Not!Secret 1

What? Since when was that pairing hated on? Doesn't it constitute like 99.9% of the fucking fandom?

Unless you're talking about the 'lololol why can't they be friends you faggots' thing. It's been done for the het side too. Quit bawing and go enjoy the thousands of artwork/fanfic for them.

Well, my impression is that while there are a lot of Phoenix/Edgeworth fangirls, there's been sort of a backlash against it, such that the fandom opinion is now "anyone who likes Phoenix/Edgeworth is an idiotic yaoi fangirl and all the sane, cool people 'ship alternative pairings." Which isn't to say there aren't still a lot of fanworks for it, just that there's a certain "brainless fangirl" stigma attached to it.

Then again, I'm not deeply into the PW fandom, so you can take all that with a grain of salt.

Yeah, pretty much.

Which is stupid as BALLS because a bunch of the people I know who ship P/E aren't by any means "yaoi fangirls." Really, the game itself argued it for me >_>

(and it's still better than certain other relationships they could be in *cough* IMO, anyway)

I've seen that rule of thumb applied to nearly all the pairings of PW. Common examples being that a Phoenix/Maya supporter is a yaoi-hating obligatory hero/heroine shipper, Fran/Edgeworth supporter is a yaoi-hating ignoring-familial-bonds het shipper, Fran/Adrian is a jump-at-yuri shipper, etcetera etcetera. I'd swear the only one to not get that kind of reply is Gumshoe/Maggey because it doesn't interfere with any huge ships/is pretty much canon.

So it's just stronger with Phoenix/Edgeworth because it's prominent? I always got the feeling that P/E supporters were supposed to be the 'cool sane' ones of the fandom. How fandom changes.

Yeah, I guess so. Though I don't pretend to actually understand fandom, in general -- it's a pretty crazy place.
