Emphasis on might.

Vergil had a concentration meter tying him down. The wannabe orange juice factory forgets how to do his charged Beowulf moves and his Judgement Cut End if he doesn't get his concentration. He gets detention if he is seen running in the halls or using an attack that doesn't land. (Game doesn't consider that maybe the attack was just you trying to insert a little personality into this dumb emo Naruto fan while you play. Game accuses you of trying to land an attack and failing.) Terrible.

Dante in DMC5 has Balrog, Cavaliere, the new anti-hype Royal Guard, KC and a bunch of moves that you can only really cancel into SDT. He also has a costume that turns him into emo Donte from the reboot.
Collectively that might be even worse.

We meet again, once proud fanbase now contented to mindlessly yell "I am the storm that is approaching!" and "Dead weight!" while buying red orb microtransactions and sitting through long load times.

Clearly from your foul language, you originated from the DMC reboot part of the fanbase.

Most of the so called fans don't play it either.
They listen to a few of the vocal tracks, call him "wacky woohoo pizza man" a few times and then all but forget it exists when the people around them collectively get bored of pretending to find it funny.

Now you're getting it. Dante cries (figuratively) a lot more in this game than he used to. Even in 2 he was still having some fun but this time round he's traded all his charisma in exchange for what, some spiritual woes and a 'taunt' where he sighs and admits that he's bored?
DMC5 Dante brings great shame.

It's not that weird.
It makes sense that they had to come up with something new for him. Dante was determined and heroic in DMC1, he was silently laughing it up in 2, he had a whole coming of age story in 3 and in 4 he was a seen-it-all mentor type.

And here we are in 5 where at the tail end of the 2010s, Dante decided the emo life was the one for him.

Ah, I've just realised something sort of funny.
I'm talking about playing a video game to a fanbase that subsists mostly on forced internet humor and recitations of song choruses.

Maybe it'd be clearer if I went through the cutscenes - you guys at least watched those, right? - and just pointed things out.
