That's that series bread and butter. They are a bunch of middle aged people that should had outgrew Persona literally decades ago in many cases. They continually try to wish and shame the devs to make it a series it was never meant to be.
Quote:As for the protagonists' gender, Wada said that was mostly down to the perceived differences of mental maturity of girls and boys. Wada noted that high school female students tend to have a "higher mental age" or be more mature than their male counterparts. As such, the males have more space to grow and evolve, making them a better choice for the protagonist in this context. With that said, Wada notes that it's not out of the question for the protagonists of the games to be either female or non-students.
I mean, is sexism but not the one that usually gets ERA offended.
Posers.

Quote:Glad this got its own thread. Dude this excuse is crazy.
Just be honest and say either:
"We wish to tell this story from a male perspective because we are guys." Or "We won't be able to make a good female protag because we are guys."
You get angry with both answers and use one to gate keep male writers.
