More often than not I think that when a heroine loses their battle for love, the ensuing backlash is more projection than disagreement with the plot. Someone briefly touched at this earlier, and I agree with what was said. It's not about the writing, it's about the viewers. Viewers want to see the girl they like the most get the man (ironically, I might add, for several reasons). Sometimes the girl is the better girl (sometimes literally every other girl is the better girl. Y'all know who I'm referring to), and thus people think she was the most deserving. More often than not though, the focus shifts to the winner and that serves as the indication.
Currently D-Frag! is like this for me. I want the girl I like more to win, but I know she wont. I'm not bothered by it though, because I know that the writing supports the choice being made. There's nothing outlandish here, except for my personal preference. :P
