>cut content implies a Yosuke romantic relationship was considered during development
>no such content found for Kanji whose character arc revolves around his sexuality and gender identity
Was he just too powerful?

Kanji is gay tho

Yosuke is in the closet. Kanji isn't, but secretly thinks he is.

>>718452496 (OP)
Kanji isn't gay and his story doesn't involve either of those things.

>>718452496 (OP)
Sex with Rise (male)

>>718452756
his story is explicitly that he feels less of a man because he enjoys girly things, then coming to terms that men are allowed to enjoy things like sewing. That's gender identity 101

>>718452496 (OP)
I thought Kanji's character arc revolved around masculinity? Like, people called him gay as an insult because it was the 2000s and he had a hobby that wasn't stereotypically hyper-manly
It's been forever since I played P4 but I still distinctly remember his shadow outright asking
>What does it mean to be "a guy"? What does it mean to be "manly"?

>le kanji gay
>He was actually so straight that his dick immediately knew that Naoto was a qt tomboy while everyone else had to wait till way later to find out that Naoto is a girl

>>718452820
if you had to lower the game to faggy terms that didn't exist until after it came out, what you would be describing is expression, not identity.

Whats wrong with nu-sona fans?

Every one is gay at your Junes

I don't see a problem with putting the cut Yosuke romance in the remake, dude is a fag anyways.

>>718454031
We did not gatekept Persona and now it's overflowing with secondaries who never played the game, but watched a 6 hour long retrospective and want P4 to tell the exact opposite story of what it did.
>No, don't grow up, assume your shameful parts of subconsciousness as your default identity and become a parody of yourself, and or you're heckin' Xphobic.

>>718454743
Seethe, Yosuke is meant for Labrys.

>>718452854
His issues with masculinity are what lead to his issues with sexuality. Him failing to be a vague masculine ideal is what made people call him a fag, which leads to him overcompensating, his overcompensation then leads to him feeling even lonelier because he's both being dishonest with himself as well as pushing others away because his intimidating aura and to protect his fragile persona. Which then leads him to doubt his masculinity even further because if he's a masculine man why would this feel wrong?
In the end he spells out it's always been about acceptance and a fear that he'd be rejected because people didn't understand him.
It's a pretty compelling portrayal of toxic masculinity

>It's a pretty compelling portrayal of toxic masculinity
Yes it is, and it proves none of these loud people ever cared about teaching any lessons to anyone. They took one of the best stories about toxic masculinity ruining someone's life in media and threw it away, to push anal sex fetish for good boy points instead.

>>718454754
Gatekeeping is impossible in the modern age because anyone can play games and communities aren't physical and can exist anywhere in the digital space. You can't stop them from playing or freeze them out of the conversation.
The only way to "gatekeep" is to actually be in a role in the industry to influence the game dev process. Which ironically the people who want to gatekeep never do but the people they want gatekept constantly do.

>shipping Yosuke with bawstin dynamics toaster
Damn man, I hate Yosuke but not that much.

>>718455227
Better than wanting him to get AIDS.

>>718452496 (OP)
Yosuke and Kanji are both straight.
Persona 4 is a game about popular and well adjusted people putting uglies and misfits back in their fucking place.
If either Brosuke or Kanji was a freak, he'd be an antagonist just like other freaks we deal with in the game.

>>718452975
He liked her cause she looked like a dude.

>>718456247

>Has a twink that lives in his closet that dresses up like a cute girl

that's kinda gay anon

Anon... That's a rapist, bear-shaped, collective, negative emotion.

Yosuke is built for robot pussy.

>>718456835
He's carefully and masterfully crafted for Tight Android Gash.

Kanji's entire character arc was about gender stereotypes. Dude liked knitting, he believed everybody would perceive him as gay, Naoto coming along only confused matters further, thus had a complex over it.

>>718456307
He liked her because he subconsciously felt the cute girl with big tits particles.

>>718456978
He liked her because he felt that she too was dealing with gender stereotype bullshit.

>>718456993
Nah

WHAT THE FUCK DOES THE COMIC SAY??? WHY HAS NOBODY ASKED WHAT THE COMIC SAYS? I WANNA KNOW WHY RISE IS SHOCKED

>>718458312
Rise says
>senpai <3
Kanji responds with
>Ah?
As he turns around and Rise goes:
>GYAAAAAAAAAAA
But I'm only N4, so don't take my word for it.

>>718458576
thanks anon

>>718452496 (OP)
Kanji is gay because he treats Rise like she's a disgusting creature.
That is 100% homo behavior.

>>718458764
nah he's just based and was never gay cause his heart is only for naoto

>>718458764
she is a woman, she IS a disgusting creature

>>718458764
>treats hoe like a hoe
I see nothing wrong with it

>>718452975
i always romance naoto to make sure kanji can't have her

>>718458764
They're bros. Game implies they're hanging out in spare time.

Yosuke POUNDED an enemy.

>because he treats Rise like she's a disgusting creature
Rise is a homewrecking slut if you're already dating someone by the point she appears. Kanji did nothing wrong.

>>718454031
Golden brought in fans from tumblr and it never recovered

>>718460517
If people ITT claim them hitting on Shirogane is okay, because she'll be happier with them more than with Kanji, then why do they raise this argument against Rise?
She clearly thinks Yu is better off with her, the way she keeps hitting on Yu despite even rejection and dating other girls.
I don't like it a lot either, but she's not cheating on anyone, and Narukami is not married to anyone yet, why is she so bad for chasing a man she's in love with?
