sakutonaru, ObiRin is not my favourite pairing either. For different reasons however. It's a small detail, but..the many pictures of her in his room kinda freaked me out.
I don't hate it though, and I see now that Rin was more than a puppylove to Obito. I'm neutral.
I think it's important to divide ObiRin before tragedy, and Obirin after tragedy. Obito is a mentally unhealthy person, so it would be weird for him to still have a healthy love for Rin. He currently doesn't respect her feelings, decisions as a kunoichi etc., unlike what Naruto thinks of Sakura. I think that is the primary difference. But parallel =/= copy. Basic structure + history is similar, but if you dig deeper you'll find aspects that either make or break your liking of the ships.
Just like shipping ObiRin, yet not NaruSaku does not break the parallel, disliking ObiRin and shipping NaruSaku doesn't either. The key elements are clear.
I dont know what are you trying to imply here, even if Obito became evil he clearly respected her.
I only see one picture, and on which that's only a particularly, like Naruto and his date requests, it's something done for comic purposes.
Even before he respected her to a point that he drop his own confession much like Naruto prevents himself from confession because he hasnt fullfilled his promise, and even after it, he understood why she wanted to die but blamed the world for it not her decision.
Obito lost faith on the world after she died and Madara told him some truths, and it was obvious he had to lose to save her, in fact he died in order for her to live and Kakashi could protect her but Kakashi could not fullfill his promise and Rin chose to die to protect the village.
Now the reason why Obito fell into the darkness is that he was weaker than Naruto and Rin seemed as his only source of strenght alongside his desire to be hokage.
He lost both of them, Rin died and he saw his teacher who failed to protect his students became hokage.
And also when he was talking with Kakashi, he never implied that on a genjutsu world would force her to love him on this illusion world, you're making this assumption by yourself.
And no, i think disliking Obi/Rin and liking NS is a double standard much like disliking SS and shipping SK, on which is only my opinion, and i dont want to discuss this.
The difference however on parallels is that Obito was much like Sakura(in certain aspects like self confidence) than Naruto because it was always shown Rin supporting Obito and Rin seemed much more self confident than Sakura, she only had a flaw which was her love for Kakashi, while as for Sakura she has her love for Sasuke and her self confident issues and giving value to her mistakes more than the good things she does.
