Persona vs Nerf - Is this game meant for Kids or Adults?

This is a genuine concern I have,

The promotion before the Persona promotion was Nerf. The persona skins are 100% red-light district style skins.

Are we perpetuating tinder-watch, and advertising to younger generations at the same time?

I don’t really know to be honest, and a large part of me wants to close my doors to Blizz, but every other fun game these days is worse about it these days.

I give up. My opinions are invalid and I struggle to have a rational conversation with other adults.

Teens.

My friend has 3 kids, he and I use the Nerf guns more than the kids (even looping in the neices and nephews) do.
They picked like middlest middle aged man for the primary skin reciever for the Nerf collab.

If you’re being legitimately confused, ESRB rating is and has been for teens since launch. The primary target audience is probably 15-24, but they throw in stuff like Bebop, Transformers, GI Joe, and Gundam Wing so they definitely know they have a very spread out audience.

always funny to me to read stuff like that over skins

Like I don’t even remember there was a Nerf collab and I think Persona is going on right now? Not sure, but I think I remember a thread title with Persona in it, so it must be :thinking:

Anyway, can’t imagine why I would quit playing a game because of it. What is the concern, exactly?

To be fair, Nerf is super old. The way I see it is that the Nerf crossover was kinda similar to the Cowboy Bepop skins in that they were trying to bank on the older players’ nostalgia.

OW2 is meant for a wide range of ages, just like comics books! Who enjoys comic books? Young boys and adult men. Its a similar thing for OW2 but includes more women (girls and women do like comic books, but not as much as boys/men) and Transgenders too :relieved: OW2 is all about inclusivity.

Thats why the OW2 collabs seem all over the place. OW2 trying to go Worldwide! :earth_americas: :earth_africa: :earth_asia:

Congratulations you’ve been exposed to persona 5 when the characters are in the Meta-Verse

This gave me a chuckle, good one.

(because it’s true)

So, OP-like loud crowd got Tracer’s … thing “nerfed” and then some. Can you just … go away, pretty please? The rest of us are trying to enjoy.

the problem is… I have no idea what they mean.

If they mean they look like call girls well… how??

People assume call girls are dressed nice and not in body suits

Which would leave the idea that they mean something worse and again… they don’t (by public idea) wear body suits.

So I can only imagine they are going off something they saw off the Internet…

Its a reference to the Red-Light District of Amsterdam, which has women (and men) in windowed buildings with kinky clothes on, advertising “adult” services. I watched a documentary about it one time, never been myself :relieved:

Huh, you learn something new every day

Always thought it was a reference to the kinds of dealings that went on at stoplights around shady neighborhoods

I am a weeb, so I thought of the red light district in Japan…

Indeed.

But Im pretty sure OP was referencing the European (or Japanese) version, which normalizes latex clothing and masks like Panther Mercy or Joker Wuyang. In Red-Light Districts of North America, its a little more “discrete” with the clothing choices and lack of masks.

Op would have a wild time playing persona 4 if they think that’s bad

Persona skins aren’t red-light district style skins. They’re literally based on the video game and that game does not promote such a thing.

Both adults and adults can enjoy Nerf out of either Nostalgia or now having children themselves. Hand-me-down toys and all that.

And both adults and children can enjoy Persona as a video game.

What? It’s for everyone. Why do you have to be a child to like Nerf? Or must you be an adult or a teen to like Persona?

Just because a collab isn’t FOR YOU doesn’t mean it isn’t for someone else. This applies to ALL of them, from One Punch Man, Cowboy Bebop, and so on. Overwatch has always been the “all are welcome here” game since 2016.
