It's perfectly fine to have a crush on a villager. When I was 10, I had a crush on Wolfgang from Wild World, haha.

Eh, as long as when you /think/ about them and your crush on them you think of them as humans and not animals, I think it's fine. If you went out and was like "mmmmhmmmm, that [insert animal] is hot." I'd worry :p
 
I don't think it's weird. I mean, because personally there's nothing "pervy" about the way I look at my villagers. I've had a huge crush on K.K. since the first Animal Crossing, Wolf Gang too, but not in like.. well, like I said, pervy way. They're cute and totally precious but that's about it.
 
When I was really young and couldn't read very well, I would attempt to write letters to Iggy the goat, telling him we were going to get married and that I loved him. He was my absolute favorite character, and I thought he was adorable. I still think he's one of the cutest villagers!

I started a new file one day when I was better at reading, and began doing the same thing to Ace the bird. I would write several letters a day, asking him to marry me. It didn't help when Ace came to my house for my birthday, and gave me a Donkey Kong NES game to play. I was sure he loved me too! Then one day, when I asked if he hand any errands he needed help with, he mentioned that he had a girlfriend and asked if I'd plant flowers around his house to impress her. I remember being angry about it and trying to get him to move, acting like he'd cheated on me or something LOL.

It was a very innocent type of thing, where I wanted to marry the characters because they just so happened to be my favorites. It didn't occur to me that I was asking a goat or bird to marry me, and it wouldn't have mattered to me at the time anyway. I was 6 or 8 years old at the most, and it was probably more of an attachment I had developed towards them than anything else. Today I look back at it and think it was funny, and also very sweet that I would write love letters to them. Today I regard them as some of my most favorite characters, and if they hadn't been taken out of the games after the Gamecube, I swear they would both be in my town today.

I believe there is a difference in an attachment that makes you "love" something, as in care deeply for it, and the attachment that comes with romantic feelings. For most people, these villagers are the first kind I mentioned. Some might feel like the latter of the two, but for young players, I would say that most are probably just attached to the animals, sort of like you would be towards a friend.
 
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.
 
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.

This. I always picture them as gijinkas when I imagine scenes or what not in my head. It just makes more sense than trying to imagine a furry sort of thing that is human sized. I'm glad I'm not the only one. c:

That said, I sort of had a little "crush" on Monique when I started the game. I also think Marshal is cute. But I'm not a furry by any means. I think it's more of an AWWW SO CUTE HNNG thing. So no, it's not really weird.

idk, I had a crush on a guy who was nice to me. I didn't want to frickie with him. People can have crushes on people without it being just about the ability to do the do.
 
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:
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.

I don't really get crushes on villagers anymore now that I'm older. But I do still find a lot of them cute and fawn over them, especially the Jocks and Crankies.
 
I mean, as long as it's not sexual or anything I think it's okay... O.O
Because I totally have a love triangle, or square really, with Fang, Marshal, and Beau. They're such babes. cx
 
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.

Like, how in The Phantom Tollbooth, I like to imagine main character Milo as a total bishie, and I have a sort-of crush on him.
 
Who knows what drives people, until we really know how people work, nothing can really be called weird, can it? :)
