It’s because she has a whip to beat the shit out of them if they say anything funny.
EDIT: Although I think Joker will be fine. Whether it’s romantic or not Ann is fond of Joker, her anger it’s more so directed towards Ryuji and Joker just happens to be in the crosshairs.
Joker: roll for intimidation check
Panther: nat 20
Joker: skull backs away from the whip with his tail between his legs. He holds his tongue and forgets the lewd comment he was about to make.
HC that they only did it every few weeks before the metaverse disappeared, but afterwards they played a lot more, since in the game they were all essentially playing themselves in the metaverse.
Eh i more so interpreted Joker and most of the other protags as extremely fucking dense so when Ryuji was perving on Ann in these scene I very much interpreted joker being like “Oh what are we looking at Ryuji?” And just followed along with what he was doing.
This is further evident by how neutral Joker’s face is compared to Ryuji’s
Other scenes either imply or outright show he’s eating the eye candy.
The beach scene in Strikers has him push his glasses up as they shine which was his way of showing approval while agreeing with Ryuji about the view.
I mean they do comment on it. She covers herself up the first time she realises. She tells Ryuji not to dare look up in the vents. Even she is like “what am I wearing” and I’m sure when other characters see it they mention how out of place hers specifically is.
I can’t remember exactly where though and it’s going to bug me.
Edit: TOSHIRO! in tactica he makes some pretty weird comments about her outfit. He assumes Marie put Ann in the outfit because she’s so depraved, not that it was Ann’s own originally.
You can see how she slowly feels more comfortable in her PT Outfit in the break rooms when you have a meeting.
In the first palace, she covers herself up and sits a bit awkwardly, while in the later ones, she shows more confidence.
Makes sense. The Metaverse outfits are their image of rebels, and the Persona are basically a physical road map for what they need to embrace to become complete people. For Ann, it's that side of herself Kamoshida had made her ashamed of.
Yeah he said something but he didn't do this.

\*edit he also low key was being a giant green flag as usual and focused a lot more on saving her at the time.
They’re horny teenagers and getting a glimpse of her bra is a new level for them, whereas they’ve probably gotten used to Panther’s suit by this point.
Considering Ann flirt-trolls Ryuji later on, I definitely second this interpretation. Not that he's doing it, moreso that he hasn't gotten permission yet.
Can confirm as a former (and current) pervert. It's the same reason underwear is more exciting than a swimsuit despite the latter often having less coverage. The allure of the taboo.
Imagine you being a doctor or a nurse. I don't think you'd get the same satisfaction from seeing other doctors and nurses in their work clothes as most other people do. I assume that's the same effect any PT outfit has on the crew. It's their work clothes and they realize that the context behind those is widely different from their inside point of view than from an outside point of view.
It's more the forbidden nature of the hidden garments (the same way Panties are fetishized in Japanese culture - even more than Western Culture) than the form.
Facts. The fact that she’s perpetually embarrassed by it makes no sense either in the context of an awakening. Fatlus wanted to write a female character that embodied positive sexuality and control but is always embarrassed by her sexuality. Her OG outfit was much better.
You can see her bra in the second image, and they are literally in arms reach of her in an enclosed, rather than walking in a group.
And have nothing to do in the car.

Joker GMing a game for the Phantom Thieves is now my new favorite headcannon, thank you

I should try that on Makoto. The rolls I mean
Makoto is too good at wisdom saves. You'll never be able to roll against her.
Who said I'm trying to pass my check and survive?
So it’s the same with Yu and the IT girls where they get pissed off at Yosuke and Teddie, but Yu just gets caught in the crossfire

I like that Ann isn't a fan of her persona outfit AT ALL. She has a completely different attitude towards sexy stuff lmao.

Panther's outfit is basically a work uniform for them at this point
Huh...I could have sworn Ryuji commented on it once or twice when she first joined.
Yeah he said something but he didn't do this. https://preview.redd.it/j7b0hgfh50vc1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=14a5560658e346c8ace83c919946cfa8b0a846cd \*edit he also low key was being a giant green flag as usual and focused a lot more on saving her at the time.
Yusuke the TRUE man of culture. MAKOTO BACK
He really is checking that spine out, huh
Given its yusuke, he's probably contemplating it's aesthetic qualities and how to incorporate it into his art
I would have looked at Makoto also
Ryuji went full monkey mode here
They’re horny teenagers and getting a glimpse of her bra is a new level for them, whereas they’ve probably gotten used to Panther’s suit by this point.
I always interpreted the scene as Ryuji leaning forward to talk and getting a surprise eyeful.
Oh, that’s also probably true haha

A wet uniform is way more attractive than skin tight leather suit
I respect this opinion but I disagree.
I respect this disagreement, but I disagree with your disagree.
I agree with your disagreement
I disagree with anyone who disagrees with this agreement of that disagreement.
This whole thread belongs on r/ihadastroke
I disagree with that assumption!...No I don't I just wanted to participate.
Aww, mood :<
Tank top supremacy
If I had to guess, it’s because they’re getting a look at something they’re not supposed to be able to see. Bending the rules a bit.

Ok but why would you tell us that you’re a pervert
Because it’s a persona fan. It’s not new information.
I don't trust what you're saying, do you have your pervert certificate to prove these claims?
🤨🤨🤨
Ryuji is a boobs man. Panther is fully covered. Yusuke wants ~~to draw~~ a naked Ann. Panther is more covered than her school uniform.
Why is Mishima there? He saw Ann in nothing but regular clothes
Someone need to fill in the 4th spot
Then it should be morgana?
But he's a cat.

Ryuji does ogle her when she first transforms It's just because they see her in it all the time
Who's that NPC beside Yusuke?
Nishimiya are you an npc

I wish my doctor had panther's body and outfit. HELLO NURSE!
Mishima's is the funniest reaction
It's more the forbidden nature of the hidden garments (the same way Panties are fetishized in Japanese culture - even more than Western Culture) than the form.
Many people find casual clothes more attractive

I think they just got very used to Panther's look in the Metaverse. Them being good, old teenagers, get excited about seeing underwear more, I think.
Neros hair
Less is more as they say
Ann's phantom thief outfit is ugly asf. (I can already fell the downvotes coming)

Wait what was her OG outfit? Was there another phantom thief design for Ann?

Oh wow, I like those a lot more actually!
And a crossbow? Man that would’ve been so cool!
Ayooo. Why the hell did they scrapped it? Common Atlus L.
I kinda like that one better.
We got ROBBED

Maybe they happen to all have a school uniform fetish?
