It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about popular villagers in Animal Crossing New Horizons. Every fanbase for a series with a lot of characters has favorites. There are popular Pokemon, popular Digimon, so of course there are also popular Animal Crossing villagers as well. But for some reason, characters like this have always divided the fandom. Whenever there's a new popular character, half of the fans love them, and the other half hate them. This is a massive divide for such a popular game, especially since fan-favorite characters seem to change rather frequently. This is usually because new characters don't have Amiibo cards, which makes it more difficult to get them on your island. So when their cards release, the hype dies down. But then why do these characters divide the fanbase so much? It's often just because people get tired of seeing them. They'll consider the characters to be bland, overrated, or just unlikable. This obviously upsets the fans who like the characters, which causes bickering within the fandom. It hasn't been as bad recently, but sometimes there are still fans who complain about Raymond or Shino just because of how popular they are. Personally I think we should be allowed to like characters regardless of their popularity, but that might just be me. Regardless, these are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!
