It's in their core rpgs tooYou guys really set yourselves for disappointment by expecting a sensible plot / writing from "sexy animu" games. So glad I'm not into this stuff.

The beach secene where the guys are trying to get laid ends with the only girls interested in them being trans. Of course all the guys freak out and the game paints the trans girls as men. It is thankfully absent from the FeMC route in Persona 3 Portable.What happened in P3? I just played through it last summer and I don't remember there being anything on the level of P5.
Right?? And like in Persona 4 they fuck it up with their main characters even.Honestly, I know it shouldn't surprise me, you unfortunately see it every day, but it does still baffle me a bit every time I think about how these are multiple games entirety about "breaking free of society's pressures... but not for those marginalized people", with seemingly 0 sense of understanding of what they're doing.
Is this just a Japanese cultural thing? Like how blackface is still a culturally accepted depiction of black people in drawings?

That's not true. Blame the individuals making these mistakes, not a whole country. This happens --always-- specifically with Hashino games.
Eh....it's unfortunately pretty common for any game that actually has transgender characters.This is an Atlus exclusive problem. Other Japanese game companies don't have this issue.

If they still want to sell their games globally, they need to pretend that they fucking care by apologizing and not doing it again. Or they are not getting my business anymore.

But they made the original game, which was already phobic? And Studio Zero involves many of the same people? These new storylines were written by Hashino, and drawn by Soejima?
Is it really framed as making her 'happier' in that reality? If so, that's horrible. It's like the Luka thing in Steins;Gate, which kind of makes sense, but made infinitely worse by adding that detail to it.
Did they change this is P3P? I just remember her giving dating advice.Persona 3 has the beach sequence where a transwoman tries to trick the teenage boys into going back to her place so she can sexually assault them.
What if they go the CDPR route and apologize "if you were offended"? What happens then?If they still want to sell their games globally, they need to pretend that they fucking care by apologizing and not doing it again. Or they are not getting my business anymore.

Ever since the PSP version came out I've never gone back to MC.
The goal of this ending apparently is that the character gets to be with their lover as a Gay Man rather than a woman.Wait, when they go back in time, do they still make Rin gay, or "fix" Rin by turning hims straight?
To be honest, I can't name any off the top of my head...but I can't really think of other games that really get into the subject either. My general memory is that it's generally been bad when the subject comes up (I know that's not good reasoning without specific examples).honestly asking which ones. Cause I haven't heard or seen this in other games other than just stereotypes.

This was probably done to attempt Gay relationships in their games only that they traded in their trans character and implied the transition made her "miserable" to my understanding
That has never stopped... some people
If their response is that shitty, fuck them.What if they go the CDPR route and apologize "if you were offended"? What happens then?

And the fact that they're a Japanese company excuses them, because there's been some fairly respectful trans rep like from Zombieland Saga and The Missing.
The Orientalism in this thread...
Wandering Son, Super Paper Mario, Zombieland Saga... All have told trans stories/characters well. Different works from different media. This isn't about Japan, this is about Hashino being a POS and not getting the callout he deserves from ATLUS. You don't see this shit in SMTIV, you don't see this shit in TMS#FE.
Hashino is the dude that said you couldn't have female friends. Hashino is the dude that said a girl going back to her rural city didn't make sense. Hashino told it was.not worth it to make a female protagonist. He's the POS, not Japan.
Take a break for an hour.I'm actually fucking crying right now because I'm so fucking furious that they keep doing this shit. I need to calm down.
Yeah. I'm not down with that at all.The forum rules include a list of games that people are prohibited from discussing.
People's reaction and praise of Persona 4 convinced them that they could tackle these social issues... which they obviously can't.
