Rules of AATWT
Heads up, if you ever venture onto Ace Attorney Twitter, remember these unwritten rules they have set if you want to save yourself:
NEVER say you don’t ship Phoenix and Edgeworth or ship anything that conflicts with it (can also apply to Klavier/Apollo). Unless you “ship it as exes” and mayyyyybeee you can get away with langworth or Gumworth but even those are on thin ice.
On that note, Edgeworth and Franziska can never ever ever be shipped with opposite gender. Bisexuality can’t exist for them. Edgeworth also can’t be aroace because clearly you would only ever headcanon him as such out of spite against naru mitsu
In fact, the only acceptable straight ships are Magshoe, Ronsiree, and (sometimes) Miego.
However these are the ships that have AAtwt’s undying hatred and will get you tons of callouts and unpersoning calling you a pedo apologist: Narumayo, Cykesquill, and Ryuususa. In fact, even if you don’t ship them but simply say you don’t think there’s a problem if others do you will be in hot water!
You MUST agree with whatever “sibling coded” and “parental figure” headcanon they have. The aforementioned ships right above ARE 100% sibling coded and that’s the only right way to interpret their relationships and it’s incest to ship them.
Oh and Edgeworth IS Kay and Sebastian/Eustace’s dad, don’t you dare disagree with that. Even saying you think he’s more of their big brother isn’t acceptable, parent/child is the only thing they can be.
And that of course makes Kay and Sebastian/Eustace siblings (even though they weren’t adopted or raised together) so don’t ship them!
NO nuanced interpretations on Manfred von Karma, or else you’re stupid or an abuse apologist. Never point out his “worthless person” line in AAI1 was a mistranslation, never suggest he didn’t force Edgeworth and/or Franziska to become prosecutors, never point out him burning Phoenix’s letters is fanon, you deserve to be ratioed to the nth degree!
Oh and don’t say anything critical on AA4, that game is 100% peak, how dare you say you don’t like the idea of Phoenix being disbarred.
On that note you must agree AA5 and AA6 are 100% (except for Simon Blackquill and maybe Athena) pure trash and travesties on the franchise. Don’t say you like those games or that you prefer them over AA4, they belong at the bottom of your tier lists and only idiots like them.
(disclaimer: this is not me listing the opposite of my opinions so much as what I’ve noticed the AAtwt hivemind gets aggressively hostile over)
