Also, it turns out she’s trans and a fundamental part of the plot is her explaining directly into the camera about how she, like all trans people, is *some fucking TERF nonsense I won’t propagate*.

I’m as excited about more Persona news as the next phan-atic, but I have concerns. For starters, the original game barely had time for the characters already there (poor rich Haru’s only purpose was there for *spoiler* to *spoiler* and then barely had anything to do with the story afterwards).

I was hoping for a female protagonist a la P3P, so I'm a little disappointed.

Gatherer doesn’t have alternate card arts (especially foreign ones)

I’d rather company try to capitalize on trend rather than pointlessly attempt to shut down anything that might “damage the brand” so kudos on them for that.

Could be worse, at least they aren’t having an NPC try to sell it to you:

“Yeah but could you have imagined if Sonya Blade had gone back in time and enacted Suffrage in 1100AD and women were seen as equals?! What if I were to make a male character make the world male dominated and gave only men rights!? WTF! Crazy!”

and yet we have game like The Division where you can carry 100 guns in one single backpack.

I’m trying to understand why preventing black slavery = white genocide to some people?

They couch it as a threat to the “artistic integrity of the medium,” but as most of them have never created anything more complex than a self-insert-as-hero fanfic, their understanding of artistry—and especially collaborative artistry—is exceptionally limited.

There is nothing in the goddamned world like the absolute fragility of folks who occupy majority (race/ethnicity/sex/sexual orientation/religious affiliation) status feeling like they might have to share the pie they’ve previously had 99% of.

Think about this for just a moment: Every time someone screams about “SJWs,”…

Was just speaking to my friends about this supposed outrage, and man, how far have we fallen to take offense in having a black character going back in time to prevent slavery. It's not only outrageous, it's sad . . .

She’s still an exception and not the rule. That’s the problem.

I mean they literally have two robots and a hamster in before her if that doesnt speak to priorities. Not to mention Doomfist only made it in because he was like the main baddie and in the very first short. If Doomfist hadnt been black do you honestly think there would be one (a black character period) by now?

Drinking game: take a shot some asshole has a hissy fit anytime someone wonders why a major video game is missing an entire race and class of people.

I have a concern.

I guess black girl magic is just too hard to balance properly 🤷‍♀️

They could have given Ashe that face and no one would be none the wiser.

Drinking game: take a shot any time someone says “what about [insert any character darker than a summer tan]!?”
