This is basically a rant of some Naruto-characters concerning bashing. These are just my opinions, so feel free to voice your own one, if you disagree or see some things different. And if you know any characters that are getting bashed a lot or just have clichés that aren't even true, tell me and they are going to appear in this! The characters so far are: Karin, Sakura, Orochimaru and Ino.

I hope you enjoy this and who knows? Maybe you are bashing some characters in your fanfictions wrongfully? Then I hope that you see that those characters aren't that bad^^ Because this is mainly the purpose of this 'story'!

(And please, ignore my bad english. English is not my native language...)

A girl with dark blond hair steps onto the stage and grabs the microphone.

"Hello, dear readers! I'm Megaphone. Kills. You and welcome to the Bashing-rant! We have some special guests here today! Please welcome our first guest with me, Karin!" she announces, as a girl with dark pink hair, thick-rimmed glasses and red eyes goes up to the blonde. Karin is wearing her usual cloths and gives Megaphone. Kills. You a computer chip. The blond girl disappears in a puff of smoke. Her voice booms through the room so that the audience has to shield their ears "So, Karin has something to say to you, dear readers, so listen! Karin, you can start now!"

Said redhead clears her throat and wipes some bangs out of her face. "I'm here today to tell you people just how pissed I am." Venom drips from her every word. "In most fanfictions I am always the stupid, dense, fangirl-ish slut!"

Some people in the back of the audience start to laugh at her, but shut up after she glares at them.
"I mean, what's wrong with you? Okay, I understand the fangirl part, but you guys make it even seem worse! In your fanfictions, I would jump Sasuke-kun as soon as I see him in front of everyone!"

A teen with sharingan eyes shudders at the image.

Snickering fills the air and Karin roars in annoyance. "If you haven't noticed, I would never, EVER, do that in public! Come on, I still have some dignity!

I admit it, I wanted to assault him in his sleep, but I haven't and I haven't even really tried yet, now have I? I understand that you need some rabid fangirl for your stories, but why can't you just use an OC whose only purpose is to try to get into Sasuke-kun's pants!"

Again, the sharingan user shudders.

"But what angers me the most is that I'm always reduced on that! In 'Naruto', I'm quite analytical and intelligent, but in your stories it's a miracle when I can count to three! I can do other things than fawning over Sasuke Uchiha! Really, I'm not as stupid as you portray me to be! There's a reason why Orochimaru trusted me with a whole lair to watch all by myself!

Next, the slut-part. This is the part that I really don't understand. I don't drool at every man I see or try to seduce him!"

Suddenly, a screen is next to the fuming redhead. It shows a girl, looking just like Karin, with the difference that this mirror image wears different cloths. "This" the original grinds her teeth in anger "is how you see me. This simulation wears a school uniform, since there are many high school based fanfictions."

The girl on the screen wears a blouse that has a few buttons undone, showing off her belly button and a lot of cleavage. The skirt is very, very short, barely covering anything and the shoes have quite high heels. The girl's face is mutilated with too much make-up.

"Dear people, look at me..." She pointed at herself "...and then at the screen. Now, do you see the difference? Not to mention that I wouldn't be even allowed wearing something like that in a school"

The audience first glances at the girl, then the simulation. A few whisper to their neighbor while the others nod in understanding. A murmur goes through the crowd and Karin smirks triumphantly. "My cloths aren't that slutty. First, the shirt. It has a high collar, the zipper is done all the way, and it has long sleeves. The only 'slutty thing is that is shows off my belly button! And, by the way, when you look at this picture..."

The image on the screen changed into the picture of a boy and a girl wearing similar things to Karin. The shirts were the same, while they wear longer pants.

"Our uniforms are quite the same. The only change I made were the short shorts and the high stockings. So don't tell me I'm wearing slutty cloths, those are just the common cloths every jailer wears as a uniform."

By now, the tracker-nin has calmed down a bit, yet she still looks very pissed and glares at nothing in peculiar. "I hope you now understand that, and even if you don't, you at least now know MY opinion. And I know that there are at least a few people out there who think the same way. Not all of you are mean, heartless people! Good night, fellas!"

The kunoichi bows and goes off the stage, behind the red curtain. The people listening clap, but stop when there is a loud 'BOOM'. They cough because there is smoke everywhere. When it clears, they spot the blonde from earlier again. She grins at them before she says into the microphone "Wow, that was quite a rant! Thank you for coming here tonight, Karin!"

"Now, we still have three more people to go for today's show! Our next special guest has come over here from Konohagakure, the hidden leaf village! She has similar problems as Karin and she wants to vent out her frustration!" shouted Megaphone. Kills. You.

"Here is Sakura Haruno!"

Okay, this was the first chapter and the first character! When I first started reading fanfictions, my opinion of Karin was completly based of the stories I read. By now, my view of her has changed and she's one of my favorite characters. The same goes (more or less) for Orochimaru.

Anyways! I would like to hear your opinions and to hear your ideas!

(And the thing with the uniforms is most likely true. You can find the proof in Naruto Volume 38, at the end when team Hebi encounter the beaten guard.)
