103. I'm religious, too, and while I haven't encountered anyone specific being mocked for their beliefs, I have seen a lot of mocking general religions. Like, "Oh, I bet all the people who hate series x are Christians, because they're so intolerant/homophobic." Way to paint us all with one brush, people. And then there are the people who mindlessly bash a character who is religious...

106. Haha, I empathize so much. I'm a straight girl, but I have crushes on several fictional female characters.

119. Who cares about the elitists? If you like P3, you're a fan of P3. As someone who has only played P3, I've seen this quite a bit in the SMT fandom and it's really ridiculous. It would be different if this was a series of games that had some continuity, but P3 is a stand alone game. And it's especially stupid for SMT games considering how rare they are. It's not like I can drive down to the nearest Gamestop and buy DDS or Nocturne.

162. I don't know how anyone couldn't realize this, especially if they've read Eclipse. It was pretty damn obvious in the first two books, but it's really spelled out in Eclipse. I love screwed up relationships like this, but it really bugs me that Meyer is presenting this as the ideal. Hell, even Jacob has some really creepy moments ("kiss me or I'll kill myself" WTF).

163. OH MY GOD THAT IS AMAZING. I need to get back on AC, but all the weeeeeeds... :( But when I do I shall PIERCE THE HEAVENS WITH MY SLINGSHOT and hopefully shoot down something suitably GAR in Kamina's honor.

168. A lot of people like characters that are manipulative assholes. Though I think a lot of fandom is warping him into the character they want him to be.

169. While I wouldn't laugh in his face, I don't think that makes you a horrible friend. That was entirely his fault. You tried to help him.

They do reference each other quite a lot, P3 included (though most of the things in P3 are just drawing from the other Persona games). I do agree though that there's nothing wrong with someone being a fan of just one or two of the games. The only thing that annoys me is people thinking they know everything about the whole series because they played one game. Which is obviously not the case here.

I think a lot of the older fans are just being stupid because they feel like they aren't special anymore since P3 got popular. There was the same type of backlash when Nocturne came out stateside.

Well, yes, they reference each other, but you're not missing anything plotwise if, say, you play P3 and not Nocturne. It's like Final Fantasy--if you play one of the (main) games and are a fan of it, it doesn't matter if you didn't play the ones that came before it since they're only tangentially related. Though there would be a problem if you played only one and said you were a fan of the whole series.

Yeah, that's probably it. The part that really boggles me is that... we got FES! No one thought we would ever get FES. And we got FES because P3 was unexpectedly popular. And because of all this, P4 will probably have a larger print run and thus not disappear after a few months. How is this a bad thing? :|

Hell, even Jacob has some really creepy moments ("kiss me or I'll kill myself" WTF).

LOL! I actually ship Jacob/Bella but that's so true! The way relationships are represented in general in this series at times really frightens me! Of course Edward/Bella is much more screwed up than any of the others but still....
