I think people have some misconceptions about tsun and its purpose.

I'll start by saying that humans love contrast. This extends beyond writing and etc - there's an entire course of human food where sweet and salty/umami flavors are blended together in interesting ways called breakfast. Top chefs add bitter or acidic accents to their sweet desserts. Water tastes best after having none for a long while. A game is most enjoyable when you haven't played it for a while. Humans despise monotony. The bottom line is that if you temper something with its opposite, or its absence, it becomes more enjoyable to humans.

There's a concept in writing based on this called the love/hate dynamic. It's a schema for managing the direction of hate and love toward the protagonist, who is an extension of the reader. More hate means that any instance of love will seem much more genuine, tender, or enjoyable to the reader. The prevalence of the hate also dulls its severity in the reader's eye. The opposite is also true. A protagonist having been showered with love throughout the whole piece means that the viewer will find any instances of hate especially jarring, and that the love present will have its effectiveness diminished.

Imagine a story as having a finite amount of two resources: Love and Hate. Having the protagonist be loved over the course of the entire story spreads the Love resource out thin, making it seem to be less present within the story.

Tsun is one of *many* ways of balancing the love/hate dynamic. It's widely used because it's easy and portable - both sides of the dynamic are built into one character for easy adjustment. The see-saw tends to wax toward Hate, for the reason that it leaves the Love resource on reserve, and in high concentration; a writer can inject the Love resource into the story during any scene and its effectiveness is immediate. This helps encourage climactic writing.

There's some creative ways of dealing with it, too. I think all of you are familiar with the amazingly awful anime Rosario and Vampire. This is another monster-of-the-week story the likes of which hundreds are produced daily in Japan by teenage fanfictioners - but it dealt with the dynamic in an interesting way. The tertiary protagonist, Moka, is two extremes built into one person - there is her ordinary kind and affectionate side, as well as her inner harsh, distancing side. This was a very effective character invention which had not been used before in any story, and accounts for the story's popularity.

There's another way which has been around for quite a while. In Ender's Game, Ender's siblings Valentine and Peter account for the extremes of love and hate respectively. Valentine is very caring and affectionate, and has a great deal of love for Ender. Peter is a sociopath who hates and manipulates Ender, appearing to show no genuine affection.

I know I'm not very original, but If I'd have to pick a tsundere then I choose her.
The fact that she cries just because she gets scared by Okarin screaming at her makes her moe factor skyrocket.

>> No.9702276

>>9702267
Except she doesn't hit you in the face whenever she's tsun. Which puts her way behind other anime characters (in terms of ridiculousness) in the tsundere department.

>> No.9702278

>>9702276
Actually I think that's another reason to prefer her.

A real tsundere shouldn't punch you or hit you in any way, because the "tsun" side should be just a smokescreen she uses to hide the fact she's actually madly in love with you.
There's no way she's actually wish to hurt you.

This is shit. It diminishes the tsun and makes it seem fake. It imbalances the equation.

>>9702288
Yeah, that's just like your own distorted opinion man.

The "tsun" part of a tsundere is fake. that's the point of it. The most classic sentence a tsundere will say is "It's not like I'm doing this for you or anything". It's so much closely associated with the concept of "Tsundere" that just saying that you're automatically a tsundere.

Why would someone do something good for you for no reason? It's blatanly obvious that the tsundere does it because she loves you and the clumsy denial of what is obvious is the major appeal of a tsundere.

She's a reliable bro, hilarious, and doesn't suffer from fucking bipolar disorder that plagues other so-called tsunderes. Bipolar disorder isn't tsundere in my books. They should be steadily warming up to you and their tolerance for 'misunderstandings' and related bullshit increasing. They are in 'love' with you after all. The tsun:dere ratio should start out high and start being tipped towards dere although there'll always be a bit of tsun. That character progression is tsundere for me. Some would also argue that random, even extreme violence is an effective delivery vehicle for tsuntsun but I personally don't have masochistic tendencies. Who'd like a girl who may punch you into space any minute and never give you the benefit of the doubt? Even when she's your fucking wife already?

The real Kyou (not the bad anime imitation) is the best tsundere, in my opinion. Her outbursts are solely verbally unless the recipient deserves it (the only one getting kicked on a regular basis is Sunohara, Tomoya only gets a dictionary thrown at him once (for improperly treating her beloved pet) and is run over by her once (for letting her beloved pet escape, causing him to return all wet and sick). Contrary to many tsundere characters who mindlessly let their emotions take control of them when angered or embarrassed, she uses her superior intellect to either screw with the victim's mind (a great example is the scene where she and Tomoya manage to convince Sunohara he is completely and utterly worthless) or to screw with her victim indirectly.

Honorable mention goes to Never7's Saki, who is probably the most convincing and realistic tsundere I've ever seen in fiction. Her tsuntsun shell is caused by her inability to trust people and with that her inability to communicate properly with people in general. Under the shell, however, is a lonely, depressed girl with little self-esteem. She desperately wants someone to rely on, but cannot find anyone due to her inability to trust people.
