Yes!! This is exactly how I felt. I'm more of an Apollo fan than an Athena one and I still thought her treatment was awful in SoJ - the sidelining is one thing, annoying but there wasn't much room given the number of people they tried to fit in (but was pretty bad in the last case especially). But the way Simon treated her was horrible - I think it was supposed to be protective(?) but it came off as patronising and sexist. Which was especially bad since they didn't give her many moments where she proved herself, nor did he adequately admit he was wrong about her at the end. I dunno, it really did away with any faith that she'll ever be written anywhere near as well as in DD, even with Apollo out of the picture and more screen time on the table :(

Being an Athena fan pretty much goes hand in hand with being an SJW anyway IME, so you probably won't have much to lose by not keeping your secret a secret.

the game in general treated female characters very poorly imo. other than trucy, pretty much every important female character was either a fanservice-y trope or their character revolved around being a weak woman. it was strange.

Athena was definitely cheated, but at the same time, Apollo got the storyline and development that he's been desperately needing since AA4. In an ideal world for me, Athena would have gotten Nick's screentime instead, since having him as a playable character clearly doesn't work any more - I don't buy that at 36, 12 years after his first case, he's still so easily flustered in a courtroom. Keep him around as a mentor, but his internal thoughts make no sense any more.

Though, I loved 6-4. Even without an investigation, it was still a fun case to put together, and Uendo is absolutely one of my favourite one-case characters. Seeing Nahyuta getting so flustered after being shut down by the Judge, that was awesome.

I'm not sure where you saw her being humiliated, though? Nahyuta was being horrible to her, but the way that she bounced back showed more maturity than Nick did in half of his cases (and can we talk about the double desk slam when she got really angry?). Don't forget, it's only her third case where she's in the lead defence role (counting stepping in for Apollo in 5-1 for 30mins), and the second time she's gone in without co-counsel, so she's a lot less experienced at this stage than Apollo was at the point of 4-4.

I think Athena is majorly annoying and wouldn't have been sad if she'd been written out entirely.
