Well said. '''The game has nothing to do with it. 'DDLC ''wasn't meant to be funny. It's a horror game (featuring some graphic content, but it is mostly psychological horror). I understand the father's pain and anger but we cannot blame the game (or more specifically Monika) for this tragic event. In fact, we cannot blame games for their player's thoughts and behavior. For instance, I played a lots of GTA (less recently), yet I'm not a murdering sociopath. As you said, "outside forces could manipulate the person's decision, but it nevertheless was put into action by the person". Also, the game makes it clear that it is not suitable for kids or sensible persons (- i.e. depressive, suicidal) before the main menu.
