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.

    "“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.

    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.

    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.

    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?

    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.

    If Pokemon actually has an Online system, the polices are most likely going to do the same too.

    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...

    Okay I call bullshit on the officers for a couple of reasons:

    1) Anyone is allowed to play any game they want. So does that mean older people who watch E-rated movies are pedophiles? No. That's like accusing people of crimes because they decide to watch a disney movie.

    2) Obliviously it takes an adult to even BUY the game in the first place. Something called "money" which adults and older people make. Ever consider parents might play this game with their children?

    3) Unless there is SPECIFIC PROOF that someones is saying inappropriate things on an E-rated game or obvious luring, then what's the problem?

    4)Parent responsibility to monitor and raise their child. Not the rest of the world.

    5) I'm 18 and i'll play any god-well game I please. I brought it, and i'll play it. The wii is known to be relaxing and the game might be cute for some people.

    There is nothing wrong with this.

    So parent's can't play games with their kids?

    Bullcrap. As always supervise your kids regardless of where they are. Just don't let them roam free on the internet it's like letting them roam free around outside.

    And if their too young then don't put them on the internet to began with. If your scared of the net then don't let your kids use it until their older.

    Duh.
