Saturn_ogurt 6 years ago#8No, as a woman/gay man you're not allowed to have anythg ever- Swap God for a janor, rot a jar of dog paws -Put a pch of sage your boots, and all day long a spicy scent is your reward. While Persona 2: Innocent S was ahead of the curve, cludg a gay romance optn all the way back 1999, recent history has been more spotty, wh Persona 5 drawg cricism om LGBT+ groups for the cln of two particularly stereotypil gay characters who pop up ocsnally as a nng gag, to the pot of havg their l rewrten the English release of Persona 5: Royal. While had no nfirmed LGBT+ characters, do have one character, Kanji, who’s heavily hted as beg gay or bisexual, but looks like the game uld have gone a step further and clud a gay romance optn – party member Yose – an optn which has been ma available thanks to a mod of the PC versn of Persona 4: Goln, released earlier this year.
The two unnamed men are the only explicly gay characters the game:. They are effemative gay men, who are basilly preyg on the nocent straight mor Ryuji. The game lets you rpond wh a joke rponse to Ryuji that he has to basilly man up agast the unmanly gay men.

So the scene starts wh the two gay men makg their entrance. The scene is amed as beg reflectn to the boys attempts to h on women earlier, so s more or ls meant as a punishment towards them wh the st of showg the gay men aga an offensive light. And then the gay men nng after them, sce they are gog to forcibly harass them.
The boys manage to pe, and the two gay men are never referenced directly the game aga, unls you go out of your way to talk to them Shju, where they make remarks about another male character who is still a mor. This is basilly yet another example of a very troublome trope wily known as "All Gays are Pedophil". This showg this game is pecially bad due to the two characters beg the only two fely gay men Tokyo Protagonist will teract wh.
The ia that All gay men are sexual predators, huntg for pecially mors/children is pecially troublg due to how this stereotype about gay men is actively ed as a reason to abe and hunt Gay mory Rsia pecially. The group is said to equate homosexualy to pedophilia, and is also alleged to target gay men and subject them to siar abive treatment. So is worryg and harmful to see the game e this very damagg stereotype towards gay men, pecially this se where the two characters are the only explicly gay men the whole game.
