it's funny cause art in general is rarely conservative. I don't know if any of those games are conservative. conservatives are bad at making art, whether it's movies, video games, paintings, etc
Creative people are more likely to be more progressive. There are conservative writers, actors and artists but they tend to be the minority.

Isn't Attack on Titan made by a Japanese conservative? I thought I heard some controversy about that.

Couldn't any game that demands skill to progress be considered conservativecore? Conservatives are the gatekeeping folk, liberals are the big tent inclusivity types.

I think it's less that, and more that it's difficult to portray progressive values in a villainous way and do it well. On the other hand, conservatives tend to make great villains. Fighting to maintain the status quo isn't particularly appealing. For this reason, conservatives tend to make poor heroes. The exception, of course, is when they're fighting other conservative factions. Then there's also the fact that in order to write something well, you have to understand it, and conservatives truly do not understand liberal values.

Exactly the opposite.

The Renaissance was a 're-birth'. New learning, new discoveries, new innovations. A whole lot of challenging of the status quo was going on at that time.

From History.com since I'm lazy
The Renaissance was a fervent period of European cultural, artistic, political and economic rebirth following the Middle Ages. Generally described as taking place from the 14th century to the 17th century, the Renaissance promoted the rediscovery of classical philosophy, literature and art.
There's a reason it was a rebirth, not a new birth. People during the Renaissance were obsessed with the writings and sculpture of the Greco-roman people and placed a premium on "old wisdom". They saw the empires before them as a greater, more enlightened time and believed that if they pulled those ideas into the present it would better the world. That included the reintroduction of a bunch of incorrect knowledge and superstition because the writings and practices of the ancients were privileged.

I'm not saying new innovation didn't happen during the Renaissance. I'm saying that this aspect of the Renaissance, the worship of the past and the forms constructed by ancestors, is the apotheosis of conservative art.

They used the rediscovered knowledge to break away from medieval conservatism. It wasn't a return to the past.

It was the intellectual revolution of the Renaissance that lead directly to the Protestant Reformation, challenging the most conservative institution of all.

As did the scientific revolution lead by Galileo. The Renaissance was not a good time for those trying to hold on to the old ways. The conservatives were the ones arguing that Renaissance thought was undermining Christian morals and social structures.

Theyre gatekeepers based on what youre born as (white, straight, rich, etc.) not how skilled or hard working you are.

Which makes their bootstraps propaganda especially ridiculous.

the final season straight up has one of its main plots be about how nationalism causes people to dehumanize others and the cycle of hatred it can bring about

Because the MC lives with a good police officer. Even though one of the main villains is a corrupt police officer.

Kind of weird this is a game that says it's okay for men to have traditionally feminine interests and women can have traditionally masculine interests and really they just have to accept those parts of themselves to become better people. You would think conservatives would hate that.

My guess it's because of Kanji and Naoto not being what they wanted. The fact that people still insist on ignoring how Naoto's shadow was bringing up Naoto's age and how folks gave her shit and called her a child that didn't know her place and would rather be obsessed with how she dressed up as a guy to try and gain some level of respect from the same folks in the police force who would give her shit is mind-blowing. The shadow bosses in Persona 4 are an exaggeration of one person's thoughts, trauma, and issues.

Not speaking for that poster, but generally the problem people (such as myself) have with the writing of the Shadows in P4 aren't criticising the game's internal self-consistency. That's a diagetic analysis of the characters: within the world, the reason they feel how they do and reject their shadows is explained fine. The issue is that P4, as a whole, depicts LGBT identity as absurd warped versions of acceptable variance in a heteronormative society.

People on the internet have tried to clarify this with the terms "Watsonian" and "Doylist", to contrast how a trait of Sherlock Holmes would be described to you if you asked his partner Watson, versus the author Doyle. Watson might tell you that Sherlock took a trip to Egypt after reading a curious pamphlet left in his mailbox. Doyle might tell you it was because he wanted to write prose about an exotic setting away from London.

You're looking at the game with a Watsonian lens and seeing that their motivations are accounted for in-universe. I'm looking at the game with a Doylist lens and asking why, every time LGBT identity and appearance comes up in the game, it's depicted as a character misunderstanding themselves, their inner psyche being out of its mind. Why is it that this game with themes of accepting yourself and others goes out of its way to depict LGBT identities in the manner it does, and then have characters reject that possibility? Why is there an extended cross-dressing gag where the subject is used for disgust and humiliation?

And when I lay it out like that, isn't the answer pretty clear? The writers don't see LGBT identities as something normal that people should accept about themselves.
