Fujos are the forever living proof that the worst part of any fandom is the women.
If not for them, we wouldn't need the Sasuke archetype in every single series being the most insufferable character possible. But he ranks high on polls because he makes gineys tingle so he never going to see consequences or change.
Its weird. Girls tend to like the most toxic of characters.. girls like harley quinn for example. Crazy bitch.
Girls didn't like Harley until they were told to like Harley. Pre-Suicide Squad she was almost entire a "fanservice for dudes" character. Then she got a bit of mainstream attention, so now she was a cosplay option for sluts and let them pretend being crazy is part of a "character" men like. The same way her and Ivy being gay used to be "hot lesbian subtext" until they were told it was Super Progressive, and now they are iconic LGBT icons.
But in terms of male characters yeah, they always go for the most toxic ones.
Even then, I think most people thought Sasuke was fine until they did the whole revolution shit post-4th War, which I personally didn't mind, but I'm the type of person who thinks that there should've been more people who found out the true fate of the Uchiha clan.
I disliked him from episode one. He didn't get enough time getting his smugness beat down to justify his defection, and not enough on screen showing any "good parts" of his personality to care when he did.
So the fact that the majority of the story revolved around him, his family, and attempting his "redemption" drug it down.
Even Toriyama figured it out, where most of DBZ is Vegeta getting literally shit on over and over until it feels like he has paid for his sins, making his defection seem justified, and a gradual increase in showing his personality having good parts to it, mostly revolving around his family.
Seriously. One of my favorite Shonens Seraph of the End has the vast majority of its fan base trying to ship to the 2 main dudes and are convinced they’re gay for each other despite the author being like. Haha not really
I've found turbo autists that identify with the Sasuke-archetype rival and constantly post cuck porn of them fucking the main character's love interest to be a close second.
