No one forced you to pick up a copy of Bland Early 2010s Modern Military Shooter: Pentagon Propaganda Boogaloo edgeworth-shrug. You picked it up (ostensibly) knowing what it is and what it was going to include

It's like when I hear the name "Tom Clancy" come out of someone's mouth when they talk about what they like to read.

Thanks for the warning, Mr. Bloodthirsty Armchair Warrior Boomer. I'll stay well away from you.

Why use that image of edgeworth to make your point? That’s edgeworth standing on the right side of the courtroom, where he’s always wrong.

The whole point of the ace attorney games is if you are on the left, you are good and correct. If you are on the right, you are evil and wrong. And if you are in the center, you are either a hopelessly confused idiot, or evil.

type :shrug to look up emojis

took the one of the argumentative lawyerman

That's... a bit of a stretch to consider that using a shrugging emoji of an antagonist in a video game means my argument is inherently wrong?

I assume they were joking but it wasn't too clear.

That'd be like seriously saying anyone using Breaking Bad emojis cooks meth and sells it to high school kids and makes deals with neo-nazis.

I think the sidebar in the emoji comm is helpful to remember. It says "emojis are what they convey", so expecting everyone to know the direct reference to the video game (and by extension all other 2400 emojis) is a little much. You can use it that way or as a lil guy shrugging.

Gif reference aside, I don't really buy that if you're not joking, because that'd be like seriously saying anyone using Breaking Bad emojis cooks meth and sells it to high school kids and makes deals with neo-nazis.

No one forced them to tell their story in a way that robbed the moment of it's impact and made the player feel annoyed and hoodwinked instead of horrified.
