I really like yandere because:
1. They will never ever cheat on you forever, ever. I'm typically a person who hate being cheated and wont cheat.
2. They stalks you, yes, but that also means that they will know your personality even better and will try to give what you need.
3. They're possessive, yes, but as long as you can explain them if something won't harm relationship, that will be okay I guess.
4. They are typically a girl who will confess their feelings honestly, rather than tsundere that won't admit it, I like the one who can confess because well, I hardly can confess my feeling if the girl don't start it.

Well that's all, I wish there's a yandere IRL that will confess to me someday, having someone that obsessed with me is great ^^

I'm into yandere as well, but i'm thinking about making ,,family''
Would she kill child, beacuse it's get more attention or
treasure it as bond between them ?

I think if a yandere character is actually developed well, and their descent into obsession and bouts of manic insanity are somewhat justified instead of them being that way "just because" can make a show more interesting.

I mean, what is most likely the first thing people think of when Mirai Nikki is mentioned? Probably Yuno, right? Because no matter how overdone the whole survival game thing is, her character was well done and kinda rescued the anime imo.

When I think about it, most yandere characters are actually female- I can probably count the amount of prominent yandere males on one hand, and whenever they are introduced, they're seen in a more dangerous, abusive light than their female counterparts...like they're taking advantage of the weak, terrified girls they are pursuing. I guess female yandere characters are more romanticised? Probably because of the second class sex thing...like the belief that women can be powerful and intimidating to an extent, whilst still not having the same caliber of power as a man in the same position. In turn, this makes female yandere characters "safer" than male ones- the danger they emit makes them sexy, but not completely dangerous and unmanageable.

Were Yuno and Yukki's roles reversed, I feel like the situation would seem less attractive and even more abusive to a lot of people!

There are some female characters too much attracted to the MC that I like, but I don't know if I should classify them as yandere.
I despise anime girls like Yuno, though.

I think yanderes have to be compelling characters first. Like, she has to have a reason and strong character to be "yandere" and not just "TEEHEE, I LOVE YOU AND IM GONNA CHOP PEOPLE UP UNTIL YOU LOVE ME BACK TEEHEE".
Boring, cookie-cutter yandere isn't any fun.

I like the yandere characters who gradually becomes yandere or those who never knew they are one? Like one incident made them obnoxiously mental and all they could think about is their SENPAI or their LOVE and would do EVERYTHING, ANYTHING for them. Personally, I do not want them in real life because... just no. I can't even imagine it. But in series like everyone else has mentioned, it does add humor and makes it unpredictable lol because WHO KNOWS WHAT THEY WOULD DO NEXT as more horrible than what they did in the beginning, haha. I don't hate them, but some yandere characters are overdone that it makes me hate some series.

Yandere have an appeal to the ppl who want a relationship, but don't exactly know what they want. Yandere won't betray you unless u betray it. So I say, stay on the crazy b*tches side unless u wanna die.

I like watching their reactions usually. I like Yandere males, but its not really a big thing in japan and have only a handful of books/drama cds/visual novels/ and manga with MC male yanderes. I don't really LOVE female yanderes, but i think they're pretty interesting to see in an anime.

I love yanderes. The way they love is so intense. I'd date a yandere irl as long as they can function in society and not do things that could get them thrown into jail (i.e. Yoo Jung from Cheese in the Trap).

* It's also interesting to me, (psychology) and I also wonder if people like them actually exist IRL, which is possible tbh


I like yanderes because even though they're totally insane they're also exstremely bad-ass sometimes...

I think stalkers qualify as yanderes and overly-attached girl friends IRL:)

It's fine to like yandere characters, personally I like many of them, I like their personality,their unique reasons and behavior that make them yandere .especially when you,re interested in psychology it could be another reason, for me its important to understand character 100% or try to do that.. That's the reason I like yanderes. Its fun to watch that or read about that but if you want yandere girlfriend or you are dreaming to meet yandere in real life - you have a problem xD .

I don't now what you have against Yandere.
Yandere are the best Women you can have also in Real life.

The advantage of Yandere is clearly. Shey would be everytimes close to you. She want to get to know you. She is stalking you. You never need to worry shey could cheat on you or call it a day.

I see only positive characteristics.

So where is the problem?

Yandere is one of my favorite tropes, for the same reason I like most psychological characters. But in the end that's all it really is, just a trope. Definitely not something that would be at all a good thing irl, I sort of understand the appeal that they are extremely loyal to their obsession but I think it should be obvious that if someone was that obsessive irl they would get locked up pretty fast, lol. It's a great archetype when used in the right way but just having someone killing people off out of pure jealousy, or killing off compettition ect. is petty in my opinion.

For me to really enjoy a yandere character i have to understand, at least to some extent, why they are that way. Another thing to consider is what defines yandere, to some that may mean they actually have to kill someone, and others it's used to define any character that obsesses over another character to the point of mental instability (My definition). An example of a yandere I think was done right is Ukyo from Amnesia, although him being defined as a yandere can be questioned because he's a case of split personality.

The most popular yandere is obviously Yuno Gasai who I have a love/hate perspective of her character, she has reasons behind what she does yet I personally don't think that they justify her actions, and while I do feel for her character, I can't really understand her. Overall I'd just say that it depends on how the writers want to portray said character that makes him/her likeable to me as a yandere arch-type.

Madness is one of my favourites themes in general, but yanderes usually are always the same. There are some exceptions but being mad because love is very stupid IMO. I prefer yangires or simply traumatized or mad people, They are mad or violent because of more "reallistic" reasons in most of the cases.
