Missouri Police say adults shouldn't play Animal Crossing

Heh...no.

I'm sorry, Missouri, but I've lost some respect for your police force.

The only way that an adult could get a friend code of a child is if
the child and adult meet on some kind of forum and then exchange
codes. Animal Crossing is not just for kids. It is just a relaxing
game that doesn't have shooting or killing going on. I am part of an
adult community that plays this game. We are all adults. And we
enjoy this game because it is relaxing. There is no violence or
meaness to the game. NOW YES, there are some people out there that
may use this game to try and talk to kids but again if parents are
involved in their kids lives they should know what is going on. I
think it is sad that it is okay for the adult child to drink and
smoke, etc. but play a relaxing game is off limits. WAKE UP
PARENTS...be a part of your child's life and make sure all is okay.
For the adults who play in our community that have children who also
play, those parents are right there watching. So yes please let us
promote all adults to play only violent and killing games because
that will make our world such a better place. And parents please
don't watch what your kids are doing because again that is SO helpful
as well. Adults playing Animal Crossing is not the problem in the
world....it is parents who aren't responsible for their kids.

I live in Mo and don't have respect for the police.

Seriously though guys, every state and country has one hick town with a Sheriff who's out of touch trying to make a name for himself.

I have a problem with this.

I happen to play Pokemon quite frequently, and it's not for any reason that one could consider "malicious or offensive." I simply enjoy playing Pokemon, they're extremely fun/addictive games and I've been playing them since I was eight years old. I'm now 18, a World of Warcraft player, fan of the Grand Theft Auto series, an avid beer drinker (illegally, of course), smoke cigarettes regularly, and am not a virgin (not even close, if I may).

So, I ask you American judicial system, what is the harm in an adult playing kids games?

It's actually kind of ironic, because most adults play "kiddie" games, or the more childish ones. Yet, teens and little kids are more obsessed with mature games for mature gamers such as themselves.

Holy shit, it's that kind of thinking that messes up the police.

I would say STFU to this thread, but holy crap has it been entertaining.

So, when I heard the news that every adult who plays Animal Crossing is a pedophile, well, I figured Animal Crossing needed a hero, someone who could be tough on these criminals like they deserve. I made a video of it, of course. Animal Crossing with Rorschach:

But who watches Tom Nook?

When you keep the 12 yearolds out of my games of Call of Duty *Protip: It is rated mature.* then you have a right to bitch about how pedophiles are hunting your poor, widdle youth on teh livz, PSWEBS3, and WIIZINLINE. Until then, politely shut the fuck up Officer Dontknowdick.

Seriously... Adults are suppose to threat kids like they are fucking retards, stay away from them, shield them from the "horrible" world outside, then your surprised when one shoots up a school, looses touch with the world, or becomes some old mans bitch? Instead of forming bonds with out adults, like children have for ages, they should treat everyone like a pedo-rape waiting to happen. I will be so fucking happy when my generation, you know.. then ones with fucking common sense, takes over this country and we can shove all you idiots in the old-farts home where you belong. You shits are running this country into the ground.

Now excuse me. I have a date on animal crossing with this 10 year old I met while trying to get apples for my town. Still don't have enough bells for her a gift. Cheapass Nook.

I spent 10 months on Animal Crossing: Wild World, and let me tell you: there were NO police trying to do me in online. I think it's safe to say that it doesn't matter what this guy thinks, you can't arrest someone for playing a game.

We must keep all those impressionable adults from playing those devil-spawn kiddie games! Instead, go play something wholesome, like Custer's Revenge!

I haven't been playing City Folk regularly like I did when I got it. I mostly play AC:WW

And I'm careful who I give my FC to.

A bit of me wishes that this article gets tons of exposure. Like complete over exposure and bad plublicity for the news team and this crime fighting group and hopefully it will show how ridiculous this article is.

The only way that these "reporters" and "crime fighters" can see how ridiculous they are being is if everyone turns around and holds the article up in their face.

Like they say in Missouri, I ain't goin back tuh Missouri.
