Very true. Jane’s receival of the lollipop is even couched in her relationship to the Batterwitch, going by this log:

homestuck is good, homestuck is pure

P3P is the only non homophobic persona. the only game that explores gnostic themes deeply in all of the series is not a persona, its shin megami tensei 3. its such a beautiful and moving take on it too. emulate that if you ever want to skip the bullshit and get to the real stuff, somehow the corporation wasnt able to screw that one up

so i should cop to being an immense Shin Megami Tensei nerd at this point, I guess? I’ve played Nocturne and I fucking love it, though I’ve never finished it. I definitely think you’re right that it comes the closest to delivering on the franchise themes from what I have consumed of it, which is, a lot. Most of the game through various lps and cutscenes and stuff even for what i havent played.

though there’s a couple other SMT games I also think are good: 

Devil Survivor aims and lands mostly high even though it is AGAIN hamstrung by twee anime shit, I like SMT: Strange Journey a TON and it has Very Little of that garbage for the most part, Persona 3 (Portable) is indeed probably the best persona for being non-homophobic though ironically it plays with LGBT themes a lot less than 4 (i have no idea how 5 does it other than i know theres no same sex romance options which, fuck that)

omg, i seriously had no idea!! you even know way more than me about the series, which owns and im taking notes here. im really happy youve had the experience of playing that too. smt3 is a game i can never get out of my mind.

I’m curious about how this works… I mean, do we write it all off? Are all the romances merely fanservice towards a facade, or is this a real situation crafted by Caliborn? It would like… really *sting* if stories about Gay Romance With Positive Outcomes were themselves part of some huge ruse. I don’t think that necessary follows from the theory, but I don’t want that to be the case…
