It has been decided of late that this site has too many Japanese terms floating around, including for concepts which are not Japan-specific, and that this is creates an intolerable burden upon users who aren\\\'t fans of Japanese media, since they\\\'re unlikely to understand these terms at first glance. The \\\"compromise\\\" (inverted commas because [[YourMileageMayVary some don\\\'t see it as such]], despite it being described that way by [[WordOfGod the admins]]) put forward is this: all anime/manga terms are allowed to remain, but must either become redirects for tropes with English names (e.g. PinkBishoujoGhetto, now called ImprobablyFemaleCast), fanspeak terms for separate trope pages (e.g. {{Kuudere}}, the trope now being SugarAndIcePersonality) or Japan-only tropes (e.g. this one, with non-Japan examples now going... well, okay, I\\\'m not entirely sure where), with a few - still contested - exceptions where the term is so well-used and/or has no convenient English equivalent despite being a universal trope (e.g. {{Tsundere}}). Many of the Japan-only tropes have now also been given custom titles including English nouns (\\\"genre\\\" is a common one for tropes such as this) to clarify some of their meaning for users not familiar with them.
In short, then: yes, as things stand, this is a Japan-only trope. Whether it should remain so or not is less an issue for this specific trope and more an ongoing point of wider contention across the site.
