Could the Ace Attorney fandom stop pretending that Phoenix Wright or Miles Edgeworth or any of the main cast is white? Idgaf if the localized version is set in America. Asian Americans exist. You are consuming a piece of Asian-made media, not everything is about white people

#I need y’all to stop thinking of white people as the default setting #The amount of people in this fandom that whitewashes Edgeworth is insane #Surprise Asians can wear clothes outside our native cultures #Asian characters shouldn’t have to act explicitly or stereotypically Asian for you to acknowledge their heritage #This applies to other pieces of media too #Asian characters can exist in a modern setting they can exist in a Western setting #Please get rid of your orientalist lens because we are literally just people #Ace attorney #miles edgeworth #phoenix wright #literally so done with how this fandom of an Asian game treats Asians
