So in some videogame related news, Atlus just announced and posted a trailer for a remake of Persona 3. Pretty normal gaming news right? Yet the response I've seen on reddit and elsewhere has literally been batshit crazy.
They announced that it was gonna be a straight up remake and not include any of the portable content (Which added a female main character route). This has people I guess losing their fucking minds calling it misogynistic and "heteronormative" or other crap about how they're gonna boycott Atlus and not buy the game and yada yada yada.
Like who cares? It's a remake, they can make it however they want. Not to mention the female mc they're creaming over was only in the portable remake and never mentioned in any of the official works. Yet these people are foaming at the mouth over it? Have videogamers always been this crazy, like is a portable spinoff character from 14 years ago worth to sperg over? I just don't understand it and wonder if I'm alone in it.
Regarding the adult children, this is the same age group that would put their Harry Potter house on their LinkedIn profile. The characters in their media consumption is a core part of what they are. It's literal genocide to them as is every thing else that makes them less than perfectly happy.
Yeah my generation honestly worries me sometimes. It's like the girls I see my age who will post online that they're latest relationship didn't work out because they're zodiac signs or didn't match. Like you're nearing 30, I'm sure there is other reasons it didn't work out.
I have come to believe that women have always done this, but due to the internet their "woe is me, moon was in the wrong house" bullshit is on display for all to see instead of being localized, similar to other groups publicly posting their Ls and then being confused when no one wants to associate with them.
