Levels of Yandere that you can accept

[おしゃもじ]

Nice to meet you. I'm generally tolerant of anything, but I don't particularly like double suicide or limb amputation.

 

[藍色水珠]

Actually, I can only accept yandere characters in 2D; I would never want to get close to them in the real world.

For example, Kanato Sakamaki 逆卷奏人from <<Diabolik Lovers>> is just too terrifying:


He appears innocent and naive, but in reality, he's extremely emotionally unstable, often yelling or breaking down in tears. He's even attacked and hurt the female protagonist, and considered turning her into a doll.

Judging by his appearance alone, he's actually the younger brother type—loves to be pampered and craves care and affection.

I'm ok with Kidnaping,drug,brainwashing, manipulation,locking you up in cage I don't like fake yandere sharing their girl and I hate stalker and sa and hurt MC physically

 

[khatruong1804]

Just being possessive is enough—there's no need to physically torment the main character.

 

[Lilia]

Generally any level of yandere is fine to me as long as the writing is on point.

My mind instantly went straight to Toma from Amnesia,help!

Honestly, Toma is the ultimate guilty pleasure yandere for me, even with the infamous cage incident lol. On paper, drugging someone and locking them up "for their own safety" is totally unhinged, but the way he shifts from the super sweet, caring childhood friend into full-on overprotective madness just works so well for the drama.

In real life?Please keep me far away from any cages. But in fiction and otome games?Is different story,i am open to any kind of yandereness,ranging from mild to brutal ones

 

[Qroha]

I can accept any type of the yandere. I would even like to see more of the extreme ones

 

[kamilya5]

being possessive

 

[Aikourou]

I would love for a more extreme yandere lis but I would draw the line on cheating

 

[Blind]

Actually, it's not a big deal for me, since I don't Self-insert as the protagonist. But I don't like it when a yandere character hurts the female lead and causes her real physical harm,that kind of thing. Still, it is just a game, so it's okay to have that too. I just hope there are multiple endings,for me, that kind of harm would count as a bad ending.

I actually quite like yandere characters in games, novels, or movies.If I ever encountered someone like that in real life, I'd stay as far away as possible.

 

[bugpudding]

I agree with a lot of other people about NTR, that's probably my big no when it comes to yanderes. I also kinda prefer yanderes who SH over harming the MC... A little bit of harm is ok unless I really like the yandere then a lot of harm is ok - like Makoto in Sweet Pool (if that even counts).

 

[bingtianxueyi]

I really can't stand yandere characters, but it seems like they have quite a large fan base.

 

[hana707]

I love the yandere troupe of course as long as it is fictional.

I know Toma is the iconic yandere but he isn't really that bad at all. In fact he feels pretty tame to me. I don't care if they are possessive or unhinged or even if they isolate the heroine from the rest of the world. As long as they do not harm the heroine then I am ok with it. I feel like if they truly loved the heroine they want them to be happy, protected, safe, and they'd do anything to do that even if it is building a empty cage to lock the both of them together.

I agree the repressed type of yandere is the best. My favorite character troupe is the fox type, sly. On the outside they are a gentleman, but they are truly unruly underneath their mask always watching the heroine's every move.
The term yandere seems to mean so many different troupes nowadays but I always feel like a yandere is a truly someone who will burn the world for an individual and rather than killing the heroine so no one gets her, he'd die with her so they never separate in death.

 

[raccoonNiko]

I'd actually love to see more extreme yanderes rather than characters who are just called that for being possesive. While not everything is for me and I do have my own preferences (NTR is the only thing where I draw the line lol), I can accept pretty much anything in fiction as long as the writing is good.

 

[O cha]

Physical violence is an absolute no for me. Even if it's just in a game, that's something I can't accept. Being confined is okay, though… because it's not real life, it's just a game, haha.

 

[a1045466329]

If I'm self-inserting as the heroine while playing, then yeah, a heavy yandere is definitely hard to accept.

 

[lolok222]

Getting hurt or dying is not okay. Other than that, I think it's fine......

 

[SmallEagle]

I like playing otomes with yanderes but cannot handle yandere characters at all.

What I mean is that I can read any type of yandere without problem, and actually enjoy reading them, but I treat it more like a thriller or horror rather than romance. And if the MC shows any sign of reciprocating the feelings I feel kinda like "Baby what is you doing? "

But I do find yandere characters fascinating, so I don't mind doing the romances, I suppose that it is more for morbid curiosity.

 

[Megha]

I'm not much of a fan of crazy yanderes, but I can accept the mild ones with no killing or locking up intents where they harm the MCs or isolate them or kill the people around them, etc

 

[nerim-w]

I'm not much of a fan of crazy yanderes, but I can accept the mild ones with no killing or locking up intents where they harm the MCs or isolate them or kill the people around them, etc

Same, I feel like im in the minority but as soon as I see a yandere tag im always like... this might not be for me but yall enjoy your cake though a little too obsessed but still lovey dovey? Ok fine. A physically abusive yandere who chops up your limbs and verbally abuses you? I might pass

 

[DoDoPopping]

I'm not really into yandere types who are very aggressive toward the heroine.
I prefer the more self-destructive type.

The kind who seem quiet and silent on the surface,
but actually have this deep, repressed black hole inside...
The way they express their feelings toward the heroine is like a dark, damp undercurrent of attachment,
subtly using their own cleverness to seek affection from her through their actions,
without ever coming across as intrusive or overbearing.

Personality-wise, they're very calculating and shrewd,
with a deep, guarded nature and a lot of things they keep hidden,
but when it comes to the heroine,
they put those very abilities to use in giving her the greatest tenderness they're capable of.

This type doesn't show up very often in what's out there,
but this is probably the kind of yandere that hits exactly the right spot for me in my imagination.

 

[chuubiey]

anything, but i can't accept abusive yandere thats just suck.

 

[shishy]

I can accept a lot, but not extreme physical abuse or mutilation. And cheating. Hate cheating. But pretending to cheat to get MC jealous is ok lol
Psychological manipulation, social and physical isolation are all okay in my books.

 

[BlackF]

Personally, I think I can accept almost any level of yandere as long as they're loyal and completely devoted. Like, if I'm going to choose a yandere, I want that "I'm yours and you're mine" kind of dynamic. He can be as intense as he wants, but the loyalty has to go both ways.
Basically: I'm ready to be his, but he better be mine ONLY.

 

[b3rryb3rry]

I care less for physical harm, especially done to the protagonist.
I like yanderes that are extremely possessive & idolise the protagonist :3
Also really good if they're shy/insecure, affectionate, obsessive, loyal etc.
