Among other adults while you're a minor.

"I'm a teacher, and you're my student..."

"That's the best part."

It cracks me up every time that they went there. And so did I of course. Kawakami is awesome. But I'm a grown man so it doesn't feel as wrong. It's only when I remember I'm playing as a 16 year old so it get fucked up. Atlus please let us play as college students already. At least that way it's only wrong on one level and not on multiple.

Yeah, it's so deeply fucked up. It feels like hentai with the sex removed. I really don't know what it's doing in a mainstream video game.

In my country which is in asia thats actually more common. When i was in college, there was a friend of mine dating a teacher. Other teachers also supported them and teased them when they were together, they got married after my friend graduated

Statutory rape is definitely more novel than playing cowboy or another Nintendo game, I'll give it that.

I know the age of consent in Japan is lower than many Western countries, still weird as hell to think it's fun/ funny/ whatever.

Japan will do anything that gives men the ultimate power sex fantasy in their games.

I just look at it as being sex positive and just want the same equal treatment for females and gay characters in the same medium.

But for the most part, I could live without any of it. Look at my avatar for that explanation.

I usually max out kawakami as early as I can but like I fast forward through all the scenes because it's so problematic. I used to be a teacher. It really grosses me out to see how much they showed how fucked-up it is for a teacher to abuse his power with kamoshida but then make this inappropriate relationship between a student and his female homeroom teachers not seem so bad.

Seriously. It's so gross that they made your teacher a prostitute that you can start a relationship with. It honestly worries me about the kinds of people that work at Atlus if they think this kind of content is both acceptable and worth encouraging.

I was into my 26 y/o english teacher at 16, this social link reminded me of that.

Atlus, P3 - P5 was great and all. Just give us adults again lol

it happens in a mainstream American tv show, why wouldnt it happen in a video game?

In what TV show has it happened and been celebrated? It's always shown as predatory move and depedicted negatively, at least on American tv. In P5 it's a positive sex fantasy with the bonus of her 'massaging' you back up to strength at night. In no way are those two things the same

Dating another boy in the game the same age as you? No way, deviant! Get your teacher sent to prison like a cool guy 😎
This is the dumbest shit in this game.

I'm thankful there's adult options cause I'm an adult. I don't wanna have to be forced between girl who is like a younger sister or other idiot teenagers.

Wait, isn't Persona a game about kids? Did they change to have adults in it?

I hoped they moved up, something like Catherine (haven't played it, but this one isn't based in high school).

Nothing better than coming home from a dungeon and getting a massage by my teacher in a maid outfit.

I suppose they'd say it's all implied only and technically it's you filling in the blanks with sexy time.

Its a bit messed up but at least I get to bang the hot doctor too, no regrets there.

Riverdale. I didnt say it was celebrated tho, I just said it happened in a mainstream show. And in Riverdale they actually do show the sex, complete with cliche steam inside of car.

For the record, I'm obviously not defending either case lol.

No, it's still high school kids. Your teacher moonlights as a prostitute who goes to men's houses dressed as a maid and you can hire her to come sit with you at night and eventually start a relationship.

You were in college though lol. I remember in high school there was a relationship between a student and our calculus teacher. EVERYONE knew even staff. But no one said anything for some reason. She was a senior and he was kinda young so maybe that's why? They eventually got married.
