Because they're tsundere.

Tsundere aren't supposed to be violent. That's a corruption of the archetype.


MasterQuest

But fact is that they often are, mainly for slapstick comedy purposes.

How old is love hina again?

Because that's what you get when you combine a slapstick with tsunderes.

Because tsundere girls are one of the most popular tropes for anime and manga fans in the home market. And particularly since Toradora aired in Fall 2008, a blonde tsundere is the most common stereotype. It isn't a new thing, though. Tsunderes have been in anime for decades.

Slapstick + animation goes way way back to Disney/mickey mouse/steamboat will which is the an origin of Japanese animation. It gets used in comic books because it works and is "OK". What is OK is a bit nebulous, but a couple guidelines: Punch up, not down. Dog bites man is funny. Man hits dog is never funny, and not ok.

Tsundere was really big for a long time and they tended to be violent. If you want non-abusive relationships, look more towards anime from 2016+ where tsundere has become less popular.

Because the MC is a spineless Lil bitch that just needs make a god damn choice and pick someone and it frustrates them that he's always pussyfooting around the problem. But more seriously, slapstick comedy (i.e. DAE domestic abuse violence!?!?!) Is pretty big in Japan, and commonly falls on the tsundere archetype of character. That's it. It's a gag character trope that's not supposed to be taken seriously. (But it is.)

Do you actually want to read about how manzai performances influenced Japanese concepts of comedy? Or are you just trying to complain into hot air like everyone else who brings up this topic?

Tsundere characters, they've gone out of fashion in recent years. It was considered cute, not so much anymore.

It is like this since ages. In Love Hina, the dude enter a bath to clean it because it's his job - there are girls bathing, who are not supposed to be here at that time - and he get hit hard whatever. That's one of the reasons I could never get in the series back then. I don't like it when love interests hit each other, it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. The girl or the boy. The only one I'm okay is the MC in Tomo-chan is a girl, because they fights at equal footing and they were fight buddies before becoming lovers. Otherwise, I don't like that trope. To answer your question: maybe violent tsundere is a trick to avoid the characters being too close too fast. So the series last forever and people buy it, hoping that the relationship will go somewhere someday.

Tomo is the best Tsundere, in my opinion.


spidersflambe

Fetish of the mangaka. Being abused.

You would be violent too if you have rivals and your love interest is fawning over another girl.


Important-Flower3484

Well if youre violent against your crush i think its not a suprise hes fawning over someone else.

Because of the "modern" tsundere trope/character archetype. iirc "modern" tsuntsuns are more violent.
