Sakura Syndrome

Sakura Syndrome is defined in fictional works as when someone of the opposite gender is automatically hated because they are in the way of a yaoi/yuri ship.

It is based on Sakura Haruno, a character in Naruto, who comes in between the yaoi ship of Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha. Many Sasunaru shippers dislike her because she gets in the way of their ship.
Person A: "Why do people hate Kairi from Kingdom Hearts so much?"
Person B: "Well, partially because she doesn't help much in the plot. But partly because of Sakura Syndrome; she gets in between the ship of Sora and Riku (Soriku)."

Sakura Haruno Syndrome 

Noun: Sakura Haruno syndrome is when a character of an anime is totally useless until a random part of the show, where either on-screen or off-screen their abilities somehow drastically improve and they become a main part of the show.
person 1:"Man Kagome can't do crap other then sensing those shards."
person 2:"Yeah but she does start getting useful when she learns how to shoot those arrows."

"Wow this girl was totally useless one episode ago,she must have Sakura Haruno Syndrome"

Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
