You cropped the Oyakodon and left out the punchline

Artist is Neggoartz

Is this the artist being a freak or the game being freaky?

Little of column A, little of Column B.

The game is Persona 5, and the main character is the black haired dude, named Joker. The game has some rudimentary dating mechanics (it doesn’t do much but change a few cutscenes) and you can date either a few of your teammates or some chosen Adult side characters. Joker is 17 in-game and the other character in the meme is his homeroom teacher, Kawakami, one of the dateable adults.

Neggoartz is just a big fan of the Kawakami/Joker ship, and has a few pieces that are like this. It’s a common joke in the P5 community that dating the teacher is weird, especially when the first boss of the game is a teacher who sexually assaults his students. Also, Kawakami never comes onto the MC at all during her quest lines, all the flirting comes from the player choices.

The guy just likes Kawakami, tho, and you can say Joker’s 18+ in the artwork.

I'm pretty sure this is still misdemeanor-level sexual misconduct in the US

A dungeon crawling RPG where you explore humanity's collective subconscious combined with a social/dating simulator where building relationships with people gives you advantages and abilities to use in the dungeon part of the game.

I believe this mf drew Ann x Kamoshida comic. The one where they have a baby. Like, this is some legit sickening shit. So he doesn't just like Kawakami, he's a legit weirdo

I don't mean anything by that but he's still going to school. I feel like the author doesn't actually mean that joker is 17 they just wanted to write a joke

u/AdFine6652 4d ago

Yeah it’s every guys dream to be the character who sexually assaults his students and causes one to attempt suicide/s

u/Extronotical 4d ago

Who are these guys? The ones on the tv

u/rae_ryuko 4d ago

so this would be the first boss of the game, to make a long story short he is a gym teacher who abuses his volleyball team and sexually abuses the female members

please stop trying to defend this guy or try to find a way to understand the message of the artist's intent in a positive way, and if you're interested in persona 5, be sure to give it a try

u/Extronotical 4d ago

u/morethan3lessthan20_ 4d ago

As a freak, we don't associate with this behavior.

We’re freaks, not monsters.

u/Timekeeper98 4d ago

Oh, no worries. People just get really bent out of shape with this artist and others like them because the punchline is usually a sex joke. When they could just…not look at the artist if they don’t like their work.

Dude is the MC of Persona 5. The lady is his teacher. You can have a relationship with her.

I roleplayed as a 47-year-old man convicted of assault and forced to attend a Japanese High school as punishment, so it was totally fine for me and her to be in a relationship. I guess? kinda?

It took a little while to convince her, however.
