In January of this year, I realized that this video would eventually become necessary. I should have begun preparing it sooner, so I could have released it when I needed it the most. I wish this video had been ready back in June, but unfortunately, I wasn’t able to complete it until today.
After you’ve finished watching the video, please vote on this poll:
If that site is down, use this poll instead:

The artist who created the illustrations for this video is Hikari-NJ: https://www.deviantart.com/hikari-nj
Anyone hear like something breaking?? :O don’t worry it’s just my heart! :”D
From the beginning of the video when you said: Imagine yourself as […]. I knew that’s about you
I had a problm between those two options in a poll, because I want you to focus on a game, but throw it out of yourself is good… You’ll feel better if you do so, but I don’t know if i’m right and if it’ll really help you… I don’t mind about bad things/lies what gremlins said about you, I just want you to feel better… be yourself… making your dreams come true… I want for you everything good! That’s all.
Remember that you have us, YandereDev! We’re here for you and we’ll help you if you’ll need help!
…let me glue your heart really quick! ❤ 🙂
You are not the only one who feel this way. I'm glad to see some emphatic peeps here….
im with you guys this is a beautiful man who deserves your love and respect, everyone makes mistakes and we no one deserves to be tormented for it
I kinda felt that it was you,but that…I don’t understand how can some people be like this…you deserve WAY better,don’t forget your real supporters!(PS:sorry for the bad english Im french!)
…damn… this makes me so sad… He still is so affected by this stuff to make such a personal video and explain what’s going on behind the scenes… and even thinks about vanishing and throw away his awesome work, just to escape this nightmare…
Like I said in a comment before, don’t judge so easily. First try to walk in others shoes… Not only here but in everyday life as well… think twice before u judge the grumpy postman, the stressed out scolding mom or the rude old lady next door… everyone has a story. And no one deserves to be harassed or badmouthed…
Maybe some of u experienced similar situations… maybe not. Either way, be kind to each other…
We are here to enjoy the progress of yandere simulator, and support the development. Not for destruction…
I personally think Alex is a talented and really hard working cinnamon roll who has a hard time right now…
and off topic: I just love his voice. (could listen to him for hours :D)
Sorry again for my bad english (germans are only good at soccer :P)
I’m sorry, were they really going to fucking ruin one of the best games ever just because of personal crap so they decide to make youtube videos and lie about Yandere Dev? Like, I’ve been following this games development since I don’t know 2015? If it stops because of these jerks I don’t know I’d be flipping tables.
In the end it’s Alexs decision if they have the power to sabotage his hard work… but yeah, I totally agree with you if he decides to stop working on yan sim because of this circumstances… just because of some retarded bast**** which manipulate his wor so much….. we can flip tables together! And share a pizza and some swears afterward. But that’s the worst case scenario. Let’s hope he will find a way to deal with this bs…
Thanks dear, for sharing your opinion ❤
Hey Yandere Dev!
I guess this message never reaches you in person but I keep my hopes high so here I go:
I can imagen what you are going through and what the outcome in your life is, if you would stop with your project aka an awesome game.
I am an huge fan of the work and effort you put into your goal and it makes me want to work even harder on my personal goals. I understand that the statement you made here was a high risk for you so thank you for sharing it because I personally didnt really knew about the hate that is put against you and I dont really care what that might be.
The internet is a scary place. Everyone is hiding behind their false names and pictures. Making themselves feel better because they can’t handle ther own life’s and problems. Its always easyer to make other people feel and look bad. Noone is ever going to apologize for the way they treated one even though they know they where wrong.
I think for you its not really possible to just do something else or search for a different work. You always wanted to do this and you already made it so far with an huge amount of fans worldwide. I mean you can’t just work for in an different department or an other company because thats something that maybe only helps with bullies at that place. I know there is always someone who doesnt like you and/or what you do. I think the problem you are describing is way more insane that what I personally had to go through. In my case it went so bad it literally nearly killed me.
I know this sounds really childish and stupid but I am sure you have people in your personal life (even if its just one – one alone is enoug) that are on your side. Who know the real you. You need to keep them. Don’t shut yourself down. Don’t let your dreams stay dreams!
I will never understand why people are such big stupid bananas and I can sadly garantee you that the scars you reseved through this will stay and it will hurt long. Recovering from bullying YES bullying is hard. It doesnt matter for how long one had to suffer. It doesnt matter how many people where involved. It doesnt matter if it was over the internet or in real life. It doesnt matter if you know their faces or not. What matters is that it does to you.
Well to answare your questions.
How would I feel in this situation?
Dead inside.
What would I do to get out of it?
I would reach out even more. I would make everyone see the truth. Its up to them if they belive me or not. At least I need to try my best. I had my mouth shut for too long. AND I havent lost all my hope in humanity since I have already read quite some good comments on this video and some people even arguing with these stupid bananas.
How much do I think I could take?
I think I personally couldnt take it too much anymore and any longer.
I dont know for how long this is going on in your life. I was bullyid for 9 Years (incuding my home) It took me at least 3 years to overcome some fears and so on. Im still not compleatly recoverd and I probably never really will and you maybe will nether BUT you can treat yourself. Try out new stuff. when I started martial arts It made me feel like I am stonger. Maybe you should search for something that gives you more self esteem.
How long do I think I could last until I had enough?
not much longer?
Well I personally think that this point already is over, since you made a video about it. But If you dont tell anyone how should we know? Fight!
At what point would I consider abandoning my projet because its not worth the abuse I’m reseaving?
At the point where I feel like I am nothing anymore.
I think it would help if you could take a break. a break of the Internet. a break of the abuse. sooner or later it will destroy you. You as a Person. You are more important than the dream you have right now. You only exist this very one time. There is noone like you.
I think I made anger (over this bananas) go away by writing this.
Maybe somone even reads this and feels the same way or encouraged. I dont know.
Take care of yourself.
Haters can succ a Banana.
Love from Austria
I read it, very touching! And very truthful, you think the same as me.
Btw, I can talk German too, so!
Hast Du super geschrieben, ich denke das auch!
This was beautiful, and speaks to everyone in one way or another. Everything you said here about bullying and harassment is absolutely true. I’ve been in a similar situation too, and the only thing I found that really helps is talking about it. Things may suck right now, but the more you talk about how you feel and what’s going on, the more the fans can help and give you advice on how to deal with things like this, some of us, unfortunately, from personal experience. No one deserves to go through this
Dear YandereDev,
I know About this, I’ve told you indirectly about in a E-Mail sometime ago.
And, I can’t vote at your poll, it’s just “Maybe make it worse but better” or “make it better but worse”, I can’t take part at this poll, I’m very concerned About your future and your life now. More I can’t say, it’s too difficult for me to express it in a comment or in a E-Mail, whatever writing or talking about it isn’t easy at all for me, I would like to show it to you, but ist with my position right now, I cannot change anything about it.
Keep your Health in mind, though you could lose something for it.
Sincerely
N. t. D.
I guess I’m the odd man out. Yandere Dev rocks and I want him to keep working on the game *AND* I’d like to know what the accusations are, because until he released that video I didn’t know some pack of fools were even making accusations. If they wind up being something really, really stupid like “Yandere Dev was once sent to detention when he was in high school. He is literally Hitler.” then some email addresses need to be published so that the rest of us can “enlighten” these critics to their stupidity.
While I’m not saying the accusations are necessary true, there are a few that are very concerning to me and many other members of the fanbase who do *not* endorse the harassment of Dev but still aren’t sure whether or not they are true. I won’t name them here, but they are pretty bad, and, contrary to what seem to be dev’s belief, there really are a large portion of people who would support him again if he acknowledged his mistakes and apologised to the aggrieved party while moving on to better himself, or if it really is a misunderstanding, simply clear it up.
Don’t dismiss all critics as mindless haters, since you’re just splitting the fanbase further, and divulging the attention away from where it needs to be- towards the betterment of yandere simulator and making sure no-one is mindlessley harassing Dev.
I hope this didn’t sound too ranty, but I feel like it’s really important for this to be out here.
everyone has already fucked up in life, but no one wants to admit it, but likes to mock other people for what they’ve done in the past, no one has the moral to talk about anybody, this piece of human junk hiding behind a computer or cell phone does not see his face in the mirror, yanderedev continue to develop his game, my heart is torn in the middle just thinking about the sad face of Ayano being thrown in the trash along with the population of Akademi high school, I love yandere simulator despite not rolling in my PC I love it anyway, continue your project I want to see yandere simulator being announced on steam and for playstation 4 or 5 and other consoles, kisses love you, be strong and finish the development of “YANDERE SIMULATOR, LOVE SICK”
Thats why you should never EVER care about that haters and so called sjws, they are trash, not people… (¬､¬) Dont care about drama, just work on the game, in your situation i’d do that. You are not a celebrity, you are a game developer, its not your personality or your private posts should be judge but your game which you are making. If someone talk trash about your looks or what you are doing with your free time, or where are you living, or if you single, or if you religious, or if are you vegetarian, or if you likes mature womans body – just ignore it! All of them are pathetic and rotten people who dont have their own lives. I’ve read some of tumblr hate blogs and most of them are underaged ugly kids who comments your looks, make funny of you, making themselves looks like victims of bully (if they are really are then I think its because of theirs rotten personalities). ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
So cheer up YanDev! People support you and will continiue to support you! (*ゝω・)ﾉ
What does a Social justice warrior have to do with this?
The real solution is surrunding yourself with people that truely love you and believe in yourself.
It’s easy to say “don’t give up, believe in you!” but there are times when this is not enough.
I can tell you that I heard about this type of rumors so many times during these years but I still saw people commited to you and your ideas, and I as well didn’t give a s*it about it! I don’t know you and I’ll never will, but I like your game and your work. You should be judge just on that, but that’s not how it really works, we all know that unfortunately.
I can tell you that I really like this game and I would feel bad if you dropped it.
But mine and all of this comments are just opinion from online people. Just like all the hate, even this “love” it’s just online! You might smile, but you’ll never be happy this way.
You said “imagine yourself in this situation”, well I don’t need to because I’ve been trought so many things as well in my life.. and the true source of my strenght and happiness is the love I always received from my family and friends. That’s what you should be focusing on, it’s not gonna be easy or fast, but that’s our nature. Plus I would highly recommend you to search help from professional figures if you keep feeling depressed this way. It’s not healthy and even if I don’t know you, I feel empathy (like all these comments) and I want you to be better.
Always take care of you and your mental health
Even though I feel what most people feel I’ll be honest, do what you feel like doing… If you think is not worth it, if you feel so harassed until the point you start becoming someone you don’t want to be, stop it.
Don’t give up your dreams and even if you decide to, don’t worry about letting people down, your real fans, people that really care will accept.
Regardless, I will support the decision you make. For years your game has entertained me, I couldn’t thank you enough.
We love you! And I’m making a pattern to support you. I usually don’t do this but I feel the need to support you xxx
I meant patreon*
Yandere Dev! dont give up! I for one will never become a gremlins! you can trust me on that
And i wil fight your honrer to death.
Heck even if all contrys in the world band you game, and even if everyone out there truned against you, i would still be there to play your game! that is my vow.
Im game deve myself ( or working to be) and you have inspired me more than anyone! I can see the work you made and the time it has taken, DO NOT let the fakes drag you down! YOU ARE AWESOME! and you continue TO BE AWESOME!
This video is so great, it because you highlighting one of the biggest and ugliest problems with the net!.
And gremlins is now a word, thank you for defining them.
WE NEED MORE SUPPORT FOR THIS MANE! WE NEED TO FIGHT THE GREMLIN’S!!
You asked me what I’d do,
you asked me what I’d choose.
I took my eyes and put them within you,
I left and found myself weak and bruised.
I’d crumble to the floor,
And cry to myself:
“Why is there more?”
And bang on a shelf.
But then would fall
the picture of everything.
Friends, family, me, and all,
I’m reminded this is nothing.
Worse is to come, I think.
My heart would sink.
But I stand from the floor,
Still crying some more.
Clutching my little picture,
I face the crowd and my demons.
Leaning forward, they all whisper,
“You fool, we’ve already won.”
“We know you, you see.
You can’t face the storm.”
But I smile at them silently,
That alone makes me warm.
“But I am the storm.”
Yandev, I figured you needed this. Being depressed isn’t fun, but you gotta fight the world sometimes. Easier said than done, I know, but even so, you and the storm- wait, “and”? How about “are”? YOU are the storm, but that doesn’t mean you stand alone. We’re here for you!
The storm, if anyone needs clarification, is the troubles and bumps in life. There are two ways to get out of it: Get through it, or BECOME it. Fighting everything is hard, but when you believe something has so much power, that’s how much power they’ll have. But if YOU are the storm, then there’s nothing worthy to fight at all. There is no storm. YOU are the fight. YOU will always win if you are the fight, because there’ll never be one.
You got this, Yandev! YOU GOT THIIISSSSS!!!!
So…. what will happen now?
It’s really a shame seeing that 34.000 people want to see videos debunking all the rumors and gossip… It could be a good thing for everyone who knows about those rumors and gossip (or not, like me (I only saw some video titles about YandereDev being lazy, nothing else)), and those “gremlins” (or at least an amount of them) could turn into people who support YandereDev again, but what if it’s not a good thing? It could make it worse, and it would be a waste of time and a bad decision…
YandereDev says in a lot of videos “I’ve been working on this thing, or that other thing” and he makes progress. He did a lot of videos explaining why the game takes so long to finish, or why something is not working correctly. He also did videos debunking some rumors explaining “this feature took a lot of time to finish because of this”. He spent a lot of time explaining those things, and people still believe those rumors and gossip. Hell, he’s not a robot, he’s human, if he wants to take a day or 2 to play games or watch anime or whatever, he can. He makes enough progress to do that. I’m working on a story, but I touch it once in 3-5 months (I’ve been working on it like 5 years now), but every time I write I spend like 30 hours and I make a lot of progress. I’m working in a role-playing forum too, and we make 1 year next month. I write the rules and the story, and I write those things like twice in a month because I can’t or I don’t feel like it, but I don’t care, because when I write, I do the work of a week or more. Sure, we could have opened the forum 6 months ago, but we don’t care, because we came up with many new ideas and we improved several things in the meantime. Maybe some people will ask why it took a year to open the forum, and maybe we’ll say some true things and some not so true things, but the result will be amazing for us and anyone will know why it really took a year to finish.
tl;dr – YandereDev is a freaking human, not a machine. Let him work correctly, and if he wants to take a day or 2 to rest, he can (it is said that even God doesn’t work on sundays, right?). He works A LOT on the game and it’s the only one working on it (and volunteers, of course). He makes a lot of progress, he explains why it takes so long to finish something, he cares about the fanbase (so much that he made several videos debunking rumors, and it’s consuming him). Do you want to support him and see this game finished? Welcome to this amazing fanbase! You believe in the rumors and gossip about YandereDev being lazy and some other things? Then this is not your place; go and waste your time in something else, not here. There are people who cares about YandereDev and the game, we’re not here to waste someone’s time, we’re here to support everyone involved in this project.
PD: This is out of context, but I want to say it XD Every single day I check this website to see if there’s any video or update or something. I don’t mail YandereDev to cheer him up, neither I post a comment in this website or in a YouTube video (I think this is the first comment I post in like 3-4 years). YandereDev, if you read this, all I want to say is that you have my support to the end of the project and beyond (I could say I support you from the shadows, but that’s a little bit cringy; still, you get the point XD). Don’t listen to the rumors and gossip, and don’t try to face them, it’s even worse (for you and the project). Whatever you decide, you have all my support. Thank you for working in the development of Yandere Simulator.
“YandereDev is a freaking human, not a machine” “Don’t listen to the rumors and gossip” You just summarized almost everyone’s case on this freaking website. Well played.
However, it looks like it hits him hard. Honestly? Smudging someone’s rep never feels good. Even if you ignore it, you still end up getting the consequences of it all.
It sucks, like, big time. I just wish people could find something else to do… play monopoly… learn a language… do charity… schoolwork… write a book… ANYTHING other than make people feel bad. This is why I hate people most of the time. UGH.
The “Well played” part sounds like sarcasm, but what you say next tells me it’s not… I think XD
I know it hits him hard. I’ve been in a similar situation back in school 7 years ago when I was 15 (but not this hard obviously) and even ignoring what some people were saying about me and how some of those treated me, there was a point (near the end of the course) where I wanted to explode, but deep inside me, I didn’t want to. Fortunately, I didn’t explode and the course ended, and my mother broke up with his boyfriend, so she took me and my brother and went back to the city we were before and where we are now XD. I went to a new school and I met some new and old friends, and let’s say I “beat the darkness within me” and I turned into the real person I am. I empathize with those who suffer, and if I can help, I’ll do it.
I don’t write comments like the one above or anything (I could say the fanbase does the job for me, or because I’m not good at this or I have to write something that I don’t usually write or I simply want to avoid these situations), but in this case, I had the feeling to do it, even if YandereDev doesn’t see my comment XD
I don’t know why people are doing this to him, maybe because they had a lot of hype for the game, and seeing that the progress is slow and that he sometimes is live on Twitch or something, may turned them into this “gremlins”. Still, that’s not a excuse to do what they’re doing to him. They should’ve stayed out of the game development and did something else, like play chess, or if you want to talk trash to someone, play CoD, but don’t create “The Haters’ Corner” and then the “Gremlins’ Dungeon”.
There will always be someone who doesn’t like you and someone who wants to talk trash about you, even if that destroys something you’re working on. Even the best human being in the world has haters, but you can’t deal with them, just accept they exist. You said “This is why I hate people most of the time”, that makes you one of them, even if you’re in the good side, and that’s sad…
It’s not that I want him to really make the video, but it’s like this man is single-handedly making a great game…and yet these douchebags are trying to make videos of him saying “Why he’s a bad developer” or “The harsh truth about Yandere Dev” like just stop it would suck that people who have followed this game up to this point are all disappointed because Yandere Dev decides to stop working on Yandere Simulator because of this stupid backlash and accusations. I would personally want him to make a video of debunking this bull crap because it’s like you gotta be like Michaela Laws. Remember what she said to Ayano in the rap battle, “I DON’T GIVE A F*CK, I DO WHAT I WANT, BOO!”
(before we begin this giant long speach that I’m about to say, please, think of how YandereDev feels. He’s a very great person, and let’s all just hope that he will be alright.)
A long time ago (2014, so 4 years ago, not to long…) there was a time when we all thought that Yandere Simulator was going to be at least decent or less than decent. But throughout the years, we’ve been proven wrong. Yandere Simulator is great, and so is YandereDev. But, there will always be those haters. My heart is torn by the fact that people decide to go around and stick their awful noses into this poor man’s life and buisness without his perrmission just so they can make mean statements on him. Give him a break! He’s just working hard on this game, but you are never grateful about it. So what if there’s a large amount of YandereDev supporters? There’s still those who will use nasty lies or truths to shut him down, and that’s not right. If you want to help YandereDev, give him time with things like Osana (let’s be honest, SNAP Mode seems much more exciting than Osana) and the ability to join the Delinquents or the Student Council if you want to. If you’re here to write trash and say things like, “OH $#!T! YANDEREDEV REMOVED THE RAINBOW SIX GIRLS AND BOYS! Better write trash about him so he’ll have a bad reputation!” go into your closet and think to yourself, and watch some relaxing ASMR videos by Jeffree Star (so, so satysfing) or just take a nice long nap to cool yourself down. Just be grateful that we have YandereDev in our lives (and his sweet, soothing voice *tries to make more ASMRs with YandereDev’s voice* I’m weird, kill me.) If you ever feel like YandereDev is doing bad at the game’s development, please don’t get raged and go on to Facebook or Twitter or Tumblr or Reddit or Youtube and write f### about him, that’ll just make you look like the bad guy. And now, YandereDev, if you ever feel alone in this, know that you’re not. Your supporters and I are here for you. *plays clapping sounds in the backround* Also, YandereDev, you mentioned something about getting depressed in your video, well, that happened to me when I was in 6th grade. I was talking about something with my friends, and I said “Yeah, Sean’s a f###### pervert!” then, I got trash talked about. And I still have depression from that (I’m a senior in high school now, you’d think it be gone. I almost k…yeah, not saying that…). But it’s ok, YandereDev, we’re here for you every step of the way. We love you YandereDev! Keep up the good work!
Sincerely,
Nessie Yanika.
the people who don’t care are obviously gremlins because they want to gather up more news to spread gossip and rumors.
Sigh…people only rely on hate-based opinions and negative proof… when will people learn to put a stop to this…
Keep going Yandere Dev…don’t let the people push you down…
I already released this as a comment on Youtube, but, i’ll leave it here if you need it:
Dear Yandere Dev:
I know I can’t actually understand what you’re going through, it would be really insensitive for me to say “it’s no big deal, you shouldn’t pay attention to it” not only the game’s at stake, so is your mental health. I hate to see you’re going through this, I actually don’t care about the gossiping, I know it’s not true; I believe you’re a serious, dedicated, hard working man who only wants the best for his project; but I know it’s almost impossible to make gremlins understand that, they don’t care, they are coward and stupid, and public humiliation it’s never fun or acceptable.
I’d understand if the game’s development is paused, it’s really hard to work if you’re depressed and harassed, I think is good for you to take a break for a while, but obviously I don’t really know your priorities and I don’t know if you actually can; the solution is not easy, with them it never is, the only thing I can tell you is “don’t give up” but of course it’s really hard.
I hope that this will not affect you and your future.
Someone told me, “Haters will hate you. And there’s no logical reason. Don’t waste your energy for thinking about ‘reason why’.”
Someday, after you finish the development, you can sue them. Seriously, SUE THEM.
Sorry for bad english.
You can’t sue such a large group of people.
I am copying this thought from YouTube because I really want this to be said.
“The poll(From the time of writing) seems to be swaying towards the ‘don’t do anything’ side, and allow me to say that is quite possibly one of the worst ideas. Who cares if the game will be delayed because you addressed the opposition, a person’s well being and mental state is more important then a project, no matter how long. If you truly wish to sway the ‘gremlins’ back to your side you need to prove definitively that their way of thinking is false. Obviously you can’t have everyone on your side, there will always be a portion of people that wish for you to fail, because that’s just human nature. However making videos that address this will allow the people who now oppose you to realize that they were wrong with their judgement.”
There is many people that might want you to keep working on the game but me and many people want you to tell us what is happening keeping it pent up could really effect you to the point of death. Many people want to know what is happening even if I have had selfish thoughts about “when is he gonna upload the next major build” I still thought about how much work it must take. You devote your work to this game that might or might not ever be finished. No one will know what will happen but because of these negative thoughts in people it will bring you down so you need someone that will listen im a lazy person i probably would be to lazy to do all the work you do. That makes you better then me i like to help people feel better then they did before they met me/read about me i and many people here will listen to you and will understand. Cause i bet most of us have had something like that effect there lifes my whole grade still thinks im the same person i was back in 3rd grade the girl that used to chase boys. I have given up on friends i have only 3 good friends no more no less but even tho im like that i can talk like this because people dont know me that great and i know it would be stupid for people to get to know me. Remember people are here for you yandere dev even if you dont think so believe me and all the people that want to hear your problems take a break get a tharapist talk to someone about all of this it will make you feel better. Remember this people need breaks as well and if this does not get to you then ill post a youtube video ill post on many things to bring attention that many people are being jerks ill try to help change the way they look at you. it could be they were treated like this so they want others to suffer because went one suffers many suffers i have a kind soul that will send help and try to make everything better you just gotta try to get better best of luck.

Unfortunately I lack the time to make a long positive reply so I hope this is enough.
I honestly look up to you man when I see your work I feel like maybe one day I’ll be able to make games too. I understand its hard but I feel like after this video you are going to receive a permanent backing that will fight off whatever these “Gremlins” say.
Haters gonna hate, Ducks gonna quack. Don’t push yourself too hard and make sure rest your back.
You got this man.
I’m attempting to post this on YouTube as well in case he doesn’t see it here. Lord knows if it’ll load though as the comment is die-hard long and it’s taking forever to load. I don’t even know if he’ll see it anywhere, or if YT will just outright decline it, but…
Apologies, as this will be an exceptionally, exceptionally long message. If this is too long, just let me know, and I’ll try and shorten it. And please take all of this with a grain of salt. I’m not a professional, and I greatly recommend seeing one if it’s very dire. If it can’t be done for whatever reason, then try to lean on the shoulder of someone you love for a while, providing they’re also not in a severe struggle.
Now I’m not going to start off sounding very sentimental, let alone helpful, as it’s not in my personality and I’ve been through things that’s changed me, and not for the better (effecting my emotions as a result, as in, I’m not very emotional anymore, but I still care.) but I’ll be as truthful as I can. Do know that while I don’t like to be sentimental and I sometimes come off as insensitive, I do still care, so I’m going to attempt to bypass my lack of ability to feel much emotion at the moment so I can tell you what I believe and how I can relate to you. I usually get sentimental the deeper I get into it though.
It took me a day to get myself to watch the video after reading the other comments on WordPress due to my own emotional exhaustion, but when I saw what was going on, I decided to give it a look and see what’s going on. You’ve said many times for us to imagine ourselves in your situation. In all truth, I couldn’t really feel much. Why? Because I’ve been in situations that could emotionally match up to that, and I already know, from a long time ago, how you feel. It’s made me much more emotionally void than I probably would have been would those things never have happened, that’s why I didn’t have much of an emotional response, I simply can’t these days. I still feel empathy, remorse, love, stuff like that. But I’ve been having a harder time attempting to feel the negative emotions of others as right now my mind is very brittle and can’t take much more negativity, which put me in a kind of “emergency mode” until I finally have time to recover. Doesn’t help that I have actual mental disorders that make it worse or harder to handle.
Now I’m not trying to make this comment seem like it’s about me, this is about you, YandereDev, but let me tell you what put me in that situation so you can get a grasp of how I still understand you.
I nearly fainted on stage at 14 or 15, causing me to go into a 2-year-long state of paranoia and panic attacks.
I was bullied to the point I had to leave grade school permanently at age 16 (the bullying wen’t on long before then, since I was either in Elementary or Primary, I just finally snapped then), and transfer to an adult learning program to get my alternative high school diploma. That wasn’t the end though, not by far.
I was manipulated many times.
I was possibly nearly r*ped when I was 17 by an ex (not confirmed as I didn’t know his real intentions, he just kind of held me still in a way that it crossed my mind after he got angry for some reason.) And I learned he had a deep, heartfelt desire to do… dubious activities of which I will not name, should him and I have gotten married. (Not naming names as I have no desire to shame him.)
I lost a few family members in the short span of just a few years.
I had a phase where I was so afraid of fainting again, that I made myself mostly bed bound, I crap you not, for months, possibly over a year.
Then I had another anxiety phase, that’s still going on to this day for about 3 years, possibly going to 4, not sure, that happened right after. I don’t really want to talk about this one but what was once a severe anxiety disorder, is now a doubly severe anxiety disorder and I have moments where I can barely think about anything than what triggers it.
And these days, for some reason many people are looking to me for a solution to their own problems due to my kind nature, and it’s been overdone by absolute effing far because I allowed them to, I feel I can’t do otherwise, and finally as a result, my emotions began to leave me. I can still feel happiness about my own situations, love for others, and care (if it’s bad enough anyway, and this is). But I can’t feel sadness or even happiness for others anymore, as my mind finally hit its downfall. I have to force myself to show appreciation or happiness for them, and make my texts seem more enthusiastic than how I actually feel. I only find sanctuary in some fan stories I’ve had for years that I’m thinking about putting out to the public as either writing or comics in the future (but yes, alas, I fear repercussion, because hardly anyone cared or cares about my stories as much as I do, or at all). My fan stories are my world right now. It’s the only place I can feel at peace. It’s the only place I can be me. And it’s the only place I can escape from the horrors of my past and present. It’s like my wonderland.
But I have no time to recover and regain my senses for others back at the full force it used to be, because everyone is having their problems, and I feel it’s my duty to help them, or I may be viewed as a bad person who doesn’t care for others. I live in this fear all the time, so I know where you come from on that angle by far.
What’s the point of all this? To relay to you, YandereDev, that I know your pain, I know your struggle, and I know your suffering. What you’ve been through, I’ve been through (even if it’s not the same, it had equal impact). Suicide had crossed my mind multiple times when I was younger. But I was talked out of it because people convinced me I had a future, even if I felt, and still feel, that I don’t. The main reason I’m still here actually, is because of the people I love. They’re the reason I have for living, that and I want to keep my stories alive with me. Through my loved ones I was convinced that I want to experience what the world has to offer. Without the guide of those I love, I don’t exist. It’s sad, but I depend on others for my survival now. But some also depend on me for theirs, so it’s a real struggle sometimes.
YandereDev (is Alex your name?), I’m not saying you have to depend on others, and sometimes it’s not the healthy thing to do, but I’d be a hypocrite if I said you should never depend on others, and I do think, at times, especially times like this, you do. Maybe contact your friends and family and spend some time with them, vent to them and ask them to give you a, what they call, “pick-me-up”.
There’s not much I can suggest, as I honestly don’t know what I would do. I was kind of “rescued” in a way by others, I never defeated these on my own, that I can recall. I’m too weak to fight back, and too cowardly. But I do wish and pray to all the positive celestial beings that you have the strength to overcome, or for you to be sent a guide, whether spiritually or physically, to help you overcome. My guides, both living and not, helped me to have the strength to keep fighting until I get better, and I pray they can help you.
Right now, your life and survival is more important than the game, but if the game is your world, like my stories, and you find sanctuary in it, use your game to help.
And here’s a note for those who have caused YandereDev/Alex grief. I fear this will just give them the attention they want but I’m going to try anyway.
~For the bullies, I forgive you, and I hold no resentment as it’s not in my nature anymore, and I won’t call you “gremlins”, but ask yourselves this. Is it worth it to put a man in this situation for your own personal gain? Even if you truly believe those hateful things said about him, you only have so much to gain before it will come back to you. What goes around, comes around. What kind of happiness are you getting? Even if you have the world to gain, what do you have to gain deep inside besides satisfaction? Does it help you to survive? Does it help you deal with the root core of your own problems? Does it help you grow as a human? What happens when you lose this sense of “joy” and “fun”? If this is your life, what you live to do, when you lose this, what will you have if you’ve gained nothing that you can keep, such as a job, love, a family, true friends, yourself? These bodies of ours are frail, and we need more than sticks and stones to keep it together. Everyday we’re alive is a miracle. So ask yourself this. What happens when you lose the one thing that gives you pleasure? I can’t answer that, only you can.
But I have only one request, that you give YandereDev the peace he needs so that he can appreciate his life again and to not bring him down. Not just the game, but his entire life. He has a future, he has a life, he’s human just like you. Even if some or even the great majority of you won’t listen to this and will continue to believe the horrible things that may or may not be true or greatly exaggerated, I hope that it’ll touch at least some of you and help you to realize how life works, not just for you, but for others.~
And YandereDev, this part won’t exactly be what you want to hear, but I can’t answer the poll. That’s not something for me, or really any of us to decide. In all honesty, I really can’t answer that for you. You have to find the answer within yourself, what you believe is correct. Sometimes what helps me to decide is to weigh the pros and cons of each, and which ever has the most pros and least cons, use that option. But I would recommend seeing a professional. Don’t keep it boxed in, but make sure it doesn’t come back to bite you either. What I do suggest is don’t overwork yourself either.
Now I know words probably won’t do much of anything, but I’m hoping it’ll at least shed some light. I still hold true to myself that I didn’t feel much emotion while typing this, but I do know that it may help you, and that’s all I care about to be honest. I usually try to avoid these types of situations, or get involved. But something in me strongly said “you need to at least speak out with this one”, so I guess a big part of me felt pity and empathy deep in my head. I didn’t feel it, but I know it’s right. Like I said, I DO still care, it’s just hard for me to feel deep emotions right now, it shouldn’t be permanent, if I can finally recover. Even if I can’t return the feelings of happiness this may or may not give you, I still want you to be happy. I don’t want anyone to be an empty shell, I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy.
(P.S. I’m not any one religion, I’ve actually a very universal spiritual belief, so I believe and accept a little bit of everything so long as it focuses on love. Should just throw that out there as I did mention spiritualism. lol)
Best regards,

And one more thing, I can’t really say much about the harassment other than what I stated above, as I don’t really know what to do, but I’ll tell you what’s helped me, focusing on your “wonderland”. Tuning them out just for a few moments, and go to your dreamland to relax and “take a vacation” so to speak. It may just help you come to a realization of what you can do and what will help. Daydreaming has given me a lot of revelations, I’m hoping it will for you too. I’m not saying it’s guaranteed to work, but sometimes taking a bit of time to go to your wonderland and think to yourself some new ideas can help people. Maybe daydream a fictional story, and use the metaphors the story gives you to help you find courage, strength, confidence, and hope most of all.
Okay, I lied, another thing… lol
And I’m not a mainstream Christian (though I used to be, so I still have some knowledge), but I did just think of something that may really put “burning hot coals” on the heads of your bullies, stalkers, etc. Forgive them, and tell them you forgive them. And maybe try to act kind and calm around them, don’t try to defend yourself and become angry, be kind with a smile. You do that, they’re not going to know what to do and suddenly they may not find you very fun to torture anymore. They won’t find a reason (at least I hope not, anyway). I’ve never tested this out for myself to be honest, but by logic and figuring it out, I bet you it may actually work, even if just a little.
It actually, physically disgusts me how people can believe that someone is worth harassment and torture. They don’t know what it feels like to be harassed 24/7. They don’t know what it’s like to be swatted or shamed for something that is mostly not true or not at all relevant. You don’t have to throw away your work. You don’t have to disappear. You don’t need to do any of that. Just work hard, and take some breaks if you need to. You’re not their servant. You’re not someone who tends to their every beck and call. You are YandereDev, one of the most awesome people of all time! Don’t let the haters break your spirit! There are still many people who support you! The haters don’t know the REAL YandereDev. The good one. The kind one. The one who has worked his butt off since 2014 trying to make us happy. Please, do whatever you need to do to get through this. Don’t give up. We believe in you!
I’ve not been in YOUR situation before. There are few who can claim that. But I have been in many similar situations. My solution is always to rise above. Take all obnoxious criticism you receive and learn from them. Apply them to yourself as if they were real. How would you want to be if the criticism makes you say “No that’s not me.” Then just be better than it. Will it make it go away? No… nothing will you already mentioned that. Even giving up on your project won’t solve this. In a situation like that I double-down and focus on me. Be better than them. Meet all hatred with kindness, and all ridicule with laughter.
But realize you are far from alone. You still have a large fan base who enjoys what you’re doing, regardless of the criticism. The only point in focusing on the drama is to put yourself in a better headspace. You have very little ability to change the opinions of others. Stop trying to.
I say this with the most love i can for you, YandereDev. No one deserves the harrassment you’re receiveing. In the face of it though… stay on that horse, or get back on if you fall off. And rise above the crowd. Be better than them.
Yandere Dev I am so sorry that you’re going through so much torment. That’s completely unfair and I’m shocked at how many people don’t care about what you’re going through and only care about the game. You sound like you need to take some time off and try and relax. I know that would probably just make the gremlins worse but your mental and emotional health is important. No one deserves to be treated like this. Focus on yourself, those who are still loyal fans will understand that your own health is more important and everyone can wait a bit longer for developments in the game.
Actually those gremlins could be implemented in the game as students. They can be used to destroy the reputation of students, they or Yan-chan can follow the current target and gather more and more “information” they’ll need to destroy her reputation and ruin her image in Senpai’s eyes. They can even become an obstacle for Yan-chan, targeting her at first. The more strange activity that goes on at the school, they can blame her for it. They can follow her around, try and provoke her and take pictures of her when she least expects it and even get evidence against her if she acts suspiciously (whether laughing insanely or holding/doing something to harm or even kill someone).
It was just a thought, if you don’t like it you can ignore this.
To be honest, I don’t know?
/!\ I’m french, sorry for my mistakes ;-;
Honestly, I don’t care. You think that everyone is against you, but it’s wrong, as you can see. I’m not a fan, just a young girl very intresting about how is growing up Yandere sim. I’m of the major part of your public “totally silent” But now, it’s time to (Watch some cracks) spending time to tell a think that I don’t know if anyone will read.
The choice war clear : “continue de game” or “debunk the persons who trash at me” but how will it help to debunk them ? Like you said, they only want to see you burn, like Moriarty want to burn Sherlock. I’ve seen some videos of these people, and it’s true. Critics are free and sometimes violents. But.. As I could saw it on frenchs videasts, like Deolynk or Sora, they don’t very look to care about there opinion. People don’t following them everytime, they are in the total incomprehention. Like I was. But finally, I realize that I don’t care about the game, the futur about the game ou your own person (what ? You may need neutrals persons sometimes, here you have fans everywere, outide there is Grimlins/haters, I’m not a very bad little thing that should ” shut the fuck up her pretty mouth”).
Some person don’t get it, they didin’t thinking that was possibly to bully someone famous like “Yaaandere Deeeeeev’ *3*”. But people like, no, they LOVE from all of there heart to see people in misery, it’s might help to see them-self better, clearer, helpfull, that they are not alone in the pain. And people who deny it with powerfull words are the ones the most concerned, or they simply don’t realize it.
Last thing about the choice. “I don’t care, continue the game, slave”, “I care about you, my dear neighbour, tell me more about them, like this, I could make what they did to you, and be a good sheep, lovely hatefull !” what of the people who simply you to stop. To your fans like I’m a Linksthesun, Astronogeek, Antoine Daniel or Mathieu Sommet ? Stop it, take care about yourself, and come back, with the game.
To me, do what you wan’t YOU to do. I’m done. This post is end, good by, have a nice day sir ! :DD
This reminds me terribly of Xkit guy. For those unaware, Xkit guy was a guy on tumblr who had made it his personal mission to fix tumblrs bullshit updates with his coding skill. He always wanted to remain anonymous, and gave out the xkit fixes for free. It was a hobby, not a job.
Then for literally 0 reason, people started spreading rumours he was a pedophile, which caused a rush of hate and doxing to be directed at him, so he did the only logical thing. He left, no more xkit updates, no more fixes, no more xkit guy.
Yes he had plenty of fans that respected him and adored his work, plenty willing to donate to him as thanks. But just because of some ‘gremlins’ deciding to be shitstains, he was forced to leave.
No YandereDev, please do not say that, do not say you will abandon the project. I have been admiring your work since Kokona had tornadoes in his head and the incinerator was in the entrance of the school. This is what the Gremlins want … to see you destroyed and discouraged so that you abandon your project. Forget the past and look to the future. You have a very big fan group that supports you and we are always with you. Keep fighting and do not lose hope.
Atte: An admirer.
It’s probably better if you don’t start addressing gossip, it will just give you more and more work, also it might lead to you lying which might lead to even more drama. And who has so little problems in life that they actually want drama?
I do not understand why you do so much drama, just ignore those things, just turn off the internet and turn it on when you need resources from volunteers to continue the development of Yandere Simulator, when something bothers you on the internet you have to get out of it DAHHH, you can not pretend that disappear overnight the hate so absurd because hate will always be there with people who are based their lives handing out hate, because they do not know how to do something better. Follow the development stop using so many social networks and rely on those who really value your work, because they do not feed you.
I don’t know if you will even have the time to read this, but I still wanna tell you how I think about you and the situation, as you directly asked in video what I would do in your situation.
First of all: I never saw those hate videos, you were talking about, before, but after watching this video, I looked for them, watched a few and now they are everywhere in my recommended >.>
I think some of them aren’t so bad and only critizise certain aspects of the game. Things like issues with the code, but you already know about those and even addressed it it a few videos and blog posts, so that topic should be already clear. I know some youtubers and a lot commenters have a really harsh tone in their critics, some even don’t know how to be contructive with criticism, I really dislike that trend myself, but it’s something I would try not to worry too much about. You are responding to discussed topics, recognize flaws and explain misunderstandings. That’s more than what most developers do and I think you are doing a good job with that.
What really ticks me off are the type of videos that try to expose or ridicule you as a person. That is just spreading hate and has nothing to do with the game. Like they don’t even know you aside from your videos and they presumptuosly posting analyzes of you as a person on youtube? That’s just laughable. If I would be you, I would try to take down all videos that directly insult you as a person or encourage other people to hate you and stop supporting you. I would even consult a lawyer and discuss with him/her if there is anything you could do legally, because obiviously it’s having effects on your buisness. In germany something like this is prosecutable if you verifiably loose money and reputation from something like this. Also, in EU, you can tell google to enforce “the right to forget” and let them exclude any results about past things you want to be forgotten. But I don’t know what exactly is possible in the states in these regards.
On a more personal note: I don’t know if it’s a good idea to openly post videos like this one to over 2 million people. I really see where you coming from, it shows how desperate you are and I think it’s really really brave opening up to so many people, but I experienced it myself countless times: The way society and social interaction works in this word is harsh and unforgiving. By opening up to millions of people, you’ll get stabbed over and over again until you destroy yourself. i really really wish it would be different, but especially on the internet it’s even 10 times worse as people don’t think about consequences and just write or say whatever abusive thing comes to their mind.
In your case, I would stop posting videos about your personal feelings and instead gather people around me, who stand behind me and with who I feel nice and motivated with. You got to know soooo many people through this project, I’m sure there are more than enough people, who would listen to you and give you a hug. Hell, I would do if I wouldn’t live on the other side of the globe 🙂 I know what it feels like to feel like everyone is turning on you, trying to destroy you, so I’m trying everything to safe others from it. It’s always the kindest people, who are suffering the most.
Talk to a group of people, you can chat with or talk to and discuss things that depress or frustrate you, about this. Also, it’s not shameful to seek professional help. You carry a lot of pressure with you, wanting to meet everyones expectations, dealing with hate and humilation while forcing yourself to be productive. Professionals could give you lots of tips how to deal with that ina way you feel comfortable with.
And take a break if you are really feeling not good. I have those phases aswell, where I become really depressed for a few weeks.
Stop working, spontaniously meet up with some friends and go somewhere fun, so you are not sitting at home constantly thinking about your worries and fears.
I know you are concerned about the development time of the game, but you as a person always come first!
Btw. I didn’t choose any option in your poll, because I neither want you to ignore everything and continue working nor do I want you to address things and keep wasting more time because of those “gremlins”. I want you to be happy Yandere Dev and not sad Yandere Dev! Finishing the game comes after that.
Thank you for addressing the issue. I don’t even know what I’d do in your position. I hope things get better in the future.
Considering my bad experience with just regular old bullying at school I would not handle such a situation very well,
in fact I would say ca’t guarantee I won’t murder people very well… What I can say is that watching that video made me seriously angry
and probably ruined part of my day. Still watched it though because I am a fan and I at least somewhat care. I am not very
good at this whole social thing… Doesn’t mean I won’t try my best to understand and accept people and their problems and decisions,
regardless of how I feel personally about them. It’s not like you wronged me or anything. Personally I never heard any negative propaganda, won’t bother to look for anything like that, and even if I saw some would take such info with a grain of salt (or a lot)
as you should with all tings on the internet. In the end the only thing I can really say is: You do you, talk with some people who listen
and can actually talk back to you about this and know that if nothing else, this one here wo’t hold your choices against you, only the choices of those “Gremlins”, who I would prefer to not even give a name, not worth the attention nor effort. I just hope you can sort things out and get better in time, no one should have to deal with stuff like this (it should be punishable by law, screw freedom of expression and anonymity, not worth the damage that can cause to people because of carelessness or ignorance or even malice),
especially not a cool dude like yourself.
Anyways, angry rant is over.
I wish you all the best
Fan who normally just keeps quiet because aforementioned (minor) social awkwardness but couldn’t just let this stay like this.
About the video on YouTube about you – you don’t need these goblins to ask your point of view. You have enough resources to give your opinion exactly under each of their videos. Just write a detailed commentary from your point of view – your fans will like this comment and it will be the first to go after the video. Do this at least with the most popular videos. Yes, you will draw attention to them – but now there will be your version of the situation.
If you are worried about this situation, you must fight the goblins. And you are not alone – you have us, your fans, but you must guide us.
Here’s a recommendation. Don’t know if it will solve anything, but maybe it will make you feel better and help with building the game. You can have some of the mean things the goblins say be things Musume and her bullying friends say. In some of my fan fic, I got back at some people who bullied me by inserting them in the story. I didn’t even make them major villains. I had them be either brainless minions (every villain needs a few) or someone in the major villain’s backstory who tormented them until they snapped. I had one person’s screen name become future slang (yeah, my story had time travel) for a two-faced liar and hypocrite. Maybe some of the people who follow Hoshiko’s hate blog can have names similar to the worst of the gremlins. Maybe change the name slightly so you don’t get sued. Personally, I like to use anagrams.
Stay strong.
Going through High School, I had this “friend,” and whenever I stood up to her, she turned everyone against me. And How I dealt with that is the same way you did. Telling everyone about it. And even if she heard or watched me, she just watched and soon they actually got that what I was saying was the truth. So addressing what the problem is and saying that their “proof” that you are a bod person is complete BS. I hope that everything gets better and everything is going to be blown away.
Stay Strong Its hard but there is always light in dark and always hope in despair Take a break we understand I always gonna support you 💛🙆 Muuuuuuch lovee :3 Muuchh positive energieeeee 😊
Hey YanDev… It is so complicated. Many experts think without thinking, they don’t know what to say! Don’t know how this person must have passed and do such a thing… You must be going through. It’s always like this, when someone is doing well in life comes a demon to ruin everything!
But I tell you what, just follow your dreams. As Albert Einstein says: If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or things…
Know that you have many people in the world who play the your beautiful work! Type I…
I’m Brazilian, and know that your game take my stress …
Keep it up! Senpai DEV ^^
what no ignore it just ignore it the game and you are AMAZING and thats the truth
I’d fight like hell! Never surrender, I’d be pissed off and it wouldn’t take long to get there. But if it’s for something that I’ve worked years on and something that even in my worst days i want to be bug I would keep fighting. But if doubt, depression, tiredness I would most likely crumble. But if I’m going to fail anyway why not fail while fighting like hell? I mean even in the nothingness and void of those dark thoughts there IS most DEFIANTLY a way out. I’ve gotten out before, vie crumbled before. But even if i crumble but thees even a 0.0000000001 chance my creation could survive I’d fight. I’ve done this with a story I’m writing (its just for fun but hopefully one day i can get it publishes it needs lots of work) And I’ve fought against these negative feelings many times in the short time I’ve been working on it but every time i fight i end up getting past ad continue with my work, proud that I’m still doing something that I have passion and love for. Please Don’t give up
Hey, Yanderedev. I hope you get to read this comment, given the quantity of messages regarding this issue.
– If I was in your position I wouldn’t stop working on the project, mainly because of all the resources and time spent on it.
– If I was in your position I would try to talk about what is being said about me, and debunk those rumors. Not to try to persuade Gremlins into sopping their actions, but to keep those people who are supporting me from turning into Gremlins.
– I would acknowledge that I do not have to fight this battle alone. I would try to resort to ‘good’ YouTubers who might care (no matter how slim the possibility of actually getting help might be), like Jacksepticeye, Markiplier, etc. To help me break the credibility of those YouTubers who are messing with me. After all, you don’t lose much if they end up not answering, but you might get A LOT if they do.
– It is also important to clear out that if none of the given suggestions work out. I would eventually HAVE to give up on Yandere Simulator, maybe for a long while, or maybe forever. That is because maintaining my mental and physical health is more important than anything else.
I believe the only way to maintain your current supporters, as well as keeping them from turning against you is stating clearly how you are being attacked, so that they know that they don’t have to pay attention when they see a Gremlin-like comment about your work.
I have been following Yandere Simulator since 2015, and you have actually been a great source of inspiration for me to become a game developer. It would be quite tragic if you ended up abandoning a project with such potential. Keep it up, Yanderedev! There are LOTS of people who believe in you. There are not only Gremlins out there
Hi Yandere Dev.
I just wanted to say that I feel you in this case, because something like this happened to me when I was in the second highschool year; and even worse, when I was in elementary school. I was thinking that my life was a real hell for me since then; but I don’t want to make a long comment, so I just talk about when I was in the second year of highschool, without my best friend supporting me, ’cause she transfered into another school, always because of ours class mates and ours teachers. I transfered away too from that school. Now I make sacrifices for going in this school that I’m in right now, but I feel happy about it. Me, and my best friend went in separated ways, but I can still contact her. Even though I’m in a beautiful school and with beautiful class mates, sometimes I remember those days, but now I don’t care about it that much. What I’m trying to say is that even those ugly and bad memories, I still hope in myself with a better future and always doing it. I changed a little my personality to be strong and more extroverse, but not leaving my shyness. It’s easy to say “Don’t give up”, but trying to care less about everyone who bad mouthed it made me feel better. I hope you can feel better and less depressive about these things. A big hug from Italy, dear Yandere Dev 💚.
I don’t know if you’ll ever read this but I hope you do. I deeply understand how you feel I’ve been in the same situation. Don’t worry about the hater’s who try to bring you down. I know that’s hard. Instead focus and get advise from the people who care. I’m worried you might feel suicidal that’s how I felt but there’s always light at the end of the tunnel. There are people who care like me I love your work and I don’t care about gossip. Stay strong yandere Dev.
I love you yan dev
I dont know why big part of the people just want the game, he is a person, he deserves respect, he has feelings, you would like that the people just want your to work? don’t is better that they care about you eh?, well, i guess that you want the people to care about your feeling, even if you are making a big project, but like ALL we are selfish, we don’t care about the others
I know that maybe this does not help much, but you are a great programmer, never in my life have I seen a game of such good quality being only one in charge of everything, when I saw the game, I was fascinated by it, and always waited for a new update, and when I discovered that all that effort, all that history and work was done by one person, I was so amazed, and I kept saying things like: “One person, was able to do all that”, just by saying that I was beginning to admire you, and I do not stop transmitting that to all my friends, now we are more the ones who wait for the new updates, before I met you, I had no affinity in anything, I did not know what to do after growing up or what dream to fulfill, and seeing that you only did all that on your own, filled me with inspiration, you helped me find a dream and fight so for my account, YandereDev, you saved me, maybe it sounds exaggerated, but living a life in which I do not fight for what I want but for what others want was a future that I did not like, and it terrified me, when you were able to create something that others would not do on their own, Wow, I thought: “He’s the coolest person I’ve ever seen in my entire life, and I want, one day, to get as high as him”, I’ll work on what I want to do, just like you do, I love your game, but I worry about what you’re going through more than that, I know how it feels to be trampled and mocked, but you know what ?, I do not care, I do not care what others say about you, or about them, or about anyone, only stupid people believe in rumors because they can not think for their own account (forgive my language), honestly I do not know how to solve this problem, but you should know that although we are few who are always on your side, we will guarantee that we will always be, defending and supporting you if necessary, And a recommendation for all of you, use the 3 question rule every time someone tells you a rumor from someone (I always apply it):
-Is the rumor 100% real not fake or just a gossip without evidence?
-Is the information useful or just a non-constructive gossip that destroys instead of helping?
-Is rumor positive or is it just a negative gossip without a basis?
if it turns out that there is no evidence of that, it is not useful or constructive at all and it is negative, ignore it, listening to it would only mean more conflicts in which a person who is perhaps innocent is judged
to all this, the only thing I have to say, thank you, Yan Dev, for inspiring me to fight for what I want
*gives Yandere dev a Hug* We Are here for you and from the looks of the majority here, We won’t go anywhere. Whatever you decide we will support you best we can. Yes words can hurt however I hope our words reach you and let you know how much we care for you.
I know the feeling, when I was younger I went through exactly the same kind of situation I’ve been struggling with it all my life, frankly its changed who I am permanently.
Now when I come across such situations, I become very bitter, and violent, I refuse to take the shit anymore honestly I don’t care if I am alone for the rest of my life anymore because that damage has already been done so I speak from experience when I tell you do. not. listen to it, it will only serve to let down the ones who you should really count on “gremlins” can try all they want but we are here for you and the awesome game you have been developing and they are not going to stop us and I know there are thousands out there that will agree with me on this so do your best and try not to let them ass hats get you down 🙂
