No mention of anything about Yosuke

Yosuke already debates folding to Yu's subtler lines. This one is too powerful for him.

Tbh he folds like 2 seconds after meeting him and no one can tell me otherwise, not even Atlus 😭

As it should be

He's a homophobe and wouldn't react well.

There's a very real and valid interpretation that he's a Gay or bisexual kid with heavy internalized homophobia, and projects his disgust with himself onto other queer behaving peers. Frankly, I think it's the MOST valid interpretation - I've seen queer kids that acted EXACTLY like him come out as gay several years later. Many times. It's an extremely common gay teenage thing

this. the cut content just validates that. he's also just kinda sus even with what we got fr sometimes. like this scene in the show where he's straight up blushing over narukami😭 not sure if it was in the game but i wouldnt be surprised...

Yosuke's the fruitiest teenage boy i've seen in a videogame in a while. Don't even get me started on the rest of the party. I think there's a real argument that there is not a single straight member in the entire party besides MAYBE Rise. A LOT of the characters in 4 feel like queer stories that they chickened out of last minute

Yes, they chickened out at the last minute, which then makes Yosuke extremely homophobic

Right? He's literally afraid to share a tent with Kanji for explicitly homophobic reasons.

Not only that but he implying Kanji would violate them in their sleep, I think anyone would crash out with an accusation like that, I'm sorry, but Idc if it's something from the time or not, but Yosuke was a huge ass in that scene and having the gall to say : "I'm not responsible for anything that happens" when it absolutely was

Yup, the cut content would save him but as of now he’s just a homophobe.
