twitter really be like that huh

[Chestnut @EBrynjuson]

@TeeKayNineFour @MangaMoguraRE Probably that he doesn't care. Authors have free reigh and the EiC doesn't want to have any direct say in what appears in those series.

@yacineMTB WATCH OUT, A LESBIAN IS STANDING BEHIND YOU!

[Chestnut @EBrynjuson]

@AfzalArrai64221 @AniNewsAndFacts They literally say in the tweet she's gonna be a transfer student from Japan. She's actually gonna be the only Asian student.

@CraigABrill @TheAdvocateMag Wait till you find out what the most common motive is for killing trans women and the reasonings behind it

[Chestnut @EBrynjuson]

@Rhabdolux @Henry92589880 @highwindows88 @aryanp656 Hasn't the IDF already long since killed them all after 7 months of relentless bombing?

[Chestnut @EBrynjuson]

@Nikolxc4 @LubbaSMG2 Except becoming a man is not conformity. Crossdressing/transitioning is the opposite of that. There's literally a scene later where the cast puts Naoto back into a skirt with the beauty pageant bullshit, she's being forced to conform.

@MagzanZaksylyk @MinoriMajo Please

@ProfDBernstein @NathanJRobinson The fuck do you mean regroup, Gaza is so ruined beyond repair that it'd take a century to get anything up and running again

[Chestnut @EBrynjuson]

@Otome_chan311 @MangaMoguraRE Like please, genuinely

Reincarnated as a Fantasy Knockout from a while back was cool I guess but please 😭

@viridikuroki @sinofsorrows P4G literally gives her a big cleavage in the epilogue

[Chestnut @EBrynjuson]

@viridikuroki @sinofsorrows And then you have blatant lines like in OP's screenshot that only feels like it hammers it home. Naoto's story does not end in acceptance, but in resignation that she will never be a man. And then the cast and writers progressively force her even out of her androgyny, to boot.

[Chestnut @EBrynjuson]

@viridikuroki @sinofsorrows Which is why this feels so sinister from a queer lens. Atlus wasn't trying to discourage comparisons between Naoto and trans men, if anything they encouraged it with the weird SRS bit. Whether intentional or out of ignorance, Naoto's story is trans in nature.

[Chestnut @EBrynjuson]

@sinofsorrows And then all the talk of SRS in the shadow world makes it worse, because that implies Atlus was *aware* of the other interpretation of the arc, and that this might just be what some 40 year old writer thinks trans men are.

Like it feels disgusting when you take the whole picture

[Chestnut @EBrynjuson]

@sinofsorrows Crazy how Atlus genuinely might have wanted to write about misogyny but then leaned so hard into what can so easily be interpreted as a literal detransition story.

"Why wasn't I born male...?"

Like please give that boy some testosterone

@Zenrotwo Leave my babygirl alone

[Chestnut @EBrynjuson]

@Shima__HD Just say you hate women buddy.
No one was out to ruin a man's life, listen to his own fucking words.

[Chestnut @EBrynjuson]

@Satoshik0k0 No no let's not go that far. Johnny was a case of taking advantage of online/casual misogyny to discredit an abuse survivor. That man is a horrid jackass.

[Chestnut @EBrynjuson]

@Schaffrillas WOW so you DONT even want it to be PERSONA anymore????!!!!
