Thanks. Kids crying now.

The Animal Crossing series is one of the most wholesome around. Non-violent and family-friendly, Animal Crossing games are open-ended and allow players to do as they wish. Tasks that players can partake in include catching creatures, befriending talking animals, interior design, gardening, and more recently, terraforming. The most recent addition to the franchise is Animal Crossing: New Horizons, which boosted morale during the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020, and subsequently became very popular.

For these reasons, you might assume that all online content relating to the game is wholesome too. You would assume wrong. The Animal Crossing fanbase isn’t as innocent as you’d think, and are living proof that absolutely anything can be ruined. Whether it be the showing off of their dirty minds to the sharing of hilarious in-game finds, these fiends are the sole reason Brewster refuses to return.

Whilst nowhere online is safe, online social platforms are saturated with sacrilege. For those of you who want to ruin your day, be sure to check out these utterly cursed Animal Crossing: New Horizons moments.
