The really rabid shippers take this to the level of hate, as would be expected.

Among those who don't have any shipping preference (or don't care about shipping in general), anyone who a) doesn't like big-breasted characters, b) doesn't care for ditzy characters, or c) dislikes "weak" females in their shounen series (exacerbated by the fact that there are a number of "stronger" females in Bleach to compare her to) are also going to feel some animosity toward her. Again, the more rabid examples take it to the expected extreme.

Frankly, with everything that's against her, I'm surprised there isn't more hate piled upon her...
You sir, just clarified all the many reasons why the majority of Bleach Fans somewhat/truly hate Orihime and you deserve the national prize of "Stating the Hate Reasons" award
