I haven't seen this specifically debated; only entire threads dedicated to one of them.

I want arguments with examples.

Probably kuudere, because they tend to be socially awkward and that's pretty relatable to me.
Who are you and why do you show your hostility towards a complete stranger whom you've not once spoken with before. Are you seriously asking to get blocked? Well, if that's what your intent is; to tempt me into throwing hands with someone as lowly and insignificant as you, then i may grant your wish provided you articulate yourself a bit better when trying to spite a person of my wavelength.

Oujo-samas. From the ones in the poll, I'd go with Kuuderes or Kamideres. They simply have the qualities that enjoy in stories.

These idiotic replies again.

Because I'm sure sites like TVTropes can't dissect/classify well-written characters into several archetypes... Oh wait, they can. Character archetypes are, after all, basic general patterns and/or classifications.

Downright disgusted at how much love tsunderes get. They're walking-talking trash, always on their periods, 99% times violent when something doesn't go their way and with poor freudian excuses trying to make the viewer relate to their shitty personalities. No thanks.

A character that alternates between all the dere types based on the situation they are in. You know, like a well written three-dimensional character. Holo is a great example.

but don't those characters have tons of different tropes/classifications attached to them? "dere" is a pretty broad term, describing basic behavior and personality

I have to vote tsun because of the simple fact I've never disliked one, ever. Could have gone in many directions though due to some outstanding characters in those categories (e.g. kuudere - Ayanami Rei), but alas things are as they should be.

At the risk of being a basic bitch, tsundere. They're incredibly easy to get wrong, but when done right (Asuka, Taiga, Senjougahara, UBW Rin, arguably Winry Rockbell), no archetype is as consistently entertaining and emotionally resonant.

If I wasn't the OP, I'd vote kamidere just because it doesn't have any votes. >:)

A greedy lover would only get me more fired up for them instead of annoyed.

But I'm not going to affect the percentages.

Tsundere can be cute if it's not overused/overacted and is used as an actual personality trait instead of just for gag or gimmick or just because.

Yandere is the safest favorite because even the shallowest can still pretty entertaining to watch.

Dandere is cute.

Kuudere is cute.

I guess my fav would be kuudere.

Saw your post snd I was like, hey I should totally do that too.

Also because it's late at night and I feel too lazy to remember all the definitions.

But honestly the -dere tropes are all sorta annoying simplifications of personalities.

So I went and looked some of thdm up and now I kinda regret throwing my vote away for fun since I could have voted dandere. Since quiet stoic people are often attractive.

I think I got that definition right. Maybe.

If I must choose from one of the deres then I'll go with kuudere, they are cold on the outside and not very good at expressing themselves but actually care on the inside, I just find them more relatable and interesting plus unlike tsunderes they won't beat the shit out of their love interest.

Also yanderes (more like yangire) are pretty entertaining when I'm in the mood for some blood and gore but they are a terrible choice when looking for romance and I don't like male yanderes.

Dandere = The one that has a crush, but is shy and is too embarrassed to confess.
Deredere = Lively people person that tells you directly how much they love you.
Himedere = I'm sophisticated! I'd never do such crude things with you!
Kamidere = Hey fucker, worship me.
Kuudere = Blunt like deredere, but not a people person.
Tsundere = I hate you! *slap* Oh no! Are you okay? I'm sorry! D:
Yandere = If you give others more attention than you give me, I have to take you away from them.

They're just the first thing you notice. They have also been mapped to MBTI types:

We talking real life or talking just anime? In it's anime, then I'd like a character with a relatively flat voice which only seems to be a specific to kuudere characters.

As for real life, as much as I like a lot of kuudere and dandere characters, I actually don't think how they initially react to you when they realise the like you is all that important. Their -dere type and even their looks might get you to notice them in the first place (which is very important no doubt), but that won't necessarily keep you together.

In the end, what's important is when you move past the walls they put up around themselves and get to know how they treat you once you get together.

Sounds like a terrible idea to be honest, having 2 quiet people together is the recipe for awkward moments of complete silence.
BurningSpiritNov 18, 2018 1:16 AM
I'm not a lolicon, you're just projecting your tendency to lewd 2D characters.

If your favourite character is Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko, you are my soul mate.

Been a long time since I've been here, I'll continue expressing myself freely and believe everyone should too.

Off all the 'dere's', I would go for kuundere's, since you can kinda assign the traits to myself aswell.

I can be cold at times, but I also can be an adorable cinnamon bun that's too pure for this world.

kuudere/dandere.. they are cute for some reason and less annoying than most of violent-tsundere,

for rl since they aren't truly exist so i choosing what close to it, like quite or introvert type of person, i like them because most of the time these type i've met were kept things for themselves or being straightforward and talks to me in person i like honest person, and it's good rather than talking peoples on their backs, because it's just show how moronic they are, also imo they are good listener, and good thinker, somehow.

and yet i've to admit less violent tsundere is kinda cute

No clue which one is the best, but Danderes are the worst in romance stories. They keep dragging things out instead of just confessing. They are almost as annoying as dense Mcs.

This is where the anime community showcases their shit taste again by voting Tsundere to the top. It's the same everytime someone asks this question :/.

Well, better than Yandere at least, but no combination of mental problems beats a genuinely nice person (deredere) as far as I'm concerned.
I probably regret this post by now.

No one Dere is the best since you have to judge the character itself of whatever Dere they are and if its integrated well with their overall character and not say which is best purely based off which Dere

but based off personal bias in terms of self selection its Tsundere and Yanderes that are on top of the poll

also smh at all you who use Taiga in this thread as an example for picking tsundere

Maybe, but I feel pretty awkward around people who are too talkative as well. It may seem that I'm not giving a rat's ass to them or what they're talking about, but I just have trouble talking back with the same enthusiasm.
