"How are these worlds still populated" is a great question, and one I'm going to continue ignoring because it's not the fun part, alas.

And yes you did complain. Remember the Carousel story?

I don't "dislike tsundere characters", I dislike "literary analysis" that uses that trope as an answer to any question whatsoever. "Oh she's just tsundere" is. Not. Well, let's not get into it.

"Show don't tell" exactly, I'm showing instead of having other characters tell?

I like consensual and particular kinds of semi-consensual. The kind where the consent IS given, but under some sort of pressure / without enthusiasm.

Slapping someone in the face for touching VERY DEFINITELY means "stop". It only means "try harder" if this is a kinky play between established partners who both know exactly what scenario they're doing. In all other scenarios it doesn't mean that, not ever. You're just ignoring what you're outright told and insisting that it should be notarized in triplicate with a drop of blood until you believe it. Verbal or non-verbal.

Like, "no means no" aside… people literally argue this exact same thing about being TOLD "no" with words. What if it's just flirting and testing and secretly she wants you to try harder? Zero difference between verbal and nonverbal, there. (And I'll buy there being girls who say "nooooo" while winking and blushing before I buy there being girls who slap someone in the face to encourage them)
