Berserkx33 showed me this post to Tumblr a while ago. I wanted to share it and maybe hear some other people's thoughts on it. I've never seen Guardians of the Galaxy nor do I have someone in the autism spectrum in my day to day life. I found it very interesting that this poster's brother identified with a character that may or may not have been intentionally written like that. Either way it's nice that this kid had someone so strong and frankly pretty cool looking to identify with. Any thoughts about this character? Does anyone have another film to share that has a character like Drax for people in the autism spectrum?

inwiththeashes: " I've never played Persona but from what I gather, it's the best representation of any sort of LGBT character in a game. " Dec 8, 2014 13:00:29 GMT

inwiththeashes: Uh, I don't know if anybody else is here and this is really old. Dec 8, 2014 13:00:53 GMT

inwiththeashes: But there aren't any LGBT characters in Persona as far as I know. Dec 8, 2014 13:01:43 GMT

inwiththeashes: There's actually some pretty blatant casual homophobia in places

inwiththeashes: wait why are these emotes cylinders Dec 8, 2014 13:02:35 GMT

inwiththeashes: Best LGBT representation is probably Gone Home, tbh. Dec 8, 2014 13:03:15 GMT

inwiththeashes: Like I know that's a pretty typical answer, but the relationship is presented without any stereotypes or fetishization attached, while still acknowledging the problems faced by gay couples. Dec 8, 2014 13:05:17 GMT

athena: In Persona 2, one of the Protags is, and the PC can be, if you choose. Persona 3 has some eh homophobia parts, I believe, but Persona 4 has some p decent LGBT subtext. Dec 23, 2014 7:50:01 GMT

athena: Not sure what you're quoting, but they're probably referring to Persona 2 - not sure if I'd call it the best, but. There are definitely LGBT characters in the Persona series. Dec 23, 2014 7:50:45 GMT
