If people going to criticize Sakura for being an emotional character obsessed with a boy for no apparent reason, then you might as well laugh at Neji's face for thinking everything is pre-determined. He is also just as shallow of a character as Sakura, but since he " kicks so much ass ", he is accepted as a " good character ". I would like someone to explain what a " good charater " is. Laugh in Sasuke's face for wanting to waste his life only for revenge, that's not normal either.

Sakura brings a sense of reality to the table, something called emotion. Someone has to show it because most of the other characters are a bunch of ass kicking, raping bad asses, whom only worry about fighting and getting stronger. Without good there isn't evil. If it wasn't for Sakura, people wouldn't sympathize with Naruto for treating her so good and getting nothing in return. Sasuke would also not look as bad ass. Each character brings out something in another.

Once again, I think Sakura is a great character. I also agree she takes it overboard sometimes and is a little too obsessed. She should play the field lol, but she is not a " a rotting piece of shit who should burn in hell or the start of the decay of the human race " or any other insult people can think of without providing any valid reason for it.
