User blog:SeiShii/Common Misconceptions About Yanderes- Real Yandere clears them up

So, I'm a Yandere, and In the past few years, I've seen a lot of misconceptions/myths about this particular archetype, the meaning of the term "Yandere" has changed.These are the two milestones for ruining The term Yandere

The first one being Yuno Gasai, From Future Diary/Mirai Nikki, this led to people believing that all Yanderes are serial killers, which is actually a really messed up misconception which will be touched upon later.

The second milestone is the Game "Yandere Simulator", I'll be explaining why, don't take this the wrong way, I really love this game, and there are many options to choose from to "eliminate" your rivals and one good thing about this is that the Protagonist need not kill, there are various non-lethal methods to get rid of your rivals. (Thanks YandereDev ^w^). This game also led to the term Yandere gaining a lot of attention.

So, first let me divide the Term "Yandere" into two categories: Obsessive Yanderes and Posessive Yanderes


 * An obsessive Yandere is more common in anime than in real life, Yuno Gasai and Ayano Aishi fall into this category, An obsessive Yandere just has one goal: being with their loved one, they can do ANYTHING, absolutely Anything to achieve this goal, they can even kill, it's like seeing colour in a black and white world.


 * A Posessive Yandere is more of a real life archetype, a possessive yandere’s goal is simply to be with the object of their affection - whether their target lives or dies is irrelevant to them, as long as the two of them are together. A possessive yandere usually thinks of their target as something like an object to be owned, even if it means owning their corpse as a way to “be with them forever.” Depending on how circumstances change, an obsessive yandere can turn into a possessive yandere, and vice versa. An example of this is Sengoku Nadeko. I'm a Posessive Yandere.

Now let me touch upon the common Yandere myths. And answer every one of them for you. (If I missed out any, please let me know)
