He isn’t in this game, but I dislike Kapp’n.
Did Nintendo really think it was okay to:
1. Make an Animal Crossing character who’s a kappa, a mythological Japanese river monster who are known to kill children and sexually violate women? Click here if you want to read more about Kappas (it’s quite disturbing):

2. Why did they make it so Kapp’n hits on your player character (only if she is female)? The player character is supposed to be “you”. For numerous young girls playing this game, they identify the player character as “themself”. Kapp’n is supposed to be an old man. It gives off major uncomfortable vibes. Not to mention, for the young girls playing the game it could normalize that kind of behavior bring directed at them, and they wouldn’t think anything fishy because “Oh, Kapp’n acts like that, and he’s been friendly to me...” Yeah. Real life isn’t like that, needless to say.
