Biden campaign launches official Animal Crossing: New Horizons yard signs

[Nefarious]

This may sound like a silly question but what DIY or item do I need to display these like actual lawn signs? I love how they look in the pic in the article and want them to look that way in game. Thanks!

It's the Plain Wooden Shop Sign DIY.

*pokemon go to the polls flashbacks

I bet the Biden campaign will make an ad featuring Drampa KOing Gumshoos.

Thank you for letting me know! *scans known DIYS* And I don't have that one. Off to buy one! Thanks again!

Man oh man nothing I love more than when a corporation or organization uses Animal Crossing as an advertising platform.

Being a presidential candidate doesn't give you a pass, Joe.

I wonder if there is a "sniff" emote that goes with it

I know this will be unpopular, but part of why I play this game to get away from real world things like politics, etc. (that goes for any politician, regardless of their views). I just really dislike politics of any kind, period. I'm sorry...*hides!* ;-;

I did like some political science - it was my minor in college, but politics and current events have been stressing me out so I’ve been trying to avoid them myself. I did vote .

I personally have little or no problem with the Biden campaign using the game to get people to vote. I am pretty sure not a lot of my friends who are all gamers like me vote, so at this point with the state our country (if you live in the us like me) is in, if this will get more people to vote, I too am for this.

@Valzed it looks like it's on the wooden sign DIY, customized white.


Okay, this isn't what I expected to see, but as others have said, if it motivates people to participate in elections and vote, I'm all for it.

I agree about playing a game like Animal Crossing to escape politics. But, at the same time...it's all by choice. I could see it being a problem if the signs popped up in your town without you wanting them there...but, you're talking about something that you need to actively choose to display. I guess it might muck up visiting dream islands. But, again...you need to know which islands you want to visit anyway, and specifically put the code in for them. It just seems like an entirely avoidable scenario to me. The people who want to display a political affiliation in their game can go ahead and do so on an official level...and those who don't can just go right on playing like nothing has changed. Seems like a win/win.

Going after those young voters!

They must be pretty desperate, all I know is I’m not polluting my island up with stupid politics. Got enough of that stuff in the real world.

 

[Llunavale]

This seems like a weird thing to be seeing in Animal Crossing, hasn't Biden already been outed as a massive creep...? I mean there's video of the guy sniffing individuals' hair. If him being a candidate isn't desperation for change, I don't know what is.

I do not like this new trend of companies using the game to advertise their stuff. Hope it doesn't continue.

Oh no. It got worse.

 

[Solio]

I know nobody is forcibly exposed to such marketing campaigns, I know we can just ignore it if we dont like it. But it's the principle of companies that dont give a damn about Animal Crossing or video games in general, using the game as a tool for their own gains, that bothers me.
It's plainly obvious they're just jumping on the bandwagon to profit from the game's success and dont actually care about the game and its playerbase. It's just really scummy.

I wonder if Nintendo is aware of this. Maybe they're tolerating it because it gives the game publicity, too...

Anyways, this has to stop.

 

[Nunnafinga]

I don't put political bumper stickers on my car so I'm not gonna put these things in my ACNH island.What I would like to see is maybe Microsoft making Biden and Trump as playable characters in Halo multiplayer so they can blast the crap out of each other.

 

[HappyTails]

I saw them. They were creative and all but Animal Crossing and politics are better off staying separate.

 

[Tiffany]

Well then I hope we get Trump signs too, if not i'll just have to make my own

 

[Insulaire]

I regret opening this thread

 

[fluttershy300]

Those custom designs are well made but nooooo thank you

 

[Che5hire Cat]

Never I thought I would see Animal Crossing becoming a new platform for companies and such to advertise what they wanna advertise...

And seeing this makes me kinda uncomfortable tbh.
