[up] Ouch I specifically meant her general combat role but I forgot she actually took self-defense training.

Okay this is just mean. Why do they have to sleep outside? There's actually less boys then there are girls. Well technically 4 boys if you count Morgana but since he's a cat he takes up less space.

There's no space in the RV for all of them, so someone was going to sleep outside anyway.

They should all sleep outside, its funner.

Futaba could certainly use the outdoorsness. She's been a hikimori for the past several years.

See this is why I found the complaints of them not doing hijinks like in P4 or P3 was never a real opinion, because what they put the boys through in Strikers shows exactly what I expected if they did so.

I have no idea why they're still friends with the girls.

Remember when Ann didn't mind sharing a room with three other guys?

Also, isn't it Joker's RV? Why is he kicked out?

THIS is what I mean when I say, they're acting too much like cartoon characters. This seems like a gag from a bad sitcom.

[up][up] 4 did have some light-hearted scenes were the group actually act like friends. Those are the kind of scenes I wished had been in 5.

Not scenes like 4s hot spring scene. Even I didn't like that one.

[up] This reminds me of a certain movie.

Kind of the end result of someone's, like Hashino's, really shitty sense of humor. Like as mentioned, 5 had that moment in the hotel room where Ann straight up says she's comfortable spending the night with Joker and Ryuji because she trusts them. Even the obligatory "operation babe hunt" callback ends with Joker, Ryuji and Yusuke returning to see some random guys trying to creepily hit on Ann and Makoto and them realizing that sort of behavior is bullshit.....

but then the writers keep return back to these cliche well of "lol hot spring mix up/guys suffering slapstick because they're perverts" crap.

They straight up undermine all the characters when they do it.

i don't think blaming a single individual is going to work, especially since hashino has no involvement with Scramble, who did demonstrably worse on than font than Hashino did when he was working on P5.

It never has worked, which makes this crusade against Hashino weirder.

Regarding the RV, I doubt it would comfortably fit seven people and a cat, so someone would have to sleep outside.

Still a dumb scene though

I had no real interest in it beforehand, so the continuation of cringe-humour isn't going to change that.

I just want it to backfire on the girls who do this and end with the guys rightfully giving them shit and the girls knowing they were wrong. And it being held against them.

Vindictive? Yes But if they keep doing it then I'm gonna be vindictive.

Like, someone pointed out that Anne suddenly thinking the worst of Joker (and Ryuji) after earlier saying she trusted them enough to sleep in the same room as them means she really didn't trust them that much at all. It's kinda insulting to both of them (and Yusuke, though he did have the whole wanted to paint her naked thing), and like if this were more realistic, both of them should resent the fact that she then basically goes back on that and call her on it.

And then it should be definitively proven the girls were in the wrong, and they should feel ashamed, and they should get what they gave and not be forgiven.

Then again, I feel like this applies more to 4 (if you leave out the sneak attack bullshit and just have Yu reveal he knows the girls didn't belong there and call them out on it), and 3 (where Makoto and Akihiko should be revealed innocent and the girls apologize to them).

Like, no more bullshit. This has been happening for how many years now. I'm done with it.

I reiterate, it has been happening since 2008.

These are games for teenagers, we are adults. Its time to call a spade a spade.

Good idea.

I need a good spade for beating this trope to death.

...getting serious, [up] may have a point there. It's frustrating, but sometimes there's not much you can do.

These are games for teenagers, we are adults.

Are they though? If this poll is still accurate, less than 20% of Persona's player base is under 20. So it sounds less about being aimed at teenagers and more being aimed at adult men who want to pretend they were popular in high school like a Persona protagonist. Hell, there are more women playing this franchise than teenagers yet the female wish fulfillment is highly lacking. lol

Yeah Quiping at the wrong time can feel distracting in a MCU movie. Unless the movie is more comedic than others like Antman or Thor 3

Especially when the humour is routinely the worst part of every Persona game. This type of scene in particular.

In That 70's Show despite being friends Donna and Jackie are regularly at each other's throats because of their differing personalities and its hilarious.
