>sign a bunch of confidentiality agreements, your teachers warn you that it's a bad idea, etc., at what point do you start to suspect that something is wrong and dangerous?
It's a brain surgery, of course it's dangerous and could result in death. It's still far removed from from having your personality overwritten and being used to advance a genocidal plan. There's a point where culpability cuts off, and Hajime couldn't have had an idea that the choice he makes with his own body would spiral into an apocalypse. Otherwise you may as well blame Junko's grandparents for giving birth to Junko's parents because they gave birth to Junko.
>This is such a non argument.
It's simply what happened. None of them could have pulled themselves out of that situation without Makoto even if they were fully determined to do so. How does that reflect on his moral fiber? It's not his fault this is the narrative he was stuck in.
>The point is that Hajime needs to be led by the hand too often.
>too often
The only acceptable example you gave is him not bootstrapping himself out of the pit of despair in a situation purposefully crafted to break his spirit. Chiaki didn't manipulate him like a marionette to press the shutdown button. He talked to her and made his own decision. He could have pulled a Makoto and said "I'm not going to give in to despair. I'm just not, okay?" That would have been uninteresting. Humans are social animals.
>Chiaki doesn't have to play video games, just like Hajime doesn't have to seek a talent.
It's a false equivalency. Chiaki can desire to play games, and this path is available to her. She can desire stop playing games, and that's also also available to her. Hajime on the other hand can't join the Main Course. You aren't giving him the choice to realize his dream, just to give it up.
