After today's ep I believe more and more in the theory that the green/purple colour posters signal which character is going to be aligned with who. Cuz no way in hell Daniel is going to be on Lestat's side after tonight ๐ญ
@dunkindania@sugar_exe__ Like you can choose to not hang out with Akechi, but as long as you still do Maruki's SL. Akechi will still show up in third semester because of Akira, just without the 2/2 scene. And the stuff with being down to off Kamoshida is main story without your input, you can't not do it
@dunkindania@sugar_exe__ Both of those are your choice though, you can choose to play aggressive or contemplative. Ren is this way regardless of your choice. + The accomplice ending (in game at least) is not morally ambiguous in my mind, it's straight up evil. They're both more ambiguous than Makoto tho
This episode lowkey proving Louis and Daniel are the heart of iwtv because their scenes are so good and the rest of the episode is... there
Also AMC, give Claudia and Armand scenes challenge
Except it doesn't do that? It doesn't validate anything, nor encourage it. If some people read Erin's post and think "oh let me harass the new va" that's on them, not on her and most likely, as sad as it is, those people would have already been planning on doing that regardless.
No hate towards Fitzgerald. I couldnโt possibly imagine playing a character for over a decade that people love, only to be recasted. However, all this does is validate people who donโt like the new voice actress and will only increase harassment towards them.
@Axzercus And that's still not on Yuri ๐ญ. It is really sad that Aleks got that treatment absolutely, but it is not like Yuri encouraged it. It should not be an expectation that VA's have to bundle up their emotions upon losing both a beloved character AND at the end of the day, a job.
@Axzercus And also Erin's post only had less than 1k likes originally, she only has 6k followers on Bluesky, almost nobody saw the post until it was brought on here. Op is creating an issue that was essentially non-existent. Yuri has a bigger following for sure, but Erin?
@Axzercus However it is not their responsibility if someone else twists their words. Erin and Yuri do not owe anyone their gratitude and are allowed to express how they feel. If they said "I LOST MY JOB TO THIS NEW VA" I would understand but they don't do that, theyre simply grieving.
Ironically you're the one even pointing attention to this because you're sharing it on this platform, a platform she didn't originally post it on, and that is known for being a lot more toxic than Bluesky of all places.
Still absolutely love most of the gameplay, characters and story but I do think the remake has some things it can improve around the rougher edges. (Hot springs scene, the beauty pageant of the girls, Yosuke's romance route and so on)
My biggest problem with persona 4 is that it perpetuates the things it's criticising. It brings up excellent points about toxic masculinity, the sexualisation of minors and gender expectations. And then the next scene, it is actively doing those things without reflection.
people then trying to say that persona 4 is actually progressive in a lot of ways is something I just can't agree with. Because for every door to useful discussion it opens, it smashes about three in your face.
