My friend describes me as tsundere. So it probably does exist in the world, only not as extreme as it's depicted in anime. Lol
|
I say NO.
Only delusional fans think they do. |
^ Perhaps you haven't met one...
Or perhaps you think that a Tsundere in real life would be the same as one in anime? That Sir, is not the case, although I don't blame you, they're hard to come by, or so I heard. :heh: I suppose it just so happens that every girl that's been interested in me was a Tsundere one way or another. :cool: And if you're wondering, yes, I am a type B. :D |
tsundere kuudere yandere etc.. are exaggerated versions of human personalities that's why a real life tsundere doesn't exist.
maybe the type b's or c's of it does exist. but as far as i know te tsunderes in anime aren't real. unless they have some attitude or mental problems. |

I also think it would be a mistake to think that this thread is referring to Tsunderes as you see them in anime. Naturally, this thread is referring to a mellowed down version of what people see in anime. :D |
Quote:
oh. i see. maybe mellowed down tsunderes do exist then? |

'Real' tsundere are a pain in the membrane

Seriously, using that purist notion pretty much means that you can't count *any* personality type in anime or any other fiction as being a representation of real life. All entertainment is a short-hand sketch of reality. |
I'd say tsundere is the default personality of most real-girls. Only their appeals are a lot less than the ones in 2D.
Danderes, kuuderes, yanderes, I think they all also exist IRL, though not like how they appear in anime and manga. Don't get me wrong, I like girls. Just that it would be unfair for them to be compared to the perfect conjuration of a man's wishful imagination. |
(shrug) anime, like any other storytelling, has characters and relationships that are *simplified* representations of real life attributes.
|
But simplified can still be more extreme, it's just not as deep.
|
I believe that certain aspects and/or traits/styles of tsundere exist in every single one of us :)

really???? hmmm...i'm just having a problem believing that. tell me about what she does that made you think she's an anime-like tsundere. I'll listen. |

http://forums.animesuki.com/showthre...29#post3663029 She is almost a dead ringer personality-wise to the Lucky*Star Kagami type of tsundere. As you can see from the pics, she's also "loli-sized" (149cm, 43kg). |

Heh... :) I will admit that the pic is of her on her "couch of decompression" after she comes home from a day of NOT killing people who need it.

Seriously, much of my amusement with characters like Taiga (Toradora), Kagami (LuckyStar), Zakuro (Otome Youkai Zakuro), Motoko (Love Hina), and others comes from the "recognition shock" factor. Including tsundere, all character archetypes are very simplified versions of real life personalities - its the nature of storytelling. |
Quote:
hmm. How anime portrays these archtypes doesn't exist. that's how i see it. 0__0 not to sound anything rude, but she seems to be really eccentric?? eh? |
Quote:
Yeah, I'd have to say she's somewhat eccentric (like I am). |
Quote:
LOL. what makes you eccentric then? |
Quote:
If one is being utterly rigid about it, then any written description of a real person is false because it "doesn't exist in the real world". If I call wife a "tsundere", it means that her usual personality is "rawr rawr growl" but she can also "dere dere" when its just me. Seriously, if you've watched LuckyStar's Kagami over the life of the series you've pretty much met my wife - school habits, sarcasm, flaming rawr, sweet when she doesn't think anyone is watching... even the ponytail or twintails. Her cousin is a friend of mine and he was astounded when we started dating because all he ever saw was her "tsun" mode (him: "Are you out of your mind?") Quote:
Frankly, I'm unusual by the standards of my age peers. Yeah, I fit in with "NASA people", "Internet tech ops", "medieval re-enactments (SCA)", "gamerz", and anime/manga folk - all considered eccentric by the mainstream. I'm a walking wiki of Monty Python, HHGTTG, and sci-fi movie quotes. My sons and I built a trebuchet on our property when they were teens. My office is full of anime figurines, manga, and anime amongst the programming, physics/math references, and engineering books. This is... unusual to say the least. Frankly, I've always been way outside the "normal" spectrum and now even more so because its quite rare to find someone my age with that resume (even in the US). My wife sounds more "normal" (pharmacist, knitter, etc) til you see what she knits. Among the usual blankets and stuff are baby hats that look like a large alien fish chomping on the baby's head; cthulhu plushies, "Whoville" baby hats, baby clothes with perky goth motifs, and recently she's been researching "Jane hats" (a hat worn by a character on the sci-fi series Firefly that his mother sent him). Her daily attire usually includes skull motifs, eyeball earrings, and other bits of gothy lolita she can get away with in the office. |
I've seen it in real-life TV dramas... but I don't think it's possible for this personality to exist in real life.
Generally it goes that the male and female are at odds to each other and they eventually fall in love. At that point, they should lose the tsuntsun part (for the most part...). |
I think tsundere may be more an East Asian personality type. A Chinese relative of mine (who herself is both fey and tsundere) told her son that you know a girl likes you when she ignores you totally. He married a woman who is constantly sniping at him. They are deeply in love.

However, I've rarely seen it implemented in film in any pure sense since the late 60s. And yeah, I'll admit I've hardly ever really seen a non-asian example of a 'real life' tsundere. |
^ I've seen a non-asian one before (okay, she was half-asian) and I have to admit it isn't the same, it's like the difference between Shana-like and Hitagi-like.

Quote:
Again, tsunderes in real life are fucking bitches. Unless they have a lot of dere or some other personality traits to positively balance it (since real people have more than 2D). |
Quote:
1) I'm male. Females bear children. Why would my children be 'tsundere'? No sense being made.:confused: 2) Thanks for insulting my wife and calling her names? O.o' :eyebrow::mad: Its called "tsundere" because there's "tsun" and there's "dere" ... you seem to be confusing it with "tsuntsun"? Was your intent to piss me off? |
I assume Komari is taking the fact that your wife is a tsundere. That it will pass on to your kids as well? The question confuses me as well..

They *wouldn't* have any redeeming features or soft-sides. They'd be, at best, tsun-tsun but I'd class them as characters for which there aren't any ready names - tsundere are classically 'tsun' in reaction to emotions they're trying to deny or when they're feeling righteous about some possible 'wrong" (e.g. "I wasn't doing this to be nice!" or "How dare you see me naked!"). To me, at least, tsundere are "crunchy on the outside and creamy on the inside" -- the fact they have redeeming 'secret sides' is what makes them interesting. |
I can't say if they do really exist, we might misunderstood a person for being a tsundere because she acts negative about us then acts good in some instances.
They might not be in a good mood when you bumped unto them or they just hate you. I got a staff mate who acts like a tsudere...... nah, she just probably hates me, but who cares, I don't hate her. It's her problem, wuhuhu! |
I personally think tsunderes do exist out in ye yonder. I think the anime portrayal does sometime simplify it to an extent, but I think often times anime does misconstrue certain tsundere tendencies and ends up creating characters which seem unrealistic.
The amount of anime I have seen is relatively limited compared to a lot of the members on this forum so I might sound presumptuous. I think a lot of popular derisive tsunderes which tend to be "bitchy" have tsun and dere qualities but not tsundere qualities. Usually you end up with a schizophrenic bipolar character with a split personality on the side. The qualities are split like water and oil. And I think a lot of people that hate on those tsun/deres do so because of the fact that the characters seem two-faced rather than multi-faceted. And it is kind of annoying plot-wise, as often any progress with a tsun/dere in a relationship is reset if you get to the tsun side or it becomes easy cheese if you are on the dere side. So more or less you end up with having to deal with two different characters who can switch places on the fly. The only example I can think of at the moment would be Louise from The Familiar of Zero. In real life this would be completely unrealistic or at least suicidal if you had to deal with someone like that. But! I do think tsunderes exist. I've met a few myself. They tend to abuse you just for kicks. The ones that like you though tend to be tsun because of an unwillingness to confront either their feelings or your own. Sometimes its out of shyness or in the case of Vexx's wife, a rough persona. Maintaining image seems to be important for a lot of tsunderes and a real life example would be guys that have a stoic, macho front. They never exactly want to express feeling and cover such feelings up with nonchalance. And tsunderes for girls might stem from vulnerability when it comes to trying to open up. So essentially the same aspect for girls and guys. Thing about these kinds of tsunderes is that most of the time they are tsun they also are dere. A lot of their rough actions have an underlying soft side. Vexx's wife would be a really good example of this. In anime I think Taiga from Toradora is a good example of a realistic tsundere. Her tsun qualities stem from complexes/insecurites and although she is dere to Ryuji, she still maintains that spunk from her tsun side even to the very last episode. She never leaves being tsun for dere, because for her they are one in the same. Personally I guess I have a thing for tsunderes as characters, they just seem so fun and they always add a comic dimension to a lot of characters. I've liked Eri from School Rumble and Haruhi from the Suzumiya series. Those tend to be mainly for the comical aspect, but nonetheless likable for me at least. But if you want the BEST example of a tsundere that I've seen, in both realism and likability it would have to be Makise Kurisu from Steins;Gate. For those that feel that tsunderes don't exist, after seeing Kurisu you might be more inclined to find that there are people like that. She is probably my favorite tsundere. Her tsun side is comical yet stems from a realistic cause, and her dere side just makes her tsun side seem all the more endearing. And anyone who has watched Hey Arnold!, Helga is the western equivalent to the tsundere. |
