Itâs Chilumi Week on twitter so I decided if I would participate for just one day Iâll do it with a huge bang. Said bang probably happened inside of my PC at some point.

Totally wild to come back but I guess here we are for more stupid shit
First Genshin Impact MMD request from a certain discord server. Wholesome adepti family. Open to requests on Tumblr via asks but thereâs no guarantee Iâll accept your request.
Low quality edit because Iâm salty. Now this is canon ending and ATLUS can suck my ass.
This thing took a lot of my time but I kinda like how it turned out
I absolutely love that we got so many Goro-retaled things on today's stream! I'm looking forward to seeing his new interactions with the team!!
I overslept the stream but when I saw Goro alive and as a Black Mask in the team I just had to do that instantly.
naoto shirogane is not trans.
before we begin, iâd like to preface this post with saying that i have no problem with headcanons. however, i personally criticize headcanons that go against canon, erase an important message, or erase a characterâs traits. and i cannot help but feel so strongly about a headcanon when it goes so blatantly against a character and when it happens to be a character i deeply care about.
naoto, throughout the course of the game, makes an effort to present/pass as male and wishes that she could have been born male. without context, itâs easy to understand why some may misinterpret this as her being trans. what is important to grasp here is what her motivations are behind these things to begin with.
the most significant factor is that the game is set in japan - you canât look at this story in a western perspective because unfortunately, sexism is a major issue in japan. women are seen as less capable than men, and this is especially prevalent in male-dominated career fields. from a young age, naoto was exposed to what a detective should be, and as a result tried to change herself to fit this âidealâ in order to be respected by her coworkers.
to put it into simple terms: naoto believed she had to change herself to fit her âidealâ image of a detective. she believed that it would be more convenient and easy for her to have been born male because, in her eyes, it is the only way for her to be respected and accepted by other people.
now, whatâs also important to understand is what actually motivates a trans person to transition/wish to transition. the thing is, if you were to put a trans person on an island with no gender roles, no society, etc, they would still want to transition because of gender dysphoria - a disconnect between their brain sex (gender) and their birth sex. itâs entirely internal. they want to transition to relieve personal discomfort. (yes, trans people still wish to be accepted, but it is not the direct source of their motivations).
see, thatâs the difference between naoto and a trans person. naoto is entirely motivated by external factors - her motivation is to be accepted by other people, whereas one who is trans is motivated by internal factors. if it were not for sexism in japan, naoto would have no reason to present as male or wish to have been born male. what she struggles with is internalized misogyny, not gender dysphoria.
another reason why headcanoning naoto as trans goes against canon is because naoto herself says that she is a woman. she directly states that her true desire was never to be a man, but to be accepted.
naotoâs character arc is a narrative on workplace sexism in japan. itâs important to acknowledge this because many women, iâm sure, could relate heavily to naotoâs struggles. by saying she is just trans, you are in turn minimizing and undermining the struggles of those who experience the same thing as naoto on a day to day basis. it trivializes the issue and essentially says that these kinds of experiences donât matter.
to those who argue about representation:
i understand why you would like trans representation in media. as someone who is also lgbt, i really do understand the struggle of not being able to find a character who is lgbt that i can relate to. however, this isnât about trans representation. itâs better to try and find representation in a character that is actually trans. can you really say that naoto is âtrans representationâ if she was never intended to be representation to begin with? if she directly states that she is a woman? iâm not sure thatâs the definition of good representation.
to summarize this post, naoto is not trans because a) she shows no indication of experiencing gender dysphoria, b) only wishes to be a man because she feels itâs the only way to be accepted by others, and c) because thatâs not the intentions of her character arc.
by saying she is trans, you are doing the exact opposite of what naoto would want, at the end of the day. she wants to be accepted as she is - a woman. by molding and changing her character to fit your ideals, you are doing to her exactly what she was trying to do in order to appease other people.Â

Elaborate more.
theyâre both jerks who arenât bad people. growing up, they werenât able to trust anyone, and they both pushed people away to survive (togami accusing them that they might poison his food is a big indicator that he has Been Through Some Shit). they have (some) similar interests, theyâre intelligent and play off each other well (when she wants, she can quip back at him, other times she plays along more). they have a very interesting dynamic and fukawa can show togami that love can make you stronger, it doesnât have to be a weakness, while togami teaches fukawa that âyou gain meaning in life by personal growthâ and because of him, she goes from wanting a white knight to protect her or w/e to her wanting to be strong enough to protect him (see her fantasies in drae) and be depended on. sheâs very loyal which is good for togami, and he is a no nonsense person whoâs brutally honest and more than happy to bring her to reality when needed.
yeah there are some issues but theyâre worked through and people who say âwah togafuka is badâ need to play past the second chapter of the game. in ch3, itâs implied they did the dirty (also between the end of chapter 2 and sometime in chapter 3, she goes from togami-kun to byakuya-sama). in chapter 4, after he learns to take peopleâs emotions more seriously, he compliments her on finding a knife. he didnât HAVE to, but he did.Â
compare and contrast how he tells naegi to die to his face several times while he never says it outright to fukawa. heâs only like âiâd rather she be deadâ AFTER itâs shown she isnât dead or canât be dead, and then what happens in the bad ending when sheâs dead? he holds her death portrait.Â
also yadda yadda matching birthdays he was redesigned to be her love interest.

THIS IS SO SOFT AND CUTE, EVEN BETTER THAN I IMAGINED, THANK YOU SO MUCH, BLESS THIS BLOG.
Actually the best way to cheer me up lol
I get why people like Makoto, and I donât like her personally, but Iâm really, really tired of the discourse about her as a character
(Fluffy ear ruffles intensifies)
I feel my head running and I still have lots of job to do but Iâm giving myself a 30 mins break to chill at least a bit sketch feat goro akechi.png
There, Atlus in the most recent royal interview confirmed they aren't porting P5 to any other platform. They were directly asked and they said no. You guys can not stop spamming 'P5 for Switch' on every social media post Atlus makes now. Seriously, you are sooo annoying, I was starting to hope they'd never do a switch release to spite the obnoxious behavior.
