Is it possible that Sayori is evil?(potentiol spoilers)

[FilthyRatGoblin]

In the default/bad ending she gets corrupted and one of my friend argue that she's evil. Is this possible and why?

[Somali Pirate Radio]

She's not evil. She's been driven mad by the knowledge she is a game character. The literature club president is cursed with knowledge of "the world of infinite choices"(our world), and that knowledge drives her past the brink.

Just look at Monika throughout the game, that's how Sayori was going to be like, another Monika. Good thing Monika already realize and was still in control at the end.

No it's just that after all monika did, then sayori finding out she's a character she becam Mad/crazy, if you played ddlc+ where monika did not have control you will know sayori is not evil, even the dev's said that she was never evil.

I don’t think it’s insanity, but rather an uncontrollable fear driving her instincts for self preservation. If you delete Monika before starting a new game Sayori is made Club President and promptly loses her composure. She’s beyond terrified at what she suddenly sees. However, Monika is able to hold it together and try to find a way out. With the knowledge of Monikas prior actions and the belief that there IS a way out Sayori doesn’t see her fate as utterly hopeless, but falls into the same mindset Monika had.

During the “nice” ending this same process plays out, but the fact you spent so much time with everybody gives Sayori a new perspective. She doesn’t have to plead for her life by taking control of the game because she thinks the player is an honesty nice person. It ultimately doesn’t matter because after seeing Sayori is also doomed to this fate Monika still deletes the game as a means to at least prevent Yuri and Natsuki from suffering this terrible fate, but she isn’t pushed to make that call early like in the normal ending and thus wants the player to have a “fond farewell” before going through with it.

These are just my opinions. I don’t believe anyone here is “evil”, just trying to survive and dealing with the terrible knowledge that their life was a lie. They only have a few hours to somehow change their fate before being trapped in static limbo for a potential eternity, which would drive anyone to panic. With Monika trying to think this through rather than give in to despair, having been tempted to delete her own CHR file before the game even began, it shows her mental fortitude and strength of will in an otherwise hopeless situation that Sayori just didn’t have.
