Idk, I always felt the opposite. Touka is a character that I look at and don't know how she can not be interpreted as a tsundere (and I have no idea why it keeps being rejected like it's a bad thing, it's only an "archetype")

I'm not well versed will the "dere" personalities, but from what I can tell "kudere" run more on the "cool" side while tsundere run more on the "hot" side. Like if I had to choose one character that I thought was kudere, Yomo seems to fit the bill better. He seems cold and non caring at first, but then you find out that's not true as the story goes along. Touka is too much of a firecracker to be a kudere imo. She loses her temper and even at the end of the first story, Yomo wanted to help Touka grow up and "get rid of the self that threw tantrums". He's the "cold" to her "hot" and was chosen to take care of Touka after the Anteiku Raid because he can balance her out.

I think the tsundere characters that get a bad rep are the ones in romcoms or just strictly love interests (or just plane badly written). They didn't have this rep before and I'm not sure when it started...
