Is there any behavioral difference that's responsible for making a female "yandere" higher-status or more interesting than a male "stalker"?

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.
