One person said they were pretty much soured on the game because the camping scene was like "The game turned into a let's laugh at the queer minstrel show."
...WHAT. First off, if we're meant to laugh at anyone in that scene, I think it's Yosuke (who's all OHNOEZ AM I GONNA GET RAPED).
Second, I find it funny that they're calling it a "queer minstrel show," since the game seems to go out of its way, once you get out of his dungeon, to NOT be making Kanji the stereotypical gay figure of fun you so often get in Japanese media (see: Enchanted Arms). Kanji ISN'T the comic relief any more than any other character; the only one who DOES perhaps occupy that position is the aggressively hetero Yosuke.
And yeah, I'm in the middle of Marukyu Striptease right now - one thing you can say about the Shadows, they don't really bother with subtlety. XD
