PERSONA 6 NEEDS A GAY ROMANCE OPTN

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.

RYUJI IS GAY (PROOF)

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? But the two tratgly n’t actually date -game, potg to what many believe is yet another example of Persona’s problem wh gay romance. Her whole character arc is about pg om the trappgs of the male gaze, only for the game to equently put her spe-breakg, sexualized pos and make her endure rnchy ments om her male ’s easy to figure out why Ryuji isn’t a romance optn: The Persona seri has a longstandg homophobia problem that stems om a ep fear of male Persona 5, there are only two gay upl, both of which are wrten as predatory and handsy toward Joker and Ryuji.

RYUJI NFIRMED GAY!

The harmful pictns of gay men do nothg more than perpetuate outdated stereotyp.

GAY OPTN WH RYUJI, YE, AND THE UNNAMED TECTIVE?

Persona 5 nnot expect to be a credible piece of mentary about societal jtice while havg a homophobia problem. The origal game clus an irrponsible and harmful pictn of gay men, who are stereotypilly effemate and flamboyant.

PERSONA 5 ROYAL SHOULD DIAL UP THE GAY

What's more, they behave a predatory manner towards Joker and Ryuji - aga, the are the only openly gay people the game. 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.
