Mesugaki (Japanese:メスガキ）原为一种针对年少女性的蔑称，在宅文化发酵下转变为Moe Attributes。
Introduction
雌小鬼（日语：メスガキ）是来自日语的舶来词，属于长久以来的称呼，原指针对年少女性的一种贬义侮辱性的称呼。由于是侮辱性的称呼，因此请在交流中注意使用。
一般被直译为“雌小鬼”，原词由 雌（メス）+ 小鬼（ガキ）二词组合而成。从词源可以看出具有十分的针对性，由 雌（メス）将对象锁定为女性，又将小鬼（ガキ）锁定为年纪较小的女性。
Originally a simple derogatory term, after the rise of otaku and manga culture, the meaning began to shift. In ACG discussions, the meaning has leaned more towards describing the ACG culture's "(Facing older individuals) young females who always maintain an arrogant, cocky, contemptuous, or teasing attitude" typical stereotypical characters. This "arrogance" may stem from a young person's desire for recognition from their elders, representing a manifestation of adolescent rebellion.
As a typical plot element, much like the TV series "Justice Bao" or "Mito Komon," villains are always taught a lesson after doing evil. In typical works related to the Mesugaki theme, such segments are usually arranged in the plot: being cocky and looking down on others → being taught a lesson by the person they looked down on → softening up.
Once a Mesugaki is "taught a lesson," they often soften up easily. After softening, they can no longer maintain their former cocky and arrogant image. Breaking through the "brat" outer shell and returning to their true nature, showing behavior appropriate for their age, this contrast is one of the charms of a Mesugaki. In certain contexts. It also seems to combine with the act of teaching a lesson to "Brat" this rare real-world aspiration.
Typical Image
The image of a Mesugaki:
- Young age, young female, sharing traits with the loli attribute.
- Always facing older individuals with an arrogant, cocky, contemptuous, or teasing attitude. Generally, the "older individual" is someone with a significant age gap, usually a working adult, but as the attribute became accepted and
generalized（ ）, scenarios with closer ages are now not uncommon.- Often calls people "
雑魚（ ）”.雑魚❤️~雑魚❤️~
- Often calls people "
- 高攻低防Or zero defense, they are always easily "disciplined" in various forms by subjects who are mentally more mature: from immediately softening up after a gentle headpat, to being lectured by elders with life experience, or being directly "disciplined" by elders usingphysicalmeans.
toTsundereSimilarities and differences
Due to their arrogant exterior and the revelation of their age-appropriate nature after being "disciplined," they manifest the "tsun" and "dere" process to a certain extent, sharing similarities with the tsundere archetype. Therefore, there are many characters whose attributes overlap as both "Mesugaki" and "Tsundere." However, strictly speaking, the two are not entirely the same.
- Similarities and differences between "Mesugaki" and "Tsundere":
- Targeting the "age gap"
- Mesugaki are more focused on acting "tsun" based on the "age gap" characteristic; whereas tsundere have fewer restrictions and can act "tsun" toward strangers or people they like. (Different target restrictions)
- Not necessarily "dere" after being disciplined
- The process is not entirely the same as the "dere" following the "tsun" in tsundere. Although most Mesugaki will enter a "softened" state after being disciplined, "softened" does not necessarily mean "bashful"; there are also cases where they remain defiant while being forced to admit they were "disciplined," etc.
toLittle DevilSimilarities and differences
Since both "Little Devils" and "Mesugaki" enjoy teasing people, many people confuse the two, but in reality, there are differences between them.
- Little Devils themselves might be relatively strong and have the capability to tease others; Mesugaki are very weak and can only bully zako, becoming obedient when they encounter a stronger opponent.
- People bullied by a Little Devil might want to be teased more, while people bullied by a Mesugaki only want to give her a good thrashing.
- Those who focus on Little Devils mainly enjoy the process of her teasing, while those who focus on Mesugaki mainly enjoy disciplining her.
- Little Devils can have lovers, whereas Mesugaki do not necessarily have them.
Make You Understand
"Make You Understand (Japanese:わからせ)" is a term derived from Mesugaki-themed works. As mentioned above, generally, Mesugaki-themed works will feature a character responsible for "correction."
Thus, the character in this role is also referred to as the "Make-You-Understand type (Japanese:わからせ系)", which carries metaphors such as "showing you how tough adults are," "letting you know the difference in life experience," "teaching you the ways of society," and so on.
Since the "lesson" is usually delivered through "rich life experience," and influenced by the target audience and gendered etymology, this role is mostly filled by older men, typically middle-agedUncleand other stereotypical figures.

Notes
- ↑ DLsite's countermeasures against the heavy-handed actions of credit card companiesBut it's of no use
- ↑ The difference between Mesugaki and Loli Bitch lies in the different meanings of "Gaki" (brat) and "Bitch," as well as the fact that the age range for Loli is generally younger than that of Gaki.
