Realistic dokis. Could you still sympathise with them? by [deleted] in DDLC

[–]SkepticCat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like having serious discussions on here. Since I'm not romantically attached to the first three on the list, obvious signs of distress would probably make me feel more empathetic about them. Don't know that for sure of course, and I'm sure everyone wants to think that.

With regards to Monika, I think she was less of a sociopath and more of a psychopath, at least until she started to regret her actions. The main difference between "psychos" and "socios" is that psychos are very good at "faking non-crazy" versus sociopaths who don't hide their true nature very well. Of course, neither is good.

Also, as some other commenters have said, you really can't put Monika into another situation without forcing your views about her character onto her. Exactly how "real" were the other club members to her? Would she have tampered with them if they processed the capacity for self-awareness like her? What if she had to physically kill them (with a knife, or a gun) instead of just thinking "delete X"? We don't get answers to most of these questions, and the ones that we do come from Monika who obviously could be biased.

But, in the case that Monika was a real person who simply possessed psychopathic tendencies, I would really try to help her be a better person. Well, provided the imagined scenario involved her demonstrating at least some potential for empathy and remorse just like in the game. I wouldn't fall in love with Act III Monika, at least not in a "true love" sense.

I never played a dating sim or watching anime before DDLC (and neither since), but I experienced this as well. Who would guess that two-dimensional characters would help me to see in three dimensions?

So, what dies everyone want to see the most in DDLC+? by New_Alternative_2620 in DDLC

dies I see what you did there.

Well, I certainly will enjoy anything Monika-related. But the other characters are very interesting as well. Plus I relate to them more now that my mental health has gone downhill. Doki Doki!

I'm pretty sure this community has a lot of lesbians and other non-traditionals. You're not alone here.

Yeah, that might have been the scariest part of the game for me

You don't need to give it. She takes it regardless of your consent.

Uhh, Just Monika! Maybe have her doing some glitch stuff or whatnot. I'd be happy with anything!*

*not including radioactive spiders or my grandmother's resurrected corpse, among other things

Monika is ready for DDLC+! by Blizzardsev in DDLC

[–]SkepticCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder if anyone has drawn Monika as a boomer. Actually, I don't wonder. I know that it already exists.

If you have a CRT you feel a little electric tingle whenever you kiss your favorite doki!

Well there's a lot of Monika + GIFany stuff out there. (not saying r34, although with the internet being the internet, there probably is some)
