Yeah, for all of their undertones about "accepting the true self", a lot of the Persona games still have this conservative and conformist aspect to it.

the problem with persona 4 is that it treats being a closeted LGBT person is actually just a very confused mind, and that the "true self" is cishet. it's really weird.

It really does a lot to invalidate and erase queer and trans identities.
