I feel like I've noticed something about Ongezellig that nobody has really brought attention to or talked about since its release.
People like to paint this picture that Maya is a mentally ill freak (ADD aka Autism Denial Disorder, Anxiety, Depression) amongst mentally healthy peers, when that isn't really the case.
For example, Coco may seem like a caring, loving, happy individual and well… she is, but have you noticed that she seems to desperately want validation from Maya? Coco stays suffocatingly close to her, and tries to include her in as many activities as she possibly can, in spite of Maya being ONGEZELLIG.
I believe that underneath her easygoing exterior she has a guilt complex and PTSD.
Guilt because of things that either weren't her fault or were the fault of Maya's parents (Maya lost her cat because of Coco's allergies and Maya didn't get the attention she so desperately needed to properly develop because Coco (and Mymy) received such a disproportionate amount of it), and PTSD because her parents met an untimely end.
As for Mymy, she's a sadomasochist with dissociative identity disorder.
She loves humiliating and teasing Maya (Mymy left her tied up and made fun of her like a selfish little fuck) (SADIST), and seems to intentionally get herself hurt (getting herself thwacked in the head by Vera with a bottle after trying to start a "schoolocaust" with a Nerf gun) (MASOCHIST).
She also clitty leaks if you mention her true ethnicity and reverts to speaking Japanese (DISSOCIATIVE IDENTITY DISORDER).
Consider the 'boers DIAGNOSED.

It's super obvious that Coco has some underlying issues due to the loss of her parents but I never thought about Mymy possibly having DID

Maya and Coco are given reasons for their mental illnesses but is Mymy given a reason beyond just becoming obsessed with the Netherlands and escaping as a child?

Something from her past (probably Eiko, and/or the stress of overbearing parents whose expectations of you are higher than anything you could realistically achieve) convinced her to create a Dutch personality and try to completely dissociate from whoever she was, represented by her dyed hair and contact lenses.

No.105051
>>104910Mymy is actively playing a role, her Dutch side is part of a hyper-indulgent escapism-fueled roleplay, but it's clearly conscious. DID isn't just "playing the role of multiple people", with Mymy there's no indication of the other symptoms such as memory loss, age regression, change in skills/interests etc. In fact, her interests and personality seem extremely fixed. Her "Japanese side" is not an alter, that's her being reminded of a side of her she's trying to forget, in a non-dissociative way. She's just an autist at most.

Regardless, Eiko seems to be obsessive to the point of absurdity and I don't know if this is true but isn't it Eiko's plan to travel to the Netherlands and kidnap Mymy? Obsessed.

>>105061>I would say it's debatable whether or not she has DID, though I don't think there's enough content to make a clear assertion.Trve, anyone can have DID, it's usually the most "normal" people that have it since in more than 90% of the cases it's covert. Your granny living next door might have it for all you know. But since we're going by stereotypes (and all 3 girls are some sort of stereotype), Mymy's doesn't even come close to the reality of the disorder. We don't know Mymy's past or what she's like outside of her screentime (bc she stops existing), but nothing points towards a dissociative identity disorder order than the incorrect and harmful idea that DID is this "drastic change of personality that lasts for 3 seconds and then disappears again" when called out by Vera. DID is more about the absence of a consistent personality than it is about "being multiple people". Source: retard with diagnosed DID.

>>105061>>105031PDA autism covers the Japsterdam thing much better than DID. Mymy doesn’t seem to switch in and out of it like we might expect, but rather fall back on it when things aren’t going her way.
She pretends to be a school shooter when told her presentation isn’t good enough, and uses role play to assert control over Vera by making sure she can do a presentation on Drenthe.

No.105065
>>105062I wasn't trying to say that DID is a momentary shift in personality, but Mymy's almost violent reaction when Vera brought attention to something that reminded of her past gave me the idea that she has some kind of childhood trauma, and reading up on DID itself, that's usually its origin (this is disputed though of zoiets).
>If you care about accurate representation of the mental illness then don't play a part in having it mindlessly assigned to eccentric Dutch anime girls based on stereotypical ideas of the disorder.Well, break my heart into a million pieces why don't you?
This thread isn't meant to be a serious analysis on why the 'boers have these horrible mental disorders that ruin their life because I see intentionally being sad as counterproductive and stupid.
It's half an analysis (because I'm autistic) and half a joke (because I like to entertain people).
That's why I intermixed some soyspeak with my reasoning, but whatever, I'm sorry to have offended you.

>Mymy after shooting Maya with nerf darts (THIS NEVER HAPPENED, TAKE YOUR MEDS).i wouldn't say shooting maya with a toy nerf gun makes her a sadist

>>105066True, maybe I'm projecting a little, and most of this is a joke as you may have been able to ascertain.
I guess I just think it would be fitting for Mymy to have "sadomasochistic" tendencies, since she wants to be dictator of the Netherlands and also wants to enslave preschoolers.
