So often non-Jewish people will talk confidently about Jewishness and say they are an “atheist” while betraying how clear it is that they grew up culturally Christian in a white American Christian hegemonic society. Jewishness is an ethnicity and a culture. We have histories, we have folklore, we have languages, we have shared moralistic beliefs, we have complex inter community philosophical discussions, and yes we also have religion that is inextricable from these things. If I never did, said, or thought anything related to religious Judaism ever again for the rest of my life I would still be Jewish and I would still be continually treated as other and less than for it. This is difficult to understand for those who are of the culturally Christian majority, whether they follow the religion or not. YOU think culture and religion are separate because YOUR religious culture is the majority.

Once again thinking of this comment about Akechi on a jcbackfire video. This should be required reading for understanding Akechi and P5R as a whole, i am so serious

"Circumstances are what dictate your choices" is the linchpin of his story and by extension the rest of the game's justice philosophy.

If you want to fix the world's problems, you need to address both. Punishing people for bad choices doesn't erase the circumstances that led to them making those choices in the first place— that's why Yaldobaoth is wrong. Warping circumstances to the extent that you take away people's agency to even make choices— that's why Maruki is wrong.

Those are the two main antagonists, and it's no coincidence that Akechi is central to both of their plans. Focusing on one concept while ignoring the other creates a neverending prison where nothing actually gets better. The middle ground —reconciling circumstances and choices as intertwined— is a necessary step to actually fixing things.

Everything comes back to this. Consider Mishima, who never managed to make the right choices until he was safe from Kamoshida's abuse. Or Sumire, who never managed to heal because Maruki took away her agency. Who would blame them for that?

Akechi literally carries this game's themes on his back. This is why he's the deuteragonist to Joker's protagonist. You don't have to like him, but if you don't understand him then you don't understand the game.

❌ Is this ship well supported by canon

❌ Does this ship make any sense whatsoever by any reasonable metric

✅ Does the thought of these characters standing next to each other make you want to chew concrete and then break apart a nearby automobile with your bare hands

None of this shit's going to get better until all of you realize there's nothing that makes you incapable of being a bigot, and there is ESPECIALLY no relationship to womanhood that prevents you from being misogynist.

Every single day I see someone go "but I can't possibly think or act in misogynistic ways, I literally am/was a woman!" and it's the dumbest shit I've seen, every single time. You, yes you, the person reading this, are capable of misogyny, just like you're capable of every other kind of bigotry, just like every single person on earth is.

And if you're reading this and you think "yeah, you tell those losers!" I'm not talking about them, whoever they might be. I'm talking about you.

I actually do think it’s better for abusers and abusive characters to realize the harm their past actions caused and seek to do better than be literally or metaphorically executed for their crimes

Gods, since I'm writing about it, I keep on churning about this, and now I'm being hit with the realization of how fucking INTRUSIVE AS FUCK Maruki is.

Ren's wish to have Akechi back was never spoken out loud to ANYONE. It's a very intimate wish, that no one around him would be able to understand, or that could hurt the ones he cares about. Like I said before, I just know Ren is even shameful about it since it's about missing and caring so deeply his friends' parents' murderer. It's his only selfish wish, as someone who is so giving to everyone else.

That wish must have been buried so deep down, shamefully, perhaps barely even consciously. And Maruki just guts it out and bares it to the world so balantly — Dare I say cruelly, even ?

Gods.

freak4freak is always so awesome but another character dynamic that i think is really great is freak vs freak. you're the only person who understands me and i'm the only person who understands you. unfortunately this also does not stop either of us from hating each other and in fact it might even make everything significantly worse for everyone involved

hearing a beloved friend say the words 'can i be mean for a sec' is like watching an angel descend from the heavens and kiss you on the forehead
