Ok, so, this is only referring to people with a holier-than-thou attitude towards TTers. I'd just like to point out a few of the common reasons people give why time travel is ~wrong~ and provide a rebuttal from my perspective.
It's not how the game was meant to be played!
I have seen many people describe Animal Crossing as a "life sim." If your life consists of being the only human in a world of charismatic animals who talk, then I guess maybe this is a life sim for you? But let's just pretend that Animal Crossing is a life simulator for a bit. Maybe I don't want to live two different lives at exactly the same pace? Real life is always so full of monotonous waiting, and I didn't buy the game to get that x2. I'd like to remind you that the creators of the game were the ones who put the option to change the clock into the game; it's not a hack/glitch/whatever. Think about this honestly: if you could time travel in real life with such minimal consequences, wouldn't you? You wouldn't be all, "That's not how irl was meant to be played." You would go back in time and invent the light bulb or something. Or go forward to get that game that isn't coming out until like next year. But you can't because real life isn't a game. Animal Crossing, on the other hand, is. In other words, the game was meant to be played however you want, because it's yours and you payed money for it and that's all that matters.
It gives TTers an unfair advantage over people who don't TT.
It really, really doesn't. Anyone is free to time travel if they wish. If they choose not to, then power to them.
This isn't even a competitive game. Kinda silly.
They're just going to get bored of their game sooner like that.
This is just plain generalization. I set my game to the right time and didn't time travel for a month, and I was losing interest. But, like, why does it matter to you if someone else "ruins" the game for themselves, anyway? That has nothing to do with anyone else. I hear Animal Crossing: New Leaf is trading in for like $20 right now at GameStop. That's half the cost of another game, give or take.
Again, this is not a stab at everyone who doesn't time travel. I've just seen too many treat it as some despicable act and I just
