If you could bring Naoto to life or be Naoto which would you chose?
this is difficult since both has their own pros and cons
for brining naoto to life- the pros:
- she's real
- i can become friends with her
- stalk her social media accounts (haha just kidding)
and the cons:
- she'd be the center of attention of most p4 fans- and she's romanceable too- just like in the game, only one can date her
- she could be targeted immediately for murder (or human trafickking) like other people (but that's very unlikely)
and for being naoto- the pros:
- i'm a completely different person, therefore nobody could figure me out
- i could finally understand more what she's been through in her life so far
the cons:
- i'd be the center of attention (simillar to bringing naoto to life), and many fans would attempt to get intimate with me, even if i don't know them
and more cons are just very simillar to her being real, but it's me instead
with that aside, i'd rather bring naoto to life than become her- so i can finally have a person i'm very comfortable with (besides with family members, that is)
for her shadow, i could probably relate to her 50% of the time- and that 50% is how she is being treated like a child and acts like a child. that part hit me hard because i can clearly see what she's been through
and for her persona- i snickered a bit for how small it is
p4 takes place in japan, and a social issue named misogyny persists. misogyny is basically where a female cannot have the "right" to do work that is more afflitated with men. naoto's character was literally all about:
"ah so misogyny exists guess i'll fight it"
that's her character arc in a nutshell. everyday, she has to deal with the police force looking down on her. if she had to work at the police force without disguising herself as a guy, what would happen? in my opinion, i'd say it'll get worse. (simillar to sae in p5- she works as a prosecutor in a police force and the officers don't take her seriously. except she doesn't crossdress)
and that's all i gotta say. seriously; i had to see this while i was having a good time playing p4g on pc.
(if you consider transgender naoto as your headcanon / comfort character then i'm fine with it, but please don't push it in front of other people)
