Watching streamers react to yosuke not being comfortable with homosexuality and them losing their minds like he's the incarnation of hitler is proof that there is no future for humanity
>>
>>741514716
Its leftover jokes from a cut gay yosuke storyline which is why he's so apprehensive about it. They even recorded the dialogue so it was cut very late. He was written to be a gay teenager so he is meant to come across as annoying faggy and cringe whenever he does that. Its just missing the "catharsis" of him actually coming out as homosexual.

Yosuke was the actual gay romance option. Kanji was legitimately straight and insecure. Yu could originally have gay sex with Yosuke. There was never any fag romance with Kanji so the actual gay one was Yosuke.
>>
Are Yosuke's nurse magazines that Teddie mentioned in Arena just for show then?
>>
>>741515145
No what I said is true. The lines were found in the game. There's an entire gay romance option for Yosuke's social link. The only actual fag in the party was Yosuke.

Funny.

That's because Yosuke is a normal, well adjusted teenager and twitter/tumblr are full of the kinds of people who hate IRL Yosukes for making light hearted jokes about them.

You clearly weren't around in the time period Persona 4 takes place. People were less sensitive then.

I'm the same age as the P3 cast, and despite my friends and I constantly saying nigger and faggot in high school, none of us were as insecure about our sexuality in the same way Yosuke was. In fact, the only guy I knew who felt weird about sharing a hotel bed with another guy was the most closeted dude in our grade

And with the removal of Yosuke's romance, he isn't either. Atlus decided he's just like you poking fun at gayhomos.

Of all the Personas, Ryuji was and always will be the best ride or die nigger and it's not even fucking close. He knew he was dumb as dogshit. He still made what everyone thought would be a suicide run just to get the job done. No way is Yosuke a bigger bro than Ryuji.
>>
>>741515767
I like yosuke more because he slots in as a verbal leader better in a game with a voiceless protag, him being the one to lead a lot of the discussions feels correct as a #2 but you are correct that if you were to take them IRL ryuji is the mega bro you want to be with

Ryuji may be way too retarded to ever be a step up leader guy but iirc he isn't potentially responsible for the bad ending either. Yosuke can fuck up majorly if you actually let him take the lead. Retard can't even make a crit without dropping his own weapons like a dumbass meanwhile Ryuji was kicking punching and fucking shotgunning shadow niggers like a champion. Guy had a real vendetta too not some pussyass shit like Yosuke where he's insecure because a girl didn't like him. He got injured and lost arguably his only chance at success in life through sports and got real actual revenge for it.
>>
I genuinely don't remember anything about Yosuke other than him being the kid of the people that own Junes and he had a crush on his senpai that died.

What does he even like to do in his free time? I remember everyone else having personalities and lives outside the group, but I'm drawing a blank for Yosuke.

Going back to P3 and P4 really highlights how sanitized modern Persona has become, characters don't really act in unpleasant or problematic ways anymore. I don't think a modern Persona could ever do a character like Adachi, it's too "real" and I bet the remake will sand some of his edges off

In terms of the party yes in terms of villains no.
Yosuke had a right to be a bit of a bitchy queen because his personal life was impacted by his dad's business fucking up the town vibe.

In 5, Ryuji's story is so fucked up he was getting to the point he would've brought a gun to school if he were in America.

Just as one example.
"My life kind of sucks because I'm kind of gay and a girl hates my family business" is a lot more pleasant than "my teacher ruined my life, gave me a lifelong injury, destroyed my future, and is raping my friend and several other girls and no one is doing anything about it".
>>
>>741516686
>characters don't really act in unpleasant or problematic ways anymore
Yusuke blackmails you into letting Ann pose nude for him and he gets made into a fucking party member. Not to mention literally everything that is Akechi and how he also joins, especially in Royal. The guy murdered two other party members' family and they put up with him. You're just talking out of your ass and like being offended.

>>741515767
Ryuji is undoubtedly a ride or die motherfucker, but he was written to be a retard at far too many points in the story which ended up making him the least likable out of the bro characters. It completely goes against how mature and responsible he is in his confidant. They also made fun of his brave sacrifice moment by having a Japanese humor segment after it.
Again, he's got level 6 guts and will do what he can for you, but after playing P5R (played P5 originally) I couldn't fucking stand him. I'd pick both Junpei and Yosuke over him any day.
>>
>>741517493

>>
>>741520103
I swear, so much of Yosuke's retardation gets immediately solved the moment you begin working under the assumption that he's balls deep in the closet. It's not just a dropped plot point, it's ingrained into his character writing and still there as subtext. Also helps to look at Kanji as his foil, he's the guy who thinks he might be gay because he likes feminine things and is into someone he thinks is a dude, but actually isn't gay or at the very least has accepted he might be due to his shadow.
>>
>>741523195
There isn't much to Yosuke beyond being an annoying dumb fag unironically. Most of his other trauma or issues are resolved before you even hit the first real dungeon. All that's left is him being questionably annoying and possibly ruining the world for literally everyone by pushing Namatame into the TV. He's just there being annoying and bickering like a girl with Chie.

Important question
Will Kanji still get naked on the beach scene?
>>
>>741524134
He had better.
>>
>>741523650
Yeah, that's another problem with Yosuke, he gets the big dumb after Yukiko's arc and was a reasonably intelligent dude in the prologue. P4's character writing is for the most part just not as good as P3, it has its moments where it's on par or maybe even better, but still disappointing. As it stands, Rise and Kanji are the best characters in the IT.

>>741523887
Except nobody actually tries hitting on him and he's jumping at the nonexistent homos under his bed. Compare that to Kanji, who just threatens to kick the shit out of you for calling him gay, other than that he just doesn't give a shit.

>>741524338
When they cut him being gay they left the subtext as that other anon said and gave him nothing. He barely impacts the plot beyond complaining or outright fucking it up for you.

It actually would be better if he just had a scene where he could come out. If anyone should be confirmed a fag or a troon it should legit be Yosuke and not the two actually confused kids who get over themselves and normalize in a few days. The only one carrying an obvious sexual burden post their dungeon is Yosuke.

That was just retards being unable to accept that P3 and P4 were different games. The melancholy and depression of the main characters was the point of P3, P4's characters didn't really have those problems. P4's real problem was that most of the IT get flanderized the moment their initial arcs end with the exception of Rise and Kanji, and maybe Naoto, but she's not in the game for very long to get any meaningful development.

I was in my mid 20's when I played P4 and understood Yosuke was a teenager.
Why is it so hard for these people to put themselves in his shoes, they just look at it through the lens of adulthood.
Yosuke is a damn good party members to, his only bad stat is luck, outside of that he's basically Gale from DDS, perfectly balanced across the broad, great magic list to.

Didn't P5R remove the gay/tranny jokes because people complained? Sure, the P3 stuff aren't leaving, because those aren't easy targets. I can see them caving or someone on the localization team taking advantage of their position to fuck around with Naoto, Kanji, and Yosuke.

People forget that the west does have some influence on certain Japanese developers/companies. They influenced Capcom to remove the ballistics and other sexual jokes in RE4's VR version, which carried over to RE4R (literally in interviews, they said they were following the VR version's example of modern audience). It's why Ashley's costumes are more reserved, and why Leon doesn't flirt with anyone, barely even with Ada. Him flirting with Hunnigan was probably considered some kind of work-based harassment bullshit, so that's why he doesn't do it with her either.

That's just the P4 girls for the most part, it's a joke that ends up being jarring enough to put you off of them. Same thing to a lesser extent with the P5 girls beating the shit out of Ryuji after he almost dies. Play P3 if you want girls who aren't mischaracterized for the sake of humor.

I'm about the P4 cast's age and grew up in a rural area. I knew plenty of guys who would get worried about "catching the gay" back when I was in high school. Teens, even straight teens, being insecure about their sexuality is pretty commoon.
>>
>>741528760
P5 changed the joke with the gay niggas harassing Ryuji and P3 replaced the tranny with an actual woman scamming you. As for the main party I'm not worried at all. Especially with Naoto. There's literally 20 years of her letting her tits hang and I highly doubt they'd change her for some twitter niggers who gladly admit they don't play the games
>>
>>741529087
Discussing if Yosuke is gay is more fun, but to give you an actual response the most likely reason for the change is to reflect Kanji's insecurity with his feminine hobbies instead of the whole Shadow design being blatant gay symbolism.
>>
>>741529252
>P5 changed the joke with the gay niggas harassing Ryuji and P3 replaced the tranny with an actual woman scamming you.
The point is, this is only changed because the "modern audience" nonsense of people complaining on social media and localizers being in on it.
>As for the main party I'm not worried at all. Especially with Naoto. There's literally 20 years of her letting her tits hang and I highly doubt they'd change her for some twitter niggers who gladly admit they don't play the games
Anon, there's about 6+ years of people complaining and calling her trans. Sure, they're tourists, but that's the point. Even now, that dumb discussion has started up again. It didn't exist for a decade after the game's launch, but like all the other old trap or crossdressing characters, it's being co-opted. Obviously the devs aren't going to make her trans or whatever, but like Kanji's stuff, I wouldn't be surprised if they wrote it a bit different to avoid someone on the localization team or committee that may have more than just a say on things. Do we really think they'll let Yosuke's dialogue slide? Not in the localized version.

I'm going to hope that's what they're going for, but the point is that Kanji was denying the idea that he MIGHT BE gay, even if he really wasn't. His whole complex with feminine hobbies, being more comfortable around guys because cunty girls gave him shit for it, being fully under the assumption that Naoto was a guy and still wanting to tap that ass. The point of the shadows is that they're repressed and therefore hyperbolic and scathing toward their hosts that reject them, I don't have confidence the new writers understand that.

Fuck Ryuji. All he does is complain about shitty adults while being a shitty teen. He knew about Kamoshida and didn't do anything. He didn't go to the police. He blames everyone but himself. And then as soon as Kamoshida is gone, he starts being the sex pest of the group. This is a huge problem with P5's writing in general where the tone is all over the place, but Ryuji being such a massive fucking hypocrite is unforgivable.

The best bro is Junpei because unlike Yosuke, he has an actual arc. Its fine to be abrasive and even unlikable at the start as long as you grow as a person.
>>
>>741533309
>Yusuke studying Makoto's shoulder blades
Patrician.
>>
>>741533309
Even when Kamoshida was caught it's implied the entire staff of the school were covering for him iirc and some of the onlookers were upset he was fired. He brought a lot of prestige to the school. Maybe I'm misremembering but from what I can recall it seemed like unless Kamoshida publicly confessed he was never going to be punished.
>>
>>741533309
>He knew about Kamoshida and didn't do anything.
Bro tried to fight him and got his leg destroyed. Speaking of that, it's crazy how it's only touched on in that one running scene, and never brought up again. It's like it doesn't even exist.
>>
>>741533309
>He knew about Kamoshida and didn't do anything
He knew that Kamoshida was a piece of shit who abused students, but he didin't know about rape. Also it's very blatantly implied if not even stated outright that school staff and parent commitee know about it and cover for him because he's some volleyball star player so having him as a teacher brings in the dosh.
>>
>>741533616
Ann and Makoto both went through that logic and realized that no, they themselves were still the problem because they chose to do nothing and pass the buck to others. Ryuji never gets self reflective enough to realize that.

>I can recall it seemed like unless Kamoshida publicly confessed he was never going to be punished.
No, even Ann and Makoto realized they could have just gone to the fucking police and that they were the problem for enabling his behavior.

>>741533691

Abuse is abuse and he still chose to do nothing. He also knew about Ann and Kamoshida, but rather than investigating or being proactive, he did nothing. And then he proceeded to be the very same sex pest he rallied against. Makoto knew she could have done more, so stop making excuses for the little fag.
>>
>>741533796
>And then proceeded to do literally nothing for a year until the MC came along.
Are you being intentionally obtuse? What was he supposed to do? He had the school on his side and couldn't overpower him. Even if he could, he'd get expelled. It's made clear that the principal is corrupt and turns a blind eye to what Kamoshida does. The fact that Kamoshida could break a students leg as self-defense for a single punch says enough. The "shitty adults" thing is annoying, but P5 makes it clear at the start of the game how hopeless things are for those in the know and under Kamoshida's thumb. It's the only real time the game ever feels oppressive for the characters.
>>
>>741533309
Kamoshida's story in particular is pulled from real life cases of covered-up sexual abuse in schools, it sounds retarded that this kind of thing happens, but that's because Japan's collectivist brainrot and legal system are dogshit and the main writer was pissed off enough to make an entire game that served as a giant throbbing middle finger toward those things. Kamoshida may have been held accountable eventually, but the main characters involved would have had their lives irrevocably ruined before that happened. It's their word as undesirables vs. the former star athlete who brings results and prestige to the school, and the victims get swept under the rug in favor of maintaining that status quo.
>>
>>741533914
>He also knew about Ann and Kamoshida
Ann wasn't doing anything with Kamoshida and by the time the MC transfers, that's the first time she actively considers "hanging out" with him to help Shiho. Kamoshida was just beating on students and harassing female students up until he begins to spiral and rape Shiho when Ann rejects him.

Call the popos for one. Any of the things that Makoto and Ann regret that they didn't do first.

The point isn't that he didn't do anything, but the fact that he didn't even try. And unlike Ann and Makoto, he never has a scene where he realizes that he could have. He never has a scene where he goes "maybe instead of blaming Kamoshida, I should blame myself for being too weak to stand up to him." Like Ann and Makoto did almost immediately afterwards.

The game practically spells it out for you, he stood no chance of changing anything as a perceived delinquent. These are real life things that happen in Japan because they're morally bankrupt retards as a collective and the legal system is just an extension of that retardation.
>>
>call the police!
This is Japan. If "no one" saw anything, "nothing" happened. If it's inconvenient for the whole for someone to be investigated, they won't be.
>>
>>741534109
So you are just being retarded. Again, the game makes it clear that Ryuji already has a reputation as a delinquent and the principal will protect Kamoshida. Kamoshida isn't suspected by anyone. Kamoshida knows he can't be touched. The only time it gets too far to really hide is the rape of Shiho, but she just leaves to another school. Ann would have probably tried to do more, but then the metaverse happens soon after. Ryuji was literally going to fight (and lose to) Kamoshida again after Shiho jumps, but we stop him. Had Ryuji gotten his shit kicked in again and claimed it was for what happened to Shiho, the chances of there being an investigation entirely relies on how well the principal can lie his ass off for Kamoshida. Wasn't the principal already dealing with the police force anyway?
>>
>>741534423
And Japan has a 90% conviction rate because they're whole government is corrupt and just dedicated on maintaining the image of peace, so as long as they can immediately find the culprit to anything (even if the wrong guy), they can set people at ease and say the job was handled. P5 was a critic on the whole system. It just fell flat when it later became "muh shitty adults", and nothing more.
>>
>>741534423
The police for sure showed up. Ryuji rants about adults constantly because literally all of them failed him. It's a completely understandable reaction.
>>
>>741511041
They're going to remove this line on the remake no?
>>
>>741534585
They have a high conviction rate because they will just drop charges if they can't secure a near guarantee conviction easily. Its Asian math at work. You're just not supposed to talk about the other ones and they were never filed for the statistics so they never fucking happened goy, look at the vending machines.
>>
>>741534585
>It just fell flat when it later became "muh shitty adults"
That's exactly the cause of their societal ills, though. Adults (people that participate in society) upholding the collectivist brainrot. The assholes in actual positions of power wouldn't be able to get away with their bullshit if the older generations weren't such sticklers for staying in line and keeping their heads down. It does trickle down to the younger generations as everything does, but it's still shitty adults utterly failing the younger generations who are increasingly open to changing the way things are done.

And again, its not about whether or not he could get results. Its the fact that

3. He shifts blame away from his lack of action towards muh shitty adults
4. He becomes the sex pest of the group
>>
>>741534859
Sure, but it targeting only that just comes off as teen angst to a very real issue. It felt like Persona 5 was just trying to appeal to teens at that point. A teenager that was corrupted by adults and allowed to abuse things would have been a good addition to the story, even as a side character. For example, a star sports player that gets to do bullshit. The bosses son getting to harass workers, etc.

...And one important thing to mention, Haru never makes it clear what kind of guy her fiance was. She doesn't make it clear he's abusive, just that she doesn't want to marry him.

She put everything she could into getting the MC out of his sentence and that barely worked, she knows she was a piece of shit and is now actively working toward rectifying her mistakes and reforming the justice system, though that's an uphill battle if there ever was one.

I'm translating the game. None of us on the team have any interest in removing iconic lines. We only make sure it's faithful to the original and this line is similar to what Yosuke says in Japanese.

Also, we're keeping fsteak lol. Even we can't get rid of that.

I hope this also alleviates some fears on Kanji and Naoto. They both will remain true to their original Persona 4 counterparts as we feel it is too integral to the story. However one person on the team did put in a Pro LBGT line for Kanji after you rescue him. Sorry bros, I couldn't do anything about that.

Again, eye for an eye is not the point. She's learned her lesson and is actively working toward rectifying the system, and considering she got Joker out, I don't think getting other sentences rescinded would be off the table if that were possible. Legally, she didn't do anything wrong, so it's not like she can be held accountable, she worked well within the bounds of the legal system, unlike the other villains. Again, what kind of punishment? What purpose would that serve outside of blind revenge? Her working toward reforming the system is helping the people she convicted, even if it's nigh impossible to get those people out of jail. Rehabilitation, not blind and senseless street justice.
>>
>>741536576
>Again, eye for an eye is not the point.
I stopped reading here. She committed a crime and multiple people suffered as a result. Her getting off because she's considered a main character is dumb. They just shouldn't have written that she was rigging cases to avoid this dilemma. Laws exist for a reason. She not only got off from punishment, but originally took part in abusing/breaking the laws with her position. People probably excuse or forget about her part in all of this because her and her shadow is hot as fuck. If she looked like the other villains, I doubt they would.
>>
>>741536736
Sae is -so- pathetic I've been saying for years shes hot as fuck because she would literally do -anything- if you put up with her shit. She is so hilariously pathetic and insecure and at her age is sexy because she'd be a giggling schoolgirl if you so much as gave her an ounce of affection.

>>741511041
>>741513684
Yeah it was not uncommon to see a high school boy dating or lusting over a middle schooler.

>>741536736
Again, she worked well within the legal system and didn't break any laws, so what are they going to charge her with? And seeing how she acts after getting her palace dispelled, and how different she is compared to the other palace owners post collapse, is enough for the Thieves to believe in her conviction to do good. The other palace owners get locked up because they broke laws, Sae didn't break any.
>>
>>741536925
I don't remember this so I can't say who is right but I'm 100% sure Japan has laws written down penalizing fixing cases even if they do encourage it on every level. A prosecutor at Sae's level being caught doing that or confessing would mean every single case she ever worked in her entire life would feasibly be up for appeal or thrown out if challenged literally at all. This happens occasionally in the US and the fallout can span literal decades of case work.

Sae would not be able to find a job scrubbing toilets in a subway station if she ever had to do what Kamoshida did. Prosecutioral misconduct is arguably worse than what that guy was doing. There are all manner of ethical failures. One on that level would make her a pariah on pretty much every level. That's like "I'm a doctor but I was caught trying to kill my patients for insurance money" levels of bad.

You'd rather want be the guy who dropped the atom bomb than you would want to be Sae in that situation.

Sae is arguably worse than Kamoshida. I can sort of understand a guy like that getting so full of himself and entitled. He can sort of internalize the things he did (i was just defending myself/that's the way I learned to be so good/the girls were coming onto me). Sae is a very rational and cold hearted logical person so she absolutely remained lucid and clear headed as she made the decision to put someone in a cell for something they didnt do. Kamoshida doesnt have any excuse but people like him develop coping skills to rationalize their shitty behavior.

what kind of rebuttal is this?
Are you implying you cannot consume any media in their original language or even read subtitles? Or that you're dumber than an animal which can at least recognize tone and emotion even without understanding the words themselves.

Yagami is a defense attorney not a prosecutor anon
Also edgeworth is only evil for like 2 chapters, for the rest of the series he's just playing devil's advocate

Yosuke is the brains behind the Investigation Team (until Naoto joins), believe in it or not. He's the first to figure out the pattern between the disappearances, up until Kanji at least. He's also the one to suggest to throw Namatame in the TV. He actually does quite a lot to make the team work. That's why he gets put in the trash can, so he doesn't overshadow the self-insert MC.
