I fail to see how someone who was able to get her team to the center of the tower first during the Chunin exams, who fought well enough with her cousin( who is said to be a genius btw ) and has been wiling to risk her life twice to save others can be considered "useless".
I can defend Hinata almost as good as I can defend Sakura. ( I know more about Sakura..) but I can still stand up for Hinata too.

....come on now. Hinata is USEFUL.
They are all useful in some way. they are ninja, each with skills that are useful in different areas. Hinata is a skilled tracker. Sakura is a skilled Healer. Ino is a skilled Senser. ( ditto for Kiba and Shino.) .....idk... the list goes on and on...

But I'm not so good at this debate stuff....but I'll try to defend her( and others) the best that I can.

Neji wanted to show how useless it was for Hinata to keep going as a ninja so he prolonged the fight. Hinata's team members are useless all together. Maybe not Shino, but he has his whole family to replace him. So when she helped them in the chunin exam, it was nothing really. You can't use that argument with people Neji, Shikamaru, Ino and Choji because they're amongst the best in their respecitve families. But Hinata isn't that great of a fighter, she's just the daughter of the leader of the main branch of the Hyuga family. Hinata's only a "skilled" tracker because she has byakugan.
The Hyuga family is elite, unrivaled, Konoha's strongest ninja family and most effective asset. But Hinata's just an average fighter amongst the Rookie 9. This shows that she doesn't live up to her family name.
I'll throw you a bone. The only person who isn't useless in Team Kurenai is Kiba because he can smell better than a dog. But that's it, and my initial point stays clear. Hinata is useless.
and while you throw useless around though, do care to remember that useless would be a character who literally doesn't do anything at all, and doesn't even exist. a character can be useful in more than a few ways. such as plot development ect. ect. and hinata has done plenty of that.
The topic was how Hinata was useless. Of course I would use the word since the context was appropriate. Hinata's influence on the development of the series is not relevant. When you're referring to a character in a story, if it be a movie, novel or comic book, you talk about his/her relevance to the main conflict and story. Everybody has a part in the development, but its topic that concerns "usefulness". Hinata has never beaten an enemy that was a big problem to everyone around her. All she has done to help her team always had an alternative. For ******** sakes, Konoha closed their ties with Kumogakure because of Hinata. Things would have been better if she was never alive honestly. The only reason her character exists is so that naruto has someone who loves him and to have a "kawaii" character to attract more audience into that bullshit.
And a series doesn't have tp be all about beating the s**t out of people to progress. If you notice, it takes Naruto's friends to help him out. But that is your opinion, although Hinata's development on the series is relevant. How else would Naruto would have got himself back in gear with out a slap to the face and a few words? If it wasn't Hinata, it would be a different character. And that character would be useful to the plot so that Naruto is doing what we intend for him to.
Truly, it would have been interesting to see Naruto join Obito and Madara. Naruto's awesome but its true that he's hard headed sometimes. Honestly I think the story would have been more exciting to see Naruto switch his entire game. But anyways, everybody was thinking what Hinata was thinking at that time really, everyone wasn't surprised but agreed with her. She was the first, somebody else would have snapped Naruto to his senses anyways. Every accomplishment that Hinata has done for anyone could have been replaced by somebody else.
Also, a series CAN be about beating the s**t out of people to progress. Dragon Ball Z was all about that and that was a heavy influence on Naruto, Bleach, One Piece and almost every other mainstream anime that is currently on progress. I explained why I don't like Hinata (obviously), I just want to know, why do you like Hinata so much?
