A Look at Death of the Author vs Authorial Intent Using Persona 4

First: I am sorry for the background footage being rather lazy! Personal things have me in an...interesting mental state so motivation has been a little hard to come by. I promise to be more creative with it in the future!
Second: as to the content of the video itself. Please note that I am NOT saying you can't headcanon characters as having different identities -- I want it clear that I support that 100%. I know some people have very personal connections to how they see a character, so it may make some people angry or defensive, so if I didn't make it clear enough in the video, I just want to say again that I believe that a reader's understanding of a text and the author's intent are BOTH essential and, when discussing media, both need to be taken into account.
Third: I love Persona 4 and it was a lot of fun revisiting the game (albeit, in a less than direct form) to talk about it here. Kanji and Naoto have both been some of my favourite characters and, if it wasn't clear through the vague hint, Yukiko and Chie have a special place in my heart.
Okay, I think that's about all I want to say. The background game play is Slime Rancher (it's a fun, relaxing game if you haven't played it yet! I would recommend it).
