This has been brought up before on the forums. If someone from that discussion can link it or summarize the major points, that\'d be awesome. Basically, however, Tsundere is already the standard term in both the English and Japanese communities for these personality types, and it\'s a much more prominent term than any of the English alternative titles that the page is already linked to. Judging from how we recently had to divide the page into separate genres because it was so huge and popular, this doesn\'t seem to be an issue.

This has been brought up before on the forums. If someone from that discussion can link it or summarize the major points, that\\\'d be awesome. Basically, however, Tsundere is already the standard term in both the English and Japanese communities for these personality types, and it\\\'s a much more prominent term than any of the English alternative titles that the page is already linked to. Judging from how we recently had to divide the page into separate genres because it was so huge and popular, this doesn\\\'t seem to be an issue. What would be an issue is suddenly changing a well established title because some people think it\\\'s too otaku-ish. For reference, check the \\\"related pages\\\" button on the trope\\\'s main page--over 3000 {{Wick}}s and has brought almost 30,000 people to this site, which puts it in the [[TheSimpsons groin-grabbingly]] popular category by the standard of the Wick index there.
I agree with you that some trope titles are GratuitousJapanese, but there are a few like these that just don\\\'t have really decent English alternative titles and gained their popularity from anime anyway. It\\\'s just like a lot of the jargon-y titles like LampshadeHanging that we get from the writer\\\'s \\\"industry\\\"--they make no sense to someone who\\\'s never heard of it, but we use it anyway since making up a new term is unnecessarily confusing once you do know.
