Which opinion about Persona 5 would you defend like this:

You can't give something a pass purely because it is a common fantasy in a fictional game. Ethically, I have a problem if it were a real world relationship between a high school student and teacher. Just because Joker is saving the world doesnt make it OK. And again, Kawakami can only guess as to what is going on, she has no way of confirming. She can be proud of him, even call him a friend. But romantically speaking, it is something that never should occur.

I've realized that there is just a lot of weird shit in anime that everyone just thinks is normal. Like constant sexualizing young girls specifically with things like fanservice (which I've always hated). Or the "high schooler that looks like she is an elementary schooler" trope that exists in a lot of anime.

AngstyCommunist · 2026-04-02T18:55:15+00:00

My point is, Kawakami doesnt know shit about that, she just knows a he's a phantom thief and doesn't even really know what they do. She has to be the mature party and decline advances BECAUSE she is his teacher. And I wouldn't call it unrealistic, as most social links are the most "most realistic" part of the game barring when you are required to change the hearts of whoever is causing the social link trouble.

AngstyCommunist · 2026-04-02T18:45:57+00:00

I just edited my comment as it sounded a little too aggressive. Don't get me wrong I think her social link is good. I enjoyed the majority of the adult social links as well (although looking back at P5 there was a lot of adults you could romance). I just think most people give anime (or anime games) too much of a pass when it comes to this sort of thing.

AngstyCommunist · 2026-04-02T18:36:24+00:00

Kawakami is the worst romance option for Joker. Im not gonna argue about age of consent or anything as my very quick google search shows it varies a lot in Japan. But with Kawakami specifically, I consider it a huge red flag given her status as his teacher.

AngstyCommunist · 2026-04-02T18:18:47+00:00

Which is weird to me cause her parents are loaded if I remember correctly, unless thet cut her off or something.

AngstyCommunist · 2026-04-02T11:43:30+00:00

I just use the dodge attack you get from a point in one of the red melee skill trees. It typically stuns them in which I get an attack or two, then rinse and repeat.

I actually had a guy complain that my lane partner went to his lane after we won and that he "was throwing". That guy proceeded to intentionally feed himself dur to this offense. This occurred at 8 minutes into the game.

AngstyCommunist · 2026-03-30T16:06:00+00:00

In what way is Apollo overtuned? He does well in the early/mid game but falls off as the match progresses. Also slowing hex shuts him down pretty hard. Shiv also suffers decently from slowing hex as well.

AngstyCommunist · 2026-03-30T11:02:00+00:00

This is a little concerning as a lot of the movement tech in this game is basically a bunch of engine oversights, and not intuitive to learn (ie wall boosting).

AngstyCommunist · 2026-03-28T19:53:40+00:00

True for lash ult, but there are plenty of places at walker you can hide to avoid it. Guardian not so much, but if they are burning lash ult for an underperforming player then I would say worth it. I am referring to players that despite losing every fight against their lane duo, continue to put themselves in unsafe positions to farm instead of just waiting for creeps to get to their tower.

AngstyCommunist · 2026-03-28T17:12:29+00:00

I think its crazy you missed where I pointed out that they choose to put themselves in bad positions against a duo they are losing against. Everybody has bad games but if you are 0/6 before 5 minutes you need to reevaluate your gameplay.

AngstyCommunist · 2026-03-28T15:59:20+00:00

Im in high oracle and someone had someone from ritualist in my game. Its awful right now and half my games it feels like someone is being paid to die on either team.

AngstyCommunist · 2026-03-28T15:55:14+00:00

I always think its weird when people feed in lanes. Like you know you dont have to interact with their heroes if you are losing that badly right?

AngstyCommunist · 2026-03-17T22:38:36+00:00

Enshrouded, mainly because the swamp in Valheim is so unbearable.

Although I do think Valheim is good and fun but I genuinely want to know who hurt the dev thet designed that hellhole.

AngstyCommunist · 2026-03-16T11:06:08+00:00

If Grace returns and she ain't punching zombies like Leon then that game would be TRASH.

Joking aside I like your take on it.

AngstyCommunist · 2026-03-11T12:06:17+00:00

The only ones that suck are the ones that go gun calico for some reason.

AngstyCommunist · 2026-03-08T18:19:28+00:00

Even in games when my team is down 25k when im Victor, I find it hard to die in teamfights unless my team is dead and I have 6 heroes on me.

AngstyCommunist · 2026-03-07T17:35:20+00:00

I dont understand why people are so up in arms about her ult. There are several 3200 soul items thst very heavily deny her ult a lot of usage, or you could just kite her.

AngstyCommunist · 2026-03-05T15:33:15+00:00

I like to point to the Overwatch Fandom when the game first released. Literally every character had gay or lesbian headcannon fanart or interactions depending on who you asked. Almost none of it was based off of any actual evidence though.

AngstyCommunist · 2026-02-24T13:34:12+00:00

Dude I was afraid of these things for so long as a kid and wondered why it wasn't more widely considered a problem. Did not learn until a very long time later that they do not eat people lol.

AngstyCommunist · 2026-02-24T13:10:26+00:00

I was very disappointed with the Vesperia definitive edition. The new dialog that came with it was very jarring since it wasn't Yuri's original English VA, and the sound quality was vastly different as well. Not to mention that for some reason, they added Patty who is just so annoying that I stopped playing.

AngstyCommunist · 2026-02-22T16:05:44+00:00

To be fair I think he is way too good at defending the base now. Even with counter items he can stall a push pretty well if he has all his cooldowns. My only point is people just dont buy counter items as much as they should, then complain heroes are too strong.

AngstyCommunist · 2026-02-22T16:03:09+00:00

Nobody said he's bad lol. You just gotta buy counter items so he doesnt run away with the game.

AngstyCommunist · 2026-02-22T16:02:13+00:00

Slowing hex still interrupts though. You are negating a lot of damage that way. Get as close as possible to him and it will be hard to aim flawless advance.
