Needs Help: Bokukko

OP by Ayumi-chan

Bokukko, according to its description, is about a girl who uses masculine pronouns (in Japanese, the pronoun "boku" is often used by young boys and men but it is used girls who have tomboyish personalities). But that has me wondering if a girl who uses just masculine terms is trope worthy.

Here are the results of the wick check:

• A girl who uses Japanese masculine pronouns and has some context - (15/50)
• A girl who just uses Japanese masculine pronouns - (16/50)
• Others (ZCE, pothole etc.) - (19/50)

The main problem with this trope isn't just the chairs-y examples but also the amount of ZCEs. This is because anyone not familiar with Japanese pronouns would be wondering how the trope is applied than just a simple acknowledgement of it.

Possible solutions:

1. Expand the trope to include a girl who uses masculine pronouns in any language (not just Japanese) as suggested here (Not sure it would solve the PCE and Chairs-y examples)
2. Disambig the trope between Tomboy, Expository Pronoun and Japanese Pronouns (among other possible tropes)
3. Make the page Definition Only

1. Characters.Deltarune Susie/ Bokukko: Actually, "Ore Onna"; in the Japanese localization, she uses the pronoun "ore", which is considered even more masculine than the usual tomboy pronoun of "boku", and she speaks like a young hooligan in general. She briefly drops it when she first meets Toriel and tries really, really hard to be polite, instead using "atashi".
2. Characters.A Certain Magical Index Academy City Leadership (Aiho Yomikawa)/ Bokukko: She has a very relaxed and somewhat masculine style of speech, as shown by her use of "boku".
3. Characters.Hololive Japan Generation Four (Amane Kanata)/ Bokukko: As a shy angel school girl who pretends to be cool, she usually uses boku to refer to herself. She once did a challenge where she was to only use "atashi" to refer to herself and if she failed she would end the stream, which ended quite early.
4. Characters.Jo Jos Bizarre Adventure Steel Ball Run (Hot Pants)/ Bokukko: Tended to use Japanese male pronouns to keep up her Sweet Polly Oliver facade. After the reveal, she started to use gender-neutral pronouns instead.
5. Characters.Magical Warfare (Momoka Shijou)/ Bokukko: Uses "boku" to refer to herself in conversations reflecting her tomboyish nature despite her feminine appearance.

9. Characters.Frame Arms Girls (Hresvelgr)/ Bokukko: She uses "Boku" as her pronoun, signifying her Blood Knight tendencies and her love for battles.
10. Characters.Kill La Kill Nui Harime/ Bokukko: In the original Japanese Dub, she uses the masculine pronoun "boku". Unlike most examples, however, she's an adorable, pink-wearing Girly Bruiser, on top of being a remorseless psychopath. Because it's a masculine pronoun, no one suspects anything when she refers to herself as "boku" while disguised as a male student.
11. Characters.Mushoku Tensei Jobless Reincarnation (Sylphiette)/ Bokukko: She refers to herself as "boku" when she meets Rudeus. This, along with her short hair, causes him to mistake her for a boy. In her teenage years, she uses "boku" when disguised as a boy.

14. Characters.Miss Kobayashis Dragon Maid Dragons (Lucoa)/ Bokukko: Despite being female — and extremely feminine-looking at that — she refers to herself in Japanese with "boku", a masculine pronoun. Possibly a reference to the fact that her namesake is male in the original Aztec mythology.
