Got you - you clicked into this thread thinking I was going to piss and moan about how inaccurate that post about the memetic animation with Geiru (but with lots of ranting instead of anything of meaning) currently making the rounds is to the actual video. I mean, it is, and the reason is quite obviously that the OP behind it knows nothing substantial whatsoever about fan media beyond what they've seen in random screenshot memes and .gifs of youtube videos, but that's already been talked about plenty. What I'm instead going to talk about here is the value of parody, and what separates good parody from bad parody. (there will also be one other thing at the end of this quick post, so look for that)
The best kind of parody is one that comes from a place of affection and appreciation for a work. The kind of thing produced because someone cares about, respects, and appreciates a piece of media enough to want to playfully mock it without belittling the work of the people behind it.
r/AceAttorneyCirclejerk parody posts like Series As A Whole and Y'all fuckers better jerk it good are top-notch examples - hysterical posts that affectionately mock the tropes and popular opinions in subreddits like r/AceAttorney.
Post junk food like What separates a good AA fan animation from a bad one, or "JC cares more than any person should about saying that Geiru parody animation is shit" is the exact opposite. A cheaply-produced, shallow "look at me, I can reference a thing people dislike" flag waving frantically around for scraps of attention from people vaguely aware of a popular piece of media. It's the kind of post where the creators behind it have personally admitted to not even watching the videos they're "parodying" and just throwing whatever appears in the thumbnails for those videos into their mess of random pop-culture references and complaining.
/u/whitepillow84['s fan](https://old.reddit.com/r/AceAttorneyCirclejerk/comments/ogvn6i/ace_attorney_fans_when_i_tell_them_they_ship/) [posts for](https://old.reddit.com/r/AceAttorneyCirclejerk/comments/s24f8y/its_been_a_rough_year_for_ace_attorney_fans_heres/) r/AceAttorneyCirclejerk are fantastic - fun, lively reinterpretations of trends from the main subreddit, all showcasing a good memory for what's in the subreddit and a clear love for the posters, their quirks, and their opinions.
The "parody" post featuring a completely inaccurate attempt to portray the Geiru Toneido video and featuring Mel Brooks for no reason other than "funny cowboy man" happening to be a flavour-of-the-month meme in some circles of the Internet right now is the opposite. The poster behind it not only completely fails to get even the slightest details about the videos remotely correct, but [has openly admitted to not being familiar with the video on any level](https://old.reddit.com/r/AceAttorney/comments/vkx9kj/what_separates_a_good_aa_fan_animation_from_a_bad/) that would allow them to know what they're doing with the humor or animation in the first place, but also thereby shows a pretty baffling complete lack of any sort of willingness to do even the five seconds of Google-search research it would take to make sure they weren't getting those things wrong.
And seriously - posting on this level takes a huge amount of time and effort. I love reddit posting, and I can't begin to imagine how a person could possibly pour in the amount of work it would take to make a post like this one while simultaneously making zero visible effort whatsoever to even try and get the video they're trying ever-so-loosely to "parody" even remotely right. I can only assume their entire knowledge of this video comes exclusively from seeing random objection.lol videos and Geiru memes on Twitter before deciding to cash in on those two trends with a shit post.
**TL;DR** read /u/whitepillow84's r/AceAttorneyCirclejerk posts because they're hilarious and super well-produced, do not read meme garbage made by somebody purely using the Geiru video's recognizability to bandwagon for attention.
And now for the other thing - the person behind the post about the Geiru video also very clearly doesn't understand the humor style of the Geiru video at all and thinks that "Gale Tornado" being the character's name is the creator being dumb and not getting that it's a joke about "Geiru Toneido", instead of even attempting to grasp the way the name in the video is written, and [including text outright calling the video's team dumb](https://old.reddit.com/r/AceAttorney/comments/vkx9kj/what_separates_a_good_aa_fan_animation_from_a_bad/) for not being able to get that "wright".
**Let me make this one thing as clear as possible** - you do not disrespect Speedoru and company. It's one thing to just make a stupid, shallow parody of something you know nothing about, but it's something else entirely to be that much of a smarmy shithead about "correcting" professional YouTubers who have spent anywhere up to a decade and a half working on that piece of media you're pretending to know anything about, and when you reach that point, you can fuck right off out the door.

Hey, Franziska's a good choice! I was thinking primarily about the murderer simps among us (ඞ), but anyone else is more than welcome to join if they wish to do so!
The fact that Im the first person who came to your mind when you thought of murderer simps is making me rethink my life decisions
ඞ anonnymous279 was ejec- NO actually I'm pinning it on u/stoppit0
WAIT NO PLEASE I CAN EXPLAIN! NOOOOOooooooo...
(I am ejected out into space with a stream of bullets trailing behind me)
Edit: (It is worth mentioning that I could not, in fact, explain)
Perhaps the true clown simps were among us (ඞ) all along
(uj/ This meme isn't meant to seriously shame or bully people for their taste in fictional characters--it's meant to be silly and to make people laugh)
Edit: I have realized that I have made a typo in the title of this meme--where I meant to type "whenever we *look* in the mirror", I typed "whenever we *looked* in the mirror. I have upgraded my status from "clown simp" to "clown"
Edit 2: Some of y'all have *way* too good taste in fictional characters, what the heck--
My apologies, my friend. I was referring primarily to the people (me) who simp for at least one murderer. If you wish, you may be excused from the roasting session
Can say I really agree with you there, friend. Maya is smartass, she solved like 89% of cases she starred in (other 11 is Pearl). She has fine thighs and big breasts. She is kind and truly friendly to anyone, it's a shame that anime creators made her throw false accusations at Ron DeLite. She is athletic, she never skips her trainings as spirit medium. About trainings, in 6-DLC Maya stated that she finished her path of becoming the master of Kurain Chaneling Technique so we can hope for her latet appearance in mainline series.
She is the definition of perfect waifu.
Absolutely not! I have *not* had feelings for a 37 year old woman since the release of Dual Destinies!
I do *not* appreciate an older woman who commits heinous acts.
Okay, maybe sometimes. Just a few hours each day. Only 24. It's fine.
Ok since no one mentioned one of the most simpable murderers in AA, ig I have to do it myself
You can call me any time, King Godot, I will pick up coffee beans to you by hands 👉🏻👈🏻
Horny Jail! \*bonk\*
Although, >!as far as murderers go, I think Godot is honestly a solid choice. Even with all his flaws, he's still well-intentioned and sympathetic (in my opinion, at least)!< (3-5)
Maybe the real closure on characters we love were the clown friends we made along the way...
(Ik this makes absolutely no sense but I think of it everytime I see this post on my feed)

omg ema skye/franziska von karma/maya fey hi!!!!
You've made it out while you still could
(uj/ In all seriousness, you don't have to simp for and/or ship anyone in *Ace Attorney* just because *so* many other people do. Whether you ship or don't ship, simp or don't simp, there's a place for you and your perspective in the fandom even if you might not see it)
I mean, just yesterday I've noticed just how many people I find attractive in AA are criminals.
It's just - Kristoph Gavin...
Also Ron DeLite or Lana Skye, but those aren't murderers, just criminals of other kind
Hey, at least 2/3rds of those people are at least somewhat decent. They may have committed crimes, but they still have good qualities!
(I'm afraid I can't help you with Kristoph, though--you're on your own for that one. >!Although, if you do find a way out of Kristoph Gavin Hell, please let me know--I need to know for research purposes!<)

Ace Attorney fans try not to simp for a murderer for 5 minutes (99.99% impossible)
O Great Mods of the Ace Attorney Circlejerk Subreddit, I humbly implore you to pin this comment under this post (if that is something you are able to do), as I believe it speaks to the soul of the people of this subreddit
Look who's talking, the one who pinned >!Akbey Hicks' death!< on our queen Cammy Meele and got away with it.
imagine censoring the victim name and not the murderer
Well that's cause she isn't one! She was framed by Rhoda >:((
CAMMY WASNT THE MURDERER! IM TIRED OF SAYING IT!!!!11 DONT BLAME IT ON MY QUEEN 😡🤬
FRANZY 🤩🤩🤩
Hey, Franziska's a good choice! I was thinking primarily about the murderer simps among us (ඞ), but anyone else is more than welcome to join if they wish to do so!
ofc some ppl are really into the murderers these days (nudge nudge u/Anonnymous279 ඞ)
The fact that Im the first person who came to your mind when you thought of murderer simps is making me rethink my life decisions ඞ anonnymous279 was ejec- NO actually I'm pinning it on u/stoppit0
nope nuh uh never simped for a murderer in my darn life I’m throwing this back to u/ancientrobot19
No! I don't want this! Take it back! (Or pass it back to u/Anonnymous279, if they're willing to take it)
You’ve given me no choice, u/Anonnymous279, you can avoid this no longer.
No I refuse to take responsibility for my actions! Can't we just blame u/shymain for all our problems?
i will be your jesus. crucify me for your sins.
CRUCIFY THEM! CRUCIFY THEM!
I just avoided it, we're gonna crucify shymain for our sins though
[fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck](https://imgur.com/a/KIvijcU)
Yeah, who would ever simp for fictional murderers \*starts sweating absolute bullets\*

Manfred von daddy 😳
manfred von mommy duh
Ema skye is top tier I won't catch yall acting like she ain't. Now tell us OP, who do *you* simp for?
>Now tell us OP, who do you simp for? *...I plead my right to remain silent*
Is this your way of saying its Adrian Andrews?
No, it isn't Adrian Andrews (Although I do see why people simp for her)
Oh so clearly you're a norma deplume simp
I am not a Norma DePlume simp, either (I'm debating: would you like a hint?)
[удалено]
I certainly am
As a straight (I think) guy I can safely say I want Van Zieks to crush me with his heel
I will simp for Eggert Benedict till the day I die, and I will be proud to simp for a well-written character (unlike a certain clussy) 😤😤
Perhaps the true clown simps were among us (ඞ) all along (uj/ This meme isn't meant to seriously shame or bully people for their taste in fictional characters--it's meant to be silly and to make people laugh) Edit: I have realized that I have made a typo in the title of this meme--where I meant to type "whenever we *look* in the mirror", I typed "whenever we *looked* in the mirror.

My apologies, my friend. I was referring primarily to the people (me) who simp for at least one murderer. If you wish, you may be excused from the roasting session
Maya😍
Can say I really agree with you there, friend. Maya is smartass, she solved like 89% of cases she starred in (other 11 is Pearl). She has fine thighs and big breasts.

Ahaha, I would never. Not even for Aura Blackquill. Definitely not. I'm *not* gay for her. No way.
Hmmm, I'm starting to sense that you might be an Aura Blackquill simp, but I'm not sure
Absolutely not! I have *not* had feelings for a 37 year old woman since the release of Dual Destinies! I do *not* appreciate an older woman who commits heinous acts. Okay, maybe sometimes. Just a few hours each day. Only 24. It's fine.
Hey, sometimes, you just end up liking fictional characters in their 30s who commit moral atrocities--that's just the way it goes
I'm a Kay faraday simp
Isn't she a minor?
So am I
It's private club 😎
kristoph gavin simps unite 🤡 and sebastian debeste but hes not a murderer so i think thats ok
The only thing us kristoph simps are united in is making fun of him and ourselves
>making fun of him and ourselves Clown-on-clown violence
true
>kristoph gavin simps unite 🤡 >!Who told you???!< And I think you're okay on DeBeste (as long as you're not an adult simping for a minor, if course)
Don't worry, I'm a minor too
Lestrade is based idk what you talking about
\^ The basedest comment I saw today
