You left out the wiggling penis controversy. The parents of early American adopters of the first game would often write letters to Nintendo about the gyroid assistant next to the players houses.

[@rayhiros]

​@@natb53 There is literally no controversy there. The zone dance became a meme not a controversy. Meme does not equal controversy. All data about minus8 are irrelevant and don't provide or take away from the fact that the dance became a meme. And that is the fact. And accusing of someone who is in therapy for the reason he is in therapy is really a low blow, which AGAIN does not add anything to the discussion except extra rage bait.

The PETA one is not a real controversy. They made a ragebait video to get people talking about animal rights in a way that would provoke everyone to complain about PETA instead, because PETA needs PR training. But if you opened up their article they posted with the video, they actually say they love Animal Crossing for teaching kids to show empathy and kindness towards animals and to treat them with the same rights as they afford themselves. Something like that. They did this same ragebait style thing with Pokemon too and the fact that the only thing anyone can remember is that "PETA got mad about a video game" is just proof that PETA sucks at marketing. But yeah, PETA was never actually against the game or anything.

[@psychotophatcat]

Didn't PETA make a game about Pokémon being abused and enslaved? Am I remembering incorrectly?

[@ricetotherescue]

@psychotophatcat Yeah, they also made one about Cooking Mama and several others. It's just a publicity stunt. I think the only issue they actually had with Pokémon was when they had a deal with McDonalds with the happy meal toys (although tbf, they probably should have gone after _McDonalds_ for that). But anyway they're just using the Pokémon imagery because kids already care about their Pokémon and so PETA is trying to leverage that to get kids to think about real life animals too.

[@robinofhsr]

[@KittyCatKayden]

I've never been scammed in ACNH, but I think I came up with a way to solve the problem of getting scammed... kinda. When the message saying it's time to go home appears, hold the HOME button and go into sleep mode, and then your switch will lose the connection and revert to the last time the game saved. If it didn't autosave after you gave away your Nook Mile Tickets or whatever it cost, you will get your NMTs/whatever it costed back, but you won't get the villager or other item that you exchanged your NMTs/other items for.

scamming is so crazy for such a cutesy game that treasure islands are actually trustworthy especially if you don’t have time to waste to villager hunt. Also if you want to make a cool dream island that other people can visit it definitely comes in handy and helps you find the things you need to decorate your island better

[@rileysunderland1904]

I haven’t played ACNH in over a year because my joycons need replaced but when I did I used treasure islands often to supply myself with tickets for my big villager hunts. I think I might’ve used it once to get a villager I really wanted. But all the ones I used were pretty reasonable prices. So if you have the money to spare, then I say go for it.

[@KestrelDC]

TBF to Catty, it’s a game from a Japanese company so a very American racist image probably wasn’t particularly on their radar, especially back then when the resources for catching such things were more limited. Seems kinda like a Jynx situation, in which the Pokémon is actually based on Yama Uba, a yokai commonly depicted with dark skin, white or blonde hair, and a red kimono and is popularly portrayed in Japanese theatre and the actors’ makeup can easily be mistaken for blackface to someone unfamiliar. I think that villager is a similar deal. Since she’s unused, though, it seems they did catch the cultural issue and act on it, further showing no intent to be offensive. And while he obviously doesn’t speak for all black people, a friend of mine who is black found the hair thing just completely stupid because… it’s a kid’s Animal Crossing character in a cute hairstyle…

[@chocomelo454]

Holy cannoli, itis you i remember you from the twitters!!

[@CityLights-v6u]

I think it's often that there's a sort of fashion movement in Japan (a sort of "going against beauty standards" one, with tanned skin, lots of makeup, big lips and stuff) and when it gets referenced in cartoons because in Japan it's literally just a fashion statement against harsh Japanese beauty standards, to us westerners it's something _very_ different.

I think the issue with the Ankha stuff is less that she's a cat & more that the animator credited to it is like. notably a creep from what i understand. like nsfw of underage characters with Ankha she passes the harkness test (adult, able to verbally communicate clear consent, willing) but the animator and the POSTING PORN TO TIKTOK FOR CHILDREN TO SEE is where the main issue lies imo. for "its a cat", we can maybe rebuild, for the, again POSTING IT FOR KIDS TO SEE it's the worst one

They buried things in the shape of the swast*, replaced all my custom designs with SS uniforms. 4 of them came to my island and pressured me into giving them best friend privileges. I know it was stupid. Lol. My story wentviral on fb and Twitter when someone reposted it and like 100 people helped me out to rebuild

OH MY GOD THATS AWFUL

It was crazy back in 2016. I managed to get my hands on the San Rio Amiibo cards and then the day they were released again. I ended up finding them at my local targets, even though it was like you said, but when I talk to the person at the store, they just said they had a whole bunch left over even though it was literally the minute they opened up also I’ve had some scammers before with villagers and whenever I saw the message that it’s time to go home I always crashed the Wi-Fi on purpose so that way they wouldn’t get what I had paid for that villager like for example I went to get Ankha and I paid 100 nook Miles tickets which I didn’t really care at the time soon as I dropped everything they tried to kick me out and I immediately canceled and I got all my tickets back then they messaged me why I didn’t get the villager, but then I told him you were trying to scam me so I knew the minute that happened

I’m pretty certain the star tree controversy was also that if someone tried to take a star tree (specifically the tree, not the stars on them) it kind of lowkey corrupted their file? The community was already self regulating before Nintendo pulled the ban hammer on it but it makes more sense when you consider that the existence of something in the game can seriously damage your system if you’re not careful.

[@christinec4019]

There was also a similar controversy to the Catty thing with a villager named Jane who was based off of a researcher of apes/monkeys… yeah they changed her design…

[@JawesomeJenna]

I got the amibo cards on the shelves at target which was fire. I think they released for a long time before I actually bought them tho

[@goldenbacon1572]

I got New Leaf because of the Animal Crossing hype when New Horizons was releasing and like being sorta on the outskirts of the fandom the drama and scamming and stuff is crazy to hear about 😭 like damn I’m rlly living in my own world

[@cherrygor3]

I love baabara so much, she's one of my favorite villagers and I hate that she got a bad reputation from someone being stupid :((

Not my joke, but controhershy 🍫🍫🍫

Oh god…. I remember that stupid tweet of the space buns. I remember commenting on it how people getting mad over is fucking ridiculous. Like it’s just fucking hair people can wear hairstyles how ever they want without someone being a little bitch about it.

[@epiccaliegal7084]

I remember a big controversy in the early time of new horizons was time skipping, either for building your island or villagers moving. People would get into debates and arguments if time skipping was "cheating" and an "authentic way" to play the game

[@WizardEli420]

good video but the twitter sound effects were loud

[@Crumbly69]

The “space buns” controversy was hella stupid. But looking back it’s actually hilarious how mad people got about it.

[@Squiddyyy]

That space buns controversy was so lame and unnecessary. People actually harassed that person as well. Other ethnicities can have puffy hair….

[@katgrif8397]

It always makes me laugh that I just went to target and asked someone if I could get 2 packs and they just gave them to me

[@annadolan4821]

Why is nobody acknowledging it’s crazy to say acpc is pay to play when it’s free when every other ac game you actually have to pay not just the game the device too

[@HidingMonkeyCatNinja]

you just HAD to be on animal crossing twitter between 2020-2021. it’s was such a wild time. there was drama every single day and controversies bigger than you could believe. the manilla clam fiasco, the space buns, illegal villager trades, and even a prominent figure in the scene who made a fake account sending hate messages and threatening to dox themselves. simpler times. I’m so glad I got away from it

[@silvercloudsone]

Another issue with the target Amiibo cards is that a lot of employees put them on the shelf anyways and didn’t uphold the limit. So people showing up to the stores and resellers just ended up selling them out and the people who thought they successfully got them for pickup earlier that morning were then being told it was canceled because the pickup employees went to grab their orders and since they were on the shelf and sold, they ended up not being there for the pickup orders. Which is absolute bullshit considering the fact they weren’t even meant to be in store and the pickup people bought them first.

[@Itzrenaynay]

The ankha video was not just DANCING it was full on an adult video… it goes to the top

[@elecrom_9757]

I remember the Sanrio amiibo cards controversy was so big that people made tuturials about how to use NFC cards to make ones for free were shared extremely openly^^

[@_Billzebub_]

My biggest flex is having Raymond show up at my campsite and kicking out a villager I already hated to get him

[@totallytravicious]

they BOUGHT a SIXTY DOLLAR game to PROTEST in, WITHIN THE REALM of the game? What sense does that make? Sounds like an excuse to play it without feeling guilty for betraying theyre pretty admittedly weirdly directed ideals.

[@AnAverageGoblin]

Just feel like I should point out that PETA are hypocrites that don't have a good track record with helping animals and basically just do everything for attention.
