Certainly Animal Crossing New Horizons Items the hairstyle wasn't deemed wrong when it was included in the game, so deciding to punish a player for not holding to obsolete workplace standards in a match appears to be completely irrelevant.A balanced view of cultural appropriation demands nuance. Nuance requires context. The internet rewards lack of context and virtue signaling. Added to this, the impersonal nature of online communication (even visually presented in video, by way of example) means our ordinary human tendency to assume the worst in others can spiral / snowball.

I had been from the Twitter animal crossing community around the time this occurred. I recall reading a huge twitter thread"exposing" Fifi of being a repeatedly problematic animal crossing participant, changing usernames always after being prohibited, and screenshots along with testimonies of racist and other problematic behaviour. If I recall correctly, minimal investigation was required to verify that the entire thread was a lie and also proof was made to fuel the mob against her. The new bunch of hairs introduced to this game were intended for cultural addition for AC fans, imo. I think that the buns look like afro puffs instead of space buns, but a hate mob wasn't necessary. I essentially unfollowed all creature crossing accounts and assessed out of Twitter for a while from this. Too much drama for such a very simple and wholesome game.

The thing that I find especially odd about this whole issue is that folks appear to think that it matters what the in game hair model is assumed to be.

In minecraft, if I use a single fence block to hang a glowstone from the ceiling, then it's not a weapon, it is a chandelier chain/rope. Even if the hairstyle was named'Afro Puffs' in game and presented as such, If I needed to kitchen items new horizons make a character with space buns and there was no closer hairstyle then I would use it. The article isn't ambiguous at all about the intentions of the plan, so they are definitely space buns.
