RULES:

I've been accused of something and need someone to defend me, but I'm actually kinda broke atm.

at the same time, I don't wanna risk being sentenced guilty, so i wanna hire the best of the best.

so if you guys could help me that would be much appreciated.

Phoenix Wright (Apollo Justice version) is my ideal look as a man. His outfit and just overall vibe (Apollo Justice version) is just so chill and relaxed and like "hahahaaaa" (that's like something he would say) (Apollo Justice version).

Something about his wardrobe and style mixed with his expression and mannerisms is just so like "I don't give a fuck" it's totally boss and I really want to emulate that as a man. I just look up to it. You don't have to be misogynist like Godot to be all cool and "hahahaaaa." I'd consider myself a feminist but I don't think it's misogynist to have this "I-just-don't-give-a-fuck" vibe as a man. Like just look at the way he has his hand on his head there. He's like "hmm... hahahaaaa."

An image of masculinity for me honestly. Something about the way he looks all musty and slightly unkempt is super masculine and chill to me. I always wanted to smell a little musty. Not too much. My dad always smelt musty, so I always looked up to that about him, just tried to ignore the misogynist stuff. I just don't really get misogyny, love is love and everything. I love musty smelling men.

Anyway, just my thoughts on one of the more underrated parts of the franchise. I always thought Phoenix Wright (Apollo Justice version) was a shining beacon of positive masculinity. Thoughts?

i think the series always had a "niche game gets 94 out of 100 on metacritic... reviewed by 7 critics" vibe

having finally played it all with the official AAI2 translation, and all of us having played it, i think now is a great time to come to a consensus

the series is OKAY but it's not THAT good. people would tell you it's attorney of the arcane tier or better than professor layton etc. it's better than danganronpa. that's it! that's all. it's worse than most of the games in the world still. it's so bloated in scope and the games are very dry and the writing is just as mediocre as in the danganronpa games

Lau is definitely best Fey.

They really went from spirit channelling to cookies

Am i the asshole for protecting a co-worker?

This is a throwaway account for obvious reasons.

A few years ago, I was the Chief of Police, and we had this incredibly complicated case—a murder involving one of our detectives. My colleague, "Colleague A" [24F], was assigned to the case alongside her rookie partner, "Colleague B" [18F]. Here's where things get tricky.

During the investigation, I realized who the real killer was: "Person C" [30M], a prosecutor who attacked the victim. But the situation escalated, and I had to... intervene. In the heat of the moment, I made a decision to cover up what really happened. Instead of revealing the truth, I tampered with some evidence and hid the real murder weapon. The thing is, I did this to protect "Colleague A," because I knew she'd be in a lot of trouble if the truth came out. It was a mess, but at the time, I thought it was better to control the narrative and protect the careers of the people involved.

Over the years, "Colleague A" rose in the ranks to become Chief Prosecutor. She feels indebted to me because I "helped" her back then, and she's willing to take the blame for the case—she thinks she owes me. Recently, "Colleague B," her sister, has also been dragged into the case, and this young defense attorney, "Lawyer D" [26M], started investigating the old evidence. He’s getting close to uncovering the truth.

I was just trying to protect "Colleague A" and her sister from a scandal that could’ve ruined their careers, and I felt like keeping things under wraps was the best way to maintain order. Now, everything is coming to light, and people are questioning my actions.i

AITA for stepping in and altering the outcome of this case, even if it meant covering up the real story?
