this is either going to be the best thing ive ever watched or the worst thing even written
me when i remember that most people dont care to notice the very obvious political narrative in p5
broad stokes? i agree with him 100%. in the end, what you seem to be fighting for in p5 is the status quo. but, where i disagree with him is the conclusion, and on one key point; where he refuses to call it "bad writing" i do. i think its just bad writing. i think the the ingredients, the recipe used to cook p5 is purrfect but they fucked up the baking so bad it came out both under cooked and burnt. royal doesnt exactly fix this but it strengthens it so that its passable, at least in a way. idk. can i start getting communist
anyway, uh in the recommendations after that video i saw this one. i think im a bout to have a really good time.
i mean, yea. really good. its 10 minutes long so it doesnt really get into the meat of, well, anything, like i think it deserves to, but its. i mean, its good. really good summation of the general points, or whatever. persona 5 is a deeply and decidedly political story, and specifically an anti-fascist, or more generally anti-authoritarian, one. i cant even really say i disagree with anything he says, since its all in such broad strokes, other than that i think his assessment of individualism vs collectivism is lacking nuance, and not even in the way that he admits to. but. eye twitches. can we talk about makoto.
also watched his video on morgana, fur good measure. yea, uh, true. idk, i think the problem with a lot of these types of essays is that they are unwilling to, one, call something shitty writting, and two, write fanfiction, imagine something better. i think what should stem from "i hated morgana" should be "how could he be better? how could i write him better?" also i, regretably and shamefully, do not care about ryuji. i think hes great i think hes lovely but i just. can not bring myself to put him in my crosshairs. sorry. wish i could. i think hes just not queer enough for my tastes. put that boy in some leather and i could start talking
i feel like this is diverging from the orginal thread to the point that i should just like, make another one. ore maybe like. three more. actually im pretty much done with ryuji i just need to talk about makoto and get communist about morgana. see u there 🫡
