I am referring to the character from Naruto. Hating on Naruto seems to be kind of a thing around here lately and let me say that I fully, fully admit that Naruto went downhill for reasons other than Hinata, but let me just talk about this girl real quick.
When I was in the Naruto fandom, I found that you shouldn't talk about her very much because for some reason, Hinata has a very vocal fandom who creams themselves over whenever she appeared (and somebody calculated, in a 700 chapter series, she was in LESS than 100 chapters, that's not even 10%!) I remember going on TV Tropes after the stupid Moon Eye's Plan was occurred and somebody wrote "Hinata is the first one resisting the genjutsu" and I was like "......what? What proof do you have of that." Not to mention, the utter hate Sakura got by Hinata fans was absolutely ridiculous. "Oh, Hinata is so much better than that BITCH Sakura." Now, let me be clear, Sakura has her own problems, namely her STUPID obsession with a man who tried to murder her, but that's been talked about to death, Hinata is not so different with her obsession with Naruto, who honestly seems to forget that Hinata exists for the majority of the time largely because he's way too busy thinking about his true soulmate, Sasuke, but that's beside the point. In the war arc literally all Hinata does is stand there and say "Naruto-kun!" "Naruto-kun!" "Oh, Naruto-kun! Please love me! Hold my hand!" In fact, I'll compare some feats between Sakura and Hinata off the top of my head:
Sakura:
Saved Kankuro's life
Defeated Sasori
Saved the lives of villagers during Pain's attack
Spread information about key attacks during the war
Saved Naruto's life while he was dying
Saved Sasuke from the other dimension with Obito
Delivered the punch that allowed Kaguya to be sealed
Hinata:
Uh..... uh..... I can't think of anything. Some point to her charging at Pain, but Kishimoto said she was suicidal in that moment, the anime expanded this but in the manga, it was literally just proof that the Power of Love has nothing on the Power to repel gravity. I digress. Or the fact that people seem to love Hinata more than Sakura because Hinata has the bigger boobs which is really shallow. (or not anymore thanks to the Boruto manga which Hinata fans whined like crazy about)
Speaking of, I think a large reason as to why so many people like her so much is because Studio Pierrot who animated Naruto have a rather unhealthy obsession with her. (Or at least a significant portion of them do) She's always getting the best animation, literally the Pain's arc entire budget went to HER moment, not Naruto's. The Last film literally EXISTS because Studio Pierrot decided "We have some Hinata fetishes we want to do! Let's do them!" and Kishimoto just probably went "Uh.... well, I mean, I never really did anything with her but...." "Great! You love it already!" In fact, Kishimoto has often expressed sheer CONFUSION over why she's so popular. Now, did that have a factor into why she ended up with Naruto instead of Sakura? Who knows? Sometimes, it SEEMS like that's how it was, I know what Kishimoto has said that "Oh, I planned it from the beginning. No, the middle. I didn't plan this." so he constantly contradicts himself when it comes to this. One interview he completely shitted on Hinata when somebody told him he liked her, Kishimoto said "Ah. You like big breasted girls." I would criticize for being sexist here, but sadly, he's not WRONG to think that as I already pointed.
...the sad thing is, Hinata honestly had potential like a lot of other things in Naruto, but that potential was squandered, she could've become a co-leader of the Hyuuga clan with Neji showing that the Main and Side Branches can exist in peace instead of showing the Hyuuga clan did not change for the better by killing Neji off anyway. But as she ended up, she ultimately finished as a character who pretty much exists to be Naruto's vaguely defined love interest and as a fetish doll for Studio Pierrot to use as they see fit. Sad really.
