Animal Crossing is widely known as one of the most wholesome and cute video game franchises and loved by millions of players worldwide. However, the Animal Crossing series has been riddled with drama and controversies right from its inception. From questionable and offensive design choices in the game, to hacks that allowed players to destroy consoles and brick games Animal Crossing has it all. While the Animal Crossing fandom seems cozy and friendly, a part of it devised an underground black market for villagers like Raymond, started a witch hunt against contraband hacked items, scammed other players out of thousands of dollars for Amiibo cards, and threatened other players. And let's not forget our favorite (maybe) dancing cat.So get your Ankha and Isabelle plush ready, because we'll dive deep into the insanity of Animal Crossing controversies.
