Huh? Is it not commonsense that gay people in Japan would want more for their future than to avoid being outright persecuted? That they would want to be treated just like straight people? I've asked been to Japan and have had conversations with gay friends who are living in Japan about some of these issues. You do…

I'm not sure of all the scenes the article talks about, but there are two scenes that I have seen that used gay men to comical effect and it has nothing to do with the choice of voice actors. The script itself pushes the stereotypes.

I agree with your comments. However, while Japan may be a bit more tolerant about gay people they can be very close minded when it comes to other races etc. You touched on it in your comments. Japan is extremely xenophobic. They are polite to your face but there is a real darkness there that you don't even begin to…

Yea I have a massive amount of time in this game already and I honestly do not feel like my choices make any difference. Maybe that will change but so far no matter what I say I pretty end up with the same result.

Agreed. Its just weird if NPCs are just all over the place and will romance you no matter the gender. That isn't the way it is in reality and it makes it all seem fake. Include a gay character or two and/or a bi character but to make everyone bi is weak.

People keep saying that but I haven't warmed up to Makoto yet. She came in and started bossing everyone around. I still have my eye on Ann. She isn't the sharpest tool in the shed but seriously if my character is a japanese high school boy doesn't make sense he is going for the perky blonde even if she isn't the best…

I thought he was a gay character or at least asexual. Maybe something later happens in the story. You do make a valid point though that high school kids (especially in a place like Japan where conformity is an obsession) are not as likely to be coming out as fully gay at that age.

I don't think the character you play in persona 5 is super defined. I agree with you like if you are playing witcher 3 it would be kinda silly if all of a sudden Geralt was gay. That is because there is a whole backstory/books/love interests etc. In persona 5 if the main character was gay I'm not sure how that would…

That is offensive to attack someone for their opinion based on their perceived orientation/race.

Yea, I play persona 5 because I want to play a japanese game and that is what I like about it. Importing western views into the game would take away some of what makes it unique. That being said I don't think a M/M relationship would have been a big deal to include (especially when you look at the student/teacher…

If the author thinks this is slow he must really not be able to stand Better Call Saul, which moves extremely slow.

Yea that author doesn't seem to know much about television with these types of complaints. Maybe he needs another line of work? I thought the camera work and some of the shots in this episode were among the best I have seen on television. The episode was too slow for him? Its setting up a whole new season! Fargo is a…

They also had unemployed people living in a huge apartment in the village. Friends isn't something you watch for realism.

What I don't get is why she is naked like every frickin episode. Also, people rail about any comments about her body yet does anyone notice that all the men on the show are really fit? If they want to talk about realistic body images then what about the men? Also, its hardly realistic she would go from one good…

I went back and rewatched the pilot knowing everything we know up to today. A couple of things jumped out at me.

Yea Logan is just a jerk but not evil. He doesn't see the hosts as people he sees them as robots and nothing more. Even when he is trying to pull billy back you can see logan sees the park as just a diversion nothing more.

I don't think teddy is in the past is he? Teddy is running around with the MiB but I think he is in the present. I thought that teddy may be kinda an ode to young william. Someone to look after delores after he left the park. I am hoping that the MiB did what he did to help delores. I believe the answer to that…

Yea I don't see how the MiB can be logan. I think its more likely that Teddy is a robotic version of young billy.

What is interesting is that there is a backdoor in the code. Maeve hasn't mentioned that so I don't think she realizes there is a way Ford can control her still.

I don't think William saves Delos. Delos is the company that saves westworld I believe. When the MiB talks about saving westworld 30 years earlier I do not believe he is referring to a financial bailout. I believe he is referring to the events that are going to occur in the finale.
