Yeah, because we were all doing mentally fantastic when Animal Crossing New Horizons launched. Remind me again, when was that again? Oh right. Just in the heart of 2020 pandemic quarantine when everybody was losing their shit, and storming state capitol buildings trying to force the government to reopen businesses, and doing pushups outside gyms as cops killed black men and triggered riots across the country.
Yeah. And it allowed people to communicate and socialize without risk. It allowed people to have fun despite the dire circumstances and show off their creativity and goof off with friends amd stangers instead of focusing on the doom and giving into it.
It helped people’s mental wellness during a time where everything was not okay. To some, it made it bearable. That’s all. Ain’t nothing wrong with that.
