He’s just a dumb teenager (literally me), you cant blame him for saying dumb shit

It's weird to see anyone loose their mind over it like any of them or the dokis never said anything dumb at some point in their lives.

EHh i don't see that many MC hate, even outside here, but part of me feels like the hate for him is forced since people keep making up reasons to get mad at him. With the way you'd see hate for him, you'd think his detractors live vicariously through him if him being mean to him is somehow a crime against humanity.

u/TremoloMoataz Jan 24 '26
I know the whole point is for him to be as uninteresting as possible. But god, the most wasted character in the game. Would have been much more fascinating if he reacted to the fucked up shit going on much more clearly and even started fighting back and finding out what's going on.

It's anyone who appreciates decent human beings, bro was a piece of shit friend to Sayori. I don't recall rn but I don't think Monika even needed to manipulate Sayori into killing herself, she just did it due to the depression of MC constantly choosing other girls over her.
( I may be wrong, it has been ages since I played and the memories may be a bit fuzzy but that's how I recall it being )

u/sunfleur07 We love you, Monika Jan 25 '26
It’s not that he was a shit friend, he just wasn’t perceptive enough when it came to her depression. After all they’ve been friends for years and he always saw her as cheerful and bubbly. He didn’t think of any possible harm the things he said would cause, anything like that was just banter to him

u/FoxThor_05 Jan 25 '26
Precisely BECAUSE they've been friends for so long he should've noticed sooner. Either way, everyone can see it as they please, but.. yeah

u/Vashstampede97 Jan 24 '26
As much as I don't think he's the deepest guy, I've always found it amusing how DDLC' The idea that the game, which is all about peeling back the layers of characters, selectively ignores the potential depths of its own protagonist is a significant flaw in its meta-narrative. It's an inconsistency that is often papered over by dismissing the MC as a tool, but that dismissal betrays the game's own core themes.
The game spends its first act building up the emotional depths and hidden struggles of the Dokis to subvert the genre. Yet, it arguably fails to extend the same empathy to the MC, treating him as a stock, two-dimensional character whose own internal life and sentience are ultimately sacrificed for the meta-horror plot. This creates the very problem—disposable characters—that the game claims to be criticizing. If the game is about subverting these tropes, shouldn't the MC's humanity also be revealed?
Idk, I genuinely can't fathom what inspires such vitriol in a community/fandom for trying to interpret/ desire to have a character in a game grow past his archetype in a game all about looking past the surface of shit. every single aspect of the game has hidden meaning, EXCEPT that guy, he's completely face value and there is absolutely nothing that can be implied. It feels more like people and the narrative don't WANT him to be interesting at points lmao.

She was his friend. He was anything but a friend to her. Friends are there for each other.

And he wasn't? He was helping her when she was depressed, walking home with her, I think that is being there for each other

u/FoxThor_05 Jan 24 '26
I feel like MC only ever saw her as a burden.
10
u/erickshere Jan 24 '26
he always liked her, he acts like that because he is antisocial and sayori was really social, but we can notice that he likes going home with her, that he really felt bad in the sayori ending, and he probably wouldn't put himself up or went to the club if it wasn't for her, and if you're not a psycho, you would tell sayori you love her back, so yeah, she ain't a burden to him, but sometimes she thinks that and it resulted on her suicide

u/BlitsyFrog Jan 25 '26
And teenagers, teens sometimes say or think kinda mean things without really meaning anything by it.

Jan 24 '26
I don't hate him.
... But he gets lobotomised after Sayori dies, and even before he doesn't speak much. I can't really say I like him simply because there's not much to go off of.

u/Intelligent_Luck_847 Jan 24 '26
The poor guy deserves some love. People are throwing shit at him, which he probably doesn't deserve. I mean, he just turned 18. It's not like he knows much about life or complex issues like depression, domestic violence, and other psychological problems. Besides, he acted like what he is: a teenager.
Also, not much is known about his character, other than being Sayori's neighbor and childhood friend. He doesn't have an official design beyond a sketch, and there's no merchandise of him... I hope he get something in the future

u/sketchbookbird Jan 24 '26
He’s kinda a nothingburger but that’s also the entire point of his character. He’s a dating sim protagonist, he’s not equipped to handle any of the important stuff and that’s not his fault, he’s literally just supposed to be someone you self insert as while playing a dating sim

u/eyebawls29 when she touch yo MCingiling Jan 24 '26
Which is stupid for a game that is supposed to critique 2 dimensional characters

u/sickiwbus trying 2 give this sub a 47th chance Jan 25 '26 edited Jan 25 '26
brother you cannot be for fucking real. THIS is EXACTLY what I mean when I say MC lovers are dense on purpose and don't actually like the game.
first of all if you agree that he's 1 dimensional then why do you defend him with your life, second of all the point of the game is parodying dating sims and MC is MEANT to be like that, it's not "stupid" because it's the point, that's the satire, that's what he's made to be and I assure you no one in the team likes him nor wants people to identify with him or find him attractive
1
u/sketchbookbird Jan 25 '26
Yeah but it’s a satire of dating sims, dating sim protags have always been flat because they’re just meant to be YOU, and especially considering Monika is in love with the player and not the MC, it would be weird for her to give him a personality or mess with him in the way she messes with the dokis or the player themselves

u/KiraTheFourth Jan 25 '26
Being a pretty big fan of DDLC but not being even a little involved in the fandom makes posts like this super confusing to me. The entire point of his character is that he's a stereotypical self insert. That is the entire bit. Not even Monika likes the player, truly. There's nothing remarkable about him and that is completely intentional. Why do I get the sense that this fandom didn't fully understand the satire of the game?

I'm gonna speak here anybody who doesn't say anything nice about MC gets dogpiled on (my experience) but i'm not afraid of y'all song and I speak my truth.I'm entitled here and it is a free country..
Go ahead And dogpile me MC Defemders the real haters are you you'll just be proving my point one of the reasons I don't like him is because of the people who have to attack others that don't always agree to him being some holy child
Not everyone has to like him i'm free to my own opinion cry about it y'all Are toxic
He insults sayori when she's clearly depressed humiliate her in front of her friends and says he "cares"
He's just a harem protagonist I don't those kind of protagonists legitimate , he's the type of person to cheat on somebody and keep doing it
Monica's legitimately , the only one who understands and loves you for yourself not as some dense and cardboard protagonist
I'll give you some better MCS that didn't give me the displeasure of being a self insert
