How come there are no more real rude villagers in animal crossing? Everyone is so boring and nice now

It made little kids cry and their moms complained

i don't believe that it made that many kids upset, i'm more convinced it was just parents seeing it and complaining preemtively

that's the case with nearly everything in media that "scares kids", kids usually don't mind but adults make it a problem

Because the company used to have an abrasive atmosphere on the dev floor but the games they make are now reflective of the new atmosphere inside Nintendo.

Interestingly enough it was the Wii U that killed this, because that culture was blamed for making it a flop. No one spoke up about it failing out of fear

I wish Tom would tease me about being short while pressing me against a wall with his big tanuki tummy
6'4" btw

Unitonically OP, its because the adults who play Annal Crossing now are neurotic control freaks who spaz out when a villager wears a shirt they dont like. Nintendo has been capitulating and pandering to them more and more with each release up to New Horizons where youre almost literally God and can terraform even the fucking land and water to your liking, as well as decorate every villager's house personally and dress them.

This kind of interaction would actually put some modern AC player in the fucking hospital.

Is it true that the villagers aren't rude in the Japanese versions of the first few games and that was only something done by the localizers?

Animal crossing needs an actual reputation system. You can't make everyone happy and that's just a part of life.

I think people over fixate on the occasional mean comment in the original and forget that every villager in general was multifaceted and wasn't just a single anime cliché stretched out for 500 lines of dialogue like the modern games. The villagers were the main event in the original game but now they are just set dressing to an infinite grind of fish/bug/fossil collecting

>>715169550 (OP)
I get that people want the dialogue to be less sterile and braindead but the obsession with "rude" villagers is retarded, they just shouldn't be profoundly mentally stunted.

That was only Resetti, he upset JP kids and was made optional, then removed.

The shirt changer thing at the town hall was implemented because people would put up swastikas and dicks as patterns and villagers would pick them up. This was way before NH, people did this in CF.

No it fucking wouldn't, it'd get screenshotted, posted on Twitter with "Did Ankha just" and get 100k Likes
