His catchphrase is adorable. I've never really cared about him, but after seeing this thread, I think I like him :'D

 

[mermaidshelf]

Aww, I admit I did find him a lil ugly but after this thread I changed my mind. He's a cutie and he doesn't deserve the vitriol he's receiving.

I don’t think he’s that bad. His weird design is like a quirk. The weird looking designs work for some villagers and just doesn’t for other villagers imo. I have no problem with people disliking or hating villagers. I don’t even have a problem with people hitting their villagers. Even if they’re the ones I love. I do have a problem when people judge others for liking/loving a villager though. Dat ain’t cool at all.

I don’t think it is okay to hit or “hate” villagers. But I do agree that you shouldn’t bully others for liking something they don’t like. My best friend hates Rodney and continually nags me to move Rodney out. But I don’t agree. I respect your opinion and you are right about not hating on others for liking certain villagers. Just don’t hit them with axes like I did when I first got him.

I actually am quite interested in having Rodney on my island after I get Leopold’s photo. He’s just out here, living life. Also, I’ll never get over this tweet.

Its funny because those same people who hated Rodney started to hate on Raymond too since he was becoming "too popular". No joke someone came to my island, where I still had Raymond with me and he told me something like "You should hang yourself for having this cat" Like what?! I reported him to Nintendo and the person has since been banned, but seriously. Do not threaten people just because you don't like a certain villager that they have on their island. My friend had to deal with this too when she had Judy and someone was being very rude for having her.

Like someone else mentioned everyone has different opinions on villagers as long as you don't shame them for having them. Feel like the whole Raymond being loved and of course Rodney getting so much hate was getting out of hand last year.

That is extreme! Yikes! Good thing you reported him—that level of toxicity has no place in a literal children's game. I hope you're doing okay and not letting it bother you!

It's strange how people feel justified in harassing people for going with the grain (popular villagers). Isn't that what they don't want to happen to those who go against the grain (unpopular villagers)? And isn't being able to play how you want, with a play style unique to you, the point of going against the grain? Sounds counterproductive and downright hypocritical to me.

Bottom line: Let people enjoy their villagers, whether it be Raymond or Rodney!

I personally love Rodney. His color blue is literally the color of my hair. He’s not one of my dream villagers as he doesn’t fit my theme, but I definitely do not hate him.

 

[Plainbluetees]

While I wouldn’t invite him to my island, I don’t understand the hate for Rodney. He really doesn’t look bad at all. In fact, his blue color is actually really cute.

 

[Millysaurusrexjr]

Rodney is Rad-ney

If they ever add more villager slots he is sure to have a place on my island

Maybe he'll give you his pic today?? Try soft resetting until you get the pic. That or take the L or the W (depending on your point of view) and accept Rodney into your life. ❤

 

[MapleSilver]

While I'm not the biggest fan of Rodney, I love how there's an almost 100 reply thread about him. Always nice to see the less popular villagers appreciated.

Rodney is always a dub i’ll figure it out by the end of the day haha. I totally should have done the soft reset but i gave Leopold his daily gift right away before i looked in the tent...
