Chiaki is a pretty good character and I love her. I also find it ridiculous when people confuse a likeable character with ‘pandering’ or an obnoxious character with ‘deep’. Chiaki, being an AI who has to explore a situation where she must go against her role as an observer to interact more with the group, makes her one of the most well written characters in the game and, at the same time, the one who best represents the main themes of the game's ending, which are precisely to gain agency over your actions and not let others decide your future. Chiaki is an ideal made to go against escapism and conformity yet the average redditor can barely see her true message because they can't read beyond "she's a gamer girl". For fucks sake, even her talent is a reference of her nature inside the game.
