Clearly the Animal Crossing Bells hairstyle was not deemed incorrect as it was included in the game, so deciding to punish a player for not holding to obsolete workplace standards in a match seems completely irrelevant.A balanced view of cultural appropriation requires nuance. Nuance requires context. The internet rewards lack of context and merit signaling. Additional to this, the impersonal nature of online communication (even visually presented in video, for example) means our ordinary human tendency to assume the worst in others may spiral / snowball.

I had been from the Twitter animal crossing community around the time this happened. I recall reading a enormous twitter thread"exposing" Fifi of becoming a repeatedly problematic animal crossing participant, changing usernames always after being banned, and screenshots and testimonies of racist and other problematic behavior. If I recall properly, minimal evaluation was required to verify that the whole thread was a lie and proof was made to fuel the mob against her. The new bunch of hairs introduced into this game were intended for cultural inclusion for AC fans, imo. I think the buns look like afro puffs rather than space buns, but a hate mob was not vital. I essentially unfollowed all animal crossing accounts and assessed from Twitter for a while out of this. Too much play for such a very simple and healthful game.

The thing I find especially weird about this whole issue is that people appear to believe that it matters what the in game hair model is assumed to be.

In minecraft, should I use one fence block to hang a glowstone from the ceiling, and then it is not a fence, it is a chandelier chain/rope. Even if the hairstyle was named'Afro Puffs' in game and introduced as such, If I needed to make a character with space buns and there was no nearer hairstyle then I would use that one. The post isn't buy animal crossing bells new horizons ambiguous at all concerning the aims of the plan, so they are unquestionably space buns.
