Ann and Ryuji were really done dirty by Atlus after the Kamoshida arc.
I found a post by the tumblr user @cyandlne that pretty much sums up my problem with how poorly these precious characters were handled after Kamoshida. Here is what it says:
when your characterization in the first major part of the game is to abhor men acting skeevy and pervy and actually respect women as your peers but Atlus doesn't know what they're doing so you immediately go against everything you had established by becoming the "pervy friend" and objectify women constantly because Atlus assumes that's a necessary trait of a comic relief and sexual harassment is not a big deal unless it's acted upon
when your big character development is about fighting objectification and not letting men sexualize you without consent but Atlus once again doesn't know what they're doing so you are sexualized in every instance possible from your battle stance to your outfits and your behavior and you essentially become eye candy right after fighting the idea of women being only eye candy
