HOW PERSONA 5 LETS DOWN S GAY PLAYERS

The velopers acknowledged an terview that a ntroversial scene the origal Persona 5 picted two of the game’s only gay characters as predators, and that they knew didn’t go over well wh many of the game’s fans.

In the origal Persona 5, a pair of unnamed gay men approach the character Ryuji unprompted durg a mandatory -game vis to Shju. It’s a eply unsettlg and unnecsary scene that pats the game’s only two visibly gay men as predators, and the whole suatn is played off as a joke. In Persona 5 Royal, the two gay men are no longer unnamed; they troduce themselv as Angel and Julian (or Julie, if you’re “feelg scy”).

The punchle is now “isn’t funny that the gay men ma a boy wear women’s cloth, spe the fact that they were clearly makg him unfortable, ” stead of the prev joke that was based on the punchle of “isn’t the implied implied threat of sexual asslt, or even rape, hilar? Was my therapist gay or trans? The two unnamed men are the only explicly gay characters the game:.

PERSONA 5 ROYAL SHOULD DIAL UP THE GAY

The scene is amed as beg reflectn to the boy’s 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.
