If "playing that sort of person" would be a thing, I'm sure dev would make a proper context and design characters in a way to support that. The point is, the game is not that and neither MC, Cooper or Camille give you a reason to be such a jackass.This is the thing people seem to not get. This isn't RL, it's a game, and the entire point of games is to play how you like, within the limitations of game design.
I have no real interest in her myself, but if I were interested in playing the sort of person that would go after her, I should be free to do so.
Second, "it's just a game bro" is such a silly argument that I often see not just here, but everywhere. If it's just a game or pixels and nothing matters and doesn't need to make sense, then what's the point of story? Of characters? Of consistency and lore? Why are people complaining "these pixels are not talking the way I want and story isn't interesting" when they rate games? As I said, game needs to be properly written and give you a good reason for every option available to you. Even when you play an evil character, they have their backstory, their mindset, philosophy, reasons to act the way they do. They might still be wrong and evil, but they act accordingly to factors I just listed. So that way, you are given the context, something to work with, so you can roleplay that evil character. Now here in this case, people asking for MC to do that to Cooper and Camille are players IRL projecting themselves and their desires to do something only a complete jackass would want to do. You are not playing a MC that has that wish, you are literally the one that has that wish.
Also, I didn't specifically say it's you who want this - I haven't quoted anyone or tagged anyone after all, but considering how defensive you got and replied to multiple people about it... Well, whatever the case, I don't buy your argument.
