Kendra Kirai:

  • Sakura Kinimoto from Card Captor Sakura is somehow not aware that her best friend Tomoyo is in love with her. Somehow.
I'm pretty sure she knows, she'd just prefer to kind of ignore it.

YYZ: Which is what makes this Selective Obliviousness. If she genuinely had no idea Tomoyo had a crush on her, it would be more of a case of Plot-Sensitive Snooping Skills.

Kendra Kirai: Ahhh, okay...I misunderstood the entry then. I thought it was about people who are just so oblivious to a certain thing they don't even realize it...not they do realize it, but put up a nice sturdy wall inside their heads to suppress it.

Rob Mandeville: Sorry, just have to post this. The two ads I got when viewing the main page for this were for Mythbusters (probably matching a trope quote) and -- Scientology?!?
