I'm so tired of raymond

[coffee biscuit]

When Raymond was first revealed, I fell in LOVE with him. He hit all the right keys with me, he was perfect. Sadly, due to his insane popularity and people turning rabid over him, it's made him kind of off putting to me, like he's some sort of forbidden villager that I should feel bad for even having lol

I still adore him and I'm super happy he's on my island, but yeah...
Good thing Cyd ended up being my top favorite instead, hehe~ Nowhere near as popular and I like him a lot more.

 

[Allytria]

On the contrary, I'm tired of people saying how much they dislike Raymond. It's equally annoying

 

[Bk1234]

I mean you could always go Nook Miles Ticket Island hunting for him...
You'll get resources along the way

 

[Stereokay]

Serious moonlight cat is cool. Can we get an Elton John flamingo next?

I think Raymond is fine and you could like whoever you want, but speaking of smugs, let's appreciate my boy O'Hare.

 

[Hedgehugs]

As someone who likes Marshall (not obsessively, he's just one of the cuter smugs) I'm definitely exhausted from the Raymond hype.

Still gonna invite him to my island if I find him and make bank off the Raymond stans, tho

i feel bad because im the same. like if i see this dude on an island my first thought is going to be how much bank i can make off him leaving asap lmao and i never thought that way with any other villager. mostly it's just "oh im not the biggest fan of this villager but i know some people have them as their dreamie so i'll just keep them for now."

 

[Jared:3]

Ehhhh Raymond is alright I don't see the hype, however I love cats and Ankha is the best cat and anyone who disagrees can fight me

I always thought this too, and it's easier. So like??? Only downside I could see if you're lazy maybe but like I'm super lazy myself and don't mind popping a balloon, talking to my villagers, and watering some flowers for a tour that'll get me 30 woods, iron nuggets, and possibly the dreamie i was looking for?

I'm probably missing the point but idk.

I love Raymond, his design is very nice. I have tried finding him on islands but no luck. I didn't spend that many NMT (I used about 9 tickets) in my search for him. I am in no rush to acquire him. I have amiibos of my dreamies but I have only inserted 1 in my game lol. I'm pretty lazy on that aspect. If I ever do find Raymond, I'm keeping him. I think Nintendo will release new amiibo cards later this year. By then, the NMT prices on him will tone down and he won't be as "special" (Though, like someone said earlier, people will definitely sell his card on eBay way higher than any other villager, so while NMT will tone down, real-life currency will go up).

Why is everyone freaking out over whether or not people like or dislike a virtual cat?

You like Raymond? Fine. You don't like him? Fine. He's 1s and 0s in a data bank.

I kind of understand the pricing thing- but you have to remember, supply and demand. The people that like him pay to own him. You can't blame people for wanting to turn a profit.

I think the main two things that made me get sick of Raymond were:
1) the sheer quantity of non-MLM, often even non-LGBT, referring to him as a twink
2) the flood of posts going "omg look who they put in ACNH!" with a picture of Raymond and a picture of literally any white dude who wears glasses and a tie

 

[ForgottenT]

Everyone out here acting like the tickets they've gotten from other people are legit lol
There's a save editor out already people, the thousands of tickets you all got aren't legit, do you really believe that?..

Ankha's my favorite cat too!

You took the words right out of my mouth. At the end of the day he's a cat in a video game. It's not that serious whether or not people like him.

 

[skogkyst]

I don't mind his design but he's not worth the crazy amount that people trade him for.

 

[ali.di.magix]

Do I like Raymond? Yes.
Do I like the NMT economy? Definitely not.

I saved up TBT for nothing lol

I well in truly know this feeling. The tbt economy is non-existent right now, whether that's because it's disabled or not is a different story, and that makes me upset as I spent and sacrificed quite a bit to get my tbt that is now useless. I'd be quite willing to spend excessive amounts of tbt on things I want but no one wants tbt right now Alright I've had my whine about tbt now, I'm over it now.

 

[Mairen]

*shrugs* eh, he's a character in a video game. He is a cutie, and it's natural that people are going to like him more since he's a new character in the series (plus, cat villagers tend to be more popular). I have no hatred or dislike for the people who like him. I understand why he's popular, but I'm not foaming at the mouth to have him in my town or anything ^-^. The economy is quite intimidating for me currently though.

 

[Fey]

I thought he looked neat, and that I would consider keeping him if he moved in randomly. That’s how much/little I cared for him to begin with.

Now—in my eyes at least—he’s become a symbol for greed and a broken system. The fact that people called him business cat before we knew his name (and that his house looks like a frickin’ accountant’s office!) is so appropriate. He just stands for things I despise, sadly.

 

[sierra]

I have a cat that looks just like Raymond but even I'm not about to grind out even 400 nmt for him. People need to seriously relax. It's a little cringey.

100% agree lol. I've been saving tbt up for this game, now it's just </3
