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)."
