I feel like SAWTOWNE’s “Confessions of a Rotten Girl” is so good partially because of how it makes even people who may dislike fujoshis sympathize with Miku, and it’s interesting that it’s not actually done by painting her as “one of the good ones”. Everything that’s despised about fujoshi culture, Miku explicitly is portrayed as doing.
Disliking female characters on the basis of them “getting in the way” (and being quite misogynistic about it to boot), sexualizing and shipping men in real life (the men portrayed in the song are her teachers), and even the yaoi paddle known for being used to sexually harass cosplayers…
… all these aspects are there. Hell, one of the most disliked part about fujoshi culture from a social justice standpoint — the language of describing queer relationships as “sinful” — is the whole basis behind the song.
However, SAWTOWNE, instead of lessening that toxic trait, “yes, and”s it. “Yes, she calls queer relationships sinful, as a (presumably) heterosexual woman who finds their relationship gratifying. AND, the reason she does that is because she is a sexually repressed Christian who feels guilty about having any sexual desire whatsoever.”
I think that one (very clever!) addendum makes it so any discomforting aspects to the song takes a backseat. Instead of being a song about trying to resist an interest in yaoi / The Gays specifically, it more so becomes a song about trying to resist any “abnormal” sexual desires, which makes it very easy to like this version of Miku, even as someone who very much dislikes the aspects of fujoshi culture she represents.
Plus we need more gooner girl rep anyway, lol. (As a comment on the video said: close enough! Welcome back Plus Boy!)
I just had an idea on how the AA games could introduce a Narumitsu are married thing.
Since we already had Turnabout Time Traveller, Phoenix would get involved into an investigation involving a marriage, and as you interview people you realize it’s all people Phoenix knows, and then someone asks “who’s getting married, anyway?” And Edgeworth answers, extremely pissed that he had to do work on the day of his own wedding.
And the dialogue has clever jabs at his love life and everything and random jokes and hints, to the dismay of whoever is with Nick.
Ideally Phoenix would have a random new companion that happened to show up, or someone like Ahibi (heck even Kay Faraday, if for some reason she hadn’t been into contact with Edgeworth much recently)
And only after the case is solved, you get a picture where there’s Edgeworth in a white suit and someone standing next to him in partial shadows.
It’d be so funny and absurd, because I’m sure Phoenix wouldn’t comment at all about working on such a day, or do so in a way that confuses his companion.
Bonus if it’s the same reception venue with the two pegabulls

what if your doppelgänger wasn’t evil it was just a person. what if your doppelgänger wasn’t trying to replace you it was just trying to learn to be a person and you were the best model it had. what if your doppelgänger looked at you with your eyes and said with your voice that it just wanted to be loved. what then.
wanted to make this ever since i saw the update
I might as well join in as well lol
