People paying American dollars to let other people know they didn't agree with someone's position on something is the lifeblood of these forums.
Sea land is a real place and if you go there you need to self-quarantine for 14 days, as is proper in these times.

It's because every villager in the game is turbo gay, your character uses they/them pronouns and can change their gender by looking in the mirror, and there's a real sense of community where everyone gives each other gifts just because it feels good. None of that is fun to centrists or right wingers, in fact it's brutally offensive. It's the most queer-friendly game ever. Also your house payments pay for the kick-rear end museum that has no entrance fees. It's called "taxing the rich". They take all your money and use it to improve the lives of the poor around you. Animal Crossing is the closest we have to luxury gay space communism.

If Lineham is going to latch onto *anyone* anymore, it's safe to assume they're trans at this point. Because motherfucker is ABSOLUTELY OBSESSED with us. To the point other TERFs now are telling him "hey dude like, chill. You're making us look bad."

That's basically the argument the guy makes: "desire for dominance" here means "wanting to be dominated".
Apparently the game centers around a hyper capitalist crony-capitalist "authoritarian" landlord named Tom Nook who controls your life and the whole point of the game is to please and appease him, which betrays the liberal desire to follow and obey authoritarians, and conservatives don't like that which is obviously why conservatives don't play Animal Crossing. Incidentally his source for "conservatives don't play Animal Crossing, its players are mostly leftists" is... based on nothing. He has no facts to support it, it's just how he feels. But you better believe he's shouting down everyone in the comments for not backing up their arguments RATIONALLY and with DATA.

My bullshit hot-take about wht conservatives/right wingers aren't playing/talking about Animal Crossing is toxic gender roles.

I haven't played it, but from what I understand:

Animal Crossing involves cutesy animals dong cutesy domestic type stuff, and not picking up guns and shooting at each other. So to a conservative manly man it is boring and stupid and girly. Also not nearly enough pixelated tits.

And for a conservative tradwife woman, Animal crossing is A) a video game so it must be for boys and/or little kids, and B) involves doing a bunch of different things, (buying turnips, selling them, farming, building your house etc.) so "This is too complicated, I don't understand. What button do you press? Oh I can't do this, I'm just a girl! etc."

people really cannot handle the concept of a statement being in response to an implication

for example, they don't understand that cops getting away with killing black people implies that black lives don't matter, and that "black lives matter" is a response to that. that's why they counter with "all lives matter" and think they're being clever

I dunno if it can be generalized in that direction. I'll bet they'd be able to handle an implication just fine if it didn't imply that THEY might have to do some introspection, or that something might be lovely in the world that the onus might be on them to deal with.

Nook builds you a whole two-floor house for about 42,000$ (or 4 million yen, in the game's terms), in four days and charges you 0 interest. You're basically getting a house for what it cost him to build it and you can pay him back any time, no sweat.
