Get your Biden-Harris Animal Crossing Signs
- Thread starter BoboBrazil
- Start date
Eeeeh, people on Twitter saying this is the new "Pokemon Go to the polls" but that one still is the cringe king.
To all the people saying Biden isn't perfect, you are right and he deserves to have his feet held to the fire. Now is not the time to do that. Do that day one after he takes office. Bringing up his flaws and encouraging people to not vote or vote third party, intentional or not, isn't helpful.
What? Where anywhere in this thread am I suggesting that's a problem?
Because some people don't like Biden/Harris (even if they're still voting for them to get Trump out) and don't feel like championing them in their fun island getaway game?
I just think games (particularly purely chill/escapist games like AC) should be an escape from the real world, not a reminder of it. Feel like the last place politics or elections should be is Animal Crossing
Good takes.
Shocked that people see this don't understand this is literally the same as me going to twitter and uploading a qr code of a sunflower I drew. This had and requires no blessing from Nintendo.
Then you want games without user generated content.
For the record I'm going to put it in my AC yard. Because it's cute and whatever.
I am just not sure why people are afraid (Maybe too strong of a word) of the possibility of seeing a campaign sign in the game on some other person's island.
Isn't there an issue that they could be reported and suspended?
Literally what I'm saying? I was responding to somebody questioning others not getting it.
How do I make it a sign like in their screenshots? I can only make it a painting which looks kind of odd.
I don't know how you could possibly get from my post that I object to *all user-generated content*, I simply object to US politics being in a game like Animal Crossing. I don't think it shouldn't be allowed, I just personally don't like it and won't be making use of it. Per my original post, I play AC to escape from the real world, not be reminded of it.
Feel free to disagree, as long as you're not putting words in my mouth, or making blanket generalizations that I do not agree with.
Nah, I have faith that this kinda stuff won't invade the games I play, but just saying if it does, I can move on to something else.
There's a craftable recipe for wood signs, I don't know if it's standard or an RNG drop.
Everyone thinks dumb shit. You would think that apologizing wouldn't be such a big thing, but we're in 2020 and genuine apologies are hard to come by, especially from politicians.
There are no perfect politicians because there are no perfect people. As I said, we're voting for a competent bureaucrat, not a savior. Biden easily passes that test.
Generally Nintendo allows people to do what they will with their creation products as long as they aren't inappropriate for public viewing (lewd or unsafe imagery), selling the assets for direct personal gain (in-game materials) or using it for illegal activities (child abuse/grooming).
Dozens of companies have been using Animal Crossing NH for free viral advertisement at this point, nothing's stopped them.
I dislike Biden and Harris and you'd have to put a gun to my head to have campaign art on my island (especially because I'm not even in the US) but this "no politics in mah games" mentality is silly. Politics are everywhere in media, not least in a game that is literally about people expressing themselves.
Does Nintendo not actually check on what the content was and just suspends people willy nilly?
what are you talking about, this game with sow joan's stalk market is completely apolitical /s
It is cute and if I still played I'd probably get a yard sign. Otherwise I like it. Didn't anyone play burnout paradise online in 2008? It's something that doesn't affect you at all. I go on YouTube, I close out the trump banner on the top page, I move on with life.
I'm hopeful that he surrounds himself with the right people so that his administration as a whole makes up for Biden's own failings both socially and politically.
Nice right wing talking points. Great contribution to the discourse of this thread, buddy 🙄
I can't believe people are still on the same bullshit we had 4 years ago. Even with Sanders working with Biden, people still bitch and moan like he was robbed of the nomination. Nevermind that one of Sanders' biggest problems is young people not showing up to vote.
As for the AC stuff, it's fairly harmless as it isn't being forced on anyone. I saw the Twitter replies full of people dismissing AC as a game for children, which shows just how clueless people are. But that's the least surprising thing about all this, I suppose.
Might as well throw your tantrum now and get it over with then. Politics have been in alot of games at some level for a a long time and aren't going anywhere anytime soon.
I'll be very glad when the campaign is over. I haven't played any games this year or anytime I can recall that have current world politics in them, not sure what games you are playing? But you're certainly entitled to your opinion.
You do realize it's a completely optional thing you have to go out of your way to find right?
...Never said it wasn't? But like many others here, simply expressing my personal distaste for it. This is a forum, right?
Cool right wing talking points you got there.
It really is, and it finally gave me a reason to download and use the Nintendo Online app.
Well I have a lot of personal distaste for this election in general but you were making more blanket statements about politics in games, and in one that is again literally about people representing themselves.
This post should be pinned to every single political discussion here. Biden isn't a perfect candidate but he was chosen for a reason. He will simply get shit done in a time where we really need it. Kamala will also get shit done. Fuck all the ignorance in this thread.
Here's another thing for everyone who wants to push the "lesser of two evils" or "the US will absolutely make the same mistake again" shit: Nobody thinks any higher of you for being cynical. Either push Biden and Kamala to be better in a constructive way (as in not posting cop memes, dementia nonsense, or Tara Reade bullshit) or don't fucking post.
As for the actual topic at hand, it's a harmless way to build interest. It's not going to be in your island so all the "no politics in muh games" people can fuck off. You actually won't see it in Animal Crossing again once you leave this thread unless you actively seek it out.
Whether you consider "violence" to include looting is pure semantics, which by the dictionary definition includes destruction of items. What he's trying to do is not lose the moderate vote in the midwest which is key to keeping Trump out of the white house. Besides that, he wasn't equating the killing and brutalizing of black folks to the same as looting. Anyone saying so is either being disingenuous to score out of context talking points or didn't listen to his actual speech.
It's especially weird in a game that basically grew in popularity cause of Covid and frequently had people wearing their masks when visiting islands. Sure, it's escapist, but there was often an acknowledgement of the reality we are in.
