When did they say that Resetti was inappropriate?
Anyway, yeah...nudity is not harmful to children. Wanton sexuality? Perhaps. Nudity is literally life.

Aww I miss Resetti.
I suppose it’s because the statue doesn’t make little kids cry but Resetti does lol
He never made me cry...but since I’m always turning off without saving, in the back of my mind I was always a little bit scared of him. I figured if I do it just enough times , maybe one day he would reset my town.

every so often, I get NSO 🤷
I'll admit I never grew out of that 'awkward giggle' phase with nudity in art (although, in this case, it's more because I share my island with people, and I also had to experience their reactions to David as well LOL) but I'm actually glad they didn't censor artwork. I mean, not to throw around 'the human body is a work of art' and all, but it is just a very normal thing.
Resetti... I was terrified of him
I'm not sure why he'd be deemed 'inappropriate,' though. I don't hate his character, I wouldn't mind him coming back at all, but please God don't yell at me, I was a kid with anxiety on the Gamecube and now I'm adult with anxiety on the Switch XD

I mean, it's a piece of art that exist IRL, when you go with children to a museum and there is nudity whatever in form of a painting or statue then they would see it too, it's not like you would cover their eyes everytime when you see such kind of art thinking it could be harmful for them. It's the human body after all. It's another topic when it's about pornographic stuff, but this is not the case here. Therefore, I think it's not a big deal if a game like Animal Crossing shows something like this.
As for Resetti, I never found him inappropriate and imo, some people just exaggerated when it came to Resetti's behavior. His job was to teach you a lesson about not quitting the game without saving, he had to be a bit rough, otherwise nobody would have taking him seriously. However, I guess Resetti is not in New Horizons simply because he has no purpose anymore. Since the game has the auto-save feature, someone like him is pretty much pointless, as sad as it might be.

You'd be surprised with the way some people are. Lol.
Really, that type of behavior is more damaging for a child than anything else. I feel like it sexualizes something that shouldn't be. Probably changes the whole way that a developing child thinks about nudity. But, again...there are plenty of people out there who do act that way.
I do find it really funny that they chose a nude statue. Like they could have chosen any artwork but they have a naked man and also semi-naked woman. Which of course doesn't bother me at all but it's the inconsistency that I find really amusing/confusing.
I'm glad this thread was created, as I've seen quite a few things that I don't think are appropriate for children in this game. As a mother of five, I'd say this is absolutely inappropriate, along with the tarot cards, astrology, etc. I don't understand how Resetti is considered not cool, but that stuff is fine. The game would not be less enjoyable if these types of things were left out. Also, I would have bought tons of AC Christmas presents for our kids, but decided not to because of this... not sinking more money into it.

......its a work of art that is not presented in a sexual way so its appropriate for all ages. The human body doesn't always have to be sexualized.
Also why is Resitti "inappropriate"? Is it just because he could be "scary" to young kids?

I honestly can't tell if you are being serious or sarcastic.
But, if you are serious, what is inappropriate about classic art, star constellations and their myths, and cards? I am curious since I obviously don't share that mindset.
this definitely comes down to personal opinion, and how parents want to parent their children. like @Lake just stated with their own views for their own children; where as if my mother were posting here, she'd be all for tarot cards and astrology, etc., to be shown to me or my younger sister because in her beliefs those things are fine.
it really boils down to personal preferences.
i don't personally mind nudity when it's in an appropriate setting like this; the human form is beautiful in every way and we shouldn't discount or discourage it. especially in and embodiment that has been created and preserved for generations.
can someone explain to me what's wrong with the mole, though? being new to new horizons, i literally have no idea what could be scary about him beyond his appearance

He would yell at you really badly if you quit without saving.

Yes, I understand not all parents dislike the things I dislike. I just think it would make more business sense if the more controversial things were left out. I think anyone who is fine with those things would still buy the game (and other merchandise) if those things were left out, but someone who doesn't like those things is going to avoid purchasing due to that. Had I known it was in the game prior to buying it, I would have not bought it and, now that I know, it's definitely affecting future AC purchases.
but.. but why?
i mean, yeah, closing without saving isn't optimal, but if someone wants to quit, let them without having a fictional character there to yell at them? that's so weird does anything happen now in NH when you don't save and quit?
My niece, who was 8, would constantly shut off the game without saving. I always had to deal with the consequences. Drove me crazy.
Post automatically merged:
I agree with you on the tarot and astrology. I'm sure this is an unpopular opinion, but I don't like it. My sister made a very creepy town that has blood and pentagons, murder, etc. I've seen simular ones on you tube as well. I wouldn't want my younger children seeing that either.

It was just how it was.
I don't know what the intention was (I didn't make the game), but it really reads as something put in place to discourage resetting to do something differently. One of the big lines that was said is that "ya can't reset life", so it was probably there to teach a life lesson about only being able to do things once and to make the best of things if they don't turn out the way you want them to.It is just a different philosophy.
Because David is one of the greatest pieces of art created by one of the greatest artists, Michelangeo.
While I understand each parent raises their children in their own standards and morals, you honestly can not say David is controversial. It is a statue that is supposed to represent life and beauty and skill. It's a part of history that has still influence in a certain way in our(mostly Western) culture today.
Resetti is a mole who was kinda rude according to some people and made some kids cry.

i think the point of resetti was to teach kids to follow instructions, show that their actions can have consequences, and point out how real life isn't a game -- you can't reset, so try to make the most of it and not screw it up. i played wild world for the first time when i was 6/7, and he never bothered me, personally, in any game. he was much more mellow in NL, too, and his brother was even more so. do i think having him literally scream at kids was a good idea? no, not really, but the intention behind the character was good and the lessons he was supposed to teach were quite important/meaningful, so i would've preferred it if they'd just made him nicer instead of removing him altogether. (i know he's supposedly the rescue service responder, but.)
