This is my only opinion on this discourse currently spawning from the new P4R dev interview

[habitual-truant]

im only really worried with p4r because, even if it was done poorly and in mean spirit, homophobia and queerness in general is pretty damn important to the game.

with kanji, his whole thing is abt toxic masculinity and being ashamed of liking feminine things and liking men. It was handled poorly, but the core themes are still there. If the devs are referring to kanji’s story being rewritten to be more tasteful, sure. if it’s being rewritten almost entirely, because kanji’s entire arc was pretty much treated like a joke from the get go? not sure how happy i’d be with that.

With yosuke, which i feel is probably more likely what atlus is talking about, he does make homophobic jokes and remarks at kanji’s expense. pretty much exclusively for the audience’s amusement, but i do feel it’s significant characterization. ESPECIALLY in the context that yosuke was most likely written to be a love interest to yu. yosuke’s got internalized homophobia turned external, tale as old as time. it would make sense for atlus to remove these jokes because the intention probably was not to characterize yosuke in such a way, but they did. so it would feel like a weird retcon, but much better than if they messed with kanji to a significant degree.

with the other two games the jokes were just jokes with no deeper meaning, but in persona 4, these jokes are definitely significant to the game’s story in one way or another

New Persona 4 Revival Promo video of Yosuke rolling around in a trash can while Yu watches and doesn't help

[princeyosukeofjunes]

[strawberrypeachcurses]

[mischief7x]

.... So they're neutering Teddie, right?

[liorlen]

[vixscribs]

Everyone’s best friend john persona 4

[hypersmilepower]

the more i think on yosuke and his loneliness before yu came to inaba makes me so upset

moving to a town he didnt even want to go too and immediately hated by the residents cause junes is killing the local businesses. as well the fact his friends from the city didnt even bother to message him has me so... ouh

probably as well didnt really have people to call his friends as well... yeah he probably talked to chie and yukiko but probably didnt class each other as friends, maybe more as classmates than friend...

soso... the idea that yu seeing his shadow,, him at his absolute worst and still hangs out with him? calls him his best friends has probably got to be such whiplash to him. hes so used to being left behind and and..

ah sorry this is a ramble ... im probably missing things or jaut getting things incorrect butough sorry young me relates to him a lot

It took DAYS of Ryuji and Joker being besties living together to start having the slightest of a crush.

And then you have Homotron 5000, also known as Yosuke Hanamura who, minutes after creating him, was already crushing on Yu without even knowing him.
