Rolling Stone liking it, and most especially its politics, is enough reason for me to have 0 interest in playing it. That's for sure.

Yeah. Calling it "surprisingly political and very timely" suggests that it is poorly-disguised Orange Man Bad! Diversity Good! propaganda.

I can't find the poast for it, but apparently they stole the ass off the redhead in the black body suit, as well.

You should be instantly suspicious of any popular media that isn’t being openly attacked by leftists.

There’s a merchant who loves profits, but hates capitalism

Real communism for once!

a brawler who wants to execute the rich after a lifetime of racial oppression

Neo communism via racial grievance.

The prince’s most capable and loyal knights are a woman and an old man

Get fucked, bigots.

Unusual for Atlus and video games in general, Black people exist and occupy prominent roles

Worshipping blacks.

He’s a powerful and charismatic villain, a case study in Machiavellian principles, and a thinly veiled indictment against modern demagoguery

Orange man bad.

in a time when oppression and injustice are sanctioned at the highest levels and speaking truth to power is a novelty reserved for a handful of late-night comedy sketches

He thinks Stephen Colbert is speaking truth to power as he echoes the narratives of every captured institution and corporation in the west.

The only people speaking truth to power in 2024 are the voters threatening to oust the globalist traitors from western governments.

Coincidentally, those dissident voters are the only ones suffering consequences.

don't forget the dancing syringes.

...side note, I still can't believe he did this unironically. When did we stop mocking cringe-inducing bullshit like this and start actually doing it again!?!

People like this can't be saved. Straight to the asylums.

asylums

Why waste the money at this point?

Because they can still be brought back into society once they are placed in a safe and healthy environment where the de-programming can take place.

Machiavellian principles

The thing about Machiavellian principles is that they work. You might be against them, you might prepare against them but they are observable. They work so much the left already adopted them, hence the 'when we get rid of whitey we will achieve world peace'

Also, I would hardly call Trump Machiavellian. He's the most open, up-front, straightforward political figure that I've seen outside of maybe someone a Ron Paul or Thomas Massie.

Apparently this game is selling well.. this means we might see more of this crap from atlus. And might influence other japanese devs that make jrpgs to do the same thing. Rip.

Westerns lowcalizers must be feeding that kind of propaganda to Atlus. They must've told them P5 was popular because muh politics and Raidou was problematic. Remember when they were saying Atlus were crypto-nationalists because his uniform was a dogwhistle? I member

You know I was half interested in it, just because I enjoy the Atlus slop experience. Didn't know anything about the story, just that it was probably going to be fun to play as always.

And every bit of review prior to release and after has spoken 0 about the gameplay and talked a shit ton about The Message in it and how much its about racism and literal "all groups coming together to work for the common good."

Not even just the localization, but the actual Japanese text is hardly better and mostly just less specifically American in its word choice.

Third world migrants from brown countries like africa and middle east or india doesnt benefit the country they are flooding. Does it make it safer? No. Does it make it more comfortable and clean? No. Does it make the average person more rich? No.

My red flags went up when I saw all the usual suspects giving it glowing marks.

I mean, at least it's a quality game? They didn't fill it with ugly characters, Atlus has an established style and quality and, they didn't gut an existing franchise. If it sells, good for them, but I wonder how many people are aware it's a DEI fairy tale? Besides the name being overly on the nose, I never heard anyone say what the content was really about.

Just funny how the japs are even doing better than the west at making woke trash.

No.

It's clearly not even worth the effort of pirating. Rolling stone wouldn't approve of it otherwise.

Even if it wasn't propaganda you should wait until Atlus releases the Royal/V/Redux version in a few months
