And lo, the great Arbitrator decreed: "All female Yandere will forevermore be declared BASED, and all male Yandere will forevermore be declared CRINGE"

And among the neophytes there was much weeping, and gnashing of teeth, and rending of clothes

And many great lawyers began to petition the great Arbitrator, offering arguments of "gender equality" and "fairness"

But the great Sage thought to himself on the subject, and began to speak to his disciples

And the Sage's disciples listened as he spake, and the Sage spake thus: "The words of the Arbitrator, though of truth and importance, matter not to us" "For the beloved of the male Yandere, the words of the Arbitrator matter not" "For the words of her lover matter more" "Forsooth, we of the Path of the Yandere must recall how we forsook the law of the Arbitrator" "And joined in the ranks of the exiled to forever chase after the fujoshi, and the female Yandere, and the Kuudere, and the Deredere."

And the disciples of the Sage were enlightened.
