What’s the YandereDev controversy about now?

Aside from the truth that YandereDev created a sport, Yandere Simulator, that sexualized minors (and also allowed you to play as characters who murder college kids) he also just lately looked as if it would threaten to dedicate suicide as a result of comparisons which have been made to his sport. A couple different games are almost similar to his and they are apparently much more subtle (coding-wise). People are criticizing YandereDev for "threatening to commit suicide" over his feelings of lack of confidence.

“Don’t you spot how harmful and damaging this is for me? If the price of Yandere Simulator was once ending a person’s lifestyles, I’d cancel construction,” YandereDev wrote.

One Twitter user defended YandereDev, pronouncing that the coder who made game that appeared so very similar to YandereDev's is accountable. “Imagine coding a whole sport just to make some man really feel like s--t on the web," he wrote. "I ponder how this may be able to be perceived as harassing behavior.”

However, predominantly, maximum believed that YandereDev was once within the wrong. Another Twitter user pointed out, “I'm generally actively towards cancel tradition, however excellent lord, if the guy's ego is too big to let him admit he is been within the incorrect then at this point, he's doing it to himself. Threatening suicide is the bottom of the low.”

I'm in most cases actively in opposition to cancel tradition, but excellent lord, if the fellow's ego is too big to let him admit he is been in the mistaken then at this point, he's doing it to himself. Threatening suicide is the bottom of the low.

Many have identified that games LoveSick and Watashi No Mono are mainly YandereDev “clones,” however that they’re of a better caliber in terms of coding. One Twitter consumer mentioned, “So let me get this immediately: his recreation has made no development over years reason he can’t code and even what is carried out runs like ass because spaghetti string code, however any time any person proclaims one thing remotely like YanSim he suicide baits to shut it down?”

That same year, he posted a lengthy Tumblr post that described a conversation he had with a girl named “N” who threatened to name him out on his behavior. He rationalized developing underage characters by pronouncing it’s best “implied” that his characters are sexually lively, however nowhere does it explicitly show the characters fascinated with sexual activities. 

He wrote, “On January 22nd, an individual contacted me to proportion her criticism of Yandere Simulator. She appeared to believe that Yandere Simulator contains depictions of underage characters in 'sexual situations'. There are no 'sexual scenarios' in Yandere Simulator; there are characters who make imprecise statements which indicate that they are sexually active out of doors of college, but there are no characters who engage in sexual job anyplace that the player can see them.”

He also claims that he did nothing mistaken for the reason that age of consent varies country through nation: 

“Banning the sport as a result of 'underage' characters in 'sexual situations' would be absurd for 2 causes: initially, there aren't any sexual eventualities visible anyplace within the recreation. Second of all, age of consent is other everywhere on this planet. In some international locations, it’s as top as 20. In different countries, it’s as little as 9.”

YandereDev has but to answer the backlash.
