Junpei is good once he gets over his inferiority complex.
He's really good in P3P where his SL is just him being a really good friend and very wholesome guy.
He's really really good in The Answer, where his position of 'Everyone needs to stop acting dumb' is the easiest one to agree with.

Bewitching EyesJunpei sucks but that's because he's a shitty teenager when the story starts and then he grows up and becomes a better person.
It's really hard to do that character correctly, which made it all the weirder that he was followed up by Yosuke who embodied all the shitty parts with none of the humanity.
That's being disingenuous, but i can say that applies to all IT members because they decided character development can be ignored and put in SL only, and any spinoffs especially if they take place after the game must never have any of them undergo developement. Which makes Teddie all the worse because they tie his SL to rhe main story, and he's still fundamentally garbage poo when any spinoff is involved.
Every accusation by the GOP is ALWAYS a confession.And Chie and Yukiko are psychopaths who attempt to murder people with bad food who refuse to learn how to cook, attack every man in a vicinity, steal from others and always use violence as their first solution, like to play the victim when some guys haven't done anything wrong, and having a hyena laugh should make them funny.
Teddie exists.
Like we can just play the every initial member of the group in P4 are terrible in their own ways and only the latter three avoid it. And its precisely because they are anime archetypes. Who don't learn anything and remain the same in the spinoffs.

Every accusation by the GOP is ALWAYS a confession.How do I put this.
Chie and Yukiko are garbage, but they're pulp anime garbage. They're punchlines that exist for otaku. They aren't real.
Yosuke is painfully real in such a way that it's a mini tragedy he's not the best character in all of Persona. It's to the point where he's arguably the deepest character in all of modern Persona but all of it is wasted. He's not fun to be around, he says awful prejudiced shit to Kanji, but you have to sit next to him anyway.
Yosuke is a mouthpiece for the protagonist in the game so.......
And anime garbage has every right to be even more disgusted by. Because anime garbage can be some of the most realistic shit in how terrible it is. Like how every cartoon villain in P5 is shown to be painfully realistic with real life terrible human beings like corporate overlords.

Every accusation by the GOP is ALWAYS a confession.Best girls from each game for me
P1 and P2/2: Maya and SMT IF protag
P3: Yukari=Aigis=Elizabeth > Fuuka > Mitsuru > Metis
P4: Margaret > Naoto=Rise > Yukiko=Chie >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Marie
P5: Ann=Kasumi=Haru > Futaba=Lavenza > Caroline=Justine >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Makoto
Watch SymphogearBut you hate the P5 villains because the things they do accurately reflect actual circumstances real people face.
You're never going to be in a situation where you walk in on a Sexy High School Girl Group Path and they all get mad and throw washtubs at you. You're never going to be fed poison cooking or get kicked in the nads for not returning a DVD. You're never going to have your money stolen because a magic bear is now your roommate and he needs clothes.
Uh those last two have happened to me.
And it was a DVD being broken by mistake.
Edit: Sorry the middle two. Not the bear one. Well okay actually having my money stolen to buy clothes also happened, but not the magical bear part.

Every accusation by the GOP is ALWAYS a confession.The P4 cast are a bunch of dumb teenagers. Now, that doesn't make them likable (Depending on who you are anyways.) but just because they're not likable people doesn't mean they're badly written characters/deserve to be hated.
Ryuji and Ann are pretty much the perfected version of the dynamic started by Junpei and Yukari.
Junpei/Yosuske and Yukari/Chie were just too toxic, they spent all of their interactions bickering. Its supposed to come off Vitriolic Best Buds likely, but the writers forgot about the "best buds" part. You got the impression they didn't like each other and only tolerated each other out of necessity.
Ryuji and Ann do bicker, but it's a lot less mean spirited and there's genuine moments of camaraderie between them to balance it out. I don't blame people at all for shipping them because their interactions are genuinely sweet and heartwarming.
A lazy millennial who's good at what he does.Honestly when the mangas write the characters better It kinda makes me laugh. Yosuke actually got written better in the First Arena Manga and The Magician which actually had him interact with Kou and Daisuke, as Daisuke ingame mentioned he did hang out from time to time even if they weren't close Golden even had him vote for Yosuke when they were forced to crossdress.

I approve of the TED Talk that Yosuke is the worst.
The third option for every dialogue choice in P4 should have been "hit Yosuke with a bat."
