[Signal Boost] Please Read Before Supporting "Yandere Simulator"!

CW: Sexual Harassment, Child Abuse, Racism, LGBTQIA+ Phobia, Pedophilia, R*pe Mention, GG, and a shit ton of other things. 

Before I get the ball rolling on this submission, I want emphasize that this isn’t a critique of Yandere Simulator as a game. YanSim is still just a debug build, and although I do have quite a lot to say about it, I feel like those thoughts should be reserved for its own post.

This post (or rather- this submission) is going to focus (mostly) on Yandere Simulator's developer: EvaXephon, aka Alex Mahan. Most people know him simply as "Yandere Dev.“

The Short Version of This Post: Remember how ”Hatred“ was a horrible game created by horrible people? That’s basically what’s happening, but more anime.

Don’t get me wrong. It’s not like I actually know this EvaXephon dude irl. I’m just some rando’ on The Internet™ who’s been following the development of a silly meme-generating animu game. Heck,I've definitely made mistakes in the past, and I’m sure a quick google search would reveal some cringe-worthy, if not down-right offensive things I’ve said/done myself (especially from posts I’ve made over 5 years ago).

However, Yandere Dev is a person who’s been raising quite a few…red flags for me. The weirdly predacious, and potentially dangerous kind of red flags. At first I chalked it up to him just being a total weeb. But the more I learned about Alex, the more it started to feel like any talented young person could actually be in danger (either physically or emotionally) if they decided to offer their time and energy towards helping this person create their “vision”.

Basically, I just want fans to know what kind of person they’re getting involved with should they decide to offer Yandere Dev free volunteer work (or monetary donations). 

Here’s a list of things that Yandere Dev has said & done; some of which are actually quite recent:

Lesbophobic & transphobic slurs.

Defending pedophilia as just another sexual orientation. Although he would personally “execute” anyone for committing such a crime, he doesn’t seem to understand that grown men preying on under aged (or barely legal) girls isn’t so much about sexual orientation (or even the law!) but more about gross power imbalances and sexual abuse.

Sexual harassment is a core game mechanic that he won’t ever change for anyone, ever.

One of his sponsors uses a black sun as a way to represent themselves, and that sponsor in particular shows signs of being a white supremacist, if not an actual freaking Nazi. (Though honestly, there isn’t much of a difference??)

When criticized for his “ebola-chan” easter egg, this was his response.

(NSFW) Not only has he said that an lgbt character would be a ‘win for the SJW’s’, he’s also made fun of r*pe victims and seems to be pro-GG.

He’s written all of these gaming articles on Examiner. The thumbnails seem NSFW.

His rape fics are still readily available.

Baiting his chat room with a racially charged question and expecting a very racist answer.

Also:

Here’s a callout post by someone who used to do volunteer work for him.

From what I can tell, he seems to think that he can continue to get professional-quality work without commissioning or hiring a single artist Just So Long as he’s able to find gullible volunteers who are willing to work with him for free.

Speaking of free stuff, he’s also stolen un-credited assets from Miku Miku Dance & a hentai game called 3D Custom Girl. Even though I’m rather annoyed by this, it genuinely feels like small potatoes to me, especially when stacked up against all this other heinous shit.

Well, that, and he comes off as one of those right-wing, misogynistic, EdgeLord reactionary type of dudes. Y'know, the ones without a single ounce of self-awareness? The kind that prattle on and on about “The Es Jay Double-You’s”? But I mean I guess that’s pretty obvious, huh?

I know in my heart of hearts that Yandere Dev is going to find some way to spin this around so that he looks like The Real Victim Here. I also know that he will not apologize for any of this, not even the stuff he’s written a long time ago.

If you’re a fan of Yandere Simulator, you aren’t automatically a bad person. I get that the game does have its appeal. Some of you may even use the game as a way to cope with violent, intrusive thoughts. I’ve also seen some really diverse head-cannons, which is actually pretty awesome! But you are not obligated to defend Yandere Dev when he’s a grown man who won’t even take responsibility for his own actions!! 

You deserve a developer who actually holds themselves accountable, and owns up to their awful behavior. You deserve a developer who treats his fans like actual human beings, no matter what their race, gender, sex, orientation, etc.

Please feel free to reblog with additional comments, also any kind of signal boost would be most appreciated.

[stop-yanderedev-archive]

you have sent this message to us like 10 times within the span of a month why are you always begging for our attention

-Syd

Why do you always beg for money?

Anyways because I’m bitter and broke I could really use some help boosting my commissions post. I currently have an $85 dollar overdraft and I’m trying to raise money to cover that and help cover textbooks and supplies for next semester as well as food and basic necessities. Help a nb bi black woman out.

commissions

I also accept donations on paypal and cash.me but I would much MUCH rather be commissioned and have my commissions post spread around so I can find more paying work because I’m tired of begging.

As an avid Hitman player I gotta say that stealth games like that (and YanSim is literally just Hitman with anime aesthetic) depend upon difficulty, and precision. Alex keeps adding more difficulty trying to make the game feel more 'serious' and 'professional' but at this stage everything is clunky and there's not actually many different ways to successfully perform a kill. All this being ironic since lets be real people like YanSim for memes and comical mass murder by cute teen lolcrazy whaifoo

he keeps adding things that work in theory, but he cant execute them properly. either because hes lazy or hes a moron◇hades

[stop-yanderedev-archive]

I kinda want a yandere rival tbh. It would make the game harder, at least

the game is hard enough◇hades

[stop-yanderedev-archive]

It's great how much better random people sending in casual asks are at coming up with interesting and fun game concepts when Alex probably pondered this shit for a few days

This is a very bold assumption that he thinks at all-Syd

[stop-yanderedev-archive]

But how could those two anons forget about the cinnamon roll 9S????

I forgot about the Nier asks we've been getting for a second and kept staring at this ask wondering if this was a new YanSim character I haven't heard about-Syd

[stop-yanderedev-archive]

do y'all not like being called SJWs cause it's a negative connotation for people that get offended by everything at the expense of others, and getting angry and dramatically upset about even the littlest things

no but i sure do love honey-Syd

how many followers have y’all got these days

give me money so i can continue to live

hi! I’m a 17 year old autistic kid living in the UK. my PIP (disablility benefits) have been drastically reduced due to new government measures. despite my disability remainng exactly the same, i recieve far less money to support myself. i’m hunting for a job that will let me sit down while i work (a miracle, i know), but in the meantime: 

I have rent to pay (£120 to my mother - who will likely kick me out if i can’t make it by august 6. there are other places i could technicallly go, but i rather like my house, and my brother, and my cats)

I have meds to pay for by the end of the week, otherwise i’ll go into withdrawal, and my severe OCD will likely return (£12 by august 3)

this is a ~wishlist item~, but i could really use a wheelchair to deal with the pain and dizziness i feel from just standing up. i use a £5 cane. a wheelchair would set me back at least £80 that i don’t have right now.

i’m working on setting up writing commissions. if you can donate, just shoot me a message here or @sapphickido and i’ll make you a playlist, write you a fic, even an essay. thank you so much <3

Apparently the police system in the game is inconsistent with the Japans real police system. If someone is suspected of a crime, the police do not let them out of custody until they are ABSOLUTELY sure that they are not related to the crime. Yansim is basically just, “although someone saw you drag a body, you don’t look crazy, don’t have a weapon, nor are you covered in blood so you’re free to go :/“

I could be able to suspend my disbelief if it weren't for the fact that Alex is constantly trying to add logic and real-world mirrors to the game and continuously labels it as dark and realistic.-Syd

Alex: The reason Info-chan stays in a random ass classroom all day is because she uh blackmailed the headmaster with super secret information and he uh got scared and decided to uh give her a classroom all to herself

Me: Call her parents.

Alex: Well uh you see her dad is the uhhh journalist and he's away overseas doing fuck all and uh can't do anything to punish her and uh her mom died of childbirth so she's alone and uh independent

Me: Call the cops

Alex: Well you see the police have a law called the Stupid Bitch Clause where

#mod syd

[stop-yanderedev-archive]

i'm sure someone WOULD call info-chan's mother if it weren't for the fact that her mother died i believe during childbirth according to the tapes (i remember this from ike 2 years ago so soe details might be off)

THEY GOT COPS FOR A REASON-Syd

[stop-yanderedev-archive]

How old is Alex? I don’t have anything against grown people living with their parents but like.... Alex legit acts like a teenager

He just turned 30-Syd
