Why are the Japanese like this?

I like how everybody consistently gets hit with culture shock from the same cartoonish gags that are a staple of Japanese writing. Persona always gets the strongest reactions because it’s many peoples first piece of Japanese media.

They spent the whole game hating him

>>716093324
and its shit every time

>>716093324
It's pretty jarring when a country that's internationally known for being extremely polite and reserved often inserts gags into their media where one character will violently brutalize another and play it off as a joke. Especially then it's only ever done with one gender being the aggressor and the other being the victim.

These guys probably whine about inclusivity in western games

>>716094973
>Muh violent cartoons
You must be a hit in parties.

>>716094973
That’s a common trope in Western culture too, the women beating up a man (whether in anger or frustration) has been around since the Greeks. It only hits different (heh) now because corporations want to reduce people into amorphous consumer blobs, which means removing gender roles for maximal profits.

you simp for corpos

>>716094973
It’s just some Tom and Jerry Looney Tunes shit. The Japanese keep slapstick alive.

>>716092943 (OP)
It's even so much the joke as having it directly after a big emotional scene for a character that was already getting ragged on a lot.

>>716095417
Thinking about all the things Western culture gave up to become a transient economic zone really hurts my head, especially when I get reminded of old archetypes by Japanese media.

Remember when women were allowed to pine for men, and would spruce themselves up to appeal to their male gaze?

>You dont like it because you're new
No anon, exact opposite, its a predictable joke that lost its punchline ages ago and starts to feel noticeably out of place when presented in something without a constant slapstick humor appeal to it.

>>716095649
I bet you still basedface when the faceless hacker is revealed to be a woman, or the big tough white jock is gay, or the lady knight is having an affair with the princess, or the black woman is the genius.

Punchlines can be found on both sides of the Pacific, at least Japan’s aren’t at your expense.

>>716095414
Yes it's the corpos that put those jokes in the games. Holy shit you are out of touch

>>716092943 (OP)
P4 was the better game but its scene was worse because Rise admits they were wrong about going into the hot spring

Take your meds anon and realize how retarded you are being.

They knew he was too strong.

This has to be a troll. I refuse to believe this shit is real. What the fuck is wrong with woman man. Rape needs to be legal.

>>716093324
It's just a bad scene. It's not funny and generally never was because it's the most overplayed joke ever in both the west and the east. It's straight up retarded since the game spends the whole time shitting on Ryuji for no specific reason and it just comes out of nowhere when the game is already overstaying its welcome. When does P5 ever have this kind of slapstick humor? It's like Hashino had a personal hateboner for Ryuji.
