Why is Beau Popular?

[Lawrence]

I hate these threads. It's the same for any other popular villager.

Let me explain the concept of popularity.

So in real life, there'll be some cute girl at school everyone lives. In game, there'll be some cute villager in your town that people like.
So he is CUTE <3

Second of all, in real life there'll be some types of people that everyone loves. In game, there'll be some type of animal people like, and their personality
My point is Beau is a DEER, and he is LAZY. The deer are quite popular, mainly Diana, Erik, Fauna, and BEAU.

It's not rocket science to search the forums about threads on 'Why is Marshal popular?' or 'Why is Stitches popular?'. Same applies for every popular villager. It's your opinion. Why do you think he's popular?

I have really frickin' had enough of these threads ._.

That make no sense what you’re saying. When you think about popular villagers, you can usually pinpoint a reason for them being so popular. For example, take Zucker. Zucker is popular because he looks like a takoyaki, and that is an interesting gimmick. There’s nothing really special about Beau’s design, as he is very plain and while he is cute, there are a lot of other similarly-cute villagers that have more interesting gimmicks. There’s nothing notable about his face or anything that would really validate why he is so popular.

Beau is popular because he's a cute orange deer. He is aesthetically pleasing. He's got a cute name. He's one of the better lazys

But dang, people in this thread be salty. I don't even play NL anymore but who cares if these threads are common - just answer and get your handful of TBT.

probably because he’s one of the most adorable deer villagers, if not one of the most adorable lazy villagers in general. i’ve always adored beau so i might be biased

This but with Sherb. I have NO idea why he’s so popular other than being cute (and even then, he’s on the same level as Megan IMO). At least Beau has being a gazelle and not a deer. Sherb has being blue. He’s the best goat tho

it probably didn't make much sense because that post is over 6 years old and i was 12 when i wrote it

im gonna quote myself here on what I recently posted in a NH thread about Raymond being top of tier one:

I think those villager tiers just represent which villager is most sought after online rather than which villager is the "best." Personally I consider Tom to be one of the "best" villagers in the game, but I also consider Raymond to be rightfully on top of tier 1 due to his popularity online. I've seen many people online get Raymond in their town solely because he is "popular" (thus contributing to his tier 1 status) only to find they don't actually like him that much. Casual players who are not involved in the online AC community probably have vastly different opinions on which villager is their favorite since they are not influenced by online popularity at all. It would be interesting to see which villagers they think are the "best."

basically I think villager popularity is largely due to the hype they get online. people are influenced by this and/or want to be associated with a popular villager.

Exactly this. I’m relatively new to the online scene (I’ve lurked off and on since NL tho) so sterling is my favorite and likely we remain so.

yup yup, my sister is the same. she is not apart of any online AC community and has all "unpopular" villagers who she adores, except for her first campsite villager who was Raymond. When I told her he was #1 online, she was very surprised, since she didn't think he was anything special.

I wouldn’t have even bothered with Raymond if it wasn’t for my bro becoming an accountant (he just started his career!) I knew of marshal’s popularity in NL, too, and never bothered with him (couldn’t trade so I took who I got lol).

I think he's popular because of his actual design. He has antlers and a nice combination of colors that somewhat with like a real deer.

 

[fluttershy300]

Some people have a thing for simple realistic designs on villagers. Reasons why Fauna and Lolly are popular too.

People’s being so rude- it’s just a question so chill

Beau is definitely top 10. He use to be my favourite but Erik overtook him.

I think it's a combination of his cute deer appearance and his lazy personalty (I don't know how anyone could not love them)

As it is, he isn't in my New Leaf town, but is in my NH island!

When NL came out most of the deer were popular/wanted because it was a brand new animal type added to the game. It also may have to do with the fact that the deer have a high species diversity, like Beau isn't just a plain deer, he has horns like an antelope, there's also gazelles/and even a moose. I'll admit he is cute and a little unique but I prefer other lazies to him.
