@ Mr Khan  I don't see how Kurenai's character was destroyed.  If anything, what happened gives her the juicy backstory that Asuma didn't have.  She has to raise a child alone and the man she loves is gone.  This actually can make her a tougher character.  

I feel like her character was destroyed because her genjutsu got owned by itachi's lol. Now shes just "the mother of asumas son" When she could have been "the best genjutsu ninja in the leaf" Since no one else is any good at genjutsu anymore.

This, mostly. Given my fandom of Other M, i don't like to pitch the sexist card that easily, but when one of your few strong female characters is reduced to strictly "the pregnant chick," losing all of her badassery in the process, i would think that calls for ruination

When was she ever Badass?

She's only ever used one Justu... and it doesn't work half the time she uses it.

She was about as Badass as Sakura or Ino.

She never really gave off a badass vibe, or a "I'm dangerous" vibe.

She was consistantly portrayed as the weakest Jonin group leader by far who's only strongpoint was that she was the best at the least utilized kind of Jutsu in the series.

Having a kid basically was a natural development for her character and personality.

Now if this was Anko on the otherhand... i'd see your problem.
