Persona Hate Thread

[trickybus]

It’s in a Gamers DNA to complain I don't know why y’all are shocked there’s a hate thread.

I'm just confused. Is it the dog that's racist? He's the whitest character I can think of.

[SpcDaicon]

It's too unrealistic, my time in high school wasn't like whatever it is in these games

THEY LIED TO US!

As someone who doesn't own a purse, I did not understand the Purse Owner games. None of the character's even had a purse!

Same! For a franchise called Fursona there was a distinct lack of Furry Conventions and yiffing, massive disappointment.

Also, its a harem game yet no one clowns on it like they do harem anime---it treats its female characters like accessories yet there are so many female fans who ignore that (why arent you guys mad? stop giving atlus money!!); they make sure you can date your teacher in every game but will still add random, unnessecary, homophobic/racist/mysoginistic scenes/instances, yet no one has a problem with that. i just dont get it---its harem shit, it should not be this popular.

Being serious for a bit:

I've seen a whole bunch of harem anime and I can confirm that no it's not, not even close. That's more like an optional temporary route that amounts to practically nothing. Compare that to something like Date a Live and you'll see disparities QUICK

Where did you get "it treats its female characters like accessories" because this is the first I've ever heard of that. Closest is arguably Ann who's sexualised to the max in battles but that's a single character in one out of 5 games, and even then I still don't fully get the argument because Ann has an actual personality and is quite independent. If you wanted to reach then maaaaaybe Persona 4's murders but like

Spoiler: Purse Owner 4

the dude doing that shit is a character you're supposed to make fun of

random, unnessecary, homophobic/racist/mysoginistic scenes/instances, yet no one has a problem with that.

I especially don't get this. The only thing I get is the first one because people often point to the crossdressing scene in 4 and the beach guys in 5 but I need clarity on the others because the closest I've seen to the middle is the botched Persona 1 localisation and the latter being the point I made above

PLAY THE ANTHEM!

Idk dude. I thought they were fun. I do agree the homophobia in 5 really bugged me. It's a tiny tiny thing but I noticed it.

Played 1-5 and had a "like"/hate relationship with all of them. They have some unique/interesting story ideas sometimes (usually nonsensical though), have fucking awesome soundtracks, but overall it just pisses me off how popular the series is with all its flaws. The majority of their characters are just copy-pasted every game; game mechanics are boring, don't take any interesting turns and get less creative every installment (RIP P2 silly interactions). You are clearly meant to play the game in a certain way and it will punish you if you don't follow that, its frustrating. Also, its a harem game yet no one clowns on it like they do harem anime---it treats its female characters like accessories yet there are so many female fans who ignore that (why arent you guys mad? stop giving atlus money!!); they make sure you can date your teacher in every game but will still add random, unnessecary, homophobic/racist/mysoginistic scenes/instances, yet no one has a problem with that. i just dont get it---its harem shit, it should not be this popular.

The harem is the best part also you can't date your teacher in every game, only in Persona 5, which now makes me think you haven't actually played all these games.

 

[pHoeniX_WRIght]

Idk I like to hate on the series just for the memes and stuff, I can't bring myself to say it THAT BAD, just has some issues on the writing, especially in 5

Uh I mean... Fatlus bad, gooner game... aDaChI

 

[RageBurner]

I don't like Persona, but I don't want to waste energy hating on it. I just don't play it, that's all; I've always been on the SMT camp.

 

[Yousef]

Honestly this is one of the funniest threads we’ve had in a long time.

I get you, op. Persona embodies everything I hate about modern Anime. I cannot understand for the life of me why it is popular. And the gameplay is the same as every other SMT game. Somehow it is the best JRPG series ever to some people.

I personally think Unicorn Overlord is ten times the game of any Persona title.

 

[Faust03]

I don't actually hate these games, I just can't relate to them lol

I hate Otaku culture and Persona embodies some of the worst tropes in Otaku oriented media.

Can we get a Mods hate thread next? Ragey scammed me out of a Police Academy DVD and gave me a Killer Klowns from Outer Space one, KKFOS is a better film but I payed good money for that Police Academy disc! /j

No, he can't stop drawing dick monsters! How else am I supposed to post dicks to SFW forums??

Is it because the furries right ?

There are furries in Unicorn Overlord? I haven't reached that part yet.

sorry for the spoiler whoops

 

[Strategist's iconStrategist]

sorry for the spoiler whoops

Ah, no worries. If you are referring to the beast nation, I'm about to get to that part. Gives me something to look forward to, I guess.

 

[trickybus]

What Persona lacks in furries it makes up for in femboy candidates
