Why do people hate on Serena (anime character)? What did she ever do to anyone except be a good friend to Ash Ketchum and an awesome trainer herself?

Other girls Ash had traveled with did show hints to liking him, and have been shipped with the guy because they think they’d be a good couple, but Serena’s by far the most obvious about her feelings towards Ash. The only other characters I can think of who have a crush on Ash as obviously as Serena are Annabel from the battle frontier and that one girl with the fire Pokémon

Is it a pretty dumb reason? Yeah, in my opinion it kinda is, but it’s a reason nonetheless

That’s all from me, tootles

Atheists, there is a god up there in heaven and he loves you so much that he sent his son to die the worst death imaginable and then to turn into a zombie all to save you from sin. Why do you reject him?

While I’m not a fan of her becoming a coordinator at the end of the series, it’s clear her whole character isn’t just being an Ash simp, anyone who’s actually watched the anime and payed attention can tell you that for a fact

As someone who does a lot of shipping himself, shipping should be a way to express yourself and your love for characters, it’s a way to dream for something, even if it’s inconsequential. But attacking innocent people & characters and hating everything else over it, and trying to make everyone else feel about how they feel? I’ve gotta say, that’s about as sad as it gets

As for the shipping controversy… honestly, these people just need to touch some grass, it literally boils down to that. I get it, y’all prefer Ash with someone else or something, I for one like the shipping between him and Lillie better, but those of us who actually have lives know how innately stupid arguing over, literally, which two fictional characters should date truly is. Seriously, whoever wastes their time arguing over that is a professional tenth state of the USA

Some fans are jealous that Ash and Serena is the most likely ship to become canon (if that ever happens), some fans think she’s just a bland character and that her crush on Ash is all there is to her, and some fans just think Ash doesn’t need a lover (which I mean, sure, whatever floats your boat). Either way, this does seem to be the biggest source of hate on Serena

Well, that’s pretty much my discussion on why people hate Serena… and how stupid the shipping controversy is, get over it

The main reason people hate in Serena is because of her shipping with Ash

Why does Christianity push reconciliation after a partner cheats? Mine had a 7-year affair with someone half my age. He cheated and lied. He is not the same to me.

As someone who’s rewatched the X&Y anime recently, the second criticism of her is just wrong… like, straight up, there is so much more to her character than just her crush on Ash, which isn’t even the most prominent thing about her character from my experience

Serena did want to see Ash again, but she also essentially used her desire for a Pokémon journey as an excuse to get out of the house. Her mom’s great but she doesn’t want to become a Ryhorn racer, she wants to follow her own path, which led to her becoming a showcase performer instead
