The Persona series has often been the subject of pointed criticisms regarding its treatment of marginalized characters. Persona 5 had a few scenes that a number of fans argued were offensive and homophobic in nature, painting two effeminate male and arguably homosexual characters in a painfully aggressive and negative light. The Persona 5 Royal homophobic scenes will be getting some changes in the localized Western release to ?make it right.?
Atlus Communications Manager Ari Advincula talked to IGN at a recent Person 5 Royale hands-on event, where they asked about the original fan response to the insensitive scenes and if anything was being done in the re-release. Advinacula explained that dialog in a number of scenes would be changed based on poor reception from the original release. She specifically called out two scenes in which Ryuji first meets the two characters and a subsequent beach scene later in the game, both of which have been criticized for making the two characters sexually aggressive towards a minor and portraying the homosexual men as ?intentionally ridiculous? for the sake of a joke. Ryuji?s response to them was also criticized for being equally aggressive and insensitive.
