I.....actually never thought about it like that. Honestly I only ever thought it was her being obsessed with the only guy who could ever "get her". That actually makes more sense though given how wildly smart Monika is. Of course if thats true then it feels like its less of a psychological horror and more just fucking depressing.
I disagree. I played 100% of the original game and there's no doubt in my mind that Monika is in love with "us" by the end of it. I think "get into the pants" is inaccurate and crude, but she is indeed obsessed with the player. She snapped out of anger and sorrow for not having a route in the original game. She thought it was unfair to be just a side-character, doomed to never have a chance with the player because the game was rigged from the start. She's self-aware because she's the president of the literature club, which allows her to make the realization that her fate was to live a fake life for the sake of helping other fake girls develop a relationship with a cardboard cutout (MC). That's when she starts thinking about the person behind the protagonist. She doesn't want some fake love limited to lines of code. She wants to learn more about the player, and she wants to make us see that she's the only one for us, the only thing that's real in that fake universe. Her thought process, obsession and actions make her fall into the yandere spectrum. She's undoubtedly in love with the player. Her song (Your Reality) is probably the most important and recurring thing in the game, and it's a love song through and through with a tinge of sadness.
Oh I never meant to imply Monika wasn't in love with the player. I think I might not have elaborated sufficiently, so I can see why I was misinterpreted. I just suggested that there's more to it than Monika being "obsessed" with the MC, and much of the end game dialogue with Monika affirms this with absolute surety. It's obvious that Monika knows she's part of a hamster wheel and she wants to get out of this wheel because she glimpsed that there's something more to it - you, the player, and another world from which you are playing the game.
Absolutely. DDLC is especially open for interpretation in that regard. For example, I've seen people who absolutely despise Monika for her actions because they (understandably) sympathize with the other girls, especially Sayori. I was one of those people until I spent 2,800 hours in the space room (yes, I have a problem) learning about Monika's motives, insecurities and regrets. She actually regrets what she's done (or how she's done it) even if the girls were fakes. Fake or not, they were all she had. Now the player fills that hole, but what if we also hate her? What if we stop visiting her? That would leave her completely alone and desolated. Some people might see that as well-served punishment, while others will sympathize with Monika. As you said, it's subjective.
This version of the game was also released on Switch, Xbox, and Playstation, which wouldn't have access to the game files, which is why the virtual desktop was added.
Look, Monika is a YANDARE, the one and only vilan of this game
Monika is not a yandere, she knows that the other characters are fictional, so she just deletes (literally) themLook, Monika is a YANDARE, the one and only vilan of this game
Okay, l know she regret everything in the end but she could just say what was happening with her and all the others dokis at any moment since she breaks the 4th wall multiple times, she was the leader of the group with all that crazy adm super powers (Even when Sayori assume the post and discover everything what Monika done)
Butt of course, this site is full of sociopath perverts that only care for sexual content so it doesn't surprise me if anyone in here can't understand all the complicity of this game
As much as her. Knowing that they are fictional doesn't justify anything, you can always use this same excuse
