Basic Trope: A (usually female) character who assaults people for pervertedness that only happened in her head.
- Straight: Alice smacks Bob around for talking to her, even when he's just making innocent conversation.
- Exaggerated:
- Alice beats Bob to a bloody pulp for looking at her - even though it was in a non-lascivious way.
- Alice stabs Bob simply because he briefly and accidentally made eye contact with her.
- Downplayed:
- Bob gets smacked by Alice, but he was making a Double Entendre - and it's not entirely clear that he didn't mean it in the innocent way.
- Alice never gets violent, but she often throws dirty looks and scowls at Bob for no apparent reason.
- Justified:
- Bob is usually perverted, so it's force of habit for Alice to hit him.
- Alice deals with a lot of perverts in her daily life, and thinks Bob is just another one of them.
- Alice is short-tempered and sees everything as a potential insult.
- Gender Inverted:
- Bob hits Alice for imagined perversion.
- Inverted:
- Alice has a huge crush on Bob, and imagines that anything he does is with lascivious intent, creating an unprovoked blush effect when he says or does anything.
- Bob is a huge pervert towards Alice, but she doesn't realize his true intentions so she thinks of him as nothing but a gentleman.
- Subverted: Bob says or does something innocent. Alice raises her hand to smack him then realizes her mistake and stops.
- Double Subverted:
- But after he brings that incident up, she smacks him anyway.
- Some time later, Alice hits Bob out of the blue, saying "That's for the time you did this!", bringing up the innocent thing he did above as if it was a heinous crime.
- Parodied: Alice reacts with disgust at things like being glanced at and being talked to, but when Bob attempts to grope her or compliment her chest, her reaction is a disinterested shrug.
- Zig Zagged: Alice's treatment of Bob varies depending on her mood.
- Averted: Alice doesn't misunderstand anything Bob says.
- Enforced: The producers of Generic Anime Rom-Com think having a Tsundere hit boys for no good reason is hilarious, so instruct the writers to include plenty of that.
- Lampshaded: "Why are you hitting me? I just said you look nice!"
- Invoked: Bob has been zig-zagigng between Double Entendres and Innocent Innuendo all day, So Alice decided to be overly vengeful in order to figure out which is which.
- Exploited: Someone wants the superpowered Alice to take out Bob, so they put her on edge, knowing his remarks will warrant an unprovoked blow.
- Defied: Bob catches Alice's hand and says "Hey! I didn't say anything dirty, so cool it!"
- Discussed: ???
- Conversed: ???
- Deconstructed:
- After Alice smacks him around enough, Bob decides to either be done with her or even sue her for damages.
- Bob points out that this would be unacceptable if he and Alice switched genders.
- Alice gets arrested for the unprovoked assault on Bob.
- Alice attempts to smack Bob. Bob does a kung-fu move and decks her right back.
- Played For Laughs: David pinches Alice's butt, and Alice swings at Bob instead.
