You just further prove my point. It show that AC doesn't mean much to you, doesn't have an impact on your life since it just a game about cartoon animals.
Why Do People Care About Time Travelers?

see, i think this is a perfectly valid and respectable viewpoint. i can understand where you're coming from. i do feel like most people are very good about this, with screenshots of other seasons and whatnot being put under spoiler tags. but there's always going to be the occasional person who doesn't use spoiler tags. i don't fully agree, but i see where you're coming from with this one, as opposed to "time travelers aren't TRUE fans".

I appreciate this response, but unfortunately I can't think of any solution beyond... you've gotta keep yourself away from social media if you don't want spoilers. We can beg and plead with people all we want to keep those spoilers tucked away, just like we can ask people again and again to not gatekeep so dang hard, but ultimately there's no surefire way to keep those spoilers from getting to you besides getting as far away from the source as possible.
I'm all for spoiler protected sections of the forum, or whatever would help people to that end, but places like twitter, youtube, facebook - it's the wild west.
Thanks for being civil and understanding in stating your opinion.
Animal Crossing is literally a video game. I paid $90 for the game and I would like to play it how I want. This shouldn't be affecting you so personally.

No, what they are saying is that it's not a game where you have to get serious to the point that you are trying to start an argument. Please accept others have different opinion than yours and do not assume things because you do not agree. You are getting far from the topic on hand.
Some people TT, others don't. It is what it is.

I love animal crossing! I also don't care how other people play because it's a game about cartoon animals. I don't even TT man, I'm just not out here accusing people who want cartoon items faster of having no morals. Do you think everyone who plays AC needs to like, cry in joy when they open it?
animal crossing has been a part of my life for 15 years and i think you're taking it too seriously. the way that other people play the game should not be bothering you this much. as much as i love animal crossing, it is just a game. an important game yes, a therapeutic game yes, but just a game.
"The phrase “it’s just a game” is such a weak mindset. You are ok with what happened, losing, imperfection of a craft. When you stop getting angry after losing, you’ve lost twice. There’s always something to learn, and always room for improvement, never settle. "

I don't know how that is funny? But base on people response I can tell who a TTers and who isn't. In general non-TTers care about their villagers and other things because they respect their town/island. We don't see this as just a game, we don't mistreat our villagers. We cry when this game was announced and we play every AC game until the next one comes out. This isn't just a game for us, this is something else that is special. And it not just me, my steam buddies who are all huge AC fans feel the same way.
ninja was right we have to take a big fat Lcan't believe time travelers are out here playing animal crossing on easy mode

Personally, I don't like that they don't age. Damn you time-traveling wizard people.

If you didn't 100% Animal Crossing on March 20th why'd you even buy the game?

it's funny that somebody who thinks so highly of a game would fight so hard to make others feel bad for playing it the way that brings them joy, that they feel is special.
not like funny ha-ha, more like funny that you think anyone who poured their soul into making this game would be in any way pleased with you trying to put other people down
While I see your point, I'm gonna have to respectfully disagree. As a kid I would sneak my DS under my bed and play it after my parents checked that I was "asleep" so I could enjoy my game more and interact with my villagers. I saw one person say they time travel because they work most days and get off late so they move thier island to 12pm so she can interact with her villagers. Ive had my 2020 calender marked with the release date since the game got announced. I am a TTer because I wanted the villagers I loved to be on my island asap. TTers have beatiful islands and put HOURS into thier town and villagers.
my two cents here, that i already stated in another thread - albeit a bit differently:
i honestly don't get the fuzz about the tt'ing - i tt myself and while i know now everyone is like that, i usually keep stuff that might be spoiler-ish to myself. i also mostly tt to get more out of an irl day or to get out some villagers that i want to trade - i don't host for anyone (meteor shower, diy crafting) if my date isn't correct. and i don't tt to extremes, the furthest i went when trying to get a villager to leave was early june and i reset back to the current date and promptly went on from there. if you don't tt, that's fine with me - if you do tt because of other reasons, that's also fine with me.
a bunch of people i've seen onsite and offsite arguing about this are stupidly mean about it, saying that if tt's finish building something, they "won't feel like they actually earned it and don't know my satisfaction" or that "they are ruining the economy" while i personally have to say, it's a bridge. i now can cross the river without my pole. what satisfaction is to be earned from that? and people selling raymond on ebay and getting actual money out of it are the ones ruining the economy, mind you.
what irks me about this whole gatekeeping is that a lot of people (especially non-tt's who are against it) forget that a bunch of people like me have to work (not saying that non-tt's don't work, the animal crossing community is a mixed bag of all ages anyway) and my work - outside of covid quarantine - has times from 8am til 5:30pm DAILY, 5 days a week. i'm home shortly after 6pm, but finding the motivation to do about anything after that is something i'm not able to - which is why i want to finish my island asap so i can have fun on it later and not be stuck with a WiP for the next few years.

yeah, the newcomers maybe who's first game is new horizons and they're just doing it because they see it as mainstream. i grew up with the games and you can pry it from my cold dead hands if you'd like, even if they removed time travelling. i really don't care if they take it in or out, i can play my €60 game the way i want and considering i've played it for around 290 hours by now, if anything, i won't put it down soon. and i don't intend to leave the community just because they remove one singular feature.
^ this. finding stuff is neat and all, but if it's something neither a non-tt'ing northern or southern hemi player can get, i'd shut up about it if i'm honest. or at least talk with someone in private who's comfortable with spoilers, but not openly where anyone can see it. personally, i don't care about spoilers, but others - like you - do, and we should respect that.
