Or why every fandom hurts… sometimes. Yes, said in that “Everybody hurts” song melody.
Naoto fan one: Naoto is trans! The game is killing her character!
Naoto fan two: Naoto is NOT trans! Did you not play the game at all?! She’s a woman!
Naoto fan three: That’s right. She’s a woman! But… she’s TOO WOMANLY IN THE NOVEL WHAT ARE YOU DOING ATLUS?!
Naoto fan four: It’s not them! They didn’t do it!
Naoto fan five: I don’t care , she’s awesome either way. I mean, isn’t the point of the game to have the characters be comfortable with who they really are? The fact that Naoto embraces herself-
Naoto fan six: Shut up! She's androgynous! … still a woman, but androgynous! No boobs at all, no boobs! Stupid P4G ending! How dare they put her in sensible clothing and have her be happy with herself!
Naoto fan seven: So you want her to be androgynous, and a woman, but not have breasts?!
Naoto fan eight: It doesn’t matter either way, she’s trans you idiots! Atlus was just too chicken shit to push the envelope, they’re a bunch of cowards, what with their school kids who shoot themselves in the head and school kids who face themselves and deal with gender and sexuality issues…
Naoto fan nine: Atlus DOES push the envelope! I mean, she’s NAKED IN THE SHOWER, SO HAWT!
Naoto fan ten: Again, NOT Atlus, they just let the writer have the rights to create the story…
Naoto fan eleven: But the cover art is the original artist, right? So…
Naoto fan twelve: I just want my Kanji and Naoto o.k.?!
Naoto fan thirteen: It’s all about Souji and Naoto.
Naoto fan fourteen: But Souji degrades her by making her wear that uniform, he’s an asshole!
Naoto fan fifteen: … but isn’t that optional-
Naoto fan sixteen: Shut up! He’s sexist! Atlus is sexist for making Naoto a woman!
Naoto fan seventeen: Yeah! She’s a boy!
Naoto fan eighteen: Yep! And Kanji is gay and they have lots of fantastic gay sex.
Naoto fan nineteen/Kanji fan one: Kanji is NOT gay! Did you even play the game?!
Kanji fan two/Yosuke hater one: He is gay! And Yosuke is homophobic and needs to die!
Yosuke fan one: You know… that’s not really-
Yosuke hater: It’s true! He’s homophobic but in love with Souji!
Yosuke fan two: … whut?
Persona 4 fan one: You know, I think everyone just needs to relax. Can’t we all agree that Persona 4 is phenomenal and-
Persona 3 fan one: Persona 4 is NOTHING compared to the greatness that is Persona 3!
Persona 4 fan two: Untrue. Persona 4 is amazing, I love the anime!
Persona 4 fan three: Did you play the game? If not, don’t even talk to me, you can’t appreciate the greatness that is Persona 4 unless if you played the game.
Persona 4 fan four: That shouldn’t matter! Yu Narukami rocks!
Persona 4 fan five: THAT’S NOT HIS NAME OMG IT’S SOUJI SETA!
Me: *cries*
