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.
The Persona fanbase is full of a special kind of retard because alphabet people thought two characters in p4 were part of the rainbow mafia (completely missing the actual message of their character arcs as usual) which brought in a bunch of woke fans to the series because they think it gives representation when in actuality it doesn't.
That's why so many retards bitched about p5 not letting the male protag date guys, or why so many people insist that there should have been an option to make a female protag playable despite the fact that the mc being female in p5 would completely break the story and would require a crap ton more work for something only a very small percent of the fans would even give a shit about. The only reason p3p has a female protag option was because they cut back on so many features so it could run on the psp (game basically became a visual novel outside of dungeons) that they gave the female protag option to try and make up for it. Outside of crossover games she's basically almost non canon anyway.
