not a bad assumption - in reality, ryukishi07 spent a lot of time as a social worker, so he has a very solid understanding of how kids with issues act and what they respond to, what they can find triggering, etc. his sympathies really come through in his writing of children

Oh! That explains why the Silent Hill F trailers just pinged so heavy on the "yes, yeeeeees, we know our trauma psychology" And like, that's not an easy job, makes sense he'd go from that to working on horror projects.

(I will give Persona 5 so much shit for being hypocritical regarding teacher/student relationships, but the parts about suicide, corruption, and just. How a kid deemed "bad" is treated by an entire school? That felt like an insight to a whole bunch of issues.)

(Not saying the guy worked on it, oh no, not enough nuance, but like. Just as far as major media about these topics go, that's one I'm familiar with and it's clear there definitely needs to be conversations had.)
