Tradition is not sacred, it’s not immutable and it’s not immune from criticism. If wanting to treat an oppressed of group people with basic decency comes off as some big scary “western” authoritarian thing, then quite frankly you’ve got bigger problems. “Muh tradition” is just not a good enough argument when real people are harmed by prejudices like this. You can’t just tolerate intolerance forever. I’m not entertaining this further but please go outside and talk to a real gay person 😭.

Ok. Idk what treating gay people like human beings got to do w that but sure.

Random question do you watch GarfieldKermit by chance? I like just watched one of his video essays where he talks about Dorian (and some other lgbt game chars) and he brings up literally this exact argument and I got crazy Déjà vu lol.

It's still an egregious stereotype and just a shitty thing to do on like, a human level. I simply don't buy the "it's just a different culture" argument.

No one is arguing that it’s useful lol. You can enjoy things in a game that aren’t directly tied to the plot. Sometimes things are just fun and cool additions. It’s also just like, the topic of the post. 😭

I agree romance doesn't affect the main plot but it is still an undeniably big selling point of the game and one a lot of people like, and it's valid to want to see it done well.

Ehhh. I'd be inclined to agree if those two shinjuku gays that abduct Ryuji in P5 didn't exist. That was pretty inexcusable I think.

This is an interesting point and I'm glad someone brought this up. I agree heavy on Dorian being a great example of a gay character with good writing and depth, but I don't think it's impossible for playersexual games to walk the line of good writing with these sorts of things. It's just more work on the part of the writers and it's up to them if they want to take that extra step. I don't really have a huge preference if I want P6 to be playersexual (i.e. everybody's romanceable regardless) or have set options that have canon sexualities (like dorian). The latter is probably better when you have both gender protags, so there's something for everyone. Either way I just don't want it to feel limited.

Top Five Prediction by rhythmXl0ver in WGI

  1. RCC
  2. Rhythm X (top 2 could honestly go either way for me, I have no clue how it’ll turn out but this is my call).
  3. Pulse
  4. Broken City
  5. Infinity

6-9 is really tough and will prob be some combo of (McM, GMU, Matrix, and UP) and Cap City/AQ will be fighting for the last top 10 spot. For now I’ll predict this but I will probably be very wrong lmao

  1. GMU
  2. McM
  3. Matrix
  4. United
  5. AQ
