gogmagog: The Fourth Doctor from <i>Doctor Who</i> (poignant Yosuke)

.....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

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

Ugh Yosi it's almost as if you're a normal, rational person and not a reactionary overly sensitive internet person.

Jeez, you're right. ZOMG CLEARLY THROUGH YUKIKO AND RISE PERSONA 4 IS SAYING THAT ALL WOMEN ARE SECRETLY SKANKY HOS

ALSO THIS GAME CONDONES THE FURRY SUBCULTURE, WITH IMPLICATIONS OF WOMAN-ON-MASCOT-SUIT ROMANCE, AND IT SHOULD BE STOPPED
