Has the Japanese game industry put out anything particularly sympathetic to homosexuals in recent years? Feeling like itās a big olā continuing cultural problem they havenāt gotten noticeably closer to confronting.

Cho-aniki?
I saw there was a manga that was basically my two gay dads yesterday.
Also lord we talk about the homphobia everytime we talk about P4.

The latest Tales of game, Zestiria, supposedly has the main characters being a lot more than platonic but honestly I played it and even though lots of people are reading it that way, it sounds like traditional Japanese Game Developer Queer Baiting where they refuse to take a stance or address anything from it

I worked in a Japanese high school for 3 and a half years. Non romantic relationships do not exist between boys and girls. They wonāt even talk to each other in class. Whenever a student would see me hanging out with a female around town, they would yell at me for being a liar for saying I didnāt have a girlfriend

hmmm I guess that means itās impossible for pop culture to influence social realities at all anywhere, ever, and that it has never happened before at all.
Exactly

dragonās dogma b/c your beloved isnāt determined by gender
bare minimum of sympathy, tho
He must not have wanted to use the word ājankyā I guess?
ah, yes, the ps2, where Controls were janky as a general rule
Janky for someone who probably never actually played PS2 games back in the day.
edit: I donāt really know why Iām sticking up for the guy. Heās probably the same guy who couldnāt play Doom, just being contrarian I guess.
no lies detected tbh
accessible occult magic aesthetic and symbolism is probably a less reprehensible reason to still not hate p3. i actually cared about the characters and have pretty fond memories despite the rampant misogyny. i feel like the fandom makes up for it. thereās enough yaoi, yuri and slash to make p-teamās skin crawl for months.
the subject matter for these games is pretty heavy.
maybe itās full of fluff because they actually want it to sell.

FF14 has no gender restrictions on the marriage ceremony thing, and itās sort of vaguely hinted that various minor npcs are in relationships, but nothing serious.
(Thereās also at least a couple chars that hit on you no matter who you are, but.)
I feel like thereās probably some really trashy JRPG garbage in Japan thatās full of positive non heteronormative relationships but all of us would be too embarrassed to play them.
Well, I guess itās up to me.

Itās just utterly bizarre that someone in the world thinks of controls beyond like the first Atari in terms of consoles. Like how do you generally conceptualize a controls-based divide between PS2 and PS4 games. Ah yes Iāll never forget that classic moment when I first picked up a PS4 controller and upon nudging my Videoman forward screamed Now These Are the Controls Iām Talkinā About
