While it's certainly clear AC attempts to steer clear of politics

While I get New Horizons Items what you are saying about AC with no political messaging or topics, I do not think that is exactly accurate -- black fans of the series have campaigned for a longlong time for skin colour and hairstyle inclusion. Even in New Leaf you'd had to stand at sunlight for in sport hours to"tan" so as to be white. So I really don't think it's surprising that something like this was met with defensiveness and hostility, Nintendo as a business has always been slow to deal with lack of racial diversity in their own games.Dope! I understand nothing about animal crossing but seems like a well designed and implemented tattoo all around.

While it's certainly clear AC attempts to steer clear of politics, it's not possible to be wholly apolitical. What we call political or not is, political! If we're not closely involved with a problem, we have the liberty to choose whether it matters. So is utilizing black hairstyles at a match somehow a problem? Well, one way or another, there is not an easy answer.

This isn't an issue of bringing politics into video games. This is an issue of people taking a nugget of a reasonable argument and taking it in a horrible direction.Exactly, unfortunately the nuance here (as you said black gamers petitioning nintendo to understand that hey, maybe black people want to seem like themselves in AC, also!) . .It's kinda regarding cause I am white (ok I'm half Brazilian but I certainly look white) and that I have very frizzy hair(not positive if it's the correct term, English is not my first language) and I just know that if I ever posted actual picture of me following two day of ski I'd get some buy bells acnh shit.
