Message: [QUOTE="Akiba, post: 256656, member: 29015"] Oh, pardon my misunderstanding of the question then. Lowkey Im used to folks getting ready to shank me for any reason these days so yeah, my bad for the gun jump. Its not really that its that.....sexuality isnt really any point or core point of Animal crossing. Sure, some characters might have a crush on another and I mean, maybe 10 out of 300 or 400, but most are just characters defined more by their personalities, voice, style and the memories you make with em. Its not that its banned, its that its just not approached. This is Nintendo, meaning they want to appeal to the global market, and there are still many countries where parents would like the ability to teach their kids about that kind of stuff before a game does. One would assume that while showing characters like that would normalize its not their place to educate or really explain. However to pull this back? Romance of any kind isnt really what AC has ever been about. Back on the N64 it was a very simple game and by the time of the internal clock on the Gamecube, it was started to think of the game in a family dyanamic. Where a family could play 1 card, leave notes for each other on the billboard, and mails ect ect. This was pre net connection of course so thats why they pushed a more family angle first. I dont think an inclusion or lack there of is them making a statement on what is right or not. They arent trying to make that statement nor are the trying to educate since they realize thats not one, their responsibility, and two, thats not their purpose as more then just kids play these games. Plus for me, it doesnt matter what a characters sexuality is, I dont like or dislike characters because of that. I care much more about who they are, what they stand for, how they live, their moral code. As I said, if thats your only criteria, you exclude a lot of wonderful characters for something they cant really choose or help. [/QUOTE]
