If you’ve played Animal Crossing, you know that it’s a game that’s filled with LGBTQ content. This game is loaded with LGBTQ references, inside jokes, and drag shows. The game has even been featured on Queer Eye! Bobby Burke even gave decorating advice to budding interior designers. Animal Crossing also features allusions to sexuality in subtle ways, such as rainbow clothing. If this doesn’t make you feel good, then the game isn’t for you.

CJ and Flick are roommates and business partners

The game’s characters, CJ and Flick, are friends who have remained friends for years. The pair’s relationship is reflected in the dialogue. They refer to each other as “partners,” but that’s a word reserved for same-sex couples like lawyers and doctors. However, neither CJ nor Flick have medical degrees or passed the bar. In addition, CJ and Flick live in a home with only one bed.

Nintendo is the creator of Animal Crossing, and it was widely praised for its gender-neutral characters. The game uses they/them pronouns when referring to players, and even mentions a lesbian romance comic. Unfortunately, Nintendo doesn’t officially acknowledge the gay relationship between C.J. and Flick, and fans have no choice but to continue shipping the two.

Both CJ and Flick refer to each other as “partners,” which some fans have interpreted as confirmation of their queer identity, while others interpret this as a sign of business partnership. However, in the official companion guide for Animal Crossing: New Horizons, the couple is referred to as “roommates” rather than partners. It’s also unclear whether they are romantically involved, but they are still referred to as roommates.

They’re not in a romantic relationship

While it may seem obvious to say that a gay couple is not in a romantic relationship, it’s not. The game’s gay characters were originally just business partners, but recent developments have allowed them to become romantic partners. In Animal Crossing: New Leaf, the characters are gay and straight, and a major role is played by Isabelle, who will declare her crush on almost any character.

In the recent New Horizons expansion, the hosts of the Fishing Tournament and Bug Catching Tournament are both gay. This makes CJ and Flick yet another gay couple in the game. While Nintendo has never acknowledged that they’re gay, they refer to each other as “roommates” and “business partners.” This sexism has been used to imply that the characters are gay, and it’s easy to see why the fans are confused by the game’s gender and sexuality.

In a new Animal Crossing game, the two characters aren’t in a romantic relationship, but they do work together. As the guidebook notes, the gay characters are working together. The game’s popularity was apparent immediately, with New Horizons topping the GfK charts in the United Kingdom in three days. It also has a plethora of new features and is the first to feature LGBT characters.

They’re just ‘bros’

The new game Animal Crossing: New Horizons introduces two new characters, gothic chameleon Flick and sporty beaver C.J. While Nintendo has insisted their character pairings are “roommates,” they are surprisingly romantic. Despite Nintendo’s claims that their relationship is “merely business” and “same sex”, the game’s fan community has embraced the new characters as gay.

The newest game in the Animal Crossing franchise, New Horizons, is an inclusive environment for LGBTQ+ players. The game’s gay and lesbian characters are not categorized by gender, and players are encouraged to wear whatever they like. Because characters aren’t gender-bound, they refer to one another as ‘bros’, regardless of their sexual orientation.

Other players have taken their animal-crossing experience a step further by making their own virtual utopias. In fact, players have started multiple Facebook groups and subreddits for their communities. They have also created their own online communities, and many have organized pride marches. In fact, some players have even recreated RuPaul’s Drag Race! But how do players express themselves?
