Mini Rant: The 'Same-ness' of posts on Reddit, Twitter etc.

[Corrie]

I mean, it was like that in NL too. Everyone seemed to have a cute pastel kawaii pink town usually named something like Doki Doki, Kokoro or Milk Tea. They also typically had Diana, Marshal, Beau, Merengue, Marina and whoever else is pink/white/neutral.

That was getting on my nerves so I'm glad at least it's different this time around.

They do it for clout. Anyway good thing I don't have twitter anymore. Instagram is nice. All I see there is posts of people's island and what they have designed.

Bubblegum K.K. is so last few years. It's all about K.K. Adventure and Mountain Song now. My villagers are going to be dancing and singing in a lederhosen and dirndl.

I honestly think it's newcomers playing the game and are excited about seeing their villagers do the things that thousands of us have seen already so it doesn't really bother me. I'm not going to post and be the debbie downer on their excitement, I just scroll past it.

and for god's sake I REFUSE to play bubblegum K.K when any of them walk past my dj turntable,
why? because I've seen 100 videos on it
at this point bubblegum k.k is getting old, I like marathon better :/

It's gotten to the point where I'm going to turn it off in my plaza... ☹

I love K.K. Adventure! I had that playing in my main room for awhile.

My advice is to stay away from social media for a while or find other topics to balance it out. You need to consume everything in moderation.

I don't use twitter or any social media but the maid dress thing...
no no no no
and yet those people get the likes of everyone on the planet and there are 1million videos of it posted every day

DUDE kk Marathon is my jam..it's cuter than kk bubblegum tbh- but yeah I only let kk bubblegum play if I put my stuff on shuffle! Ugh...the maid dress thing..I mean..I guess i'm no different since I put Filbertin a dress but in the old games I noticed that Filbert wore a pink n white dress so I guess that was pre established and I put O'Hare in a tropical muumuu JUST FOR A TROPICAL PHOTO ON HARVS ISLAND. I don't give my characters dresses like that..

The flashbacks your post gave me, oh my godddd.

Cottagecore is the new pastel town, I think. Now you need to name your town something like “burlap” and your island rep is a frugal hat wearing witch named “butter” or “walnut” and basically everything’s brown, white and green.

Huh interesting! I don't follow much AC social media anymore because of what happened with NL so I'm blindly walking around lol. I'm surprised country Japan isn't the new trendy style.

It’s actually crazy how popular it’s become. I was so confused what “cottagecore” even meant when I first saw an island labeled with this. Now you basically can’t scroll through any posts on any site where people are showcasing islands without seeing one lol.

I'm guilty of having Diana but to be fair I wanted her for about 7 years now ;; when I saw her in acnl I fell in love with her,, she's my snobby baby,, I have so many pink mums I had to use them in my aesthetic while trying to make blue n white work as well,, I like cute things but then again my island is based on anarchist country I made up. It's actually quite chaotic and island is just a soft version of my very chaotic and gruesome country...maybe name should have been NeverSatisfied..but that didn't fit..even if it did it'd be weird oops I yammered on again

Oh Japan-inspired towns are definitely another trend I see everywhere. It’s interesting to consider how the two dominant trends of ACNH islands differ. Like, rustic on one hand and urban on the other.

I really like and want Diana too! Just because a villager is super popular, does not mean people should be discouraged from liking them.

That is interesting. Japan inspired towns meaning like shrine-like or like a typical Japanese city?

omy lort this made me howl with laughter.

they're also probably popular because of the limited furniture options... it makes sense that there's a lot of japan-themed towns when there's so much furniture for it and not many castle-themed towns for example because there's no sets like princess/royal/gracie etc.

I’d say the towns are mostly inspired by animes from urban/suburban settings though some definitely aim to replicate a specific city. As for shrines, many islands seem to have a designated “Zen” area, irrespective of the predominant aesthetic. I think that’s always been the case in AC though, simply because the items for it are always there.

what does it mean im curious and don't feel like looking it up :/

I feel better qwq thank you

 

[monsieurberry]

I agree, especially Reddit. It’s so annoying to see not even the same villagers but the SAME VILLAGERS DOING THE SAME THING upvoted every single day...I don’t get it.

Also the cottagecore stuff. It’s cute but it’s not hard which is why it’s so popular.

Agreed. I enjoy the game lately a lot more when I stopped going to the subreddits everyday. Besides, it was spoiling stuff.
