I always figured it refers to the people who'll do evil, downright criminal things to remove any "love rivals" out of their way. As long as other people are of the appropriate gender and interact with their love interest in any way (and are attractive I guess), they'll be seen as a threat and and become the target of violence. Ashley's scene where she almost poked Maria with her pet knife was a good example of this.
I remember reading a short comic about a girl who the PoV character said she had pretty eyes, so she gave him one of them. She didn't come across as being a danger to anyone other than herself, but I'd indisputably call her a yandere. I believe the literal translation of 'yandere' is 'sick love'.

As the others already said match what is written on Wikipedia:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_anime_and_manga#Y said:
yandere (ヤンデレ): A term for a person who is initially loving and caring to someone they like a lot until their romantic love, admiration and devotion becomes feisty and mentally destructive in nature through either overprotectiveness, violence, brutality or all three combined. The term is a portmanteau of the words yanderu (病んでる), meaning (mentally or emotionally) ill, and deredere (でれでれ, "lovey dovey"), meaning to show genuinely strong romantic affection. Yandere characters are mentally unstable, incredibly deranged and use extreme violence or brutality as an outlet for their emotions. Yandere are usually, but not always, female characters

Yeah it was pretty wild. She came across as a real sweetheart, but one you'd have to give constant supervision to avoid her injuring herself again, or train to understand what is and isn't appropriate in a relationship. I just wish I could remember the name of it, or even the hentai site I saw it on.

The only thing getting in the way of full Yandere Ashley is shes ok with sharing the MC. Lets be real though she still sleeps with her knife, almost definitely will not approve of anyone marrying the MC instead of her without flipping out and is obsessed with having his children. Lets be real shes calmed down but that's because of the MC - if there was to be a breakup threat or the likes full Yandere would be back on public display as her only happiness really seems to stem from being with him and around him even If that means concessions of sharing as her future plans all revolve around him and any time weve seen her happy has again been because of his influence and presence. Runey made sure to portray no one was more effected by his prolonged absence visiting the High Elf Queen than her.

One thing I do miss about her yandere nature is the barely concealed bouts of jealousy - im not asking the knife to come back out but since shes accepted sharing the MC shes no longer obsessed with the busty girls being desirable to the MC (I think the trigger which changed her attitude was when Marie rug munched her saying MC would be into whole sharing is caring - shes even ok with Lin eating her so anyone is game in that regards now so long as MC approves). That element was fun especially as more girls appear on the scene like August who should be fodder for some hilarious interactions from no filter Ashley not approving of another whopping cleavage banging her boyfriend as he 'clearly prefers small tits vs cow tits' lol

Deep down she is sweet despite deep depression and finds it hard to get on with others based on experiences growing up though shes growing in maturity in the hotel around the MC and the others (same for most of them really) and isn't even all that much of a deviant in my opinion (she will do practically anything MC suggests sure but only because its his idea - ok, sure she will rape him enthusiastically every now and then but that's because the way she thinks is theyre very much entitled to one another at any given time as they are true lovers to end all lovers). Runey nailed the 9/9 lust scene - classic Ashley is very much still there, she just represses it much better these days as shes in happier place.

I was kinda wondering how everyone else would feel if the MC decided to go full blown revenge mode on the Elf queen. Thought they would hate him for but. But the more I think about it, the more I think they would be unbothered...Assuming the queen helping us somehow is no longer a viable option which it's probably not at this point.

Do what must be done Lord Vader. Do not hesitate. Show no mercy.
Yep pretty much.

While I wouldn't oppose some good old fashioned vendetta against the high elf queen from the guy, Runey has always made a point of saying that he's not really the "main" character in the game. If such an event takes place, he might be on board with it, but I doubt he'll be the main instigator.
Would still like to see it though.

I know he's said that before. Its a really wierd stance though. You are at the center of every girls life but you aren't important. It bugs me.

In my mind, I usually compare him to a psychiatrist or counselor of some variety. He's important to them and, in some cases, even helps them come to terms with where/how/what they are in life, but if they had gone to a different psychiatrist, the result would probably be the same. They like/love him but they don't need *him* specifically, he's just the one they happened to run into at the time, if that makes sense.

It does but it doesn't at the same time. I understand that the MC is basically a therapist but I wouldn't be that dismissive of the whole picture. Hes setting the stage and playing a role.

As long as they are more than I have and not made of plastic... XD

I would figure it would depend on how he did it. If he locked her up (for fun) while freeing the other elves and fairies, they probably would not hold it against him, she is little better than the humans they hate so much, and like Ankhtar said, it is unlikely to be entirely his idea anyway.

It is not as if anyone is saying that he is unimportant, it is just that he is a 'blank slate', personality wise, so that you as the player can imprint more of your own ideas of what he should be onto him.

I'm actually glad you said that because Runey said he doesn't want the MC to be a blank slate about a week ago. But he comes off as one so easily...a blank charecter is good for making the player feel involved. But at the same time having the charecter be too passive gives the sense that you aren't involved enough. Its a hard thing to balance.

Edit: and dont get me wrong Runey has been balancing it very well. I just feel like the MC has been leaning towards the passive side of things a bit too much in recent updates.

It's also possible that he's some sort of chessmaster kind of character who's pulling everyone's strings behind the scenes while on the surface appearing like he doesn't give a damn about much of anything other than boobs and wetting his dong. The way he's portrayed in game makes it easy to assume that his role in the story can be just about anything depending on who's behind the screen.
In the end, only Runey really knows what he's going to become, all we can do is speculate, which is not necessarily a bad thing.
