Unless of course you don't think people who like yandere characters are really people, in which case, er, yeah the fandom wasn't full of people until after his death, just a lot of non-people who liked Rolo for who he is.Yandere types are not meant to be romantic or heartwarming. The danger of obsession might be a kink and therefore sexy, not that I go for that kind of thing, but it exists. To me, Rolo is a flawed, fucked up, and lulzy character, but that's why I love him. It doesn't need to make sense. (Who takes Geass completely seriously these days, anyway? There's always been an element of wtf in Geass...)
One person's reasons for hating a character could well be the reason another likes him, so there's no real reason for needing to get so heated up about it. I liked how he was mentally vulnerable, that he couldn't do anything completely right; he was a selfish little bastard who wanted to believe that everything he was doing was for Lelouch, even when it was really for himself and for his own peace of mind. It was tragic, because he was manipulated and alone, and yet he believed and tried all the way to the end. He's not a smart character, he was a pawn. He wasn't even meant to be in Geass, but he gained a lot of fans on the way regardless. We knew he was doomed, we could see him digging his own grave, but that made us like him just for that.
Lastly, I'm pretty sure he didn't kill Shirley because he was scared she'd replace him. He killed Shirley because she wanted to help bring Nunnally back, and Nunnaly is the one he really feels most threatened by. It's a brother complex rather than a romantic complex, so while he may have felt slightly threatened by Shirley, it was her promise of saving Nunnally that set him off. It's sort of like Lelouch's complex towards Nunnally reinterpreted. These kinds of bonds are deeply explored in Geass, (Lelouch's jealousy of Suzaku's closeness to Nunnally at the beginning of R2 much? and I don't think throwing in this sort of relationship wasn't entirely unnatural.
Honestly, don't lump all yandere fans into one boat. A lot of yandere characters when handled well can be a hundred times more interesting than Rolo. Don't assume that all of them are quite like him. Let us like who we like. It can't be helped. I respect your opinion though, I just put forward my own. If some people like to get their rocks off to tentacle pr0n I don't say anything even if it squicks me. I let them enjoy their kink. It's nothing my own very good friends haven't said. Just that they don't say it as if everyone should think the way they do.

Re: 135
I really thought I should hate Rolo after he killed her but I found myself laughing through tears and feeling sort of protective of both of them. OTL
It was kind of bizarre. :'D
