Finally, P4 icons :D

.....wow, Kanji's dungeon was, ummmm...how shall I put it...unsubtle? The lisp, the muscley Gigases wearing rainbow spandex speedos, the fact that it was in the bathhouse of GAY LUUUUUUURVE...I know there are some people who are all "Kanji's not gay, he's just confused! He just wants acceptance from someone!"

I think those people are blind and quite possibly deaf as well. HIS SHADOW JUST SAID WE THREE GUYS WOULD MAKE GOOD BOYFRIENDS, HIS "SPECIAL" WAS ABOUT FINDING LOVE IN A MEN-ONLY BATHHOUSE, WHAT PART ABOUT THAT SCREAMS "STRAIGHT" TO YOU

Also Yosuke's gay panic in that dungeon was kind of hilarious (especially if you talk to him in the dungeon using the square button, and he's creeped out by feeling someone something blowing in his ear). I kind of adore Yosuke so far, especially since I just got the S.Link event where he comes into my room and immediately asks me whether I store my porn under the futon. Though at least he promised that he'll still be my friend even if I'm into really freaky porn...good to know!

Also, when I told him I hadn't invited any girls into my room, he said I may be more of a "man's man" than he thought, which was followed by the message "Yosuke seems happy." HMMMMMMM

And then there's skanky nympho Shadow Yukiko's insistence that Chie is one of her potential "princes," and in fact Chie seems to be her preferred candidate...

Strangely, the most heterosexual-seeming one so far is Teddie, given his attempts to put the moves on Yukiko. Since he's an empty teddy-bear mascot suit who talks, this is less reassuring of normality than it may seem. Also he keeps making "beary" bad puns, which can't be helping his chances any. :(

W, WHY IS THIS GAME SO QUESTIONABLE AND AWESOME

I can see the other side too, Yosi. Remember. A Shadow is partly fears. He fears being seen as gay, so this manifests in his Shadow. There's evidence for both sides, and so far the makers of the game haven't weighed in on one side or the other.

Thank you Josefsune, thank you. I know... a lot of people who were really, really offended by Kanji's dungeon (URGH THEY BEAT THE GAY OUTTA HIM) and Yosuke's "homophobia."

I can only assume the answer lies somewhere in the fact that Atlus is behind it.

P4 kicks ass.

And trust me, Teddy becomes the all-conquering pimpmaster. You will see him own the male cast of P4 repeatedly. Except for Souji, but only because he can actually get a real girlfriend.

As far as Kanji is concerned, I think it's some of column A and some of column B. There's actually a pretty good chance that Kanji is, in the end, bi. I don't know if he's the raging gay that his Shadow portrayed him as, but that's only one part of him.

If they let you date Kanji, that would have clinched it, of course. Sadly, they don't.
