No, she's not. She's a very important person to Shirou and to Rin, and she has a huge amount of influence behind-the-scenes.

Bollocks. Especially not when the character in question is Rin's sister, and her situation is not even mentioned. Rin (potentially) fucks off to London with the only guy Sakura carn ever be happy around, without even bothering to check why she can never be happy, and yet it's played as a fully happy ending, with no indication whatsoever that there's anything wrong. Sakura has been tortured for eleven years, and yet in two of the three routes Zouken Karma Houdini's his way out of it (as does Shinji, in one) whilst she's left to be tortured to death (potentially) so that her moronic big sister can live in blissful ignorance. I don't see how that is in any way a "happy ending", especially not if they ever discover the truth.

Why does the fact that Sakura isn't directly involved in the war in the first two routes mean that it's not reasonable for her fans to dislike those routes because she's not saved in them? Surely, the fact that she's not involved gives us even more reason not to like that route. Plus, the endings are just really grating after playing through HF, especially UBW True. Everything is played as if it's a happy ending, including for Sakura, and yet in the background she's being constantly tortured and the guy she loves is fucking off to London with her big sister, of all people. It's just really irritating, and what makes it even more irritating is idiots like you who claim that we're somehow being unreasonable for wanting our favourite character to not get thoroughly fucked over in all but one ending (and by her own big sister, at that...).
