Given that Sailor Mercury is more popular than Sailor Mars, Rei Ayanami is more popular than Asuka Langley Sohryu (my favorite character of that series), or than Hinata is more popular than Sakura... Tsundere used to be popular in the past, but I have the feeling that now the submissive, quiet, obliging girl trope is more popular among obsessed fanboys (otaku does not merely mean "people who has a hobby". It means "obsessed fanboy") who hate real women because they have their own minds and have no relationships because they are frightened of real people.
i think otaku only love boobies, and booties LOL...they're brainless shallow idiots
Yes. Honestly, when I see people hating on some tsundere characters and I listen to their arguments... I have the feeling that their "I hate her because she is an abusive, psychotic b*tch" arguments are nothing but a coverup for the real reason: "I hate her because she is a real person who gets angry and disagrees with the male character and has foul moods, and she will not support him if she thinks he is being stupid or doing something dumb".
Maybe I am being unfair, but then I find their "Character A is an evil, abusive, psychotic b*tch and a bully with no redeeming traits whatsoever and I would never date her; Character B is warm nice, kind, considerate, understanding and I'd love tap that butt" rants, I realize neither Character A -the tsundere- is so bad nor Character B -the quiet, submissive girl- is so good, and they are hating a character for things she never did and loving another character for things she has not done yet...
... and I tell myself that I am understating things.
