Usually yanderes are seen as cute because they are not threats to the ones they love. Males are.

We're thinking of different yanderes! Gasai Yuno is a threat, and she's not played for laughs. So why isn't she just a stalker?
-
I was thinking of her :) I think people reacted more negatively to Yuno than the average yandere. "Fcking psycho vs aww'
-
She's still a lot higher-status than the typical portrayal of a male stalker.
-
She's way cuter than the stalker in _Perfect Blue_, for one thing.
-
And anyway, there aren't many male yanderes coded as such to get an intuition.
-
Twilight!Edward is a subverted male yandere... I think. But he has to be neutered much more extensively to be cute.

I would assume it's the different level of vulnerability (and the different reactions) by those who are stalked to the stalkers

An average female-attention-starved male perceives it as good, an average male-attention-overloaded female perceives it as bad?

Whereas male stalkers are generally associated with females getting undesired attention.

My guess is that female yandere are generally designed to fulfill fantasies of males who are starved for female attention.

@ESYudkowsky behavioral? I doubt it. But I think men find the idea of being stalked as not as scary, perhaps even sexy.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

I think it's more of a supply and demand thing, and I would say good amount guys are really turned of by yandere types.

Behavioral? No. Difference is attractiveness of stalker. Eg: If an attractive man stalks a woman, it's depicted as courtship.

I guess it's mostly the old problem that a male can kill a female with his bare hands much more easily than vice versa.

Maybe the fact that there are fewer (not zero!) such female characters in real life?

Compare e.g. the number of horror movies with female family members becoming murderous with that of male ones.
