The YandereDev meme series centers around Alex Mahan, the developer behind the notoriously long-running project 'Yandere Simulator.' Most memes originate from his various public appearances, stream highlights, and the infamous 'Consume the Cum Chalice' video. The community frequently uses these templates to satirize the game's development timeline, his strict Discord moderation, and the 'Are you coding, son?' comic adaptation. Over the years, YandereDev has become a symbol of indie development controversy, with the memes serving as a way for the internet to comment on the intersection of parasocial relationships and long-term project management.
