Why do people like tsundere so much? Is it because it's funny? I know that's the reason I like it.

At the same time, I can see why people don't like it - too often, authors go down the route of having the tsundere beat up her love interest, to the point where it goes from funny to abusive. That's probably why even though I still like that character type, I much prefer the more subdued, calm and non-violent types. Does anyone feel the same way?

I dislike most of them cause they act illogical most of the time which makes me sob mathematically

I can like it if it's done well, but in many cases it's just an excuse to be violent or to prevent any sort of actual development which just turns obnoxious.

It's much more pleasing to see character development for a tsundere. See how much Taiga (of Toradora) change from the beginning and near the end. Or how much the relationship of Chitoge and Raku (of Nisekoi, which is what happens when two tsundere are asked to fake a relationship) change as the series goes on.

Sadly, most authors don't even bother. Sometimes, the anime adaptation turns up the tsun (sometimes too much), which turns people of. See Akane (Ranma 1/2), Sakura (Naruto) and Naru (Love Hina).

It depends of the type of Tsundere. The girls who goes from tsun-tsun to dere-dere are the more interesting. They start by being cold or harsh to their (future) love interest, then they warm up to them and shyly show them affection. This shows progress in the story. Like Taiga of course. Or Senjougahara (though she plays with the trope too).

The ones who shift between tsun and dere all the time are used to drag the story and are not as interesting.

Characters who never change, and in effect never have arcs, are generally less likeable or interesting to me. Why would I care about a character who's nothing but prickly as a front for being embarrassed about her feelings who remains that way from beginning to end? There's no payoff, it's just tossing in a stereotype and calling it a day.

One reason I like Gokujo Drops so much is that Yukio is like that to start with, and then the story goes deeper into why she's like that.

I found another reason I like tsundere

I... I just ended up here by coincidence! It doesn't means I like tsundere yuri or anything. It's not like I deliberately searched for this tag.
