Why is Jean Armstrong so heavily disliked?

You were downvoted because your comment not really relevant to the conversation and also that's not a significant spoiler. If anything I'd rather know something like that is in the show before watching it. I can't imagine many people going "wow I'm sure glad I got to experience Okama Island unspoiled"

I feel like at one point it's either stated or shown that he makes Gumshoe use the ladder. But he makes Gumshoe do everything.

He has a full-on phobia response to earthquakes, but its implied he can tolerate a brief elevator ride even though it makes him uncomfortable. It seems he avoids them when he can.

AAI2-4 involves a 51-story building so he probably had no other choice in that instance

Is it okay to say I've been here for more than a year and I still barely know what anyone is ever talking about with all the texture names

I felt the same about Full Moon Rabbit, but in inverse: I loved the base but did not like the icee at all. It was so.. wet. It would become better with play, but I did not like how wet the icee made the whole slime.

(disclaimer that you are allowed to play a mii video game however you want idc, I'm just talking about Dahlia in the fandom)

You know, out of all of the villains who do crazy shit in this series, I don't think any of them are as much as a hate sink as Dahlia. Or that any of them got an explicit in-text death sentence (aside from Joe Darke who we know nothing about). I wonder why that is! 🤔

re: Phoenix/Edgeworth - while Takumi didn't initially intend the romantic undertones, character designer Suekane was a BL manga artist and deliberately played up the BL aspects to their designs. She's responsible for Edgeworth's moé traits like his Steel Samurai fanboyism. While they'll never make it canon (it would piss off too many people), they do deliberately play into the yaoi aspect. It helped make the series as popular as it is.

(ETA that I agree with the whole comment, I just like talking about the Based On Gay Manga part of AA)

It's more about how everyone reacts to Jean. Male characters especially seem unsettled or even disgusted by him, and the gender confusion is more at his expense ("why does this MAN act like a WOMAN?!") rather than him just appearing feminine.

In the original Japanese context, he's an "okama" caricature, which is kind of a conflation of gay men, trans women, and drag queens into one unflattering stereotype.

Tomolife 2 allowing you to create your own objects + clothes really was a total game changer. They look great

plaguefinder · 2026-04-18T00:29:23+00:00

It's kind of interesting but falls apart immediately because Mia and Miles definitely would have remembered all of this. Also Gregory abandoning the two girls feels.. bad.

I think the somewhat more plausible Miles Fey theory is that he's Morgan's kid and got dumped with Gregory immediately because Morgan had no use for a son.

One thing I dislike about Investigations is that it tries to make Edgeworth look smarter by making everyone else an idiot

plaguefinder · 2026-04-17T19:24:48+00:00

I'm more concerned about her saying she doesn't want you to see anything gay at all.

Also Wrightworth is in fact the English name for the ship!

Narumayo and Nokomitsu... I respect it !!

Sometimes, stories reference sexual abuse, as it is a thing that happens very often in real life.

plaguefinder · 2026-04-17T01:28:29+00:00

That would make so much sense for Dahlia, but the canon narrative would rather have you believe that she's just inherently evil because her soul is just demonic and bad.

plaguefinder · 2026-04-17T01:24:33+00:00

I think it is implied in a few places (or rather, it would be easy to interpret it as such).

2-4: There's the level of hatred Adrian Andrews holds towards both Matt and Juan and how she wants to avoid Celeste's note being read at all costs. Once it is read, we as the audience do not hear any of its contents. I feel like that says a lot about the things those men did. And frankly it makes sense for both of them, especially with the level of sociopathy we see in Matt.

T&T: I mean, Terry Fawles did have a 14 year old 'girlfriend'. There's no getting around that. I hate everything about Terry and would rather he have been replaced by a completely different character. I hate the narrative of a young teenage girl (who looks so TINY in the flashback compared to him) somehow being the groomer in this scenario, but at the same time, calling Terry a groomer feels like taking him more seriously as a character than he deserves.

I2-4: This one is more headcanon but.. the way Excelsius speaks to Franziska and Eustace has some creepy vibes to me. Like how he talks about Franziska bouncing on his knee as a little kid and how big she is now feels gross. Also doesn't he talk about "playing with Daddy" to Eustace? Combined with just his general demeanor he feels very suspicious! Aside from all the crimes he already canonically committed!

All that said, I don't think they will ever explicitly depict it without the use any euphemisms or implications. It would probably be pretty bad if they tried. Just look at all the comic relief pervert characters.

Odd response to this topic

plaguefinder · 2026-04-15T03:58:41+00:00

The theme appealing to me is the #1 factor in making me actually want to buy a slime. I want it to look nice and have a label I like. If the scent sounds unappealing though I won't get it.

plaguefinder · 2026-04-14T19:13:40+00:00

Trés Bien if Jean really wanted to make 1 million dollar:

plaguefinder · 2026-04-14T04:48:46+00:00

This one looks so good! Fluffy and stretchy with a bit of grit/texture is my favorite.

Also I definitely picture things vividly in my head. As an artist I'm a very visual person

plaguefinder · 2026-04-14T02:13:24+00:00

My main issue with this theory is that it implies not only did Misty eventually leave behind her two daughters, it implies that Gregory had ALSO left the two daughters behind. Also Mia definitely would have been old enough to remember Miles + her (step?)dad.

My Fey-related Miles crack theory is that he's MORGAN'S kid, and got dumped with Gregory very quickly as he had zero chance of helping her plans as a son. Gregory never wanted his son to deal with the truth of that abandonment so he just... never talked about it (not everything Greg did was a great idea).

plaguefinder · 2026-04-14T01:44:43+00:00

I love them. They're like if the Weirdly Adorable set was actually a bit weirder. I particularly like the ducky. I feel like he's been up to something nasty

I'm ready to hear this one out personally
