okay... I've only got sojiro rank 10 left and futaba's at rank 7... let's just hope I don't get fucked up by turning down the romance route
#☢️.txt#roz replays p5r#i have 4 days for futaba left im p sure?#so. assuming i dont get completely fucked over by atlus making all the girls desperately in love with you regardless of if it makes sense#i SHOULD be fine#hopefully. chihaya will save me.#genuinely tho it irks me so much that futaba has a romance option#the rest of the game treats her like your sister. sojiro specifically asks you not to date her.#sojiro + futaba + joker are referred to as a family!!!! theyre treated as family!!!!!! what the fuck atlus!!!!!!#also i get so annoyed when ppl use the excuse of 'adoptive siblings arent considered siblings in japan'#yeah and adopted children typically arent viewed as actual children either. the game is pretty clear thats fucked up.#very annoying when ppl pull the 'in japanese culture' card on the game about why a lot of japanese culture is actually Fucked Up#ik most p5r players probably havent spent hours reading translated interviews and reading academic papers on japanese sociocultural issues#because theyre not Actually Insane but i still get mad. esp when its stuff the game... literally addresses?#like the stuff around ann i get. the game doesnt go into how 'european features' are heavily fetishized in japan#nor the nuances of being mixed + foreign/percieved as foreign. bc it assumes the player Knows Those Things#so it makes total sense why a western player wouldnt get why ann being white passing isnt... really a good thing for her#but like. the issue of how adopted children in japan are treated comes up THREE SEPARATE TIMES.#futaba and akechi BOTH mention how fucking horrific the japanese foster system is#yusuke mentions how he has madarame to thank for his life... because he couldve had it worse in group homes#sojiro's entire confidant is about how he's a father despite having no biological children#gah. it bothers me sooooo much.#btw i did not read academic papers on japanese sociocultural issues JUST for p5r. i also did it for ace attorney.#a lot of overlap actually since AA is essentially commentary on how jpn courts fucking suck and falsely convict people
