TopicThe Persona games make me wonder about Japan. (mild spoilers)
Doe

I'm playing Persona 3. Theres a scene where you and two guys try to hit on girls at the beach, and there's a "gag" where one is a transgender woman, who is characterized as having facial hair and calling the protagonists "boy toys."

So transgender people equals icky. But apparently grown women thinking about using their authority to groom a teenager into a relationship is totally cool, as happens in the Hermit social link. I've also read that as a woman protagonist you can have a romance social Link with Ken Amada, who is in elementary school.

There's also Bebe, who is a foreigner student living in Japan. He's the only person in the Home Economics club, which is about fashion and sewing. But the game makes no attempts at any gags about you and another dude sewing with each other alone after school. Which I find a little shocking for a game from the early 2000s.

I guess the lesson here is you cant get an accurate reading of a country's culture by playing an anime high school game

Finance majors also believe that the fact that companies exist to make money absolves them from any moral and societal responsibility

While looking at a picture in a magazine of Euphemia doing volunteer work with some kids (in a whole-ass princess dress).

You phrase this as though it makes it more sexual. If anything it's another obfuscating element

Note I am not trying to defend the honor of Code Geass or something I think it sucks personally. I just didnt catch on to this scene

Not even the worst thing in that show. Actually it's kind of messy how the show implies there's a moral value to Nina getting herself off while crushing on Euphemia. Like, why is the scene even here? With this and what comes afterwards, what are we saying about people like Nina?

I dont think Code Geass can be trusted on making any moral statement lol

. I like a lot about it, but the ending sucked. Gon just getting a deus ex machina free pass against Bomber felt crappy. He literally got his arms blown off and it was no biggie to either him or the plot and was immediately resolved with no consequences. The Chimera Ant arc did much the same but showed how Gon's power and belief in his power can, and should, actually mean something to him as a character and how it has consequences.

I don't think you can call it a deus ex machina when the arc revolved around the knowledge of the healing card's existence. In fact the reason Gon's solution is viable is the knowledge that he can make otherwise huge sacrifices to win. It's a completely different situation from Chimera Ants. Greed Island displayed Gon's growth and is effectively the first time he defeats a main antagonist.

The island breaks the New Leaf economy wide open, obsoleting stuff like the rivers or mainland bug catching, meaning if you want to effectively get bells to pay for the many many many shit to pay for in the game then you will have basically zero chance to interact with villagers in the process of your endeavors. Which is kinda the actual point of the games

Main Street is also a step down from the City in every way but variety. It's super sterile. The City was a great idea, its execution was just bafflingly lazy and limited in scope.

Ultimately the devs have failed to add anything to the original formula except to add more dollhouse mechanics for the town. And if you like that that's fine but I think it kind of misses the point of what Animal Crossing was supposed to be as an experience. I wish the devs would handle the next game looking more for ways to add meaningful interactions rather than modeling more static objects and bridge locations for a town you dont really do anything in.

Not related to my main point but in NL they also nerfed sell profit at Timmy&Tommy's to give the player some reason to use Re-Tail, which is really dumb.

why? watch crows. no female characters. xD

Because Shonen loves to include seemingly powerful women only to degrade them and cast them aside to put a perspective on the villain's power and create a damsel for the protagonist.

I'm originally from a semi-rural area. I went to college in a semi-rural area. I still have family in semi-rural areas.

The vast majority of dogs were still mostly indoor dogs, and people that kept their dogs outside the vast majority of the time were uniformly considered trash and shitty dog owners. The only exception really being farmers that had barn dogs, but those still had pretty good setups for them.

Maybe if you lived in Dartmouth style rural dude. I'm glad there wasnt a lot of trashy people where you lived but your situation is not indicative of my own sadly.
