Yeah, in my idealized version of the game that's the angle I read it as
But in practice that kinda falls flat when the immediate next arc prominently feature the two dudes who JUST helped liberate her from a serial sexual assault force her into more uncomfortable sexual situations because Funny
Makoto's storyline is that she wants to be a cop and then she spends several months being shown what a corrupt
institution law enforcement is and trying to reform it from within will only corrupt or kill you no matter how virtuous you are, and then she decides she wants to be a cop even more
persona 5: so ann's storyline is about how she's fighting back against society constantly sexualizing her, and her awakening scene explicitly shows her destroying an outside party's perverted viewpoint of her
persona 5: however, she is also a girl in a persona game. so. uh. hm. uh hmm. so
Wuk Lamat: In literally every situation I enter my foremost goal is to understand the people around me and the context in which they exist and devise a solution from that foundation
Lyse: Ugh stop WHINING about the enslavement and subjugation of your entire culture you buncha Debbie Downers
TBH I think the comparisons people are constantly drawing between Wuk Lamat and Lyse are pretty overblown because they are actually quite distinct characters beyond the very bare surface level, but like also accepting the premise that they fulfill the same narrative role Wuk Lamat does it way better
I'm like half or maybe two thirds of the way through Dawntrail and I feel like getting into the specifics would be spoilers but a lot of it does feel to me like they're trying to spiritually re-do the Ala Mhigo half of Stormblood to not suck and mostly succeeding

"Oh you want a burrito why don't you order from DON MARTINEZ'S PREMIUM MEXICAN CUISINE, our slogan is we're definitely not Applebee's in a trenchcoat and Groucho glasses trying to sneak into an R-rated movie!"
Doing a full Scooby-Doo unmasking scene on this oddly clean-looking "local" pizza parlor I've never heard of and revealing Buffalo Wild Wing's underneath
Doordash ghost kitchens are hilarious, like how bad is the reputation of Denny's that they have to do an identity fraud to trick me into ordering food from them
Love when a piece of fiction is like, actually our dragons are alien refugees from another planet who were chased here by a pissed off robot crab, accidentally created catholicism, then started a fight with it until a heretic schism happened because one lady really, really wanted to fuck a dragon.
Trump was so resistant to doing the job that he tried to get us to call Mar a-Lago "the Winter White House" to legitimize the fact that he planned to spend most of his time on vacation.
Bought that Granblue Fantasy action RPG thinking it'd maybe be a good jumping on point for the franchise and nope I don't know any of these people and it clearly expects me to
This is probably the grimmest, most serious face Luffy has made in the entire series up to this point. It feels wrong. There's so much that feels so wrong about this storyline and it fucking owns. (One Piece)
RETVRN to traditional masculinity when Real Men would tote around their babby kitties in case they needed kisses on their fuzzy little heads. Photo from my collection, no date/info.
I remember when they were reworking ARR to make it more streamlined and I was like "surely this wine hunt bullshit will get condensed" and Yoshi-P was like "WineQuest must be preserved at all costs"
