I know why many vegan people may get upset when you frame it as a cult (and no, hivemind, animal sacrifice isn't a thing in all cults, the opposite), because framing a lifestyle and ethical choice as a cult isn't fair.

The fact is that, even thought you won't admit it, the internet and social media made it so easy to create cultish spaces, so that extremistic ideas vegans show on internet (from Disney - esque ideas about animals, forcing carnivorous animals to become vegan, thought it isn't healthy for them, even ideologies that frame any domesticated animal as a slave) have more ways to spread.

Online spaces often create echo chambers that dictate what one from that group has and cannot do. Reddit, for example, just makes echo chambers an easy phenomenon, so the "us vs them" mentality gets way stronger, alongside the cultish behaviours (and cults now spread even thanks to social media)

This isn't just about veganism, as even media fanbases act too often like this, creating a toxic environment.

1. Was Rinko Kusanabe really teased in P5 with "a woman who can talk to the dead"? Could you post the screen?

2. If it's about contacting the dead, do you think we'll witness the disapppearence of some confidants, then find out about their murder? It would be clever to use Social Links and confidants even in the main story, if they're connected to cases and to party members. And please, if there has to be a dead love interest trope like Saki, let us know them, and let them be male for once, I already said how I hate that these kinds of plotlines are so male centered. I've seen a man with part of his arc being about getting over a late love interest way too many times.

3. Do you think we'll get the Persona equivalent of Fullmetal Alchemist's infamous human - dog chimera moment? Like, the one case that involves a more shocking death for a wholesome character that might mark how the game from that point on won't be joking?

It's almost THREE years since I couldn't make new videos for my channel. When I saw it was starting to make 3000+ views with my latest videos, I wanted it to grow and I wanted to bring the content to a whole new level, making 30 - 60 mins long videos with a webcam and no longer just parallax, my profile and pics.

I had a hard time fixing my studio, getting s new gaming PC, a decent webcam and mics, but, most importantly - since editing whole 30min - 1 hour videos after writing and filming them takes too much time for a single person who doesn't even study such things and I don't want to castrate my art by shortening video content - I need a partner who edits..

That's right - the problem is that every editor I found went away with an excuse or the other, like "I need to work on my video editing site" (which is still not a thing, weirdly), "I have exams" (some saying this still made edits for himself and others), "I'm gonna go on holiday right now" (still ghosted me after). I found some on Discord server, the most recent ones on Reddit. The last one I had claimed he wanted to help me after I made a long vent post on my general situation (not just about the videos, but 2/3 years was stil a heavy toll on me). This user came and said he lived in the same zone as me (for those who don't get why I don't want DMs, one of the reasons is I'm from Italy). After many talks on Discord, both chats and calls, even about personal things, when he even associated my loneliness and lack of support with "not having sex" (I still tolerated him), I really had to make a video between the end of February and early March. Althought I couldn't find a way to finish the script or completely film it until March 27th, I still came up with a video that should have already came out since months. Guess what he did? After I passed the half cleaned video to him (40 mins long), he messed it up with below amateur half - editing and just ghosted. I threw it all away after burning out trying to fix his mess. Now we're in August. My channel is still a barren landscape because of this person, who probably just wanted a pretty little "girlfriend", as he insisted on seeing each other in person in Naples, probably thinking I was more naïve than what I really am as an adult. Blaming me because bitterness hurts your fewings? Well, I was never disrespectful to him, Discord chats prove it.

Another person I met at the same time is a legit editor - yet she is far and lives in Milan and wants to do it "out of pity" - I understand hoew she feels sbout me, but if the relationship has to be based on pity, or shall feel like a cold job contract, I don't want that.

What I need is a capable person who can:

- use programs such as Davinci Resolve or After Effects;

- is reliable and has studied editing.

I was willing to pay them, but I don't know where to look, as sites like Pronto pro or Fiverr can hide scams and dangerous bots. Can you help me? Please avoid joke replies or dismissing of burnout feelings after all that has happened, let's discuss seriously and avoid DMs, as I don't trust Reddit users anymore.

Last July, an individual named "Kurwa" on Twitter became famous because, according to Ballguy, the second most reliable leaker out there (now first, as Billy is gone) confirmed the fact he said that there are gonna be 300+ new Pokémon (something I already explained might be possible only with alternate evos like what the >!third Legendary!< will get) and the name "Konetsu".

However, this person contradicts himself in a handful of ways:

- he stated to have a very primitive build with only placeholders that made it impossible for him to lookat new Pokémon, but then he's sure an old Billy riddle about new creatures was fabricated;

- he can also say how the rendering distance is in more advanced builds and the final game, while not claiming to have actually seen them;

- when asked about locations in the map, he conveniently speaks about very peculiar LEAKED ones back in December, like >!Neon Abyss!<. Aren't you so slick, Kurwa?

- When asked about the new gimmick, the only thing he can say is "it's very complex"... Wasn't he the one who "wanted to end the larp"?

- He claims to know that gen 11's region won't be based on Southwest US or Greece, that Legends 3 sucks, as if he's played it, but he doesn't know the gen 10 region name, >!Netsu!<'s typing and whether a supposed new Houndhour split evo is connected to a regional form;

- he first claims to be a "tester", then he recently said to have worked alongside Iwao (the developer behind combat systems, Legends: Arceus and partially Champions) and that he saw how he acted, yet he didn't know he was working on Seed (a Kanto - Johto - Hoenn - Sinnoh - Kitakami MMO) and how he would act... Geez, DO YOU REALIZE THIS IS ON PAIR WITH "My cousin works at GF and has the gen 11 game", right?

- he stated Karasu is Legends 3's new codename after Ringo, but this was debunked by several Ballguy and Billy posts that mentioned it when talking about Pokémon News.

Moot/Cowman's communities are mostly treating everything this guy says as gold, when what he did is denying proof to what he said and contradict himself and facts. Just because we're in a drought of WW info, it doesn't mean anyone a bit creative (with a bit of real Teraleak info in Kurwa's case) on X is a leaker.

Kurwa is not a reliable source until proven otherwhise, my lads. And even if he got stuff right, he still messed up quite a few things. Take ANYTHING he's saying on Twitter with hyper gratis of salt.

I've lately been overthinking about the graves in the trailer. Beside the blatantly fraud reincarnation rumor (please, hold on in the drought!), since the official site appeared, I started supporting the theme of loss of identity being tackled even by solving forgotten victims' cases and pacifing their spirits, if deceased.

I do think the horror themes listed by Thai ratings and the description of more present gore might be because of more violent crimes that might affect party members' close people (that's why I think it'd be more probable if the bosses were the Shadow versions of the culprits, just not people in power like P5. I don't know, I'd find kinda problematic to beat up the spirit of your party member's murdered boyfriend and it'd be difficult to make the Shadow of a living victim the boss because of the same issues).

I kinda want this as a chance to explore issues like cyberbullying, seeing how people's comments about suicidal victims are often insensitive, or sexual violence, especially with male victims, seing how they're often seen as jokes even by self - declaring "inclusive media" (*coff, coff!* Hazbin Hotel). The example above this paragraph also comes from my wish to see the dead/murdered love interest/partner trope reversed for once, since I hate how male- centered these kinds of plotlines are.

The identity theme and possible racism/xenophobia themes, given that MC is white, could also lead to a more diverse main cast, maybe with him + an Okiniwan and or/Southeast Asian, since most Persona parties are very homogenous. I hope that, given the trailer's graveyard is Yokohama's Foreign Cemetery, they don't fall into stereotypes around foreigners, both party members and victims (hoping their phenotype won't always be blue/teal eyes - blonde hair, because, for example, very few Italian ethnic groups can have that, mostly in Naples - Aversa zone, I know 'cause I'm from there and I can the Nordic heritage on many of us clearly, and even those can be brunettes or toast as they age).

At the end of July, everyone was talking about how the Winds and Waves dex will be made of 300+ new species of Pokémon. This sparked when a supposed leaker named Ku*va started posting about it Ballguy agreed. But let's see why it probably isn't the case:

- 300 new Pokémon would mean they made every design right at their first try? If you know how design works, you know it's unlikely to say the least;

- how do you balance all these creatures? Each one should have new abilities, stats and other stuff that would make it a living hell;

- how do you sustain the merch with this many Pokémon?

And, to be fair, Ku*va, even though the English speaking fanbase and Cowman/Moot's crew made him like a deity, hasn't really shown to be realiable, as he contradicts himself too much:

- he said to be a tester, yet he didn't know the region's name;

- he also said he knew Billy (the most accurate leaker we ever had) made a troll riddle, while claiming that his build's Pokémon are mostly placeholders;

- he claimed Legends 3 sucked, that gen11's region isn't any of the countries he was mentioning, but he didn't describe the gimmick or didn't know about the things above.

Guys, I'm sorry, but he's a half fraud with some real stuff. BG supported him merely because he had a fight with Billy and wanted him degraded in importance or gone.

300 new Pokémon isn't likely. A huge dex of both new and old ones is.

- Persona 3: SEES: an investigation extracurricular group who has to fight during the Dark Hour against Shadows and a dangerous doomsday cult;

- Persona 4: an investigation squad on its way to solve a serial killer case, using powers from a paranormal TV world to shield potential victims, even among themselves;

- Persona 5 ): Phantom Thieves: noble thieves who expose corrupt people and criminals throught a supernatural world that reflects thise people's desires and mindset.

Given that occult themes from Persona 1/2 are probably back, many thought of Yokai shenanigans. But we should know these stories work more when they're about people/characters. So I thought, what if we got something that mixes P4 and P5's concepts?

One of the authors stated that Persona 5's gentleman thieves theme also catered to people who like stories about thieves in a way they could enjoy them in a safe way. Given that Persona 6 was in development since 2020, I might have found the theme this chapter might reflect.

You might have noticed that it's since six years ago that True Crime gained a huge popularity. The negative side is that there are some people who either make content that focuses too much on shock value or indignation (it's an especially American attitude, with no offense) and, in the worst cases, fans that treat real life incidents as if those involved were characters. If they made a similar reasoning, we might get a crime solving group, this time focusing on separate cases.

For the occult side, many true crime stories are believed to have a supernatural side. For example, after the "Hello Kitty murder case", the young girlfriend of one of the perpetrators went to the police after continously dreaming her victim. Not only this, but people who lived near or in the same condominium where the case happened reported feeling touched without seeing anybody, hearing a woman cry or seeing her ghost. Even one of the criminals stated that, for a second during trials, all women's face was the victim's. And when the judge or the murderers declared to be innocent, the lights started flashing for a while. None of this is demonstrated, but it's interesting.

I think that, just like in Persona 5 the change of hearth made the culprits confess, we might see a specular process in Persona 6, where dungeons are created by restless souls of forgotten victims, maybe tied to the party members, based on memories and will be also influenced by those they had a bond within the group, who might even join after asking the occult school club students for help after experiencing supernatural activity, with the goal of pacifing them by telling and remembering their stories and solve their cases.

I might make an artistic reconstruction of the infamous Mt. Lykaion ritual sacrifice that allergedly involved boys.

How should I realistically portray the human sacrifice, based on animal sacrifice methods and considering a Bronze - Iron age teen's average size, if you are more expert than me on the subject matter, AI aside, how do you think the painting should look?

With P5 having introduced different palaces, there's no way back to P3 and 4.

What if we are going to have dungeons similar to palaces, but instead of reflecting people in power's distorted desires, they reflected victims?

Seeing the initial graveyard view, it's likely that we're going to investigate on cases, probably forgotten ones, by communicating with restless spirits, mkst connected to the protagonists and having the dungeons reflecting their life right before they passed or, even more disturbingly, the way they passed and what they went throught.

The bosses might also be shadow versions of their murderers/tormentors, with the victim eventually makingit possible so solve their case and let their story see the light of day again. Basically, a reverse Persona 5.

Yu and his uncle grow attached each other without many problems. But we may get a very different situation, since the implication of a foreign MC given by the Yokoama Foreign Cemetery in the trailer and leaked designs:

- Yu is 100% Japanese;

- P6 MC is probably foreign, maybe 100%.

I'd expect not to be liked immediately by anyone while playing as him, and I think that's one of the main reasons why so many people love the idea of supportive adults, based on my survey and latest posts. But do you think it should be closer to what Yu got, but vrought further, since I never see talk about how his uncle worries and tries to warn him on how he could be among the killer's victims too. This might be different in P6 and occult cases MC is going to investigate, while struggling to hide his secret life from protective host parents.

Or he could be like Joker's situation, where he gets framed as a criminal and his caretaker doesn't like him at first. But host parents often sign up in these circumstsnces, so I have my doubts on this scenario.

What do you think would be the best or more probable route?

Since the main character is probably an exchange student from abroad, as blond is used to differentiate foreign characters in Persona, I though the home base could be a host home. I liked the idea of the host parents being among people who supported MC, but I've started to like the idea of one of them or both being abusive to their biological child and them. If it's just the father, it could work fine, but instead of a solely violent individual, I'd rather him to be a manipulator as well, because toxic dynamics work like this too often. If it's both the mother and the father, it'd be cooler, because if the mother is more directly abusive, it would subverse the problematic/runaway father trope that feels overdone, especially if the child is male, and it could be a commentary on how abuse in families can affect even individuals who aren't directly in in the firing line. I think there should be a more supportive member who treats every child there as her own and who supports then - maybe an aunt? How often do aunts get to live with their sisters?

However, here is a poll. Would you rather have...

View Poll

Since I wanted to start play games such as Persona, I looked up some of their features issues.

Main sub seems to hate Persona, saying Atlus is misogynystic and stuff, but looking more into it, I feel like there might be more than that.

I liked the P6 teaser very much, I love the more horrorific tone and less shonen anime feel to it. Yes, I know the protagonist is a guy.

Even thought many will tell you to boycott, I'm sorry to tell you boycotting is more than often uneffective or detrimental. For example, Pokémon Legends: Z - A sold less than Arceus (12 millions are many, but they wanted much more) and, according to a very reliable leaker, they almost considered quitting Legends after L3. Who tells you Atlus won't start making more cookie cutter games if Persona 6 fails?

Anyway, do you have any actual alternatives? Are there other mashed genre games you deem more girl qnd LGBTQ friendly? If not, just sayin' I don't really like pure fantasy settings or classic JRPG ones, so if there's something more mixed with urban/sci - fi, it's just better

Thanks for reading, waiting for your suggestions.

How would you find a partner who could edit video for you in real life?

Most, if not, all of those I met online were unreliable and interested for different reasons. I should have posted a full video nearly 4 months ago, but my "partner" messed up my work and left.

I'm desperate to find a reliable one and I intend to pay them after they prove to be reliable.

People eho get this kind of help: how did you meet your partner?
