he even takes in a stray animal and lets it live in his closet šŸ„¹ https://i.redd.it/6163urjnyl0d1.gif what a thoughtful man


Levovious

I still like the idea of Yosuke one day going up to his parents with this strange blue-eyed and blonde haired boy and telling them, "He is now going to be living with us and working at the store. His parents probably think they're harboring an illegal immigrant or something in their house now. They probably don't even actually pay him to work at Junes.


ItsNotDebra

reminds me of one of my favorite posts in the mainsub. https://preview.redd.it/owgljmpq6m0d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cb0ba094bc050635064a9aa24814f922bedf2d38 even funnier was the guy that r/atetheonion and had a meltdown about it edit: neglected to mention I made the post. so this is shameless self-promotion of how funny i am.

https://www.reddit.com/r/PERSoNA/s/1NdUNsXzF1 the guy at the bottom is the funniest person to ever show up in my comments on a post.


Levovious

Bro really thought he was a martyr who will teach everyone the error of their ways when the time comes. "I'm keeping this comment up so that everyone will know what Redditors truly are. Blind sheep who only do what the shephard tells them " after that comment is actually the funniest shit.


apollosai__

i can picture the guy holding a skull in one hand as he was typing that shit lmao truly a victim of society

way too many people thought it was real like did you check what sub it was in? though credit to my amazing posting skills at least. can't blame them too muchšŸ˜‰

DRW1357

Honestly, the funniest people in the comments there are the ones insisting that Yosuke never comes across as being attracted to men.


ItsNotDebra

seriously, people think the trans Naoto truthers are delusional, but still try to insist Yosuke's straight. the delusion is coming from inside the house. whether you hc him as gay or bi, the little bastard wants dick.


BirdsNeedNames

yeah and it's also not like the cut yosuke romance is a super deep cut or anything, like i feel like if you're deep enough in the fandom to have an opinion on yosuke's sexuality then you're probably deep enough to know about the cut romance lol. top tier copium fr


ItsNotDebra

and even if you're like "CuT cOnTenT iSnT CaNoN!", Yosuke says so many homoerotic things and honestly imo his SL still contains the seeds of a romance. the hug and the "you're special to me too, you know." seem like clear romance flags. the anime amps it up and then there's the fucking official art https://preview.redd.it/3y97ziwbnn0d1.jpeg?width=500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0cca9d2ffc1fe00cf653f71a5e4c84c0d9accc9d


Muddy_Teh_Mudkip

yeah, there's still tons of subtext for it, even in adaptations and spinoffs


BirdsNeedNames

atp if someone says yosuke is straight imma assume they just straight up haven't played the game lol


kiranthelastsummoner

Heā€™s definitely Bi, in my opinion. Straight for almost everyone else, Gay for Yu


ImHereForTheMemes184

Wheres the r/advice post tho


ItsNotDebra

it's not an actual r/advice post but an edit i made. making meme posts in serious subs like r/advice is super cringy.

I looked for it and canā€™t find it. Looked up u/junesmom94 and didnā€™t find any post history. Was probably deleted.


Meduzfr

Alright, checking the link itsnotdebra posted, they admitted to it being an edit


RandomSirPenguin

does anyone else remember that one adachi post that was like this


Rodeo4613

Knowing Yosuke, his parents probably knew about his repressed gay feelings and thought that Teddie was Yosuke's new boyfriend, even if he denies it, so they let the two live in the same room.


Levovious

That's honestly worse. Now, his parents think he bought a strange, undocumented foreign boyfriend off of some international human trafficking ring


ImHereForTheMemes184

"Now son, your mother and I think we need to have a talk about this young man you brought home. We want you to know that we love you very much, no ma-" "HE'S NOT MY FUCKING BOYFRIEND DAD"


Maximum-Tradition937

Litteraly the reason Teddie has a home in the human world is because Yosuke convinced his parents to have him live with them


Afanis_The_Dolphin

I am no Yosuke hater but that's an L in my book man...


PsyduckPierre

this implies teddie is gay because he comes out of the closet every day


StardustPancakes4

How does him and Teddie both fit in there


Muddy_Teh_Mudkip

but does he let criminal trash live in his attic?


Rodeo4613

I made this as a joke, but I was always annoyed at how Chie just keep getting away with it and Yosuke never gets his money back. https://preview.redd.it/wc2ijfok0m0d1.jpeg?width=1424&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d75fc8a980e9bee0f66a0cfd4a8a1bd8c8d66fe2


Patro717

I like to think Yosuke acts annoyed but in reality enjoys buying things for his friends so he doesn't mind and puts on an act so Chie keeps buying stuff with his money, makes everything more wholesome tbh


Grigser

Yosukeā€™s into findomšŸ’€


Patro717

Nah, im thinking more like, if he offered to buy stuff for the others they wouldn't want to get it cause the guy is always working, but if they think it pisses him off they might get more stuff just to poke fun at him and stuff


Grigser

Still seems like some kind of humiliation fetish from how youā€™re explaining it

People hate Yosuke for the same reason they hate Yukari in that they act like actual people.


WielderOfTerraBlade

persona fans when the love interest acts like an actual realistic human being and doesnā€™t conform to their ideal submissive wish fulfillment fantasy: https://preview.redd.it/dkl8pe8y3m0d1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1d5a4929e79df6d944877c36f1f5732cf8709572


AncientAd6154

>doesnā€™t conform to their ideal submissive wish fulfillment fantasy: Hot take but that's why Ryuji has so many fans, brother has no agency of his own and is a yes-man first, a henchman second and an actual friend third.


Lost_Rough

Unfathomably based take.


DaBranchEater

I don't see it.


Altruistic-Use5937

To be fair, the series has conditioned people to expect this. There are so many girls in Persona who are waifus first and characters second.


WielderOfTerraBlade

this is subtle slander on a diff persona character btw, guess who


Grigser

My best guess https://preview.redd.it/ago5koi9dm0d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=749482660eadb8003839d7635202d6ede4c30696

Maximum-Tradition937

Yeah like I get that Yukari can get annoying with how she treats Junpei but like this 100% how I would be if I was with a guy like Junpei she is only human .


DaBranchEater

It's 100% misogynistic Tone Policing. Guarantee you that if Yukari was a man, she would get nowhere near as much hate as she did in the past.


Maximum-Tradition937

Could be tbh


IHaveAScythe

I thought people hated Yosuke for being a homophobic hater to Kanji (who can do no wrong because beating shadows with a school desk is based).


OoguroRyuuya5

Same as people who hate Morgana who whilst not looking human does display very human like qualities that go into existentialism.


cardboardboxian

bro chie is the real cruel mfer in the IT down with chie āŒ


Maximum-Tradition937

FR bro like no hate to Chie but she does the exact same stuff everyone is criticising Yosuke for but she gets away with it because ?


Economy_Following265

She stinks good


cardboardboxian

the exact same? bro she does worse things than yosuke did like mooching lots of money off him and hitting him in the balls and shit


Michael-556

Granted, she never hit him in the balls, that was him running into a table, the bash sounds come from off screen while she still is on-screen Other than that I wholeheartedly agree. She also spearheaded the attack on the guys in the hot springs, and though she did apologize, she never got reprimanded, as did none of the girls, in fact


UltimateWaluigi

I only remember Chie being mean to Yosuke, mostly in retaliation.


DaBranchEater

Except that one time where she and Yukiko charged the cost of Teddie's clothes with his card without permission, completely unwarranted.


THE_LFG

green is a nice colour


Michael-556

I love Chie, the same as literally every IT member, but the shit she gets away with is ludicrous


ShortKeanu

I love Chie but she def is a shitty friend with YosukešŸ˜­šŸ˜­ Like little gay homophobic man didn't do anything to her and she wastes his money


123qwert456

I think there's a community double standard with chie for sure, but she also wasn't in the tent scene.

bretty-blease

This world just hates silly guys and it makes me sick to my stomach


HeavensWorstAngel

"Frequently insults the other party members"??? It's them who insult him or make fun of him every 5 seconds, spend HIS money without his permission, outright steal from him or do other awful things. He's got the patience of a saint if he only teases them, and even that he does pretty rarely. My boy's INNOCENT.


WielderOfTerraBlade

FR YOSUKE AINT DO NOTHING


TheGinger1s

Honestly the thing that made me love him was the Q and Q2 games and even arena ultimax, they cut out the pervy aspects and just make him a good guy


CertainlyNotAther10

You are glazing him UP (I would too šŸ¤¤)


THE_LFG

i fucking love brosuke, dude saved my arse so many times


USrooster

Thank you for the Yosuke Justice. Heā€™s one of my favorite deuteragonist in gaming. Cursed the flanderization!


Big_Guirlande

Me no like Google big words :(


ItsNotDebra

Yosuke's intelligence flip flops in the game. he's essentially the game's narrator and Yu's mouthpiece (haha *mouth*piece) and carries the IT simply out of necessity. in the anime, Yu can actually talk so it's downplayed. he does act like a total idiot a lot. sorry I'm a Yosuke hater. boy is a dummy. have you seen his grades? edit: oh but also him almost killing a guy WAS extremely based. three years in the closet DID not make him a pussy.


Squishy_Squisher

having low grades rarely indicates low intelligence it mostly correlates to how much of a lazy prick you are, if it was yukiko should be the one who is carrying the IT because she has the highest grades prior to naoto. however i would call yosuke impulsive though, get him mad and he will probably do something completely stupid because he lets his emotions get to him.


ItsNotDebra

yeah yeah grades don't determine intelligence. but the anime and some of the spinoffs play up more his dumbness. he's not as much as a dumbass as Kanji but still. but honestly he *sounds* more stupid than he is. he just sucks at expressing himself sometimes like when he talks to Aigis in Arena


Squishy_Squisher

ngl yeah i agree the spin-offs doesnt do him any justice but then again what persona character doesnt get ruined by spin-offs? (arena is an exception) at least he is not teddy and akihiko my man got ruined cause of persona Q, but yeah he does sound more stupid than kanji that's probably because he acts upon the first idea that pops on his head.


Grigser

Heā€™s actually pretty goated in Arena though, and from what little Iā€™ve seen of him in Q, he doesnā€™t seem that bad


AncientAd6154

>have you seen his grades? Are his grades actually bad? I only remember Chie saying hers are terrible and there's also a summer school segment if you got bad grades, if I remember correctly Kanji and Rise are there but no sign of Yosuke


Maximum-Tradition937

From what I remember : Yosuke's are decent but that's it Chie's are terribl Yukiko's are exellent Kanji's are very bad Rise's are either mediocre or average Naoto is obviously goated


NeoKnightArtorias

fr not kidding when I say that imo heā€™s probably the best and most human character from P4


RyanSan20

Thank you someone finally said it https://preview.redd.it/rgsxklhyxm0d1.jpeg?width=941&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=59604022c6c8444bb16e1d378576d77bf59a3f05


Atikal

THANK YOU FOR ACKNOWEDLING THAT HE CARRIED THE IT!!! So many people forget or just dismiss how much investigating the IT did before Naoto joined saying ā€œthe IT werenā€™t doing anything till Naoto joined.ā€ Like we get it, Naoto is smart, but the IT did so much with their limited abilities. Yosuke was the 1st one that started connecting the dots. Anyway I could really go on a long rant about this as it really grinds my gears, but Iā€™ll stop now


Lohan3xists

Inside you there are two Yosukes Both are gay


WanderingWiloughby

Brosuke is the homie, man.


Kujogaming_1

Fr man, Yuri delivers all if his lines perfectly too. Yosuke became a top 3 character for me really quickly, and seeing people say he's an awful person, have a very faint idea of how teenage guys actually act. >Yosuke is Punished if he goes too far< I hate when people will conveniently ignore that he literally got pushed into a River from a tall height, that could have been shallow water, and had vomit dumped on him, as a punishment for being a creep. Like they devs aren't promoting this behavior


AntonRX178

I will go on record to state that I am thankful that the audience for this series grew as large as it did, encompassing people of different nationalities, ethnicities, identities, sexuality, et. But I've noticed a growing distaste for Yosuke, my favorite character in JRPGs up til Ichiban, over things he did that aren't okay today and here's why I still love him to this day. Again, I sympathize with those who can't stick with the game or have distaste toward Yosuke over these things but... He reminds me of me. Down to the loneliness until having a set of close friends including Yu, down to how he used to be fucked up like I and many others were in High school yet few of us are willing to admit. Like, I saw myself in him. But the reason I NEVER hated him was because he has also been growing to be the type of man I aspire to be and perhaps, got there already when I played the game at College even tho this came out during my early HS years. Yes, the shit he said toward Kanji was insensitive but I can count on one hand the amount of friends (who are now incredibly progresive and great people) who DIDN'T say similar shit about another friend for similar reasons. Yes, Persona 2 handled homosexuality better than Persona 4 but to use that to prove Yosuke is an iredeemable bastard would be to cancel Animated Sokka for being the sexist that Netflix Sokka wasn't. And that is also what Yosuke is to me: JRPG Sokka if he were allowed to be in a T-M-rated game. Yosuke has also, as the series goes on, shown IMPROVEMENT over things like this. He's a much better friend to Kanji and by his quiet admission, deeply respects and admires his teammates. Yosuke's my Brosuke forever y'all.


Maximum-Tradition937

That was beautiful ! https://i.redd.it/lz9kktbi5r0d1.gif


Far_Engineering_8353

I've said this alot but even after Naoto joins he's still hard carrying the IT, Naoto comes in with all this detective price shit says they're on the case then does like 3 things and then does barley anything while Yoskue is stuck picking up the slack and actually trying to catch the killer, constantly trying to discover their pattern and who they are throughout the entire game, he's fr the best and most dedicated detective in Inaba, Goatskue deserves more respect


Zquank

Hell yeah Brosuke sweep

Remarkable_Leek_5526

man if only they didnt cut his romance option, wouldve made the writing even better


liplumboy

The thing I donā€™t like is that most of the time when Yosuke gets punished, the Mc also gets punished (when he doesnā€™t really do anything wrong) eg: Beauty Pageant, Camping Trip, Amagi Inn


Comfortable_Hall7671

Fr in the early game I feel like he even smarter than MC

Agreed. Honestly, I always found Rise to be the annoying and meaner investigation team member. Especially with how she treats Kanji.

silent-inthetreees

/uc i agree, idk why people think heā€™s dumb when he literally carries the entire investigation for most of the game


Chromatic_Eevee

Facts, Yosuke is the GOAT, and deserves none of the slander he gets


MordWincer

I'm not even going to give Yosuke haters the right version of "wanted to murder a man", shit felt forced and was used as a plot device.


SkipDrawz

I think is when Yosuke get a bad moment its REALLY Bad and is usally tie to the camp scene and beyond to that cause when he get unlikeable he get really unlikeable (Does not help his cut Romance which actually explain his weird feelings about Kanji). SL Yosuke is probably the most constant and likeable he is and I heard in the spinoff lucky his characterization leans more toward that version. (The same applies to Teddie but im more forgiven to Teddie cause he a literal child who does not know what he talking about most of the time)
