>>58698420girls hit their love interest in anime because
1. women in real life can get away with this without being decked in the face in retaliation
so it's kind of true to life
2. a large part of the way women select mates is by trying to filter suitors over and over and over until they select a mate that will act confident and not put up with all their bullshit (thereby dominating them and proving they are a protective male) - notice how in anime the way the tsundere arc always goes is that whenever the male protag suddenly acts confident and takes charge the female will swoon instantly and stop their abusive behavior
3. men in Japan are weak herbivore males that act submissive so the trope of 'passive male who doesn't advocate for themselves and puts up with female behavior' is common
>>58698582Teamates still act too deferential towards Ame though and still act like they have no life outside of Ame streams
the difference between Teamates and Brats for example is that with brats Bae knows that the brats world wouldn't be over without her, that she is still replaceable to them to an extent, that she still has to keep proving she is of value to them and that the brats don't take her too seriously
Teamates meanwhile give Ame the impression they have no life outside her streams, she is irreplaceable to them and they have no independent personality beyond their relation to her - because of this she does not respect them and thinks they are disgusting and unattractive on some level
