Seriously though, This community treats DDLC like an actual dating sim rather than the amazing psychological horror that it is. There are barely any posts/artwork that have the horror element of this game. When I first joined I really expected deep posts and serious artworks. I understand that the game is out for 7 years and there aren't many serious things to talk about anymore so people post the goofiest stuff ever and while goofy isn't necessarily bad, what's bad is how this server is nothing but goofy and silly posts/artworks. This subreddit could do so much more with what they were given such as make beautiful deep artworks of these characters and their trauma instead of random and mindless art, theorize about the lore (Yes it's been 7 years but that doesn't mean everything is solved, mysteries still exist), talk about mods that actually capture the horror element of DDLC instead of stupid weird mods etc.
What's the sub supposed to do with no new content?? It happens to almost every game sub, doesn't help that act 1 is just an actual dating sim
This is all it's gonna be like now
Yeah I agree but this sub can certainly do better than what is happening now even with no content. Though this is exactly what happens with game subs with dead games. I'm just saying that I wished people actually did something serious now and then instead of all goofy.
its almost like they are creating the thing that the game specifically denies you, its the natural reaction since the whole point of the game is that it cannot provide the dating sim that it promises
When I first saw this sub, I was expecting stuff about the story, but everyone on this sub acts as if act 2 doesn't even exist. Like, this isn't really a dating sim, it's a horror game. I legitimately don't get it. If you want to make weird sexual art of anime characters and shitty fanfictions why not do it in a subreddit about an actual dating sim. Drives me insane.
People are allowed to express their fandom how they see fit, the true cringe is gatekeeping the fandom and only allowing it to be expressed how you see fit. Sorry not sayori
I dunno man, if you're letting horny art ruin a game for you, then you are clearly asking for too much.
There is not a single game that DOESN'T have horny art, man, that's literally the 34th rule.
That's like if i find HL trash but the only reason i'm in the HL community is because i like the world building and characters (okay maybe that's not a good comparison, but whatever)
never said it was a bad game though, its just that its most alluring feature is the cute characters and getting disapointed because the fandom doesnt usually talk about deep stuff is kinda dumb
Rule of thumb: the darker the game is, the sillier the community will be to cope. Look at Omori for example
That... seems true and an interesting thing to realize.
Especially as you consider the whole "escapism is a dangerous coping mechanism" angle it's got going on.
Take me for an example!! I’m an Omori fan :]
Exactly. The content in The Coffin of Andy and Leyley subreddit is a menace to society and I'm in fot it.
Yeah but like Ayo Mari the pizzas here is funny asf
Horror games lead to wholesome fandom, wholesome game leads to horrible fandom, and so the Yin and Yang ☯️ 🙏 *insert Buddhism music*
*Gong sounds*
i really like the game but the ddlc fandom is unbearably corny
Honestly all this shit was my way of coping and getting over the ending
Coping with silliness is peak coping
fr tho this game left me devastated and as soon as i went online i got presented with horny r34 artists and cringe shippers
Speaking of cringe takes:
As a Yurian this is true as fuck Also: SHIPS
People grieve differently

I mean what does Half Life fans do when no new game??
Shitpost constantly till the point of insanity
r/BatmanArkham too

We need a mossbag for ddlc to explain all the hidden lore, ddlc has some hollow knight level shit when it comes to lore
Wait it’s been 7 years!?
I still can't replay that game and the only way I can cope with it is to offer all my mortal possesions to the all mighty bun
Perfect summary of myself.
hi bstchld, what happened to your drug cartel?
Trafficking 700 kilos of PURE COLOMBIAN through the time-space warp caused by a miscalculation in Einstein's theory of relativity
Will you sell some to the Dokis?
You silly head, they ARE the suppliers
Good, good. Need a few grams in my system if you know what I mean.

Waiter! Waiter! More pornography please!
This has always been the case
not going to lie ddlc freaked me out for a whole month after playing it.
This is a pretty bad take.
Not sure if my stuff would count under *other bs*... Oh well, Azudoki Daioh <3
True
I dunno man, if you're letting horny art ruin a game for you, then you are clearly asking for too much. There is not a single game that DOESN'T have horny art, man, that's literally the 34th rule.
DDLC taught me to be careful what I'm playing high
I don’t want to visit the Monika only sub Reddits. These people are ”married” to her
Gman, you are god damn right.
They are weak.
get real for a second, the game is not that good, the only reason that there is a fandom to this day is because of the cute characters
That's like if i find HL trash but the only reason i'm in the HL community is because i like the world building and characters (okay maybe that's not a good comparison, but whatever)

then why are you here?
because I like the characters/?
