Bad Romance (or, YA & Rape Culture)
Ahhh… This was the bit I was missing on my Tsundere post!

Hush, Hush as sitting at the extreme end of an ongoing societal fantasy in which women go through character arcs of various types that inevitably end in heteronormative sexual relationships. The end result? No always means yes. Yes always means yes. No, No, No, always means yes.
If that doesn’t sound like the arc of tsundere, then I’ll eat my hat. The problem, as she identifies it, comes from the fact that the canonical western romances cast all relationships as tsundere ones.
