Recently news dropped that a Japanese woman named Yuka Takaoka had stabbed her male friend, she had obsessive feelings for him which caused her to stab him
Yuka's response upon custody was "Since I loved him so much, I just couldn’t help it.".
I'm gonna ctrl+v my comment i made from the article:
"I'll be honest.
Yanderes are my thing, The idea of having significant other who is absolutely devoted to you to a massive fault. He/She would never cheat, and would care for your well being. Having a Yandere is like the ultimate loving power fantasy, but that's just a fantasy and as reality can attest to, it's absolutely an appalling situation.
This woman is mentally sick, and should not be fetishized but rather put to shame for her actions. Sadly I don't believe she cares what with how she smiles in the police car. No regrets was made in her decisions.
For anyone who likes Yanderes, please don't let something like this happen, sexual fantasy and reality should not mix like this, something like this should only be kept in doujins and should not be glorified and an ideal lover. And for anyone who will ridicule and demean those like me for liking a "waifu who murders", there no way to justify this woman's actions, I can not speak for anyone else, but I will never approve of taking a life to impress or "protect" another's."
With that said, I am officially disappointed with some of the people's reaction.
Of course there are those who understand the graveness what happened and to them I tip my non-existent fedora. However, some chose to idolize her and even drew fan art, at unprecedented speed. And this sickness me. and the quality also horrify me.
Please people, don't do this.
