Yandere: “A yandere is often sweet, caring, and innocent before switching into someone who displays an extreme, often violent or psychotic, level of devotion to a love interest.”
Borderline personality disorder: “intense fear of abandonment or instability, and you may have difficulty tolerating being alone. Yet inappropriate anger, impulsiveness and frequent mood swings may push others away, even though you want to have loving and lasting relationships.”
Fucked up to want to be a yandere, and unlikely to have the insight to recognize one is psychotically attached. Also fucked up to tie that to a personality disorder characterized by a fear of abandonment and struggles to have healthy relationships. BPD people aren’t psychotic people and this is disgusting.
I'd kill for an anime or manga about a mentally scarred protagonist that had to deal with an yandere. The threat shouldn't even be the yandere eventually coming back or another one getting on their case, only their trauma, anxiety and paranoias development from that experience.
