![]() i love this game and i want to see myself in the things i like. I also just want to say that the fact that it was ambiguous/had nods to homosexuality made me really happy. To me, this was obviously intentionally ambiguous in a way that is a subtle nod to LGBT people without creating fury among homophobes and people who think that gay characters in video games isn't "kid-friendly" and the fact that some of you don't want to allow others to believe that is really disheartening. I don't want to bring even more drama into an already controversial topic, but for years and years us in the LGBT community are told that if we want representation we have to create our own, and then when we do we're told we're taking things too far, we're reaching, we're looking too deep into things and creating gay characters out of nowhere. ![]() It's also kind of gross that people think same-sex relationships are inherently sexual, or more sexual then opposite-sex ones. To say that a headcanon or pointing out that a relationship between two male characters might exist is "gaywashing" or "taking things too far" is, in my opinion, really ignorant. I think a lot of the arguments against Flick and CJ's relationship are really. Plus, what about all of the non-kid friendly dream addresses in NL? The horror towns with blood splatters, the bars and gambling clubs people made, the QR codes of all kinds of non kid-friendly stuff like. No one else complained about the probable pedophile in the game who is likely to cheat on his wife but god forbid we have two cute and harmless gay characters y'know. The fact he has A WHOLE WIFE AND CHILD and will still serenade about how beautiful a possibly 8 year old is. The fact he makes comments about there being more than one girl on the boat. Kapp'n creeps me out so much because of the way he flirts with characters. You are It's a fictional game yes but if you cant handle two characters being gay in a game where they LITERALLY NEVER COME INTO PHYSICAL CONTACT WITH EACH OTHER Then you clearly have no tolerance for it irl either jsdnkjsdfnkdsjfn I hate the "I'm not homophobic BUT." If you have to put a "but" before your clearly homophobic statement or even say that you AREN'T homophobic before making a statement honey. and, whether you like it or not, how you react to gay characters does reflect how you feel about real gay people, no matter how much you insist that you have "nothing against gay people irl tho!!". what I care about is the ugly way people are reacting towards the mere possibility that they might be gay, and what that says about how they feel about gay people. I mean, I don't even personally like Flick/CJ (not that I dislike them, either I just don't care). but no one thinks there's anything wrong with that. if you cared about things being child-friendly, you'd be concerned about smug villagers, or especially about Kapp'n, who is a much older character, flirting with the player when said player might be a very young child. and the "not child friendly" excuse really hurts. I mean, how can people say that there's really no romance in animal crossing? are they really that blind towards heterosexuality? romance is everywhere in animal crossing.
