Well, I'm officially on board with this whole brainwashing thing. It's way more interesting than I thought it would be and actually makes a lot more sense than Junko slowly mentally breaking everyone like I thought. The brainwashing doesn't actually change their personalities, instead by inserting those rods into their brains, it actives pleasure senors while watching the video of the student council murdering each other. This in turn makes their minds associate death and despair with pleasure, and there's nothing they can do to resist the urge. I honestly like this a lot more than the other theory. I've never really bought that the DR2 cast would fall to despair simply by Junko breaking them mentally. Characters like Gundham and Nekomaru are both simply too strong willed and would never break that easily. But Junko messing with their minds to make them associate despair with pleasure? Yeah, I can get behind that.
