Hey…poly-sci grad here. Japan during their feudal era was, surprisingly, extremely tolerant towards homosexuality. Masuko’s husband would likely find the infidelity and the class disparity far more upsetting than the lesbianism in and of itself. It wasn’t until imperial Japan that homosexuality was looked down upon. This is less because of any moral reason and more because fascism relies upon woman having limited rights to focus on birthing the next generation. Germany REALLY honed in on that during WW2 to create the wunderkind. Source: loads of Japanese playwrights and historically positive retellings of homosexual men.
42:40 yeaaaaa…sometimes it’s best to let a whole cutscene play. Cuz now it makes a WHOLE lot more sense why she says “I was the lady of the house…you were a thief.”
"Peace for the Divine" probably has elevated emotional attachment to many people since it is relatable to the innocent animals we interact with through collectables. I don't know why, but that makes going for Inari shrines even more special.
Yeah, as a supervisor at my job, I'm hesitant to go around calling everyone with a lower position than mine friends. I try to act as friendly with them as I can, but also I absolutely have to keep in mind that simply the fact that I'm a part of leadership alone can be intimidating to others in the work place
It isn't intimidating at all everyone just knows you're gonna be a boss first and being slightly inappropriate comes built into the very concept of friendship.
@rizen8839 I'm not saying it's guaranteed to be intimidating but it being a possibility is enough for me to understand that the dynamic is going to be different for them than what it could feel like for me and it's important to me to remember that when I'm talking to others at work

Hey Dr. Mick, finally caught up to releases on one of your playthroughs, and just wanted to say I really appreciate your videos and perspective on these stories 💜
40:43 tbf would you sacrifice everything for someone who wronged you 50:00 I think it's a bit unfair to put the blame on the dead guy, like you could be right about him being a problem but he isn't here to share his side of the story, so all we know he could've been fine with it but draw the line at the thievery
Not dr.Mick erasing lulling they were friends card!! Simply roomates. Lol Oh dr. Mick you are so painfully staright sometimes. An I mean that with all the love in the world lol. The realization was so peak.

"Roommates"
LMAO I wasn't expecting you to go there
40:43 tbf would you sacrifice everything for someone who wronged you

Most marriages, especially noble marriages are arranged. Good chance she didn't get much of a choice in marrying her husband
