My question why are there so many of these fics.
and everything will magically fix itself.
Same deal, if Ranma would just stop insulting Akane, the problems would stop.
I think "bullying" is incorrectly -- and too loosely -- being used to explain Ranma's behavior, either in whole or in part.
despite how bad their relationship seems -- they do have a special rapport going on
He could easily escape retaliation if all he wanted to do was to be hurtful, and there are plenty of instances where he clearly stays put and lets her get him back (one instance, that comes to mind, is during the martial arts tea ceremony story, for example).
Beyond that, and the fact that Ranma is often blunt and/or tactless when stating facts (which may or may not be the case)
It'll just end up making Akane the bad guy if she doesn't change in turn, if, say, Ranma tried to use his criticism constructively. Akane simply doesn't respond well to any perceived faults being directed at her, at least as far as Ranma is concerned.
Also, Akane initiates the verbal barbs often enough

From "zero"? AFAIK, that´s VERY rare to the point where i can´t even think of such an occasion right now.
No specific occasion comes to mind right now, either, honestly, but I'm pretty sure they're there. She's often by his side, or nearby, when he does or says something (not to her, or even applying to her) that inspires a comment or action worthy of a negative reaction (if he catches it, or isn't otherwise concerned about something else).
They can certainly be spiteful, though.

Neither would I blame Ranma if Akane called him a pervert simply for being able to transform into a girl.
I believe the point concerned responding in kind; i.e. meanness for meanness, not meanness for whatever
