"Chindere" (JP) is a term for a character who becomes deredere for their love interest's penis. They have an abnormally strong desire for the male lower body and will become instantly lovestruck and have a desire to do erotic acts with their love interest after seeing it, even if they were otherwise trying to hide their romantic feelings for them. It is through their love for their love interest's penis that they become deredere and start to have a more cute and romantic love towards them.
Etymology
Meaning of the Term
Chindere (チンデレ) is a combination of "chinchin" (チンチン), meaning "penis", and "deredere" (デレデレ), a mimetic word for "being lovestruck (overly affectionate, lovey-dovey, not hiding one's romantic feelings)".
Origin
The term originates from the 2011 erotic romance manga Chin☆Dere (JP). The story follows Tsukasa, an otokonoko who looks like a girl and is in love with his older brother. Tsukasa has a tsundere personality, but becomes deredere after seeing his brother.[2]
Localization
While the term is usually romanized in English as "chindere", it is also sometimes romanized as "tindere". The reason for this is that the Japanese kana "チ" is written as "ti" when using the traditional Japanese method of romanization, but written as "chi" when using the American Hepburn method of romanization. In both cases, the pronunciation is still "chi" which is why it's written as such in English, but in Japanese the "ch" sound is simply implied.[2][3]
