As a huge SEGA fan, this is going to pain me to say. I love their approval of fan projects (most recently the fan effort to resurrect Sonic Runners as a freeware app), the pro-trans/genderfluid/crossdressing character creator in Sonic Forces, and how, unlike companies such as Nintendo, they have enough humility to make fun of things that people didn't like. However...
Every time Atlus does something bone-headed when it comes to gender and sexuality themes, sites like NeoGAF and Resetera were/are thankfully quick to call it out. From Yosuke's "haha gay" jokes to SMTxFE's lewd outfits to Persona 5's rapey gay couple, people always roll their eyes at whatever cringey thing Atlus puts out in the 21st century. However, I'd like to point out that...
SEGA owns Atlus!
Why aren't we pointing the finger at this otherwise-liberal company for letting Atlus run rampant and completely disrespect women, gay people, and transgender people? I can understand letting a child company do its thing, but this money from the SMT series ultimately goes to SEGA.
I'd like to request that we keep this in mind whenever Atlus does something bad, that SEGA could have stopped them. Please do what you can to stop this - Twitter, email to SEGA, etc.
Someone needs to tell the kids no when they start to bandwagon on the trans-train. If their retarded ass parents wont beat some common sense into them, Papa Atlus is gonna have to do it instead. Also I must have missed this, but what the fuck did Atlus do that upset our fragile friends at PedoEra.
Damn user I saw that pic and got a little excited it was going to be an announcement from that stream I missed But instead you had to waste my time with this bait. Why user? Why did you waste my time like that?
Different countries have different values and cultural norms. Unfortunately Japan is backwards in many ways regarding the objectification of women and its misogynistic culture shows in its media as well. We thus deemed it necessary to make certain corrections to some of the more problematic aspects of the game so as to serve you, the consumer with a more enlightened experience.
So the newest meme is to repost ResetERA content as your own to farm for YOUs?

Is bait supposed to be this obvious
Michael Morris
Yes. The outcomes are 1/15th chance to spawn an interesting discussion and 14/15th chance to be garbage bait that gets deleted within minutes. No different from every other Yea Forums thread I guess.

I know this is bait but the answer is Atlus walked away with the best deal. In exchange for Sega giving them Sega money. >inb4 lol its Sonic money Sega Sammy are fucking huge. Atlus are given full autonomy to do whatever they want because Sega knows trying to fuck with them won't please the fans. So Atlus does and makes what it pleases, if SJWs get pissed its on Atlus to deal with it and Atlus deal with it by going "lol, don't care" That's it. The End.
