[real-frosty]

This is my opinion, and my opinion only, if it's wrong or offends you Im sorry. Im already expecting backlash for this but I wanted to say what I think about Barok Van Zeiks. And it's not negative, so if you're already in flames, please scroll past now.

I'm also going to say, and this is repeated later in the post. I AM NOT THE TARGET FOR A CHARACTER LIKE HIM. I ADMIT FULLY AND WHOLEHEARTEDLY I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED THE THINGS HE DOES AND SAYS POINTED TOWARDS ME, AND IF YOU HAVE YOUR FEELINGS AND OPINIONS ARE VALID.

I'm not even gonna put this under the read more you guys will accept with open arms a character like Edgeworth who literally falsified evidence against countless innocent people and had them put to death for a crime they didn't commit. Or the time he faked his death or emotionally manipulated his friends and family. Why is that? Oh because it was a belief implanted in him by trauma and encouraged by bad people and role models around him

Just like Van Zeiks has a bad belief implanted by trauma and fostered in him by bad people and role models. H u h. Who would've guessed.

First and foremost, and my only real main point. The games were written by Japanese people for Japanese people, if they address it as wrong but forgiveable...who am I or you to say it isn't?

I'm not endorsing going and saying mean shit to people because of their race, and I'm not saying ace attorney or Capcom does either, that's just stupid, and I'm not saying it's alright to do that no matter what your reason is.

But the games also weren't written to mirror or have an impact on real life people or events, it's not commentary on class or race systems it's a silly lawyer game featuring people named after eggs and money. The insults are surface level and done that way very much on purpose, it's not meant to make you gasp and uninstall the game every time you talk to the prosecutor, it's a deliberate choice made to make a character and write an arc for him, an arc that sees his trauma confronted and his admission that he was wrong. As well as implication that he will go on to do and be and act better. Barok is a character who had a wrong belief implanted in him via trauma and that same belief was nurtured and encouraged by those higher than him because it fit perfectly into their power play. And yes what he does is wrong but..a Japanese person who may have experienced it firsthand in actual person looked at what they had written and said 'This is okay, he can be redeemed' so why is everyone so against the idea?

Racism is not okay, it isn't, don't do it, and don't think that I'm saying this because I think it's okay or I'm endorsing it. If you've experienced it I'm sorry and maybe the story impacted you differently than it did me, and that's valid. And I again acknowledge I'm not the target for the comments the model on the screen is making, but that doesn't mean anyone gets to treat other people badly because of fictional characters because that's also not okay. Just try to be a little open minded, and accept that it's okay to like a character for more reasons than one. And liking a character does not mean you excuse or follow/believe their flaws or wrongdoings

translation:

They threw a tomato at his face.

Barok: Ouch.

Will you get him or will you throw trash at him?

barok: that "great detective" of yours is nothing but a sham. a character from a childish novel. he's a danger to himself and eveyone else around.

also barok: oh lord, please grant me that ass
