Animal Crossing is PEOPLE! No, really! Theorists, this may be one of the most unexpected theories I've put out recently, but once you see it, you will never unsee it. I have gathered TONS of evidence that our player character is only SEEING the villagers of Animal Crossing as animals. They are not, in fact, ACTUAL talking, anthropomorphic animals. Have I said the word animals enough yet? Well get ready Loyal Theorists, I am about to blow your mind! Animals!

    Peaceful game: exists Matpat: we don’t do that here
  • @eggmilk770
    I just imagine matpat playing any game for the first time “This game is really nice, i bet that there is a murderer rabbit somewhere
  • @liviemillie6455
    When I played this game and saw the owl, octopus and frogs, my first thought was that they were "less evolved" versions. Kind of like what other apes are to us.
  • @Muyiam
    Okay but literally in the museum you can see a line in the floor that describes the evolution of living beings and you can clearly see that the villagers are just animals that have evolved into a more intelligent beings alongside humans. Besides, you can constantly see more humans all across the game, in your island, in other islands... Humans are just another species that live in the Animal Crossing world
  • @MsSaquilla
    Animal crossing: a cute, relaxing game Matpat: so the protagonist had a rare illness...
  • @cheesestick437
    Nintendo: releases a relaxing game for you to build your own town Matpat: *THE MAIN CHARACTER HAS A MENTAL ILLNESS * Nintendo: wait no-
  • @gecko9797
    "You can observe them in their houses with no repercussions" Wait until he learns about how the villagers yell at you for entering without permission in the first game lol
  • In New Leaf, it's possible for grumpy characters to ask you what animal they'd be if they were an animal. Thing is, if you answer them with what animal they are, they're quick to point out that they already are that. So. There ya go.
  • @forgelord4750
    Can we have an episode where they take a really depressing or disturbing film or game and reason why it is actually a happy kids game
  • @whalesharks
    as fun as this is..... its a japanese game. theyre all reverse gijinkas. its like when everyone lost their mind over hello kitty and dear daniel being "little girls" because most western pop cultures dont really do the whole gijinka thing, so we tend to overanalyze
  • @xX_r_Xx
    It's honestly crazy how MatPat can create a theory which random NPC dialog in Animal Crossing Wild World can completely disprove
  • @evandelle6315
    The actual game: the game developers just thought it was cute so they did it
  • Matpat: "Do you remember that guy from Florida who was eating faces." Me: "Do you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down?"
  • @lasercraft32
    I like how MatPat actually said "yeah its a game made for fun" after proposing his theory, instead of pretending its what's definitely happening.
  • But sometimes the villagers will say things like: "I maid this with my own paws" so they know they look that way
  • @HGWhitty
    Matpat : THEY ARE NOT ANIMALS! Nintendo : * sigh * here we go again...
  • @axolotlcow
    Normal people: cute game where you are friends with animals Matpat: M E N T A L I L L N E S S
  • @indiajade6039
    They do comment on your look! And its funny how in Wild World on the DS Lite there was an axolotl as a shrink that would come to town every now and then and teach you to express emotions. Even in Horizons the Islanders teach you how to express certain emotions. I’ve always had a suspicion that our character is living with a certain mental illness.
  • Seeing this theory legit made me concern over MatPat's mental health and sanity 🤣🤣🤣
