Let me tell you something I find disturbing....

[HappyTails]

When a random genie lamp you don't know from Adam, requests you pick it up and take it to your house. Who at Nintendo thought that was a good idea to implement that feature into a game who main demographic is children complete with mayor who looks no older than 12?

Lamp: Well hello there child, I humbly ask that you pick me up and take me to your house, where you live alone with no witnesses. I could be a lamp that could be dangerous, playing loud off key music in the middle of the night or overcook popcorn making your house smell like burnt popcorn and laugh maniacally at nothing. Take me to your house where I can stay silent in the daytime but at night I'm stalking in the shadows like Edward Cullen from Twilight.


Now that in itself is creepy.

And, with that being said, hello, its me, HappyTails, back after two month hiatus, with my random but on topic posts.

Oh my God
If yout think about it, that's so creepy!

But on the other side, it's a game about a kid running a town with talking animals, so I guess nothing makes sense anyway lol

Today's children are quite savvy, and well understand the difference between real life and games/fairy tales.
Wisp's lamp is called a magic lamp in game - isn't it?
I see the whole game as a fairy tale/magical getaway time form real life.
One post I remember from Reddit - a Mum started to play her child's copy of acnl - and set up a new character - told Rover on the train when he asked her name - get away creep - well whatever would fit in along those lines. Sad really.

I always found that weird. Why are you the only human? Are there no other humans in this world?

Sometimes I wish the villager could be an animal. It seems like that would fit with the world better.

I don't really find it that creepy to be honest, after all, there are many things in Animal Crossing
which are questionable. Like for an example: Who would let a child go in the middle of the night
fishing alone on the beach, with the fact that the kid could catch a shark, which then could
technically attack and maybe even kill the kid. In the game, it's a normal thing, heck, the kid
is even so powerful, he/she can take that shark and put it in his/her pocket. Logic? Doesn't
exist in the Animal Crossing universe.

I mean, I don't get me wrong, I understand your ponit and all, but like I said: There are many
things in the game which are questionable or weird or creepy or... I don't know, which are just
inconceivably in real life. After all, it's just a game taking place in a fantasy world and I'm not
a kid anymore so that's why I don't mind a ghost that just start to talk to me.

You guys do have some points. I mean we are in a humanless world surrounded by talking anthropomorphic animals. A talking lamp that wants us to talk it home should be the least of our problems lol

Here's another creepy thing:

Kapp'n is based off a mythological Japanese creature called the kappa. Kappa are believed to kidnap children and/or drown people.

Kapp'n takes you into his boat to the island.

Let that sink in. o.o

 

[~Unicorn~]

including the other countless creepy things in this game. it's only normal.

I do hate when the stupid lamp tells me to pick it up all the time, so that's why I leave the lamp hidden in my town so he can stop telling me to pick him up.

 

[visibleghost]

if you think the mayors are 12 wouldnt it be weirder that they live alone and have a job as a mayor lol

it's not really weird at all

Are you serious right now?
Okay the creepy factor of this game just went up about 500000000000000 points lol. Funny how this game looks so innocent on the outside lol

including the other countless creepy things in this game. it's only normal.

True that.

I do hate when the stupid lamp tells me to pick it up all the time, so that's why I leave the lamp hidden in my town so he can stop telling me to pick him up.

I never thought of doing that! That works?

if you think the mayors are 12 wouldnt it be weirder that they live alone and have a job as a mayor lol

it's not really weird at all

This is also true.

Or, you know, you could pick it and bury it in storage if you don't plan to use it.


Hmmm, I don't think the mayors are children, just chibi. You know Japan has a habit of making anime characters like perpetually child-like, no matter the age.

How do all you people get creeped out so easily?! The only creepy thing in this game to me is the tanuki statue. ech.

I find Kapp'n very disturbing.

The lamp doesn't bother me, it's cool.
