Protests and electioneering moving onto games Avatars being adapted Online gamers are finding ways to protest online. Apparently players are adapting their avatars in the game world of Animal Crossing: New Horizons to show their support for the Black Lives Matter movement in the real world: In "Animal Crossing: New Horizons," players are creating customised signs and clothing for their game characters that say "BLM" and depict symbols of "No justice, no peace". Anyone with access to a Nintendo Online account can host an online protest in the game; one such virtual protest was held on June 7. As there's a limit of only eight players allowed to be on another player's island at a time, interested players were directed to a site which put folks in line to gain access. When the player's turn came, they are given a special code needed to enter the island. The protest host made customised signs, pillows, and memorial photos, and carved out a special path and area on their island to hold the sit-in protest. https://fudzilla.com/news/gaming/511...ing-onto-games |
