Sakura gets reduced to “girl who rejected the MC for the rival” despite having the most development, complex conflicting emotions,agency, independent goals, moral stance, good dialogues, emotional range, themes/parallels. The writing is there.The fan labour just never matched it.
can we have a honest conversation about female character being dismissed as poorly written only cause they don’t get the luxury of the fanbase engaging with her writing whilst the “well written” male ones are held up by popular headcanons/fanfics
