By interpreting Naoto as canonically* cis female while preferring fics where she's written as a trans male, I perform the rare path of pissing everyone in P4 fandom off simultaneously.



*for a virtue of canonicity that means "the other interpretation doesn't work for me, i can't fit this into canon no matter how hard i try"

The most textually queer member of the Phantom Thieves isn't Goro or Akira.

It's Yusuke.

i can see the appeal of trans guy yosuke but it kind of bothers me how every single fic features a yosuke who's already realized that he's trans and his main issue is realizing that he's gay

because honestly do you think yosuke has the kind of self-introspection necessary to realize you're trans without, like, fighting the anthropomorphic personification of your repressed Issues?

while i'm working on this t4t shutaba piece, every time i zoom out, i smile, because it's so fucking good and sweet, guys, i love it so much.

it's persona time bitches

(I now have an icon of a fictional character in front of a pride flag, does that make me an SJW now?)

Being in Persona 5 fandom makes the double standard with how fandom treats autistic-coded characters so fucking apparent, guys.

So, okay. There are two characters in the main party who share the distinction of being "autistic-coded", Yusuke and Futaba.

In the discourse, the prevailing opinion is that writing Yusuke as aspec is ableist towards autistic people, as it plays into the stereotype of autistic people being desexualized.

So you'd think that people would be okay with any kind of depiction of Futaba:

> Being explicitly non-straight
> Having sex
> Being in a romantic relationship
> Expressing romantic feelings towards anyone

But NOPE!

If you do all that, you get accused of FETISHIZING DISABLED WOMEN and BEING A PEDOPHILE!

So, of course, headcanoning her as aroace would be the only solution, but...

It's a neverending cycle of screaming Tumblrites appropriating the language of social justice to defend their preferred ships.

(And then of course, we get the people screaming about how There Can Only Be One Autistic Person Here, and then fighting over who the "real autistic" is, and it's stupid, it's so fucking stupid, guys.)

REDHEAD GIRL IS A NEW PARTY MEMBER THIS IS NOT A DRILL THIS IS NOT A DRILL THIS IS NOT A DRILL

Those people in the P5 fandom arguing over whether Yusuke or Futaba is The Autistic One are so funny to me.

You know...they could both be autistic...there isn't a spoken rule that...there must be only one autistic person in every friendgroup...
