Id like to add about Orihime specifically that she was a much better developed character then Hinata, She had actual plot points away from Ichigo, her entire existence does not revolve around ichigo. and her removal from the story would cause some plot holes,
I can say I would have preferred Rukia and Ichigo as a couple but I can as a reader see where Ichigo and Orihime had actual relationship development and where their relationship took solid progressive steps forward throughout the story and wasnt just dropped on peoples heads out of nowhere
She was much better developed. Essentially, she is what Hinata could have been in the Naruto story, but yet...Orihime is HATED by the Bleach community while Hinata is loved.
Every time I see posts about Bleach they all say "OMG, Orihime is so useless. All she is is boobs and a damsel," but Hinata is loved.
That's why I can't get my head around it.
Why do people love Hinata so much? Whatever reason people give, it is never consistent when compared to how they feel to similar characters.
"They love Hinata because she has big boobs," but they hate Orihime because she is big boobs.
"They love Hinata because she was loyal to Naruto," but they hate the fact that Orihime loves Ichigo since the beginning.
"They love HInata because she is shy," while they hate Orihime because she is reserved.
Orihime is everything that Hinata could have been and they hate her in comparison.
