I have seen a couple yanderes that I though were REALLY cute, but once I find out that they are yandere its kind of a deal breaker for me. I get confused why some people still like them. I just want to know why you guys like yanderes, if they are your thing...

People shouldn't be, even the character the yandere wants to be with freaks out when they find she's a crazy psycho and only stays because they're forced to or threatened too.

Masochists like tsunderes.

They are often some of the most beautiful girls in their respective series for one. Two, they are often very tragic, so much so that all you wanna do is go over there and hug them, telling them that it's all gonna be ok. Plus, aside from tendencies, their tenacity and willingness to stick to their love is definitely a plus about them. Those are all of the less unorthodox reasons.

Some people have fetishes. Some just want to see a badass Paycho woman with a devotion, and wanna see themselves as that person being devoted to like some sort of self-insert protagonist. Hell, I'm attracted to some Yanderes for their physical beauty and character complexity rather than because they're psychotic and often badass. I mean, I'd be wierdneds out by one IRL, and would wanna find a way to make one that's devoted to me less likely to cut someone for making a backhanded comment at me or being close and jovial with me, but still.

I don't know why but I find them charming.

Probably because they would be able to help me fight off enemies. Yuno Gasai would be very helpful for that.

Don't get it either. Who in their right mind would want to have a psychotic murderer as their lover with the knowledge that they might even kill you out of jealousy?

As a girl, I am not attracted to them in the physical or emotional or sexual or whatever have you sense, but I find them to be badass and to create the most gore and violence and awesome madness/craziness whenever they exist in the series. In that sense, I like them. Though really, I like yangire more than yandere, because it goes a step further and removes the 'romance' part, and we have a character who is just pure madness (Alucard and Stein, anyone?) and kills/mutilates/dismembers whoever stands in their way without regards to morals. I don't know why, but they make a series more exciting (where appropriate obviously. I wouldn't want them in an SOL for example LEL).




I am forever your most devoted believer.

Post solved. Some people just feel so insecure about the other in a relationship and are so scared to lose them that knowing that the other is a yandere and would never leave their side is comforting. That's my best guess.

But yeah, in most cases it's just really freaking weird. Don't think too hard about it or you're going into AP Psychology from high school again.

A few reasons:

i) People are reluctant to accept relationships that seem "too good to be true". If you had a girl that was completely devoted to you, but with no catch (ie. they are not a psychotic murderer), you wouldn't want to accept the girl as she'd be too clingy, and even if you did the relationship would be boring. That's what makes yanderes and tsunderes top-tier waifu material.

ii) The juxtaposition of something incredibly cute and then incredibly edgy is exciting and surprising. For teenagers especially, this can be quite attractive.

iii) A small minority of yandere fans are masochists or have some weird knife/blood fetish.

i guess it probably has to do with the "obsession" and "devotion". personally i find them to be really annoying, reasonless, painfully annoying stalkers for the most part, who i want to shut their traps. but that's my opinion.

male psychopaths >>>>> fuckin' female yanderes. there are ways to create a "strong" female character without such blatantly creepy overtones.

I'm gay, and the reason I like them is because I love strong female characters and to be yandere you have to be strong (in order to kill or whatever). Plus I'm into more eccentric female character because they have a different vibe to them.

When it comes to guy characters (aka who I would date) I actually dislike yanderes. They are just unnecessary and unpleasant to look at. Yandere fits well with femininity so maybe if it's a girly guy (?) but otherwise I prefer confident men!

This is the correct answer regarding yanderes.

However, when it comes to tsunderes, there are people who are actually either liking them or putting up with them in real life.

Preferences and maybe, or maybe not, yanderes tend to mix things up/spice up an anime with bland *insert*deres out there that's why they got the spotlight, somehow

The idea to be wanted, desired, and needed has been one of the main fetishes in men since the dawn of time.

While I believe all people do truly desire this the offput is in what level you feel is optimal. Are you the kind of person who likes having to open jars for someone or the type of person who likes being the reason someone breaths?

Depends a bit, sometimes they're super possessive and violent like Louise in which case yes, but many tsunderes are just putting up a front and are actually submissive on the inside. Sooo yeah sometimes, can't really generalize them too much

Maybe you're a masochist and you like sadistic yandere (plural) because it fuels you inside. I can't explain why I like yandere... maybe because they're so devoted to their lovers? Better to be devoted than not.
"But they're devoted in a crazy way, how could you like that?!"
Well... It's hard to find such people in reality, so maybe some people are just into unrealistic things. You know, tsundere and all. People like things that aren't realistic.

Simple. Yanderes offer a much more stimulating relationship. Imagine love as a drug. A normal love is like using a low risk stimulus to enjoy a nice high. Eventually you come down and it's no big deal. Your just under stimulated again until your next high.

Now imagine Yandere love to be a much more extreme stimulus. One that sets your endorphins on fire. Then imagine coming down. The pure horror that awaits you on the other end of the spectrum is exciting. Losing yourself to another person. Supreme fatal dedication. Horrid intoxication. Imagine looking into those eerie love filled eyes. Those eyes that were crafted especially for you and you alone.

Because you don't need to do anything to make the relationship work, so yanderes are optimal fantasy material for lazy people. There is also the aspect of masochism as many people have described before.
But everyone knows that there aren't any yandere like that in real life. Just creeps with vaginas.

what does it have to do with masochism dude? you're thinking tsundere.

yandere girls dont want to torture their men or smack them around - they will die and kill for you.

they love you so much it makes them go CRAZY.

kinda hot honestly but i've had an experience like that irl and it gets exhausting FAST.

1) Because we want to be loved. It's not fair that only men get their reasoning clouded by hormones, and women are perfectly rational and just want you for your money.

2) Because she's pititable. I want to hug her and tell her she doesn't have to worry. Well, it worked out well for Ako from Netoge no Yome - she was almost sane by the end.

3) Because murder is the best solution to all of life's troubles! The world isn't becoming a better place on its own, you have to make it.

-More rare: speaking about archetype, tsundere, kuudere, oujou-san, dandere, genki etc... are pretty common but there are not that many Yandere.
-Stronger lead and personality, those psycho girls are way more interesting than the "Be-betsuni/Ba-baka" tsunderes.
-Fetischism (not that I am SM in real life but find it fun in anime)
-Generally speaking more interesting background and backstory
