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.

Ok... I can see how they can get that, but wow... that's just... I'm speechless at this.
So if I go and buy this game at a store and the clerk sees me as one of these predators, they'll call the police on me? This is ridiculous!
Um... I play this game for a little bit nearly every day. Don't really even use the online capabilities, and I know a lot of adults who enjoy this game who are pretty definitely not even slightly interested in molesting little kids. Funnily enough, I live in mid MO. I might have to make a few nasty phone calls here.
The message I'm getting here is that it's normal for someone of my age to want to play a game where I shoot things up until they explode... that's ok, it's normal. But if I want to make a little theme town (Earthbound in my case), plant some trees and pay off my mortgage, clearly I must want to give children a nice dicking. Seems a bit backwards to me.
Blatant misguided paranoia always irks me.
OMFG A PAEDOPHILE, QUICK, CALL THE COPS!
dont forget!!
bring the UNICEF officer!!
we must protect 2D loli to...
what the police try to do is a faggotry
"Funnily enough, I live in mid MO. I might have to make a few nasty phone calls here."
I wish you the best of luck. Hopefully it won't be Andy Anderson picking up the phone.
I emailed him, and gave him my name as well. I was civil and constructive about it. Though if his judgment is that Animal Crossing is a danger, he would probably construe this place as a pedophile haven.
Well, I feel as though maybe I was a little too nice. So here's his email: AAnderson@boonecountymo.org
Congratulations, Anon. Now please someone e-mail the Animal Crossing thing from Kotaku linked below to him, attached to some polite comments about his statement that do not include the phrase "pants-on-head retarded" more than twice.
That's true I own it too and all my friends who I sometimes play with are all over 20.
Even if you were looking to molest little kids. You would first have to fine them and convince them to give them your friend code. Which would mean they are on a chat site of some kind. Every one knows going on the internet when your above 18 means your a petifile.
NOT TRUE! You could also be a potential spree killer in case you are playing first-person shooters or a terrorist if you are using Google Maps or like to play Counterstrike.
That's why you only buy online.
Very cunning. That way the police only get your credit card purchase history, address and bank details.
hm.. so that's a really good reason to get rips from the net. Like how every american should download their loli manga ilegally, because he otherwise is sure to be imprisoned.
Police drives honest buyers in delinquency.
Any adult buying a game rated 'E' is a pedophile now! Didn't you get the memo?
I dont even owned a wii..
Hi law enforcers. Please die.
O shit they found out
hurry, get them out of the closet
hide them under the couch!!! before they arrive!!
T-T wish i had a wii ....im a poor loicon :*( someone buy me a wii!!!!!
Hi, I would like to know if you're interested in the small sum of 10 Million American Dollars. I'm Nigerian royalty.
Sounds like something out from spam e-mails, lol.
that guy sounds legit, I mean his Nigger royalty.
lol I think they're thinking a little much about the pedophilia possibility
people are getting more and more paranoid......
perhaps too paranoid for their own good...
Hopefully they all die out soon...
The sheer level of ignorance is mindblowing.
Muwhahahaha
Sometimes I just dislike people of authority >.<
This does not bode well for anyone. The gaming population grows older everyday. Next thing you know there'll be max age restrictions on games. Can't play games if your over 18.
CG+13
Children Strongly Cautioned
Your Parents Might Be A Paedophile
GOD DAMN NO. My games my classic gameing noooo!!!
Oh no! You mean parents might have to supervise their children's online activities?
It was bad enough getting leered at when buying DOAX, now I get the same looks for Animal Crossing too?
You know, that's basically what I thought when I read that part of the article. Had a good chuckle. It's too bad that there are parents out there that would be pissed off over this because the police aren't doing their job...
It's also too bad that lots of parents are like my dad, totally technologically illiterate. Because of that, and the time constraints of making enough money with either dual income or w/e to keep afloat, they have no interest or ability to learn enough of what's going on to monitor their children's online activity...
no. it's your kids that have to supervise you playing games if you're over 18
Those bastards have gone too far this time! Lets all buy a copy and do stuff
Rated E for Everyone*
*Except adults
LOL
they're too young to see this kind of stuff?
A CO rating will be introduced before 2015, mark my words.
Even though it's out for Wii too, no Animal Crossing post is complete without this story: http://cache.kotaku.com/assets/resources/2007/11/animalcrossing_mirror.jpg
Someone should show this story to those police, then punch them all in the face.
that story was so bittersweet.
I cried a single tear.
...*tear*
I curse you for my manly tears.
I curse for my manly almost tears :/
*sniff* *sniff*....I doubt its a true story....but still, sad.
Gah, I still cry when I read that T_T
..wait, aren't those letters/gifts sent from your IN-GAME mother? It couldn't have been the dude's mother, since you can only send one letter to the future to yourself :V lol
He had a character in the game, he just never played it. We're talking about the original Animal Crossing, you know.
manly tears swell my tearducts. touching story, regardless if it was real or not.
manly tears everywhere.
The police just want to find some excuse to get free wiis. Cuz “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.” What retards... They invented the friend code because of this...
Lol, do polices there only get payed $50 per month? If all they do is this kind of shit, then they surely deserve it.
Yes, we all know adults who play videogames are all pedophiles, assassins, serial killers, robbers, lunatics, grown up childs, irresponsibles, lazy, social inepts, rejects of society, ignorants, illiterates, predators, deviants, sinners, perverts... did I forget something?
Oh, yeah, just forgot to add one thing: That, according to the most stupid ignorant brainless people of the world.
Statements like that to me only points out the people who should be out of their jobs, specially if they are judges, politicians, law enforcers or journalists.
He has absolutely no basis on the crap he said. He doesn't get to say what adults can or cannot play... acting like some sort of God who knows it all.
Many of these people have delusions of Godhood so that's their basis of what adults can or cannot play. Although the journalists are similar to Artefact, they are in it for sales of their newspaper, nothing more.
Arterfact is in it for the lulz
Most of the time it's just the politicians who are err.. out of touch with the real world. Most judges and policeman are far more connected to reality. At least that's what the situation is like over here.
What's wrong with USA and UK (maybe Australia too) these days? They are clearly the western strongholds of puritanism (I would have said something worse but I want to be subtle).
I think I have a little bit of wicked mind but would never imagine that kind of usage for a game, but even if there is a very small percentage doing so, fuck it, let them do it. Should we turn our lives upside down for a small minority that wants to fuck real kids? What's the next step, maybe ban sex entirely to please stupid parents (and christian church)?
Ehh, it's fine to be blunt, but anyways, it's pretty much what Artefact has mentioned a few times in UK law related threads. The economy is collapsing, they are incompetent (and I would prefer it to be this way as long as they did NOTHING), and it's bread and circuses.
If the officials distract us peons with the evils that plague all of us peons and are successful, that means they can pass more ill-advised legislation through to us to oppress us. Nothing wrong with sex in Christianity btw, even for pleasure, as long as it's with your wife. Catholicism on the other hand I could not tell you.
But I digress. I wouldn't have thought of such a use for a game if these people DIDN'T TELL ME ABOUT IT. Having said that I'd only try to "groom" adult women, in so much as one can be sure of a person's age and sexuality.
Theres no reason for anyone to have any game other than the fact that they enjoy it.
Oh wow, they should be glad they have a job.
The next thing you know they'd claim any adult who happens to walks by the front gate of a kinder garden or primary school is a pedo...
They don't do that already? I'm shocked...and I'd be in a shitstorm of hurt if that were the case, as voting booths are often enough placed inside our American public schools, and our closest one is a primary school...
"It's a scheme to prevent men from voting, so that women can take control!!!11"
Mikee, is that you?
no it's not ore the post would be longer
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 world already is screwed up anyway
I broke out laughing after reading your comment and then looking at your avatar. lol nice, The Master.
“There is no reason an adult should have this game”
HAHA O WOW. Since I was legally an adult over a year and a half ago, I've been an "online predator" for over 18 months.
Animal Crossing is a HELLA FUN game and I will not have some retard police officer telling me which games I can and cannot enjoy.
Serious amount of uninformed, uneducated decisions being made out there it would seem.
Fucking phail! ACCF is awesome an adult doesn't have to be a paedophile to like animal crossing!
wow this is just funny but yet sad I'm serious
people who think any adult who plays this game is a "pedophile" or so called paedophile needs to seriously learn moar about gammin community hur hur
Well this is just a common "logic' nowadays. It is ok to show a movie with guys shootings, killing each other BUT it is not ok to show a movie with guys making love to each others. Welcome to the reality of human world!
Why don't you have a set over... my Animal Crossing house?
God Bless the USA! Manufacturing sensationalist witch-hunting fascism since 1952!
You mean since the Salem witch trials. At least there were actually communists about in the fifties...
Indeed...even though the pinko commie fag hunts were pretty overblown. Also...I seem to recall there being some sort of religious oppression being orchestrated even before this...though I don't know why. ._.
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.
I am the bone in your loli.
Hard is my rod, and soft is her flesh.
I have serviced over a thousand lolis.
Unknown to police,
Nor known to UNICEF.
Have withstood Agnes Chan's tirades to gaze upon many lolis.
Yet these hands will never grasp healthy breasts.
So, as I pray, 'Unlimited Paedo Works'
Be my servant and together we can obtain the Loli Grail!
I ask of you again.... Are you my master?
The question is... are you a worthy enough master to provide enough mana for my Paedophillia Marble?
Is there anyone whom is? I CALL FORTH ICY-NEE-SAN!
"I have a secret I haven't told you...I'm a lolicon."
Over 9000days since the death of his mentor,
strange delicious caek floods /h/,
and he finds himself drawn into a battle between lolicon called "Pedobears"
But people are lolicons if they are attracted to little girls.
If you don't mind, I'll be adding this to my list of favourite quotes.
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. -_-''
Shit, they should do this kind of condamnation with less-known games to help boost the sales. Cross dressing... huh I mean: Animal Crossing already sells well.
Ha ha ha.
M.
Instead of minimum age requirements are we going to have maximum age requirements now?
"Hey lil sis can you go buy this game for me? I'm too old."
"But dear older brother, you cannot have this awesome caek unless you stroke my rocking tits."
>_>
Hmmm?
Oh I'm sure pedophiles will make use of this game for their greedy needs.
It seems funny how they single out all adults for buying a game such as this.
BS 'nuff said.
American ignorance at its best.
Translation: Police: "This game was so dull I can't see how anyone over the age of 8 could stand to play this unless there was another motive."
Not sure if this interpretation is more offensive or not, but I've never actually played any of the games m'self.
If it's anything like Harvest Moon, then I might find it fun for a short time only, then not like the rest of the series because I burned out on the first one of it I ever played.
They're addictive and fun. And yes it's kinda like harvest moon.
Haven't played the Wii one myself, but I used to play the DS one daily without fail without ever going online. And I still play Harvest Moon - I was playing it yesterday in fact.
So I'm totally going to be watched by the police for that now?
I'll say it again.....why can't these dick heads keep lolicon 2D? WHY?
3D predates 2D, therefore it's a time honored tradition...that's why :/
so....he's some angry white guy who still thinks stuff like anime as "chinese cartoons that teaches you how to rape little girl with squids"??
hey there little squiddies ... i mean, kiddies.
smoke another one cops :x I guess I'm an evil person because I own a copy on the DS (which my son plays, and never online). perhaps they need to stop fantasizing about every single way someone can try to victimize a child and go after the actual criminals. really I think police have too creative of minds, as if they're trying to figure out every little way a kid can become a victim (or just trying to get funding so they can have gaming systems to play...)
I think they are really the ones with the fucked up heads. Since they are the ones who thought of this and decided that Animal Crossing is the ideal game to pick up little kids... I'm pointing the finger back at them. Fucking sick stupid cops.
The problem is...their job is not to imagine how the possible victims will become victims, but to pursue perpetrators. Their imagination should only be used in the realms of their job of pursuit, not prevention.
I remember reading that in order to be a great detective, one must also be a great criminal.
I agree fully with the good officer. He clearly has the safety of central Missouri's children in mind. But I don't think he's going quite far enough. If we really want to keep adults from contacting children for evil purposes, it's not enough to just keep adults from playing Animal Crossing - they can just find another game or another means of doing so. I propose banning adults and children entirely. That should do it.
I propose death sentence for playing Animal Crossing
...does that mean that all that's left is ADOLESCENTS?! Welp, that's a Doomsday scenario if ever I saw one.
There goes Missouri down the drain.
Lol -_-
The conclusion is simple!
Wii lures pedophiles, molesters and child abusers to it's cause.
From what I have read on various gamesites, was that it was seeking out kids and soccer moms. Seems there was a hidden age/social group also.
Thanks for giving me the idea. Now I'm gonna molest some kids and bring them to the suicide.
My Mom plays Animal Crossing.
Is she pedo? :( lol.
I mis read that as anal crossing.
anyone who buy this game are pedos...
those people who said that, has no right to have children, as if we would think of the analogy, it means that, they're having children just for the sake of molesting them...
This has to be a joke... "Andy Anderson"? XD
Somebody posted his email above.
Sounds like the police were having some forbidden and naughty pedobear thoughts themselves to come to this silly conclusion. Sheesh.
I could of swore Ive seen a commercial with full grown women playing this game. The little boys on animal crossing better watch out.
We should separate adults from children while we are at it. Until children grown up they need to be placed into some government facility. They'll be safe there. Specially trained people will look over them. Oh wait…
Great idea! This will solve all of our problems, as there will no longer be pedophiles on the street.
*Starts writing his application "mhm, loli!"*
Someone is going to loose his badge for this if the condemned individuals get upset. How to they allow such vigilante wannabes enroll in the police in the first place is beyond me. One would think they have some kind of psychological test to keep such idiots out.
One of these days, I'm going to fill my laptop with a bunch of TrueCrypt volumes, all of them named in a manner that suggests CP.
Seeing the face of the self righteous puritan judge/jury/prosecutor when they get Rick Rolled would be the best day of my life and totally worth being thrown in prison for trolling the court.
Let's see...

.....
You, sir, are my hero forever starting from the day you actually do this. Be sure to post on the forums about it.
Don't they have anything better to do? Like, do some proper police work for once- get stuffed on donuts and be bullied by Onizuka clones.
Man, who listens to the cops anyway?
I lost all respect for 'em after they tried to beat up Ness and got their heads handed to 'em.
Hilarious! Now everyone's pedo!
At least, thanks to this statement some may want to buy the game now <_<
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).
Even though I enjoy the Wii version, I still love the N64/GCN version so much more.
Other versions just don't seem to have the same charm that kept me coming back to my GC since 2006...
does that mean the developers for the game are the god of paedophiles!? O_o
Ban the Interwebs!
Seriously, i lol'd at this shit.
He forgot to mention Pokemon! Let's catch some little kids with our poke"balls", since we're all Pedos.
oh yeah, btw... i play AC on my DS online every now and then, im almost 24 8F
paranoid, narrow-minded people who can say shit like this while being serious can't tell me whether i should play this or not. i don't play it, but if told not to, i'll most likely play it out of spite.
we have over 9000 animal crossing players
and they're all seducing children
Isn't the reason we mispell "raep" because we don't want it to come up on search engines? wouldn't it make sense to do the same for pedophile? "pedophiel" perhaps?
1000facepalms.jpg
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.
Get out of here with that.
If Pokemon actually has an Online system, the polices are most likely going to do the same too.
But... Pokemon DOES have an online system. o_o
Oh noes, then any long time Pokemon gamers will turn into paedophile once they turn 18..
Ah, so I do not have long to play this freely
Mr Anderson needs a seriously deep rear-end cameltoe, in the worst way.
My sister has Animal crossing for Wii and sometimes my mother play with it... OMG what should i do?!
Call the cops. Your mom is a pedophile.
Ok, thanks! O_O
...
STOP GIVING THEM IDEAS, YOU MORONS!!
the funny thing about this is that the commercials for animal crossing seem to be geared towards adults
Sorry for Lisa Kudrow and all those other celebrities advertising nintendo and animal crossing lol.
maybe the police have the MINORITY REPORT machine by now...
We just can hope Tom Cruise will save us
nah he'll be the first to go
Tom Cruise?
save us?
... you lost me.
"“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.”"
Wii...expensive?
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.
Of course Wii is expensive..... for them at least...
..who spent $700 to buy doughnuts.
Fuck that shit. I don't have that version of Animal Crossing, but that game rocks. I don't give a shit what those crappy police have to say. They can suck my big fat cock.
It's sure great to know that this is the kind of shit they are researching while someone is getting murdered and raped down the street.
We should email Mr. Anderson and inform him of the terrible misconceptions he has made. His email is AAnderson@boonecountymo.org
The trouble is I like fictional lolis, the real ones are scary as real people suck...and are scary....
Besides I hate mindless games like Animal crossing 0-o
Do they have any idea how many moms play this game? I highly doubt any of them are pedophiles, and if adult women can like Animal Crossing for its gameplay, there will definitely be adult men out there who like it too.
That is Just Stupid!
This Game Rocks even Off-line!
I'm as old as sin and I love this game... you can play for 4 years and never get bored!
OK, up until now I was buying games for my underage relatives. Now we just have to do it the other way. ^^

Do you see any kid playing the game at them? Nope. I see some young, adult women. Don't tell me...Are they child molesters? Quick, call the police to arrest them! XD
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.
they are insane
why call ALL adults who plays animal crossing pedophile
world world
okay, i might not have read all the previous comments (more like none) but i thought the appeal of wii was that it was a system for all ages. I like the game still even though i'm a HS senior
ok that is just stupid first your not a pedo if you play animal crossing or likely to turn into one. Then you invite ppl you know cause they have your friend code. Its a game for any age ok there are worst games and other systems where you can actually talk to someone while playing and they don't need a special code to do it
Well, I feel much better. - I've never played Animal Crossing...
I guess I'm not a pedophile. YAY! :P
---
Stupid Police are stupid.
isn't this how whatshisface? reyold? or somesuch, got his grubs on kids. or was he usin ds pictochat?
well srsly, it is possible if ya think about it. luckily i hate animal crossing. i'm content with shooting and blowing stuff up, no need to be creative.
unless its creating something to shoot and blow stuff up...like robots or something.
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.
i DARE you to call them peadophiles
>>Animal Crossing was used exclusively
Exclusively? This seems somewhat unlikely. Perhaps you mean extensively?
Oh no! They have to actually watch their children?!
I just bought this game about two weeks ago, and just turned 18 about three months ago. How can everyone be a pedophile if they own the game?
Some people just don't realize what the hell they're really talking about.
http://animalcrossingdaily.blogspot.com/
(read from bottom upwards)
ok if one game is causing this much controversy, what about all the anime movies, porn sites, and well anything anime??? japanese chinese oriental....30 yr old women look like their 12. and yet we get called pedophiles.
lolololololololololololololololol
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!
Andy Anderson.
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?
Try and think clearly on this.
this is stupid! land of the free? my ass
I like animal crossing, am nine-teen and quite sad that I'm apparently a pedophile. I didn't even know it too! :( well I'm off to go cry about my "problem"
