Symmetras voice actresses responded to me and now I’m on Reddit! If you could please check it out on r/Overwatch or r/SymmetraMains I’d really appreciate it! She is so kind, I am speechless. I will never get over or forget this.

This man is clearly smoking something where can I get it

Sigh I feel I need to step in for Kamen on this one (dude deals with too much hate on the daily so I’m trying to help him out)

He is clearly delusional. Nothing about him stands out, and he reminds me why he should have existed 10 years ago, so I don't care about Americans like him.

Geez what did we ever do to you

He’s clearly obsessed with things I heavily dislike. He’s a mainstream consumer, by the way. He talks about morally gray characters,

The morally grey video was about characters many fans liked to claim were “morally grey” did you actually watch his videos or did you look at the title and whine at it

literacy, tokusatsu,

Tokusatsu? Mainstream? In America? Oh brother have you Been living under a rock or something

and mostly Yu-Gi-Oh! videos. But here’s the catch: his Yu-Gi-Oh! videos show how unaware and clueless he is. He claims Seto Kaiba is great but mocks Jack Atlas.

If you actually watched his videos you’d know that jack atlas is his favorite rival Kamen just has issues with how season 2 handled aspects of his character

His recent videos are just about Gen 1 Yu-Gi-Oh! games on Duel Monsters.

Remind me how many games gx and 5ds have that aren’t tag force or just dueling as a video game

He never talks negatively about his fans

Why is this a problem?!

or tries to be constructive. He goes on and on about the amazing digital circus being different,

The show is an existential horror about people trapped in a video game that’s a pretty unique premise in of itself

but that show is still ongoing and doesn’t need to be analyzed so much.

Discussing doesn’t mean analyzing nimrod

I guess he’s just too caught up in his own ego.

Look who’s talking

Sometimes, he comes off as pretty stupid in his videos.

What I hate the most about him is how he keeps milking that Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance nonsense

So no ones allowed to talk about things he finds interesting sweet

while mocking 5D's and calling it weak.

Let me tell you something: Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is just a staple for Americans

Metal gear is made by Japanese developers

to enjoy mindless hours of video games rather than being engaged with real content. The game isn't great, and its story is shallow.

Yes it is truly a shallow story with no depth or substance indeed

Honestly you’re just hating for the sake of hating

You’re only points of contention are built entirely on assumptions that could be dismissed by actually watch the videos you “criticized”

But no you make yourself look like a bigger idiot by building the biggest strawman I can imagine

For homework

Here’s a list of his videos you clearly never bothered watching

Have fun

Why do you dislike MangaKamen so much and why?

This picture of Homer Simpsons getting punched is one example of my hate for that doucebag.

He is pathetic!

Okay I know this is old but there are a lot of problems here that i have to address

Number one, you do not kill the shadow character. That's basic Jungian symbolism which the entire series is made around. You can never fully rid yourself of a shadow only accept it and integrate it

How is akechi a shadow character again? This is a pretty strong assumption about his role and character and I fail to see how it holds water if we are to argue through series traditions shadows are based on the repressed inner qualities of a person which begs if akechi is a shadow what sort of repressed trait does he reflect akechi’s goal has been to kill shido and last akechi the game has not subtle about how jokers life has been affected by shido nor has it been secret about how much we want to take him down

Yes akechi is a foil to joker and the phantom thieves but to claim he is a shadow character is a very large stretch that I fail holds any water if any character that role it would most likely been maruki his goals do align with the inner conflict regarding on weather they are justified in changing the hearts of others for the benefit of others

Number two, the phantom thieves did not condone Goro's actions obviously, but they were all during the fight and in the aftermath completely willing to sympathize with Goro and bring him bac into the group. It's weird to make a game about sympathizing with the outcasts and then just decide to exclude the one victim who wasn't a GOOD VICTIM TM, especially since in the last game they let Adachi live for some reason.

While you aren’t wrong in asserting that the game is about sympathizing with the outcasts this is only half the message a consistent theme throughout the story and social links is seeking justice for those who are a victim of those who abuse their power considering most of the phantoms thieves and confidants are victims of someone in power in someway or another

I’ll dive more into how this relates to akechi later on

Also neither the phantom thieves or the investigation had any intention of killing akechi or Adachi the reason akechi died was cause of outside interference

Number three, Persona 5 Royal did a lot of things to fix Akechi's social link which is super rushed even though he's supposed to be Joker's greatest foil in the game and meant to reflect him and understand him on a deep emotional level but it's almost worse because it tempts the audience with an idea of Akechi surviving the final dungeon something the fans wanted and then has him die a second time. There's literally no reason to kill him or make his death ambiguous when you're making a game that is a 1.5 patch of the first game because the first game was rushed out.

The only reason akechi is alive in the third semester is because of maruki who made it so that akechi is alive for joker and akechi has made it clear he would rather die than have his own existence be under someone else’s thumb so this ignores the reason for his second death so if you’re going to ignore his own motivations and character in the third semester then

Number four, he was literally all primed for redemption. He was screaming about how he wanted to have friends. His only desire was to have a true sense of justice rather than being a fake detective. He is one hundred percent aware of his flaws. Joker, the main hero of the story is deeply invested in him living and wants that redemption for him too. And then they just kill him.

Since you decided to lecture us on basic jungian psychology I’m gonna lecture you on basic storytelling

The whole point of akechi’s death is giving the thieves and the player more incentive to stop shido

Remember what I said about how it’s about seeking justice for victims of those in powers this is where it applies here

Akechi is a victim of shido much like the other thieves and confidants and the players are allowed to sympathize with him this even comes up again in the pre fight dialogue with shido with the thieves holding akechi’s death against him

Therefore since we the player now know what akechi’s been through and have witnessed shido murdering his only son we now have a stronger drive to stop shido now with the motivation of avenging akechi and honoring his sacrifice

If you’re going to argue this writing decision undermines the themes the story I fail to see how this holds water without ignoring the context behind the scene in question

Since akechi dying to his abuser and his death being used as motivation to stop said abuser certainly makes it hard for me to believe this isn’t sympathizing with his abuser

The way they kill him is dumb too, the phantom thieves are just about ready to get through to him and then a clone of Akechi shows up to shoot him in the head. THEY MAY AS WELL HAVE A PIANO DROP ON HIS HEAD IT WAS SO RANDOM. 

Ugh this is by far the worst one

It has been established that shido’s cognition is more advanced than the others to the point his own cognitions can serves as guards and minions for him plus it has been revealed that shido was completely aware of akechi’s plan to kill him as well of his own plan to dispose of him once akechi served his purpose

If your going to ignore details that are made clear throughout the game I have to question your talents as a literary analyst

Persona 5 or Persona 5 Royal?

Neither, because I cannot forgive Persona 5 for the cardinal sin of killing Goro Akechi their best and most interesting character. It's a decision that makes absolutely no sense for the story.

Number one, you do not kill the shadow character. That's basic Jungian symbolism which the entire series is made around. You can never fully rid yourself of a shadow only accept it and integrate it.

Number two, the phantom thieves did not condone Goro's actions obviously, but they were all during the fight and in the aftermath completely willing to sympathize with Goro and bring him bac into the group.

*they appear and plop a half-melted bowl of banana split, the banana split was perfectly fine but the ceramic bowl itself was nearly completely melted somehow dispite literally being clay*

I tried my best to steal one and I found one! Here! Feel free to share it with Andrew! :D

More questions for fritz! (Either endgame or early, idm)

How's yours and Calamitas' relationship? Any thoughts on her? Don't worry, I won't tell her anything! :>

What's your favourite food?

Ooooh! What's your favourite biome and why?

Favourite boss fight?

And lastly! Question specifically for endgame Fritz, If you were to meet your younger self... what would you tell him? What would you show him?

"Woah, slow down there! Too many questions at once!"

"Calamitas and I... Well, we're more alike than we both realized and I guess neither of us liked that... We hated each other for so long and now we get along much better. Yharim hoped I'd give her better respect than he ever did and well, at least I'll give him that."

"Favorite food are banana splits. Favorite biome is the forest since Andrew likes it so much. I can see the appeal. I don't have a favorite 'boss fight', whatever that means."

"As for my past self... Well, I'd say [long drawn out censor beep] the moment you wake up. It's the only way out of here. Either that or run far. Run far, far away."

So to address and respond to a comment that was made about this comic: @ebbthekawaii I'm sure someone has or will make one of these meme comics with Gangle in Pomni's place. Heck, it could be you if you wanna take a shot at it. Give it a go! The meme is funny regardless and for me, Pomni fits best because 1.) She's the newbie and Jax seems like the type to tease and poke fun at her as a result and 2.) Pomni is an anxious existential crisis wreck, which, again, Jax would probably tease and poke fun at her as a result. So, to me, Pomni fits better for this meme comic.

...Welp. I made this. This is a thing now. That I created.

...Am I cringe?

I made a pt 2. I was so tired when making part one and I realized what time it was by the time I was done. Lol

But, uh, yeah. Part 2 is made. I'm gonna go make some chicken katsu curry now.
