what do we think of this trope?
you mean tomboy?
>>285277603>ladetteHoly cringe, it's tomboy. And all the girls you posted under it are christmas cake hags not tomboysand i love hags
>>285277666That or the messy girl archetype, Satan. But you're right. I hope you have hot succubi over there.
>>285277666I think ladettes are specifically adult women. They might even have been tomboys when they were younger but they never fully grew out of it. They might look feminine on the outside but their personality is unlady like. It's definitely a different vibe from your standard youthful tomboy.
>>285277603Young?
>>285278194"Young woman" is usually an adult woman between the ages of 18 to 30.
How is Rangiku a tomboy. She is incredibly feminine and flaunts it
>>285277666Tomboys usually love sports, the ladettes are sedentary and would rather watch sports on the couch with a beer, if they're into sports at all.
Himeno is cute. I wouldn’t call kawakami a ladette though.
>>285277603Shit and forced
>>285277666tomboys can be shy and cute. this thing can never be shy or cute.
>>285277603I fucking love it>>285278361She's a party girl when she drinks and she is confrontational when she wants to be but yeah not a tomboy
>>285277603Rangiku is not a example of this.
>>285277603no reason to use TV tropes
They will never be the main love interest
>>285277603Most of them don't fit that description.
>>285277691You're too focused on age. Being a christmas cake hag is a different aspect from being a slovenly alcoholic.
>>285278501the only exception is when they're faking it to tease a shota
>>285277691>Misato is a tomboyRetardest post of the yearCongratulations anon
>>285278727
>>285278743>Retardest post of the yearThat's ironic since you're a retard that can't even read the post you're replying to
>>285278764I can't wait to see her animated when samurai remnant inevitably gets its anime adaptation.
>>285278844She's as cool as she is cute
Misato is the OG of this trope so she's the GOAT.
>>285277603Kawakami is nothing like that, she's incredibly feminine. She just comes off as curt sometimes because she's overworked.
>>285278881I think she looks really cool in a suit
>>285277603Yoruichi and Kuukaku fit the trope more than Rangiku.
>>285279108Her Remnants outfit is perfect
>>285278727>>285278764>>285279112ba/ss/ed
>>285279206
>>285277603Half of them barely fit that description. I feel like you don't need to categorieze everything to that extent. Some characters actually more rough without having to be put in a specific bracket of character archetype
Taiga Fujimura is so underrated
>>285278431liking sport is masculine tomboy can do sport or like it like a male watch a game on tv
>>285277666Wut
>>285279178true
>>285278992
>>285279869An Amerikini was the perfect choice for her too
>>285279750damn adult woman.... seduce an adult!!
>>285280271she can't help it
>>285277603>what do we think of this trope?we think that we need more of it
>>285280377tiger girls are so underrated, much better than cat girls
>>285280988True. Just don't call her tiger if you want to live.
>>285277603>she's crude, rude [...] and aggressiveThis is what turns the cute tomboy into a retarded dyke and almost none of the characters in the picture fit this description, thankfully.
>>285277603Horrible and you have mommy issues like Shinji if you like them
Now here's the question: should Ladettes be actually strong and capable characters who take action in the story, or should they remain in the background as civilians who occasionally need the MC to save them?
>>285281862Why not both? Strong and capable characters that take action but also not cringy girlboss and actually needs the MC to save them
>>285277666>>285277691Superficially similar but polar opposites in reality. Ladettes are lazy drunkards, tomboys are full of energy and love physical activity. The only thing they have in common is their crudeness, but tomboys are unconventionally feminine whereas ladettes lack femininity in general. Tomboys are easily flustered and seduced, while ladettes are more likely to be aggressive rapists. They are generally (but not always) hags.Anyway, yes I love ladettes, I'd let every girl in the OP rape me.
>>285281424mommy issues are based
>>285277603I love Vanessa and Rangiku
>>285279750
those aren't really good examples since only a few of them actually fit and if you dislike the term ladette because it's too western or tvtropesy, then just use otokomasari. annoyingly it's rarely used by the japanese, but it works
>>285277887Needless distinction
>>285277603Not one of those women are "hygienically challenged". A few may live like slobs, sure, but they groom properly.
>>285282713>whereas ladettes lack femininity in generalNone of the girls on OP pic lack femininity
>>285277666NoThe overlap is a lot more superficial than it seems Tomboys are God's gift to menLad-ettes are an ironic parody of his punishment to women
>>285283674Is that meant to be funny or are you really saying that without any irony
>>285277603Most of those characters have literally nothing in common beyond being female.
>>285283798Same. Bless alcohol loving, sexy, flirty hags.
>>285277666An Anego (姉御, あねご). They're usually weak to anal.
>>285281029New chapter never.
STINKYHAGPUSSY ANDASSHOLE
>>285285855dead serious
>>285283674Truth nuke
>>285277666No faggot can even give a consistent definition on the "lad-ette" nonsense, lmaoooo.
>>285277603>Misato Himeno Rangiku YukariThis trope kills me.
>>285288425At least she's maintaining her figureUnlike the retired flabby assassin who shits herself
>>285277603made for bed breaking sex
>>285287889Care to explain yourself
>>285277603Sex with Yukari sensei
>>285291280
>>285278727why would you fake being shy to a shota?that sounds retarded
>>285283561Pirate Baiken is so cool
>>285277603Oh, like a British Lad. I dunno how I never got that, I'm sure I first saw the trope name about 15 years ago. Just never clicked.
>>285277603modern men just want men with boobs
>>285295536Look at modern women and you can see why
>>285295007coolest
