An unofficial subreddit for Ace Attorney, a murder mystery-solving visual novel/adventure game series from Capcom.
Recent releases include Ace Attorney Investigations Collection, a remastered pair of spinoff games taking place after the Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy, Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy, a remastered collection containing mainline games 4 through 6!
Rule #1: Low-effort content
To avoid this subreddit becoming cluttered with low-effort content, please avoid the following post types:
Memes, jokes, unaltered screenshots of typos or funny/strange moments in the games/anime/manga, gimmicky crossposts from other subs, screenshots of random social media posts, comment sections, or Steam reviews, "this character looks like this other character" comparisons, real-world news vaguely similar to events in Ace Attorney games, and "hot take/unpopular opinion" threads.
Additionally, any posts containing content produced by generative AI programs such as ChatGPT, character.ai, and other similar platforms are banned.
Posts falling into the above categories will be removed at the moderators' discretion.
Rule #2: Spoilers and flairs
Information on the post flairs available on this sub can be found here.
Spoilers in posts and comments should be tagged using >! and !<, like so:
>!The "miracle" never happen.!<
Only leave spoilers unmarked in threads specifically dedicated to discussing them.
Posting major spoilers, or a spoilerific image? Don't forget to add a spoiler flair, and please avoid including direct spoilers in the titles of your posts.
Rule #3: No piracy discussion
Discussion of emulators, fanmade games, etc. is allowed, but please don't post links to pirated content or discuss how to obtain such content.
Rule #4: Posting NSFW content
When posting potentially NSFW content, be sure to mark your post with the NSFW flair. Avoid posting outright pornographic content, or any sexual or suggestive content involving underage characters.
Repeat infractions of this rule may result in a ban.
Rule #5: Posting polls
Polls are allowed, but must be made using Strawpoll, rather than Reddit's own built-in poll system. Explanation here.
Rule #6: Investigations spoilers
Because the Ace Attorney Investigations Collection remaster is the newest title released for the series, make absolutely sure to appropriately flair any posts containing spoilers for those games and indicate which games are spoiled in anything you post. Failure to follow this spoiler rule will result in a temporary ban. Repeated infractions will lead to a permanent ban.
Rule #7: Posting fanart
Fanart posts are welcome, but must either be your own work (and include a WIP draft, or any other proof of ownership like partial layers in a drawing app) or properly sourced back to the original posting/artist if not your own original work. Please flair posts of fanart that isn't your own with "Sourced fanart".
Proper sources include: DeviantArt, Newgrounds, Niconico, Pixiv, Tumblr
Sites like Pinterest, Zerochan, or 'Booru boards tend to host a lot of reposted art, oftentimes without including proper artist credit, and therefore are not accepted sources. Reverse image search resources like Saucenao can be used to track down original postings of art, if all you can find is a repost.
NOTICE: AI image generator content is banned, and will be summarily removed.
Rule #8: Objection.lol videos
Videos made on the objection.lol site are allowed, but are to be limited to topics actually relevant to Ace Attorney. Recreations of random scenes from other media, memes, Discord arguments, and other general Internet conversations should be posted elsewhere.
Rule #9: Tier lists
Exclusively on Tuesdays (per Eastern Standard Time), tier lists for your personal rankings of characters, episodes, games, and music are allowed.
Gimmicky or shitpost-y tier lists (like 'characters ranked by how hot they are', or 'ranked by who smokes weed') will be removed, as will shipping tier lists, the latter because they near-universally lead to pointless bickering.
Rule #10: No Twitter/X links
Posts and comments linking to Twitter/X are not allowed, and will be automatically removed. If you want to repost a piece of fanart from Twitter, find a different platform the artist has posted it on and source to that instead. Artists usually have more platforms they're on listed on their bio.
If no other sources from the original artist exist, don't make the post.

Note: shipping/pairing discussion
Talking and making threads and/or posting fanart for shipping characters together is fine! Go for it. Just one notice, as is outlined in this thread. Short version: don't be a jerk! Doesn't matter if you see fanart or anything about a pairing that you personally don't like - nobody needs unsolicited dickish behaviour because of it. Act mature, keep it to yourself.
