I want so badly to live in blissful ignorance and imagine that an ace attorney world with Fem!Phoenix and Fem!Edgeworth would be totally the same except with cool women lawyers, but I fear the casual sexism of the early otts would heavily impact the plot :(

#nobody in the AA fandom likes when I point out the sexism and I need you to know I LOOOVE this game. but I can acknowledge its flaws #and it's flaw is: although they make fun of all their characters. They make fun of women characters specifically for being women #I think the lawyers being men is actually a key part of the story (nick being a empathetic caretaker breaks masculine gender stereotypes)#(through nick miles must reexamine all his assumptions about how the world works and how one must act to succeed as a man and lawyer)#but it WOULD be interesting to see an exploration of women lawyers in a male dominated field #i think if miles edgeworth had to deal with workplace inequality on top of all his other issues he would simply explode #i don't think he could handle the dad trauma and the gayness and the neurodivergence AND the expectation to perform femininity correctly #SO YEAH i had fun but i don't think I'll ever draw these fem designs again. i would rather explore actual portrayals of women in the games #ace attorney #fem!phoenix wright #fem!miles edgeworth #my art #gyakuten saiban #fem!narumitsu
