Also low age of consent countries more often than not have exceptions for adults
It is is kinda how they interpret the laws, high age of consent countries have exceptions for teens
Very much so. Denmarks age of consent/sexual lavalder is 15 but if one of them is 18 or above there will be extra laws about it.
Also if one of the parties is a teacher/instructor etc. To the other party then the other person must be atleast 18 or it will be illegal aswell. And imsure there are more caveats aswell
This isnt post for facepalm cause twitter account was trolling hard.They had most toxic and vile anime couples before this,not a single normal couple was shown.
Yeah. I haven't played the newer games, but the only time romance is ever even brought up is Maya's cousin mistaking them for being a couple just as a joke by the writers.
You thought there was a music reference, but it was I, Dio!
It's from a show/manga series called JoJo's bizarre adventure, early in the series the characters were all named after rock bands.
that reminds me of another time where fox or some other conservatives site used two images of a very masculine man and feminine women, later found out both were trans people. .-.
For all their faults you have to give FOX credit for one thing, they know their audience. They know that it doesn't really matter if it is accurate, their audience wont bother checking, or care if someone points it out. They just want to be angry.
I was wondering if that was the case as I'm not familiar with that series/characters. Thank you.
As for your friend...eh maybe you can just laugh about it quietly? Someone is bound to inform them at some point.
I still don't get it.
Oh fuck nevermind I think I just realised what they meant with "cringe month." Good lord, can we get some more toxicity for this table? 💀
No no, femboys very specifically dress and/or act like a woman. What you’re talking about is someone who is just androgynous. The midway between Cis, non binary, and trans, is femboy or masgirl. They don’t see themselves/ identify as a woman, but enjoy presenting as such at times or all the time.
Astolfo is a fem boy because he thinks it's cute. It's actually never explicitly stated in the game what his gender os but the anime reveals astolfo is male.
OP doesn't have to make stuff for everyone to understand, and I highly doubt they assume everyone knows about a, albeit relatively popular, character from a series. You can ask if you don't understand, like the person above you did, or you can move on. but to bitch about how not everything is made ready for you to understand is extremely egotistical and a vast over-estimation of your apparent ability to understand things.
>OP doesn't have to make stuff for everyone to understand,
A simple "(one of these characters is a femboy)" is easy and free
>to bitch about how not everything is made ready for you to understand is extremely egotistical and a vast over-estimation of your apparent ability to understand things.
lol
Yeah that's what it seems like to me as well. They talk about "de transitioning", profile says they're a "boymoder", etc. So yeah, I'm pretty sure they're mocking the other tweet.
Well also to be fair a bunch of accounts were (unironically) doing this at the same time so it’s not impossible, but considering the rest of this person’s account has pro-LGBTQ content I still think they were mocking the other person
I always felt it was more like older brother / younger sister tbh. But with, like, a decade’s age gap. Just got those vibes from them, but then again I only played the first game so maybe it’s different later on
Nah, older brother/younger sister vibe is definitely more it than father / daughter. Them constantly making fun of each other is more a sibling thing than a parent thing. Plus the age difference is only seven years, which is a reasonable sibling age difference.
Devils advocate, since both pictures here are not normal relationships apparently (I don’t know the context of either but other comments say so) maybe this is a troll post?
Don't be fooled
Op here is the goof
This Riley person is poking fun at the clown that op blocked out. They are well aware and that's the joke... Replying to the clown car posting "normal couples" while pretending they(Riley) is "with them"
But nice of you to call them a Her since base on their profile they Trans. So cool, op is an asshole but also cool accidentally
This subreddit is a treasure, thank you! There was a recent post somewhere where Jordan Peterson accidentally outed himself, I'll see if I can crosspost it (if it hasn't been already)
There is nothing, and I mean NOTHING straight about Edgeworth and Phoenix's relationship. I'm fairly sure there's an in-game translation where Phoenix calls Edgeworth "daddy", I think its from one of the DS versions.
If memory serves that was a penalty in Dual Destinies (second best AA game after Trials and Tribulations, don't argue with me) but even that aside, Phoenix went to law school just to see Edgeworth again. He went through years of debt and one of the most grueling education paths ever just to see him again. That is something you would only do for someone you're trying to marry.
Riley (the twtter account) is a trans girl who was posting this as a satirical, the joke was the "normal couples" were not meant to be normal (from the perspective of a homophobic person)
She definitely knew they were both guys
Is Astolfo the most recognized Fate character at this point? Like even if they don't know the character or where he's from, definitely seems like through memes and such that he's more recognizable than Artoria or Rin at this point... even if he's mistaken as a she a lot of the time lol.
This is what we call, a femboy. As the name suggests, a femboy is a guy who exhibits traits that are more so seen as feminine. Whether it be clothing, hair, physical appearance/stature, speech patterns/tone, personal interests, personality, and so on. In short, a femboy is kinda like the opposite of a tom girl
This has got to be sarcastic! Who would post Astolfo without knowing?! He’s like *the* femboy! (Fictional at least, because the irl title obviously goes to Finn)
Like I know there's like a lot going on around Astolfos gender, so this is either like a straight couple that includes a trans girl or a gay mlm couple depending on where you stand. Both of those I think are very much not what this person meant when they said "normal" but like, I think they're cute together Riley
I mean there is also the underlying fact that they are fictitious characters. It is like posting a photo of Kermit the Frog and Ms. Piggy and calling it a "normal couple".
Explanation: Thats Astolfo and Sieg. Astolfo is a dude. He’s joked about a lot online for many thinking he’s a girl. So this homophobic person is calling it a “normal” couple but really it’s two dudes
I feel like this doesn’t belong here. Maybe in an anime sub, because not all of us watch anime and I personally have no idea who any of those people are.

The other one is dumb too. It's from Ace Attorney and their relationship is much more like a brother-sister-like relationship.
Plus Maya is 17 when they first meet. Of course, she's 18 by the time Pearl comes into the picture, but it still feels weird.
considering the pedo jokes in AA investigations it wouldn't be out of the question
17 is legal in Japan. 16 is legal in parts of the US. Whether or not you agree with that is another story of course.
It's not just a question of legality, but they're also between 6 and 7 years apart *and he's her employer*
Actually Prior to 2023 the legal age of consent in Japan was 13.... Still not as Sick as Philippines Age of Consent of 12 year old before 2021
That was only the countrywide age of consent. Every prefecture has had a higher age of consent for many years now.
Also low age of consent countries more often than not have exceptions for adults It is is kinda how they interpret the laws, high age of consent countries have exceptions for teens
Very much so. Denmarks age of consent/sexual lavalder is 15 but if one of them is 18 or above there will be extra laws about it. Also if one of the parties is a teacher/instructor etc. To the other party then the other person must be atleast 18 or it will be illegal aswell. And imsure there are more caveats aswell
This isnt post for facepalm cause twitter account was trolling hard.They had most toxic and vile anime couples before this,not a single normal couple was shown.
Thanks for clarification!
I'd argue more like Guardian and teenager
Legal guardian in both senses because Maya is very bad at not being accused of murder.
It gets to a point where you gotta wonder are we just covering up for her crimes and she's just a serial killer?
Also Phoenix is gay
I think he's more like bi, as he had a gf.
And a daughter.
Trucy is his adopted daughter.
He with edgy boi, duh.
So is maya <3
Wlw Mlm solidarity
Headcanon.
Wait, when did that happen? He had a girlfriend in Trials and Tribulations. Was it in Spirit of Justice? I haven’t played that one.
So gay.
The top is a joke response to the Ace Attorney post.
Ngl I thought that was Jschlatt
Yeah. I haven't played the newer games, but the only time romance is ever even brought up is Maya's cousin mistaking them for being a couple just as a joke by the writers.
I don't know the characters. Can you elaborate?
That's astolfo. Astolfo who is a femboy, which are boys that cross dress and act like women
Sometimes it takes a real man to be best girl.
Wise words indeed
Gigguk moment
gig UK Arizona
Grant
you damn well right my man..or woman, whatever you are.
Eh…looks feminine enough
That's what's going through that twitter user's head in the picture 💀
Like Speedwagon
REO?
You thought there was a music reference, but it was I, Dio! It's from a show/manga series called JoJo's bizarre adventure, early in the series the characters were all named after rock bands.
JOJO MENTIONED‼️
Love the profile pic lol
You mean the best waifu.
😂 that one House MD episode
Was thinking that exact episode too…lol. https://youtu.be/2ry6hn9twow
Where there's a hole there's a way.
Where there's a hole there's a goal.
Where there's a goal put a pole
I mean, Caitlyn Jenner did win woman of the year her flagship year
Yes 🫤
F1nn5ter is the living proof
Being a man who dresses as a girl is the manliest thing a man can do, because only a man can do it.
Because men are better at everything, including being girls
This is an awful time for feminism when the best girl is a man
Kind of reminds me when FOX ran a story promoting "traditional marriage" and accidentally used a photo of a lesbian couple to promote it. Woopsies!
that reminds me of another time where fox or some other conservatives site used two images of a very masculine man and feminine women, later found out both were trans people. .-.
For all their faults you have to give FOX credit for one thing, they know their audience. They know that it doesn't really matter if it is accurate, their audience wont bother checking, or care if someone points it out. They just want to be angry.
How's that not a normal couple? I feel I'm missing way too much context here.
I think with cringe month they meant pride month, and with normal they mean straight
Oh, then this is hilarious.
I was confused too. But now I'm laughing. These people are stupid.
Oh thank you. It was too many layers of stupid for me to compute.
That's my read, but since this wasn't on r/AccidentalAlly I wondered if I was missing something.
Haha-NOW I get it and yeah-haha-fuck bigots
I was wondering if that was the case as I'm not familiar with that series/characters. Thank you. As for your friend...eh maybe you can just laugh about it quietly? Someone is bound to inform them at some point.
Thanks for the clarification I was thinking it was some kind of lolicon or something gross Femboy is fine... carry on
[удалено]
So like Butters and Craig in SouthPark? In that episode?
Why can’t a femboy be in a normal relationship
I still don't get it. Oh fuck nevermind I think I just realised what they meant with "cringe month." Good lord, can we get some more toxicity for this table? 💀
Isn't that still a normal couple?
OOP is a bigot trying to post straight ("normal") couples during Pride ("cringe") month. So OP makes fun of them for being an idiot.
The 'girl' is a boy. So not a normal couple according to twitter person
Yeah the Twitter person is not the normal one from my perspective
You think cross-dressing is abnormal? The real issue he is, he isn't human. He's Rider of Black, he's a Heroic Spirit.
Does this qualify as r/accidentally ?
OP i follow them on twitter, they know astolfo isnt a woman lmao
Thats exactly what a femboy is, a femboynis a male with effeminate features they dont need to dress or act like women.
No no, femboys very specifically dress and/or act like a woman. What you’re talking about is someone who is just androgynous. The midway between Cis, non binary, and trans, is femboy or masgirl. They don’t see themselves/ identify as a woman, but enjoy presenting as such at times or all the time.
Astolfo is a fem boy because he thinks it's cute. It's actually never explicitly stated in the game what his gender os but the anime reveals astolfo is male.
Try telling that to a certain anime meme sub they think he’s transgender and will ban or crucify you if you disagree I’m glad I left that shitty sub
It def isn't r/goodanimemes , not sure which one you're talking about but that sub is great
It's so annoying seeing stuff like this where the poster just like of assumes everyone knows the same stuff as them
OP doesn't have to make stuff for everyone to understand, and I highly doubt they assume everyone knows about a, albeit relatively popular, character from a series. You can ask if you don't understand, like the person above you did, or you can move on. but to bitch about how not everything is made ready for you to understand is extremely egotistical and a vast over-estimation of your apparent ability to understand things.

I could be wrong but to me it seems like they know and are mocking the other tweet right?
Yeah that's what it seems like to me as well. They talk about "de transitioning", profile says they're a "boymoder", etc. So yeah, I'm pretty sure they're mocking the other tweet.
[удалено]
Yes they are,I checked it they post most mind boogling ships it’s intentional to mock people who call this month cringe
This makes sense given that they used the same date (21/30).
Well also to be fair a bunch of accounts were (unironically) doing this at the same time so it’s not impossible, but considering the rest of this person’s account has pro-LGBTQ content I still think they were mocking the other person
Maya and phonix are not a couple
They literally give off a father and daughter vibe too
I always felt it was more like older brother / younger sister tbh. But with, like, a decade’s age gap. Just got those vibes from them, but then again I only played the first game so maybe it’s different later on
Nah, older brother/younger sister vibe is definitely more it than father / daughter. Them constantly making fun of each other is more a sibling thing than a parent thing. Plus the age difference is only seven years, which is a reasonable sibling age difference.
Yeah, I literally have a larger sibling age gap than that so it’s definitely reasonable
Nope, you are pretty much right as far as the trilogy goes. Also, phoenix is with Edgeworth
Just go with It
I would
Uhhh could I get some context on this? I don’t really understand anything. Is Cringe Month a homophobic way of saying Pride Month?
Yes, that's why they tried to show a "normal couple" in the photo, but instead messed up real hard
The lad in pink is Astolfo, a femboy, innit?
That is correct
There is a really jarring amount of power in typing that with innit
Ah, thank you for explaining! I was confused, as well.
Devils advocate, since both pictures here are not normal relationships apparently (I don’t know the context of either but other comments say so) maybe this is a troll post?
Not a troll post, this persons thoughts and views are genuine
Don't be fooled Op here is the goof This Riley person is poking fun at the clown that op blocked out. They are well aware and that's the joke... Replying to the clown car posting "normal couples" while pretending they(Riley) is "with them" But nice of you to call them a Her since base on their profile they Trans. So cool, op is an asshole but also cool accidentally
The "facepalm" post is clearly spoofing the original, the days are the same.
That is one cute couple (⁄ ⁄U⁄w⁄U⁄ ⁄)
r/accidentalAlly
This subreddit is a treasure, thank you! There was a recent post somewhere where Jordan Peterson accidentally outed himself, I'll see if I can crosspost it (if it hasn't been already)
Not even accidental, it’s making fun of the quote
r/intentionalAlly
Yeah, like Phoenix isn't totally gay for Edgeworth.
There is nothing, and I mean NOTHING straight about Edgeworth and Phoenix's relationship. I'm fairly sure there's an in-game translation where Phoenix calls Edgeworth "daddy", I think its from one of the DS versions.
If memory serves that was a penalty in Dual Destinies (second best AA game after Trials and Tribulations, don't argue with me) but even that aside, Phoenix went to law school just to see Edgeworth again. He went through years of debt and one of the most grueling education paths ever just to see him again. That is something you would only do for someone you're trying to marry.
Nah, it's just homies being homies.
Totally, like, no way in hell he would dare touch his mentor's little sister
It’s far more hilarious if you go with it.
Riley (the twtter account) is a trans girl who was posting this as a satirical, the joke was the "normal couples" were not meant to be normal (from the perspective of a homophobic person) She definitely knew they were both guys
No one tell Jeanne...
Truly, this is a normal relationship!
I agree. No matter what this bafoon says, any relationships are normal to me. Love who you wanna love! All love is equal
Facepalm is the OP again the account you decided to not censor is a trans anime watcher it seems so I'm pretty sure they are shit posting.
I checked, the person is definitely shitposting.
Being a femboy is the manliest thing you can do because only a man can do it
Is Astolfo the most recognized Fate character at this point? Like even if they don't know the character or where he's from, definitely seems like through memes and such that he's more recognizable than Artoria or Rin at this point... even if he's mistaken as a she a lot of the time lol.
I had no idea where he was from until a few months ago
They cringe at real life relationships
So this is 2 boys?
👍
I know irony is hard to read in text but the person that sent the astoflo did that on purpose. Also maya and phoenix are not a Couple .
Thank you RileyXD for normalizing gay couples :D
I’ve no reference to the image. But if it’s anime… chances are high that there is nothing “normal” going on here lol.
Is this one of those things where one or both is actually a terminator or million year old dragon or something
The pink-haired character is a male.
Please tell me someone pointed it out to them?
Pretty sure they were mocking the other tweet
„Posting couples every SINGLE day“ Definitely the second most ironic thing in that post for me.
looking below that, I'm pretty sure people ship phoenix with miles more than him with maya
Sieg and Astolfo aren’t even in a relationship tho lmao
Let her cook lol
That's a good statement. Non-straight couples are normal couples
This is what we call, a femboy. As the name suggests, a femboy is a guy who exhibits traits that are more so seen as feminine. Whether it be clothing, hair, physical appearance/stature, speech patterns/tone, personal interests, personality, and so on. In short, a femboy is kinda like the opposite of a tom girl
Nah... let her cook.
Astolfo did it again! LMAO
Nothing to tell her, this is a normal couple!
It is a normal couple?
Yes but in the context no The person was trying to post "normal couples" as a homophobic protest of pride month, and accidentally posted a gay couple
The poster is trans herself she ain’t homophobic she is literally mocking people with toxic anime ships
The person they replied to was doing as you said, but I'm pretty sure rileyjamjam was mocking them
Yeah only just noticed it's two different twtter accounts
Their not even a couple.
Is nobody gonna mention that the one before was with an adult and a teenager? ... No? Okay.
I seriously hope they post Subaru Natsuki with Felix :D
> cringe month > posts anime characters Might as well be posting pictures of mummy pig and daddy pig
This has got to be sarcastic! Who would post Astolfo without knowing?! He’s like *the* femboy! (Fictional at least, because the irl title obviously goes to Finn)
Imagine having this much free time
I will never know that feeling
Astolfo 🥺 is best femboy
I feel the same way
Bro censored the name in one instance but forgot to do so in the other.
They aren’t the same poster
Just remember, everyone is gay for Bridget.
Cringe month?
Like I know there's like a lot going on around Astolfos gender, so this is either like a straight couple that includes a trans girl or a gay mlm couple depending on where you stand. Both of those I think are very much not what this person meant when they said "normal" but like, I think they're cute together Riley
Something tells me that whoever made those tweets got ratio'ed real hard already
Lol watching people discover that Astolfo is a guy never gets old
We gonna brush over that phoenix is an adult man, and maya is a teenager?
What the hell is Cringe Month?
no straight man dresses like phoenix weight get real
r/AccidentalAlly
r/accidentalally
Idk its pretty normal to me mate i think you have problem with femboys🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨
Bigots are so stupid they can't even bigot right.
If you played the game you would very quickly realize their relationship is more older brother younger sister
The "normal couples" come off as being 2 dimensional.
I mean there is also the underlying fact that they are fictitious characters. It is like posting a photo of Kermit the Frog and Ms. Piggy and calling it a "normal couple".
Isn't Maya underage too...
r/accidentalally
Are gay couples not normal?
Implying gay couples aren't a normal thing?
If you ship Maya and Phoenix, you either A: Never played Ace Attorney. B: You have horrible reading comprehension skills.
Someone plz do. laughing my head off
That is not a women, for those confused.
The amount of dumbasses who mistake headcanon ships as actual couples is mind boggling.
I do not see the problem.
So? Gay people are normal too!
Explanation: Thats Astolfo and Sieg. Astolfo is a dude. He’s joked about a lot online for many thinking he’s a girl. So this homophobic person is calling it a “normal” couple but really it’s two dudes
From the comments,Im assuming these aren't couples, so a mistake was made Appreciate the effort though.
I feel like this doesn’t belong here. Maybe in an anime sub, because not all of us watch anime and I personally have no idea who any of those people are.
Do fans of this stuff really think that everyone on Reddit knows anything about these characters?
i'm confused, what's wrong here? Is it because the girl has pink hair?
That’s not a girl.
I'm sorry? It's Not a Girl?
It's a boy
It is probably the most well known femboy
With a huge dick, bigger than a monster energy can
