A Vrai Kaiser essay on Vision of Escaflowne and Persona 4
https://vraikaiser.com/2019/02/01/do-this-not-that-trans-coded-characters-the-vision-of-escaflowne-vs-persona-4/
I'm linking this because I really, really hate Persona 4, and Vrai does a great job of explaining why one specific aspect of the game "hits every branch of the “fuck you” tree on the way to rock bottom." I'd actually go farther than Vrai does: almost every character arc other than Kanji is like this in one way or another, and the main difference is which aspect of their assigned social role the character is "confused" about and needs to learn to passively accept.
