Mmm, nah i don't think so.
They're very humanized - walking on two feet, human-like activities, speech, habits
When I think of an ac villager IRL i imagine them as a human, not an animal. As do people who may have a crush on a villager, i suppose? Like some sort of gikinja of the villager.
But if you have a crush on a certain villager and imagine them IRL as an animal and still have a crush on an animal then ye i guess it's weird zoophilia
Plus they're fictional so ya know.
I would say having a real 'crush' on a villager is a bit weird. I can imagine you really kind of developing a love for them, but a crush? no. especially when you're like 16? or older, I think having a crush on someone at that age isn't just because they're so nice... I mean.. I'd say if you have crush on someone you want to do the frick frack? (to put it like that haha, I don't want to be inappropriate c: )
I used to have Zell and Lopez and I have to say I really loved them, but I would never call it a crush...
I'm not trying to be mean or anything! Everyone for themselves you know, I respect everyones opinions. This is just mine.
I had a HUGE crush on Rasher in Wild World too! I was around 13 years old at the time, I think. And before that, it was Groucho in the Gamecube version.Don't worry, it's perfectly normal. You're not alone on this one. I mean heck, just look at my signature!
I had a similar experience when I was around 8 during my Wild World days. For some odd reason I really, really, really liked Rasher and I would always consider him my boyfriend. I would blush when he would say stuff like "I really like you! Never change!" Now that I look back on that memory... Ew, Rasher? Really? Haha I had no idea why I liked him, I just did. Maybe because I felt sorry for him?
But yeah, a lot of people have ACNL crushes. The fact that they're animals doesn't make it weird either, the only thing that makes bestiality wrong and obscure is the fact that animals irl do not contain that sort of emotion and can't reason behind true love like humans can. But these animals in Animal Crossing think exactly like humans and can reason and talk, so it's perfectly fine and nothing to worry about. c:
What's a furry
It's normal, everybody has a crush at least one villager.
Hell, it's normal to have crushes on fictional characters at least one point in life.
