Proof that I've internalized my role in the legal field: I'm playing a casual mobile game and keep wanting to object to the legal system's portrayal within the game
#personal#shitpost#the game in question is called love & pies#it's actually a good game! cute lil story would recommend#but. BUT.#it seems like with every new twist in the story i have to go#'wait that's not how alimony works'#'that's not how transfers of property work'#'that's not how... BEING A LAWYER works!'#admittedly i am only really familiar with family law and then only in two states in the usa#and the game is set in some ambiguous setting that can't be the usa#(since the town it's set in apparently got founded 1000 years ago)#(imagine a world where that was the usa. where we actually kept native towns intact and honored their existence)#(instead of committing genocide against the natives in both the mass racial murder and the cultural erasure senses)#(but i digress)#so like. the rules are presumably a little different in this fictional 'appleton' setting#but. some of this just... no.#no jurisdiction out there is gonna work like they show the legal system working#that's just not the way it all functions#also as someone in the field of family law and whose father is a family law attorney#i take almost personal offense to the suggestion in the game that all that matters in family law is $$$#and the side with the better lawyers can make blatantly unfair decisions without guidance#judges are there! and get involved in these cases! and for good reason! did they just forget judges exist?#and even then the whole '$$$ means good lawyers who can do anything' is... not entirely untrue but at least overblown#the story is good in other ways to be clear!#i doubt any of this would bug someone outside the legal field!#and in fact i really like that one of the characters is both a lawyer and a runner#because my dad is both of those things also hehe#but. ughhh. i needed to let this out
