signature Pokemon from them, and acted out said theft ([[ForWantOfANail which ultimately resulted in every bad thing that happens in the game]]) [[EvilIsPetty solely so they could be the owner of every Pokemon in the world]]; despite this, it's clear that the creator intended for them to have a biting NotSoDifferentRemark[=/=]WhatTheHellPlayer moment, when ([[TimeyWimeyBall after going back in time and witnessing them stealing said Pokemon]]) they tell you that you're no different since you snag every Shadow Pokemon you find (including [[VideoGame/PokemonRubyAndSapphire Brendan's]] Rayquaza, which indirectly causes his death), capture every OlympusMons you can, and never care to think of the consequences, before leaving [[KarmaHoudini without any consequence for her actions]].

For those who don't know, Ebony is every negative stereotype about [[SubcultureOfTheWeek goths]] made manifest, in the vessel of a self-centered sociopath. Of course, it could be INTENTIONALLY Unsympathetic if one subscribes to the theory that it's a TrollFic instead of just really bad writing.

* ''Fanfic/StoriesAndTalesFromDimension63'': Linka ([[spoiler: as in, Lincoln's female counterpart]]), who, after [[spoiler: becoming stuck in Lincoln's body]], proceeded to ''turn his life upside down, without his permission'', and worst of all, shows '''no''' desire to go back home. It can be hard to feel sympathetic towards her with what's implied in the backstory when her reaction is to do... ''This''.

[[AC:''Franchise/TeenTitans'']]

* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9976928/9/The-Bloody-Ashikabi The Bloody Ashikabi]]'' tries to make Lily and James Potter out to be sympathetic in their introduction by revealing that [[DaddyHadAGoodReasonForAbandoningYou they had Harry sent away to protect him from Death Eaters wanting to avenge Voldemort's death]]. The problem is that not only did they never BOTHER checking up on Harry or see where Dumbledore left him (which should have ''clearly'' been their first priority to begin with), some reviewers pointed out that they had ''more'' children, making their point about Death Eater attacks void, as they are just putting more kids in danger. Not only does it fail to present them as ParentsAsPeople, but it makes them borderline incompetent. [[WhatTheHellHero Their anger at Dumbledore]] should have made them out to be MamaBear and PapaWolf respectably, but again, they never bothered checking to see if Harry was safe to begin with, meaning they had no right to be angry at the old man when they acted no better.
