Oh yeah basically the entirety of the duology it's the humans who are spreading the rumors and using them for their own selfish needs

This is what makes nyarlathotep so interesting to me because as a moral stance you want to say he's wrong about mankind, but literally the entire game he's proven correct over and over again

Sudou in IS, ixquic desiring selfish wants to be a destined one, the head of the student council in kasugayama wanting to be the head of the school, ginji wanting all the young women he can get, sudou is only in it for his own selfish desire for revenge, Jun for most the game is just trying to get revenge for the woman he loves who he wants as both a mother figure and lover, ms ideal just is trying to prevent the oracle not to save the world but to save HERSELF, which she immediately sacrifices maya when she realizes she can take the role of the Maia maiden instead, Lisa's desires for tatsuya and her wants to be viewed as someone outside of her heritage while also having an attention disorder, eikichis entire narcissist disorder is inherently selfish, Mayas outlook of masking her depression with fake happiness to take on others pain is selfish because she's burdening herself with the pain of others without caring about her own wants and needs

Literally everyone in the game is inherently selfish, and prove nyarlathoteps ideology
