...I don't know what series you're talking about, and heaven knows I'm not defending misogynist slash fangirls, of which there are a truly depressing number, and whom I find truly to the depths of my heart repulsive.
But you asserted in this post that there is some sort of hypocrisy, and not just hypocrisy but HORRIBLE hypocrisy, MISOGYNISTIC hypocrisy, involved in liking a "guy who says he loves Character X more than anything", but not liking a "girl who says she loves Character X more than anything and was going to torture and/or murder his mother if she got in their way."
That is the most incredibly, obviously false equivalence I have ever heard, unless you left out the part where this Akise dude has threatened to murder anyone who doesn't want to see him with the main character. And, frankly, it sounds horribly judgmental and homophobic.
You have a point in there that is valid, but you cannot make that point by comparing a devoted gay male character to a batshit crazy female character who, in your own words, "puts every other yandere that ever existed to shame". Because you are not comparing Akise to Relena here. I can think of plenty of reasons why I wouldn't like Yuno. Either Yuno needs to get out of this argument because she is not relevant to the point you want to make, or you are asserting that being a mother-murdering yandere is equally as likable or unlikable as being a gay man who cares about someone a lot. Which is kind of problematic.
