I've been thinking a lot about how people choose villagers for their island and why, as well as the overall villager trading culture.
For example, I have a very specific color theme for my island, which is orange, yellow and green. I have made sure that wherever possible, if there is color customization to make something one of those colors I will try to do so. This has ended up applying to my villagers as well. They are all shades of orange yellow and green. Is this weird? Twisted? When I told a friend who does not play animal crossing about this they called it an ethnostate >.<
I saw someone compare collecting villagers to collecting Pokémon, and while I mostly agree I still feel a little weird when I think about the fact that I have been waiting for Julian to move out for months because he's blue. I completely ignored him to encourage him to leave... and I know other people do a lot worse to villagers they don't want...
Which brings me to the more general question: How do you feel about Villager Hunting and the culture around it? How do you feel about people choosing villagers based on looks or species alone?
