| Why are tsunderes so popular within the anime community. I really don't understand why so many people like tsunderes. Its easily the most overused archetype. Anime would be way better off if it didn't have so many damn tsunderes. BTW Im not saying all tsunderes are bad, just 98% of them. |
| There is a certain cuteness that comes from girls not wanting to show their true selves. The idea that they pretty much always act hostile but are actually loving on the inside and will act it once they get to know you is attractive, at least to some people. |
  |
| If it wasn't the most overused another characteristic would be and people would then complain about why the other one is so overused. It's cute watching them being stubborn. |
 |
| it- it's not like i was trying to be popular or anything, baka! |
 |
| Maybe because the tsundere is the easiest archtype to develop and people like well developed characters most of the time. But that's just my guess Also have you even seen every Tsundere in anime? Because if not I'm calling bullshit on that 98% statement |
 |
| Hmm so far this has been pretty civilized. Thanks for answering my question. |
| Because people love to see them comming from harsh and bitchy to full dere-lovey mode. I personally find that kinda cute... only when the bitchy side doesn't get too far. |

I suppose I should of made that more clear. |

| They are the sour patch kids of the anime world. |
| becuz ppl watching anime very much are a bit like masohists |
| Is it GreanPeace? I don't think so - whine to your parents or tell'em to buy sth for ur buttpain. Those ppl won't help you. .. ..  |
| Maybe so introverted, geeky guys can believe that the reason why girls are mean or standoffish towards them is because they secretly like them. Also tsundere is a lazy and quick way to give a character "personality" |
 |
| Didn't I see a similar thread like this around here somewhere? Oh well, I'll just quote what I said there: Tarotist said: Because it feels so satisfying to break the hard shell of a crab to taste the soft meat inside.... |

thesound said: They are the sour patch kids of the anime world. +1 Ngl, never heard anyone say that before. This is the best way to describe a tsundere. |

|
| "Girls act like they don't like me... means that they secretly DO like me!" It's a seductive fantasy for people with low self-esteem. |

Hope for the best and then embrace the horror as you realize there is no hope... Just kidding! I wish you the best of luck in your ventures into world of relationships. :P Haha, thanks. And if the world of real life relationships don't work then there's always 2D girls, I mean, who needs 3D girls anyway. |

And to answer the OP: I find some attraction to tsundere characters because in a way they're easy to relate to, I can't really hit the nail in the head on why that is. But a typical example to take would be Taiga Aisaka, since she's one of the most popular tsunderes, why? Because you'll feel sympathy for her, that's it basicly, there's more too it than that, but I'd rather not walk in to spoiler territory here, but because you can relate to her, and feel sorry for her, you'll get to like her because of that. |

I couldn't get into Toradora, but I understand what you are saying. I like Tsunderes that don't quite fit the archetype but are close enough to be considered one. I also like Tsunderes that are so over the top that the character has great comedic value. Other then that I don't care for them at all. |

| Hell if I know. I hate almost all of them because of the cringe it brings along with the double standard. A male version of Louise or Asuka would be universally hated but because they are girls its seen as cute and adorable. |

Alright, let's agree to disagree then. There isn't really a clear line on what a charather need to be or to have, to be concidered a tsundere or not, the definition isn't exactly set in stone, and it's a rather wide spectrum, your defintion of a tsundere doesn't match my definition of a tsundere, and that's fine. But let's not pollute this thread by discussing who's right or not, if you wish to tell my why I'm wrong, then do so by sending me a message on my profile instead, and if you don't wish to continue talking, then I'll wish you a good night. |

AxBattler said: Personally, I am not big on tsundere in general. I can only think of one exception on my head so far, and even then she is a bit of an oddity as far as tsundere goes. And I suppose that I still prefer them over yanderes.. Nache said: Because there are little to none of them in the real world and people think that their defensive and eventually soft nature is cute. Apparently, guys don't really like it when a girl goes tsundere on them IRL. Source: Friend who works in a maid café. Thats because Tsunderes in RL aren't cute...not even a little bit. Back during my partying days, this one girl would always talk massive shit about me both to my face, and behind my back. Turns out she just wanted the D |

You do know that there a shit ton of people who hate the 2 characters you mentioned and find them very unappealing right? |
| Well I like the core trait of the tsundere archetype-the chase. The problem now is that tsunderes are 99% the same with only about 1% being good, however I guess most dere archetyepes are shit to begin with so.... |
| Big Order (TV):great anime or greatest anime? |
| Aggressiveness is sexy for some reason. Blame the evolution. |
| Probably because people are hung up on the idea that whenever a woman is cold towards you, then that means she secretly liked you. |
| Because being called a baka is fetish for some. |
| People like the gap between the two statuses. |
| Because there is a God, and he is an angry God, and he has decided that mankind needs more torment and sorrow. And so he blighted the earth with the tsundere. |

| The fact that they aren't nice to everyone and having thick skin makes it all the more worth it when you(the mc) become close enough to them that they show you their real self. It's very much like real life... it's like when you make that one person who never laughs laugh .. it means SO much more that it is them because you really feel like you accomplished something. "Even if you can't become a special person in general, you can be a special person for someone." - Hitagi Senjougahara (the best tsundere/yandere/kuudere there is) |

| Cause tsundere is not as boring as plain girls? And dont take anime seriously. Its not a smart move. Anime is exaggerating media lol. |
