PERSONA 5 ROYAL SHOULD DIAL UP THE GAY

However, one improved aspect that we'd love to see  this new release is the cln of gay romance optns the game. The crique namely stems om two namels recurrg characters throughout the game -- two openly gay men, who pop up perdilly var lotns, cludg the beach and Shju.

IF THIS GAME HAD A GAY ROMANCE, WHO WILL YOU DATE?

They check the box of every major gay stereotype: they're effemate, drs flamboyantly wh patterned shirts and hats, and sentially prey upon Joker and Ryuji, even gog so far as to say thgs like "I'm gog to eat you up!

PERSONA 6 NEEDS A GAY ROMANCE OPTN

" The scen -- which arguably feel credibly out-of-place the game to beg wh -- propagate the already harmful stereotype of predatory gay men. Therefore, this new and ostensibly improved versn of Persona 5, the soon-to-be released Persona 5 Royal should remove the stereotypil characters and add gay romance optns to the game.

It wouldn't be a huge difference to add gay romance to the game.

PERSONA 4: GOLN MOD RTOR GAY ROMANCE OPTN

At some pot velopment, Persona 4 origally planned to have a gay relatnship between the player character and Yose, who had an uned voiced le featurg a love nfsn hidn wh the game fil. Asi om the relatnship availabily self, Persona 2 has been said to pict gay people more realistilly than Persona 5, where they were shown as flamboyant, possibly pedophilic ritur. 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 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. 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.

SHOULD HAVE GAY OPTNS BEEN ADD P5R AS AN ADDN?

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.

PERSONA 5 ROYAL: JOKER AND AKECHI ARE DEFELY GAY FOR EACH OTHER AND ATL CAN'T TELL ME OTHERWISE

But the game giv you explicly no gay romance choic, which is unfortunate, although not exactly a surprise, given how Persona 3 (Outsi of P3P where Female Protagonist uld romance Elizabeth and Aigis) and 4 were absolutely no-no to gay choic, even when would have been the most logil ncln wrg wise (Persona 4 for example removed Yose’s romance optn pletely, even though there are signs that he was origally gog to be one. At the end of the scene, the people the boat next to you and Ye thk you two are a gay uple.
