Make sure to read the character guidelines before adding any new characters. All characters listed who have been in love with, have a crush on, or are in a relationship with someone and are Thugdere for them will be marked with a heart (♥) next to their name. You can also see who this love interest is by dragging the cursor over the heart. Characters who are not romantic versions of this type, but are cute and affectionate towards friends/family must be marked with (platonic) or (familial) instead. |

"Thugdere" is a term for a thuggish character who often mistreats their love interest by harming them physically and emotionally to hide their true deredere feelings of affection. They do this because they think their sweet side makes them look weak, but they are also quite affectionate and lovey-dovey at times. After spending enough time with their love interest they will begin to be more honest with their feelings and show a more caring and affectionate side all the time.
This is not to be confused with:
- Ijimekko - A character who bullies someone weaker than them by physically, verbally, or psychologically abusing them.
