Police Call Animal Crossing Players Paedophiles

lucky-star-wii.png

Police have condemned adults who play the latest in Nintendo’s popular Animal Crossing series, “Animal Crossing: City Folk”, as being predatory paedophiles, saying “There is no reason an adult should have this game”, and claiming that the only motive an adult could have for playing it is to seduce children.

The warning comes from the Mid-Missouri Internet Crimes Task Force, where investigator Andy Anderson warns that any adult playing the game “is likely doing so for the wrong reasons”, and points out that online predators could be lurking in the game thanks to its multiplayer capabilities.

Anderson further warns that police just don’t have the resources to stamp out the Animal Crossing lolicon menace, meaning parents may even have to resort to supervising their own children: “The equipment is real expensive and we cannot afford to buy all of the systems and do not have the resources either to examine all of the possibilities.”

The source darkly talks of the game’s relationship building system, where players can exchange letters, gifts and favours in pursuit of friendship, implying out that these elements are tantamount to putting children on a nationwide lolicon meat-market.

Via KMIZ.

Animal Crossing: City Folk, for the Wii, has been available for a number of months now.

The game even offers voice chat, so clearly children are at an elevated risk of verbal molestation.

    Hmm. I think it's wierd that they're saying that in the first place. Don't they know girls also like animal crossing because it's adorable to look at? oh wait, I forgot. We're nothing but Camwhores that carry something for you to stare at when you're writing our tickets.

    I don't care if I get called a pedo for playing my games. Until they pay for my games, I can do whatever the hell I want with my hard earned money. Cripes people stop condeming the innocent, there are four more fingers pointing right back at you too you know.

    The fact is that most of these people pointing at these people and saying 'PEDO!" are pedosexuals themselves.
    We found that out in America a LOOOONG time ago, with Foley, the various judges in various states who were 'so tough on pedosexuals' yet were doinking six year olds themselves, etc.

    Basically, pedosexuality is the new homosexuality that is being used to discriminate against people. Society had better start realizing that, because the 'game plan' is to make pedosexuals illegal (that's pretty much already been done), then move on to homosexuals, then to heterosexuals outside of marriage, etc.

    and how in the freakin world did they got the idea of pedophiles using Animal Crossing to hunt for kids if they don't have the equipment to test before they do a press release?

    My favorite part of the article is the officer's suggestion that if only they had more money, his precinct would buy a few Wiis and copies of Animal Crossing and play them looking for potential predators. That's exactly where I want the cops to be: inside, playing on fucking Nintendos.

    That's pretty lol. I love my share of 2D lolis every now and then but Animal Crossing? Seriously? That's so damn broad, might as well label everyone a pedophile the moment we turn 18 so we can all be "Safe". This country is so damn paranoid when it comes to the "predators" it's not even funny. I can't blame Nintendo for not going fully online and getting rid of their friend codes system when I come across crap like this.

    I play Animal Crossing for the same reason why I read/watch slice of life stuff: the relaxing effect. Then again, even if I had a Wii, I wouldn't play City Folks since I've already played the GC one to death (relaxing death).

    Here's another adult/parent stating ridiculous accusations based off nothing.

    Pedophiles stalking?
    Come on seriously, that's an insult to the people who made the game who believe in building a normal friendship.

    ALSO

    YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE PERSONS FRIEND CODE IN ORDER TO EVEN STEP FOOT INTO THEIR TOWN!

    I'm a 20 year old female and I love playing the game. I love dressing up my character and collecting items, I love fishing and trying to collect everything. I like making goofy faces and trading items with my friends.

    Does this make me a pedophile?

    That's what some of these idiots would like to be done. The fact is that people are just going to have to realize that pedosexuals are NORMAL and that they have always been around.

    In fact, speaking from my experiences as a child... being doinked by an adult does NOT harm a child in the slightest.

    What does? The 'therapy', actually brainwashing, that tries to beat the child down into thinking that what they did with the adult wasn't their choice, that they were 'taken advantage of' (I would REALLY like to give anyone who told a child that a fist in the face, knocking out teeth, because it simply isn't true), etc.

    I've talked with MANY children and adults who had sexual relationships with adults and with adults when they were children...... it didn't harm them in the slightest.
    In fact, the only 'harm' came from their parents interfering in the relationships because they were 'spending too much time with the adult' in question. Basically, jealousy is what it comes down to: the parents are jealous that this non-familial adult gets along better with their children than they themselves do.

    Animal Crossing was used exclusively during 08-09 deployment of service members who had children to stay in CONTACT with thier children and spouses at local MWR or if available local cafes which were setup with the sole purpose of keeping family intergrity over the long arduous months spent overseas, as an interactive medium wheren parent and child could communicate with each other using a different media that could potentially be benificial as it would be akin to spending "quality time together" with mom and dad overseas.

    If I give a kid a ride, I'm bringing her somewhere to have my way with her.
    If I give a kid ice cream, I'm obviously luring her to my house.
    If I give a kid a hug, I'm probably thinking something inappropriate.
    If I give a kid advice, I'm probably corrupting her mind.
    If I so much as talk to the kid, I'm trying to seduce her.

    If I don't do anything at all and avoid kids like the plague, I'm just hiding my deviant tendencies and carrying them out in secret.

    Obviously. Simply logic, really.

    The question is... are you a worthy enough master to provide enough mana for my Paedophillia Marble?

    This is why people with logical/factual thinking need to stay living on this earth. People that use "stupid thinking" need to be killed and taken off this planet. This world doesn't need retards.

    This is not the real world. How can it possibly be? It's just one huge satire play. I mean..come on, people just can't be THAT dumb and derailed, can they?

    Now if only I could find the door to the auditorium. I'm sure that the audience is laughing their asses off. I want to have a good laugh too. ç_ç

    At least that's what I sometimes thought in the recent months when reading/watching the news. Not just on this site. -_-''

    I recall advertising for this game featured adults playing. Two very bored looking women chatting while fishing and watching fireworks. Guess the authorities are too busy with their witch hunts to watch TV.

    The sheer level of ignorance is mindblowing.
