That is nonsense.

How so? Yalbadoth is some omnipotent destiny deciding god.....except for when he decides to have a bit of fun pretending to be Igor and channeling his inner Jigsaw to have Joker "Play a game." I can't even say it's out of character because Yalbadoth has no character. This is the issue with an omnipotent being as a Villain in general. Maruki acting out of his own weakness is a good motivation because you have the ability to converse and exchange ideas, even if it's ultimately pointless due to the steadfastness of each person's ideology.(Which, honestly, you can't even say. Maruki doesn't let Akechi exist the way he did if he truly believed in his own actions. Akechi is there because Maruki is aware of the flaws in his ideology and I think while he doesn't want to be stopped, he does want to be challenged.) There's even conversations in early may where he straight up admits that he's speaking about his ideas from a place of weakness, and if he was a stronger individual he wouldn't be pursuing any of this.

The twins shit is stupid and there just to make people who completed their social link feel better about having done so. There's no real foreshadowing and it basically comes out of nowhere to most players.

Joker staying completely silent about the Velvet room is really stupid as well, but that's stupid in Persona 4 as well. It's almost like a Persona stupid story staple at this point.
