Random: Animal Crossing's New Update Implies The Existence Of Guillotines

I wanted the guillotine back and they’ve only gone and done it. Nook is absolutely first on the block.

...Well that's one way to move out villagers

I still use guillotines daily, what's so shocking? Sometimes a neighbor complains about it being in my front yard, but upon using it they never complain again!

This article is trying really hard to be woke.

Animal Crossing also implies that properly-portioned humans once existed, genitals and all. Scandalous!

@Thatsalie wait, are you serious? Buddy, these politics are almost 300 years old 😂

@Silly_G

Or those are just the animal word equivalent of fursonas, fleshsonas

@Thatsalie it’s a factual history lesson/fun fact/fast fact. Nothing “woke” to find here.

Like @kategray says, it’s 300 years old politics.

@Zuljaras I thought so, and this was one of the LESS gross ones I found, trust me!!

I’m more disturbed by the noose in Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door near the main town entrance.

Interesting... It would be a strange thing to add as furniture, I must say.

Incidentally, the E-rated The Sims: Bustin' Out (GBA) also contained a decorative guillotine object, and at one point in the game, there is a scene where the antagonist has held the protagonist's uncle hostage in his own home, implying that he intended to behead him with said guillotine.

The paintings and other art stuff probably imply more things than just guillotines to exist within the animal crossing world tbh.

@Silly_G The Sims: Bustin' Out is one of my FAVOURITE GAMES but it's also......... incredibly weird

Surely in many ways Tom Nook is the Elite Noble man and we are just the peasants. Would it be wrong to chop off his head?

Would that mean there’ll be a Reign of Terror and Napoleon becomes the leader of the island?

I don't think real world history being heavily implied in AC's world is a big surprise. I mean every other seasonal item includes details on what holiday or event it represents, meaning it's full of real world history. Which means things used to kill people would also exist. Like knives, or cannons. Or that thing that looked like an electric chair in New Leaf, lol. All kinds of things are implied in AC. Like all female kangaroos are single mothers and even some art details reference the artists sex life etc.
That said, I'd bloody love it if we got an actual guillotine in NH! Or any other kind of weapon for that matter.

@Zuljaras “While at it add electric chair, the rack, "iron maiden", spike chair, hanging post etc.”

Iron Maiden.......... Excellent!
<guitar rift>

@beepboop368 lolol so true!

@Thatsalie

The Storming of Bastille in AC universe was probably just, like, a fishing tournament on the bridge. The rebels wore the funny hats and they won the tournament.

Then they all had tea and cake afterwards.

I've been trying to create a guillotine using whatever I could throw together in Animal Crossing. Nothing seems to work well.

@KateGray You must be brave to post an article like this: I would not stick my neck out like that.

I'm going to be that guy

So if there was a French Revolution in Animal Crossing, there was a Reign of Terror. And 16,000 sentenced deaths and 10,000 dead in prison waiting on a sentence.

Ah political power struggles after the revolution. Always the overlooked parts of freedom

I'm much more disturbed by the fact that this implies we won't be getting another update until mid-July, and this one already does so little...

Kind of comforting know somewhere out there in our world animal crossing may be real.

Pretty sure it's just a Plok costume.

Ok, this was too dumb and unfunny.

@Silly_G I LOVE Bustin' Out on GBA! It was easily one of the best PC-to-Console-to-Handheld ports ever!

Come on, no mention of the Smurfs?

Didn't they already have electric chairs as furniture in New Leaf?

@KateGray Isn't ACNH celebrating Bastille Day enough to imply guillotines, why do the hats matter? You can talk, and most people do, about Bastille Day w/o the hats ever coming up, but nobody talks about Bastille Day w/o mentioning guillotines. 😉

ACNH could be giving out baguettes for Bastille Day, it'd still all be about using the guillotines to slice your bread. 😁

@KateGray These politics are way more than 300 years old. The first christians almost 2000 years ago were much like the "woke" of today. They also destroyed old statues that no longer corresponded to the cool new philosophy of the day. Look how christianity is demonized now.
Any how, none of this stuff is worth fighting over. I prefer video games:)

I'm telling you, AC may look like a nice innocent game, but in my eyes is the darkest game Nintendo has in it's hands

If only we could do this hear in america and in the current year

It's quite a stretch to link Phrygian caps directly to guillotines, that's why I agree seeing a woke aspect in this text.
In every French town hall there's always a picture, a bust or a statue of Marianne de France wearing such a cap, even the standard post stamps and the French Euro cent coins show her with the cap.
In France she's just as common as the Queen in England and the Bald Eagle in the US.

wtf are you on

@Thatsalie ikr lmfao

sad to see they are trying to celebrate Bastille Day...

@w00dpecker Did you change your avatar extra for this comment? Or are you a royalist all year long?
