#and atlus refuses to do anything with it

The thing about Makoto is that fucking EVERYTHING that’s interesting about her is stuff Atlus has no interest in actually exploring

Like it is INTERESTING that she is actually really impulsive and that impulsiveness is kept in check by a lifetime of sucking up to adults and it is INTERESTING that her main flaw makes her bad at the thing she wants to do and I would LOVE it if we explored her temper or her impulsivity or her desire to prove herself and be useful or the way she feels bad about being mad at her dad for not being around and how that relates to Sae being mad at her dad for dying and SO MUCH MORE

But we don’t get that because heaven forbid we explore these kinds of flaws in depth and realize Makoto actually has shit she needs to work on
