This looks like the work of an enemy stand

HAHA I DIDNT HEAR THE GATE CHANGE ANNONCEMENT TWO MORE HOURS OF AIRPORT PURGATORY

The female lead might be super curvy, but the focus is far more on his body–muscles, abs, and enormous flopping censor box–even when she takes off her shirt in the second episode. He's a fantasy for the female secondary audience. The male audience is assumed to care more about the violence.

In the growing subgenre of shonen battle romance, it comes off like a bodice ripper. Yes, the male lead is a lunatic who has a severe problem with boundaries and almost forces himself on the female lead in the first episode, but the focus is on how desirable he is.

Oh yeah the one Lovecraft story that even contemporary critics thought was a bit much with the racism

That's very plausible

Ah, there we go. Thanks. Well, at least the possibility is open, and the persona 6 leaks suggest that there will be a playable female deuteragonist (/cope)

Okay, like this sounds 100% like Atlus, and I have no trouble believing it is true, but like I can't find anything actually saying this. I try to verify things like this just to check my biases, so could you point to a source, please?

Except for Ryuji. Give Ann her clothes back right now.

Joker regularly suggests crossdressing but always gets shot down. Even by an actual drag queen. The dancing game spinoff, however...
comment in response to post
And re: the latter, it's actually a pretty interesting character arc with Ann growing more comfortable with her appearance and sexuality. Is it perfect? far from it. I have many notes. But I was actually really pleased with the payoff in the final dungeon.

Which is funny because from what I can tell 5 does *way* more queerbaiting that 4 (in the "these dudes are down bad for each other... OR ARE THEY?!" way). Like how many times did they make a joke about one of the dudes crossdressing?
comment in response to post
It's better these days, probably due to the increasing relevance of anti-authoritarian themes, but there are still spaces where if you try to engage with that, people will inform you that they are in fact Not Leftist because of culturally dissonant depictions of relationships, women, and queer folk.

I assure you I was not thinking about the ongoing linguistic erasure of Welsh by the English. My entire thought process was, "How do I make a modern superhero setting sound more 'fantasy' without being *really* racist?"
comment in response to post
Just to clarify, this isn't like in Elden Ring, where they used Welsh as a cultural indicator for a particular fantasy region to set it apart from the more Roman or Anglo-Saxon Leyndell. This is a *superhero* setting.
comment in response to post
I remember doing extensive research on how to pronounce Welsh and how names for both places and people are constructed, all of which were completely deleted from my brain as soon as I moved on to another topic.

In its second phase, it even creates holes in reality.

The region dominated by fingers is at the bottom of a hole. The finger-shaped rocks are actually tubes with holes at the bottom that you can see underground. To get there, you have to blow a finger-shaped whistle covered in holes. The boss is a pile of jumbled fingers with a hole in the middle.

She's my personal Patches given how many times she's tried to bring me into her circle. Look, I know who you are and what you're about. You're not fooling me, but still, let's just see how it plays out this time.

Maybe it is solvable but I sincerely doubt our current ability to solve it.

I thought the problems with policing were inherent to those invested with power by the government *only* and not a product of human nature with no clear solution. Next, you'll tell me that while power corrupts, corrupt people are also drawn to power.
