What's the appeal of the yandere? Are there any well-characterised

>lol edgy
Perfect description.

>>154562129
People who like 2D characters with 3dpd personalities.

Mostly liked by kids and tumblr.

I'm not really into the lol edginess of yandere but I do like their extreme loyalty/devotion, I think that's what most people like about yandere.

Yanderes and good characterization aren't mutual. Trauma or loneliness can drive someone insane. See Carl Panzram.

Just about the only one that ever made sense to me.

My fantasy is curing a yandere from her madness with my shounen MC battle therapy before we start a healthy, normal relationship

>>154562129
Being so pathetic that the idea of a psychopath stalking you is attractive

Urumi from GTO is good. I like her arc.

For me it's about the depth of their love and the crazy things they'd do. And not all yanderekko are slashers.

>>154562129
Because they are cute and in some cases they are even gar.

>>154562129
Any archetype can be well characterized. Unfortunately most of it is just edgy shit. Normalfags seem to really like shit like yandere sim.

>read about Medea
>princess is turned yandere by the gods to aid the hero, who promises to love her forever
>she is the most dutiful waifu who helps him with his challenges, murders his enemies (including her family members) and is integral to his overall success
>he breaks his oath and gets fucked
My love for yanderekko increased ten-fold. Truly the dream of man.

I like violent/aggressive female characters but generic love interest killer is pretty terrible.

That's what I like about it. It's all-consuming, like a drug. Yandere love is the best kind of love.

Being so sexy that you drive a girl craycray

>>154562129
I love the thought of someone loving me so much that they'd go so far as to kill someone. It's sort of like the opposite of NTR, where they stay loyal to you and damn well make sure you do too.I wouldn't mind ending up as a stay at home husband with a yandere wife desu

Yanderes are terrible mothers.

Play School Days. I don't want to spoil it, but there's an actual believable yandere that makes you feel bad.

Meda is like HF Shirou if you put it that way

>>154563607
Yeah, no coincidence he's arguably the most popular Shirou, not counting EMIYA. People like that sort of crazy dedication to someone they love.

>basic level understanding:
They're just violent edgy girls lol
>begun on the path of yandereism:
It just feels good to have a girl that is absolutely devoted to you
>after many years of traveling and learning, having become a yandere lord
Yandere girls are, put simply, an extension of the "suspension bridge effect". But to expand on that, they are girls that make your heart beat faster than any other! Lovers of danger, those who hate the status quo. Men who have gotten absolutely sick of their boring lives and wish to throw it all away on a single gamble of love. That is the kind of person yandere is suited for.

I love the suspension bridge effect. Sex at the edge of cliffs or tall buildings is my fetish.
