Women have a variety of ways to show their indignation, displeasure, or what-have-you at something that offends them. In anime and manga, however, a girl has to do this without appearing threatening, mainly because the illustrator wants to convey that she's annoyed, irritated or objecting to what's going on without compromising her cuteness. Enter the Cute Indignant Girl Stance. There is no in-universe justification for this trope. It solely exists for Rule of Cute, and the body language itself is meant to emphasize this: Her arms will be straight and her hands balled into fists with her wrists bent at ninety-degree angles so as to project her fists outward in opposite directions; her shoulders will be bunched up to help emphasize this. Meanwhile, her facial expression, while conveying annoyance, displeasure, etc., will vary depending on the level of gravitas (or lack thereof) in the scene. She may be bent forward slightly, or she may not. Note that in-universe the female character's not trying to come across as anything; it's just the audience perceiving her as cute when she does this that makes her cute for doing so, simply because the illustrator thought she'd look cute this way. Any female character archetype can pull off this trope, though some are better at it than others; we wouldn't expect Xena or Wonder Woman to engage in this trope because they're badass warriors. This doesn't mean they can't do it however. Expect the Clingy Jealous Girl to do this as part of her schtick. Compare and contrast Coy, Girlish Flirt Pose. Needs More Examples. |

Blaz Blue Chrono Phantasma: in one Gag Reel where Ragna gets the Spectacles of Eros plastered onto him, when Noel sees Ragna act awkwardly when Celica says she likes Ragna (when he would deny other girls' confessions), Noel strikes this pose while being angry at Ragna (although we only see her hips and her right hand, visibly stretched down and angled sideways). | |

Occasionally employed by Tamara in Double Homework when she's at her most frustrated. If she's merely annoyed, she uses a folded arms pose instead. | |

Homestuck: In "Kanaya: Return to the core," tensions are running high when Eridan barges in. Feferi tries to smooth things over, but Eridan and Sollux insult each other and start a fight. Feferi appears (in cute sprite form) huffing and scowling ineffectually as they attack one another. This amplifies the Mood Whiplash that is the next scene. Moments later Sollux is One-Hit KO'd and Feferi is One Hit Killed. | |

In Act 1 Chapter 6 of Soul Eater: Troubled Souls, Claudia is described as assuming this pose ("Claudia stomped on the ground with one foot, both arms down, and her knuckles up") because her weapon meister, Caius, refuses to go shopping in Ireland after killing their target. Naturally, it's Played for Laughs. | |

Chivalry of a Failed Knight: In the manga adaptation, Stella Vermillion does this during Ikki's match with the Hunter. After Ikki takes a few of the Hunter's blows, the spectators start to look down on him, thinking he doesn't have talent. Stella has none of it and calls them out on it for only getting by on their natural talent and not being able to appreciate the hard work Ikki's put into honing his skills. | |

Yu-Gi-Oh!: Dark Magician Girl sports this trope (while floating) during the Virtual World Arc in response to Crump being a jerk and a pervert. Despite being the franchise's unofficial Sex Symbol, she's able to pull this trope off due to how adorable her expression is. | |

This occurs about once every two minutes in Ace Attorney when your cutesy female assistant inevitably gets cross with you. Most assistants have some variant on the theme, but the most typical are Maya and Rayfa. Gina Lestrade from The Great Ace Attorney tends to do this often as well. | |

This is Reisz's angry pose in Trials of Mana. It's downplayed as she's otherwise a mature, level-headed hero who has her temper in check. It's played straight with Angela whose character fits the bill better when she poses like this on occasion, most noticeably during one of her Class 4 strikes. | |

Sakurai does this in My Senpai Is Annoying when she gives her Valentine's Day chocolate to Kazama and he instantly jumps to the conclusion that it was just a courtesy gift without any deeper feelings to it (since this is after she's already dropped hints she's interested in him). | |
