Why Do People Care About Time Travelers?

I only started TTing in NH a few days ago, because I honestly just felt like trying it out since it gave me more enjoyment in NL. Turns out it's making me enjoy NH more too. And I continue to TT because I refuse to keep villagers with names that remind me of bad times.
Personally I don't care who TTs or not. I certainly won't let anyone dictate how I choose to spend my own time in the game that I paid for with my own money. I won't do it to others either.

some people just don't know how to stay in their lane, tbh. stop worrying about other people's business and mind your own! ✌
we all paid $60 for the game, no one should get a say in how you personally want to spend your time playing it. if you ask me, anyone who kicks up a fuss about it has a superiority complex. if TT wasn't a valid form of play, they would've kept in all the guilt-tripping from the older games... it's not by accident that those systems have been completely removed.

Right now I'm mad at them cause I'm choosing to not TT to do the Earth Day stuff and I'm jealous they get bushes before me xD
I have my gates open so non TTers can come buy and see Leif if you wanna drop by? I am charging one NMT though.. sorry if that ruins it for ya

It was sarcasm; I'm not actually mad.
I'm patient and can wait 5 hours to get my own bushes without having to be charged an entry fee to go get some myself lol
I time travel occasionally, for example to open up a plot so I can adopt a villager. I’m not traveling to tomorrow to unlock the event early. I don’t care about spoilers ever, even TV shows or movies. They’ve never bothered me. I LOVE seeing people’s towns who have TT’d because it gives me inspiration for my own town.
I can’t remember if I TT’d in GC or WW but I definitely did in NL and I still loved the game whole heartedly. I don’t have an opinion on if people call it cheating or not.
In the end, I play the game the way I want and you play the game the way you want.

I think people need to focus on their own islands a bit more. So what if someone else is TTing. It doesn't and shouldn't affect anyone else but them.
This is the most open-minded, respectful discussion I’ve seen on the topic, and I’m honestly glad OP made another thread.
I do think that in a lot of cases, the perceived negativity toward TTers is completely blown out of proportion. Even in this thread, I’ve seen several posters describing why they assume people hate time travelers, instead of letting those people speak for themselves. These posts can do real damage by creating a false narrative that both makes TTers feel victimized and non-TTers look awful. It drowns out people’s actual, often justified, opinions and undermines peaceful co-existence (in the thread/forum/community)
(To be clear, I don’t mean just any post that tries to answer the question from a non-tt perspective—I mean the ones that assume and exaggerate hostile intent and outlandish reasoning)

i'm a goat, but not
Games don't HAVE to have an impact on your life; Uno didn't inspire me to create a novel series & Sims didn't teach me about the importance of family. Now you're just gatekeeping how people should be playing games in general.
Yeah, I use that argument as well every time I get banned. Nobody ever listen though...
i think a lot of gamers are just more mad and salty in general nowadays. like look at scrubquotes on twitter, people get downright furious when they lose anything. like they want to be the best at something but it’s always someone else’s fault when someone else is better than them. not saying that timetravellers are “better” but they do definitely have a leg up and then people get slighted by that, even if it doesn’t affect them or they’re totally capable of doing it too but won’t because of their pride i guess. there’s no wrong way to play animal crossing, but there is one right way: the way that makes you happiest. if you’re not having fun regardless of how you play then what’s the point?

my friend, a non TT-er, made a fence around one of his villagers’ houses so she couldn’t leave. also hit her with a net. i’ve actually seen more non-TTers do that bc they’re impatient to get villagers they dislike to leave.
i understand your other points and while i disagree with you, i think some people are kind of twisting your words/taking issue with the wrong thing. i think the real issue here is that you don’t fully understand TTers’ perspectives and have as such latched onto the issues you have with them (bc you obvs have more easily identifiable negative feelings about TT than positive ones). that’s not necessarily your fault as no one can be expected to appreciate/fully understand opposing viewpoints all the time. i think you might feel more at peace if you *try*, though.
i could be wrong about this, in which case i apologise for...overdoing it? either way, i hope everyone here enjoys the update.

My guy why does it affect you so deeply whether people time travel or not or how they treat their pixelated NPC's
you can sugarcoat your gatekeeping all you want but it's still gatekeeping

It doesn't affect me but it affect other so then it affect me. Its really is a curse. To actually care about other people when most people are just plain selfish. Can't help how you're born.

What i want to know is why it suddenly because an issue when nh came out. Before everyone was like “heres my town, i hacked it so bamboo grows in the river and my town tree is on the beach” and almost everyone was perfectly happy about that. I posted a screenshot of maple on a bridge the day after nh came out and multiple people swore at me because i TTed lol.
My assumption is that when the game is a bit older no one will care. I think a lot of people get mad that others get things before they do because of TT but once a calendar year has gone by at least and all of the non TTers have seen everything I think we’ll all go back to not caring.

Most of the TTers (who aren't Animal Crossing fans) (Which is none of the people here) that exploit and ruin the market are probably gone in a year, as there plenty of other games for them to latch on and ruin. So yeah probably in a year or two we will stop caring. But then when a new AC game get release, it going to be the same thing over and over again.
Nintendo sold out! Say one thing and do another.
