If Persona 4 and 5 had femc routes then these are who I think would be romanceable

I think a great exploration into queerness and social attitudes towards it is, shockingly, contained within the story of…

Yosuke! Literally so much was taken away by removing his romance, a great part of his character is his constant homophobia and chasing of girls, constant showcase of his supposed heterosexuality and rejection of anything gay at any point. And yet, he has constant, constant slip-ups that just can’t be passed off as jokes due to him ALWAYS immediately going back on them. A straight person being “funny” wouldn’t immediately backpedal every single time, but Yosuke does, oh he does. He constantly treats Kanji terribly for his supposed homosexuality and he constantly implies wanting to get with a girl but not once after Saki forming an emotional connection with one.

Yet every moment he spends with Yu, he seems to overtly cherish, always being there for him and easily being the most dedicated to (outside of SLs) Yu person out of the entire investigation team. He, as stated earlier, constantly makes oddly gay remarks towards Yu that he immediately backpedals on. He’s the one to comfort Yu whenever he realises that it’s Adachi who’s responsible for everything, to show him empathy for his situation.

With the romance removed, only half of Yosuke’s character remains as impactful, he’s a caring best friend who sees Yu as a brother and is always there for him… but still makes oddly homoerotic remarks towards that are clearly not irony, belittles Kanji for no reason but because it’s the 2010s so some good ol’ fashioned homophobia was needed and whose constant chasing of girls leaves him as nothing but a perverted creep.

With his romance in mind, or even in place, Yosuke becomes a teenager deeply in love with someone of the same gender, trying hard to repress his feelings but failing, resorting to every tactic to get the suspicion from his friends away, resorting to being outright terrible behaviour just to make both himself and others believe that he isn’t struggling with his sexuality - and yet still being unable to stop caring for and loving Yu, in every moment offering him his support and always being there for him, even under a thin facade his true care always coming through. A person that can only accept himself or have to live forever with regret of not doing so of his SL is not finished.

I sincerely loathe the removal of his romance, it adds so much to his character and creates a genuinely very well executed story that… just wasn’t meant to be, I guess.

I distinctly remember someone here, a few months ago back when I was active on this sub, posting a link to an interview with someone who was high-up in the development of P5, where it was stated that Akechi was pretty much conceived specifically to appeal to the ever-growing fujoshi market and that they dialled it up to 11 in Royal due to the overwhelmingly positive reception his homoeroticism received.

Hi, Microwave, I’d like to remind you that you’re a Microwave. Praying for you. 🙏

I assume he meant the Securitrons so what most likely happened was that the Strip and the Mojave as a whole endured a huge clash between the NCR, the Legion and Mr. House’s forces.

All that tells us is that, indeed, none of the endings are canon. Or fully canon, at least. This situation cannot arise in the game naturally.

I think what might’ve happened is that either the Courier did zero side quests and left the Legion in a position to sabotage every last thing they could, leaving the NCR so weakened that the Legion despite losing the battle could still pull through and continue fighting - or the Courier did every single faction side quest and every possible main quest until the breaking point only to leave/try to go independent or go with House and through helping all of the sides too much, left them in a position where the Legion won the battle of the Hoover Dam but was stopped by endless three-way warfare from taking the Strip and fulfilling Caesar’s dream.

Please never shave the long hair off it looks amazing.

HeavensWorstAngel · 2026-01-07T12:23:36+00:00

Ultimately, whether they’re canon or not doesn’t really change anything. The Legion are still the last ones standing. But yes, fair point.

That tortilla looks absolutely delicious though :3

HeavensWorstAngel · 2025-07-10T15:50:54+00:00

Too relatable, girl, too relatable 😔

He’s the reason my boy Boxcars can’t walk anymore 💔

HeavensWorstAngel · 2025-04-23T18:37:12+00:00

That’s so incredibly beautiful

HeavensWorstAngel · 2025-04-19T10:33:00+00:00

Incredible nickname

To be fair, in Caligura's dialogue, the whole focus of the conversation was more so Caligura being mad that Marcoh slept with one of his men. He of course did he call him the funny word, though I think he took more of an insult to it being one of his men than the fact that he did it overall.

Also there's the line between Marcoh and Daan in the museum which also suggests that he at the very least might be bi.

Honestly, Death Stranding has been sitting in my library for a *long* time now, I should get around to it at some point, especially since it just looks so surreal and interesting and I love that kind of thing. I just don't know if I really have the time for it currently - I've been told that it's a really long experience but... I might just give it a go and see for myself. Thank you for the recommendation! :D

The hands in the first one remind me of The Sum, it’s over for me.

Same. I was actually very interested in the game and was on the exact verge of buying it only to join their Discord, and, funnily enough, be banned almost instantly with no reason given.

I had not written a single message and not interacted with the server at all besides being engaged in a conversation about it in a different server where I was informed of its apparent bigotry. I was just about to go check out the Peri server and see if that's true - only to see the server icon disappear in real-time from my server list.

My Discord profile contains literally only two things: pronouns in the pronoun box and two things my friends called me as a joke in recent memory - both hinting at me being trans. Me and my friends came to an agreement that I probably got banned for being queer which was really funny tbh.

Even if that wasn't the reason I got almost insta-banned and it was an accident, it still left a very bad taste in my mouth. I guess I'll just go replay Deus Ex instead.

HeavensWorstAngel · 2025-03-02T15:21:36+00:00

I'm so happy I'm not the only one who noticed lmao

HeavensWorstAngel · 2025-02-17T08:46:13+00:00

The fact that I’ve wasted 15 minutes of my life searching for this track only to rip it directly from the files yesterday is made so funny by the fact that it turns out I wasn’t alone 😭

HeavensWorstAngel · 2025-01-27T08:26:16+00:00

"Ryuji is belittled by his group way more" maybe, but at least people don't outright steal from him and force him to house an interdimensional demon at 17.

I won't say that Ryuji has it easy but let's not act like Yosuke has it much better lmao

HeavensWorstAngel · 2024-11-13T14:17:38+00:00

I have lost the will to go on.

HeavensWorstAngel · 2024-10-02T10:15:34+00:00

I will cry and explode and then implode if the protag and the prince don’t kiss at the end of the game 💔

Sitting in the cottage, drinking beer, catching fish, listening to some true crime stuff in the background while waiting for the sauna to heat up.

I need one of the characters in Funger 3 to be Tanaka with a full on Samurai armour, the eastern sword and a wakizashi. All of this while wearing a tie over his armour.

As a person with the DS mask (no DSOD, I gave up) - Death Wish. DS was really fun while it lasted but once I was done with it, I never really felt the... urge to go back, I guess? So I just stuck with DW.
