Yeah, I highly doubt 5 of the Mane Six are all examples of Cute and Psycho, that's not how it works. Also having temporary breakdowns or Sanity Slippage for a little bit shouldn't automatically make you this tripe. I think this is a heavy case of fanon overriding canon.
lol i not kno how to astronaut
I am questioning the inclusion of Ryoko Asakura from Haruhi Suzumiya as an example. Cute, certainly. Her desire to kill Kyon was not the result of any sort of a psychotic break, or anything we would recognize as psychopathic tendencies. She was, from the standpoint of the Data Overmind, attempting to introduce a new variable to provoke a reaction from Haruhi, and was, for all intents, operating under a form of cold rationality. More a case of Orange And Blue Morality than Cute and Psycho.

I am pretty sure that Launch from Dragon Ball is a prototypical Yangire character... Who manifests both a sweet and scary side inexplicably.

are the turrets in Video Game/Portal an example? They have the cutest voices, but will shoot you if they see you.

You need to surround the "Portal" with {{ and }}.

Suggest renaming trope "Yangire." It's similar to Yandere, but without love being the cause of the mood swing. Info here: http://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=9724
That name is far more opaque than the current one so it won't be renamed. You can set up a redirect if you like, though.
That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.
Are the My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic examples truly examples? I mean, some of the ones I can see, but others not so much.
Pinkie Pie- Okay, I can sort of see it, based off the episode where she went crazy and started hosting a party with inanimate objects. In addition, there's her fanon interpretation. She might not be the best example, though.
Fluttershy- Honestly the best example out of the lot. Normally she's a Shrinking Violet, but there have been enough Beware the Nice Ones moments for it to be a running gag among bronies. If we keep any at all, I say we keep this.
Twilight- Uh... not really? She's suffered Sanity Slippage, but I don't think her behavior in "Lesson Zero" qualifies; if anything it's just that, Sanity Slippage.
Rarity- Uh... no? Unless I'm missing something, she barely counts. In the link she was angry for legitimate reasons (specifically, getting her diary published in a gossip forum).
Luna- If anything, a recovered Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds with No Social Skills.
In addition, the examples are extremely cluttered and could use some rewriting! I thought of asking first before I cleared out/changed the examples, to see if my issue with the current MLP example is legitimate. I personally suggest keeping Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy, removing everyone else, and cleaning it up.
Thoughts on the matter?
