Animal Crossing fans are pedophiles, according to Missouri cop photo

While it's great to see cops tackle the growing problem of sexual predation in an online world, misinformed finger pointing and jumping to suspect conclusions won't solve anything. Such is the case of Missouri cybercop Andy Anderson, who claims that he can't find a justifiable reason for an adult to be playing Animal Crossing, and those that do are most likely pedophiles. 

"There is no reason an adult should have [Animal Crossing: City Folk]," he explains. According to reports, Anderson then went on to say that any adult playing such games are "likely doing it for the wrong reasons." 

There's nothing wrong with looking into online gaming worlds as a potential grooming ground for sexual predators. That is to be encouraged. However, to basically imply that any Animal Crossing fans over the age of consent should be looked at as perverse is simply stunning. Don't get me wrong, I believe that those who love Animal Crossing have something wrong with them, but I'm not going to go so far as to suggest that they're all jerking off to Miley Cyrus. 

Besides, everybody knows that Animal Crossing fans are furries anyway.

I love the timing of this considering I wrote a blog urging Wii owners to get this game. But really, just when you think you've heard it all, in comes a guy like this spouting off large amounts of stupidity like that.

Despite the growth in the market due to the massive Wii sales to "new" gamers and their families, I still think that the bulk of the non-gaming public would likely agree with this fucktard of a Missouri copper.

I like how in the video the girl points to the Mayor (The turtle one) and says "This could be the man we are hunting in California!"
Or when the article states that you can do 'favors' in order to get to the next level...despite having no levels in Animal Crossing.

It really made my day that much better.

Wow. Just wow. According to this guy, liking Animal Crossing makes somebody a pedo essentially 'because he says so.' This is just another case of people who don't know much about games pulling an opinion straight from their ass.
First it was 'violent video games make you into a serial killers' now this. What problems will we blame on video games next?

Animal Crossing's adult appeal is all about child rape. The same can be said for all Pixar movies, McDonald's brand foodstuffs, and Disney themed fun parks.

If kids like it, then adults can't, or they must be diddlers. Any adult that liked Wall-E is a child rapist.

Also, Mylie Cyrus is a trollop who eats men's souls and turns them into crazed maniacs with demon-erections (otherwise known as demorections).

Missouri "cybercop"? This implies that there are computers and gaming consoles in Missouri which, in turn, means that there is electricity in Missouri. You learn something new everyday.

Fuck tha police
Comin straight from the underground
Young nigga got it bad cuz I'm brown
And not the other color so police think
They have the authority to kill a minority

Fuck that shit, cuz I ain't tha one
For a punk muthafucka with a badge and a gun
To be beatin on, and throwin in jail
We could go toe to toe in the middle of a cell

Fuckin with me cuz I'm a teenager
With a little bit of gold and a pager
Searchin my car, lookin for the product
Thinkin every nigga is sellin narcotics

You'd rather see me in the pen
Then me and Lorenzo rollin in the Benzo
Beat tha police outta shape
And when I'm finished, bring the yellow tape
To tape off the scene of the slaughter
Still can't swallow bread and water

I don't know if they fags or what
Search a nigga down and grabbin his nuts
And on the other hand, without a gun they can't get none
But don't let it be a black and a white one
Cuz they slam ya down to the street top
Black police showin out for the white cop

Ice Cube will swarm
On any muthafucka in a blue uniform
Just cuz I'm from the CPT, punk police are afraid of me
A young nigga on a warpath
And when I'm finished, it's gonna be a bloodbath
Of cops, dyin in LA
Yo Dre, I got somethin to say

Fuck the police (4X)







M. C. Ren, will you please give your testimony to the jury about this fucked up incident.>

Fuck tha police and Ren said it with authority
because the niggaz on the street is a majority.
A gang, is with whoever I'm stepping
and the motherfuckin' weapon
is kept in a stash box, for the so-called law
wishin' Ren was a nigga that they never saw

Lights start flashin behind me
But they're scared of a nigga so they mace me to blind me
But that shit don't work, I just laugh
Because it gives em a hint not to step in my path

To the police I'm sayin fuck you punk
Readin my rights and shit, it's all junk
Pullin out a silly club, so you stand
With a fake assed badge and a gun in your hand

But take off the gun so you can see what's up
And we'll go at it punk, I'ma fuck you up

Make ya think I'm a kick your ass
But drop your gat, and Ren's gonna blast
I'm sneaky as fuck when it comes to crime
But I'm a smoke em now, and not next time

Smoke any muthafucka that sweats me
Or any assho that threatens me
I'm a sniper with a hell of a scope
Takin out a cop or two, they can't cope with me

The muthafuckin villian that's mad
With potential to get bad as fuck
So I'm a turn it around
Put in my clip, yo, and this is the sound
Ya, somethin like that, but it all depends on the size of the gat

Takin out a police would make my day
But a nigga like Ren don't give a fuck to say

Fuck the police (4X)


Police, open now. We have a warrant for Eazy-E's arrest.
Get down and put your hands up where I can see em.
Just shut the fuck up and get your muthafuckin ass on the floor.
[huh?]>


and tell the jury how you feel abou this bullshit.>

I'm tired of the muthafuckin jackin
Sweatin my gang while I'm chillin in the shackin
Shining tha light in my face, and for what
Maybe it's because I kick so much butt

I kick ass, or maybe cuz I blast
On a stupid assed nigga when I'm playin with the trigga
Of any Uzi or an AK
Cuz the police always got somethin stupid to say

They put up my picture with silence
Cuz my identity by itself causes violence
The E with the criminal behavior
Yeah, I'm a gansta, but still I got flavor

Without a gun and a badge, what do ya got?
A sucka in a uniform waitin to get shot,
By me, or another nigga.
and with a gat it don't matter if he's smarter or bigger
[MC Ren: Sidle him, kid, he's from the old school, fool]

And as you all know, E's here to rule
Whenever I'm rollin, keep lookin in the mirror
And there's no cue, yo, so I can hear a
Dumb muthafucka with a gun

And if I'm rollin off the 8, he'll be tha one
That I take out, and then get away
And while I'm drivin off laughin
This is what I'll say

Fuck the police (4X)


The jury has found you guilty of bein a redneck,
whitebread, chickenshit muthafucka.
Wait, that's a lie. That's a goddamn lie.
I want justice! I want justice!
Fuck you, you black muthafucka!>

Fuck the police (3X)

Animal Crossing + Wii Speak = Easy Kiddie Targets
mrplow8's Avatar
mrplow8 at 03/17/2009 23:25
If a kid is talking to a pedophile on AC then they must have exchanged friend codes. If they exchanged friend codes, then they already met some other way. Pedophiles can't meet children through Animal Crossing.

The people making these complaints have no idea what they're talking about. They think that NPCs are potential predators. They're completely clueless.

The thing that irritates me is that these people are the reason for friend codes. Nintendo has the FC system just to make people like this happy, and they still complain. People like this just want to be upset. They look at anything other people are enjoying and they find a problem with it. They don't fact check or try to educate themselves about the subject in any way. They only believe what they want to be. You can't make these people happy. They don't want to be happy, they just want to "take a stand" and try to vilify the things that make other people happy.
