Just going to put it out there, 17 is legal in most of the United States from what I recall (I did a law review article on "Romeo & Juliet" laws and researched it as a part of that)

I'm willing to accept I absorbed the scene differently when I played, but I never felt in those scenes that the gay men were the butt of the joke, but rather participants in joke in context of it "being a scene in a video game I was watching" (I.E the same way you as a player choosing the Teacher or Doctor makes sense over the in-game character).
Either way, I hear where you're coming from in the developed vs undeveloped sense of it all. I doubt anybody is going to miss those scenes (though that was never why people got upset), so I won't raise anymore fuss about it... mostly because I've been having this same conversation with Erik Kain on twitter and I feel like I'm double talking here lol.
Honestly the whole scene was to make Ryuji what he is: The ultimate butt monkey where nearly everything is at his expense.
Also I have concrete evidence Ryuji is in the closet:
Spoiler: show
This is definitely an American centric pov. In pretty much every other first world country the age of consent is 16 or less. Hell it's 16 in most of the US too but for some reason that's not well known. So while the 17 year old thing might be a problem for you it's probably not an issue for most of the world.
Futaba Bros creep me out, I don’t care if the game says she is 16 or whatever, her mannerisms and art style all make her to be like 12 at most.
To be fair she was a shut in for a long assed time so I'm not surprised she's socially stunted
Japanese culture is just weird honestly. I cringe at most of these games dialogue and tropes and usually at the people who idolize games like this that depict young girls as sexual objects, but because its in a cartoon form its okay. There are some cool parts, but that kind of stuff has always bugged me. I also doubt they portray most of them as 16~18, even if they write the number there. The fetish is for younger people aged 10~13, and its quite apparent.
Just a heads up, but some people (primarily in Europe) have received their pre-orders already, so if you're trying to avoid spoilers, be careful on youtube and web browsing.
I've got my Phantom Thieves edition preordered thru Amazon so I'm already anticipating getting fucked
Review embargo are all over and everyone is saying how amazing 10/10 it is but nobody has made it to the new story content yet since it’s at the end of the regular game and you have to play 100 hours to get there lol
My local game store says they are getting limited edition today and hope to have standard edition tomorrow. I’m not down to pay $90 so the new waifu will have to wait an extra day.
Target has a B2G1 starting on Sunday. If you haven't pre-ordered it you may want to jump on this.
Wish they did B2G1 online too, cause I am under oncologist's orders to not leave the house for anything ._.
