Highly unlikely aspects of Animal Crossing New Horizons began to trend all over Twitter. It had no bearing on the actual game, but more to do with the few members of the community. Recently, several community members were spotted sharing a rather amusing joke that made fun of the franchise’s name. This simple joke quickly became the centre of major controversy as some members accused more prominent content creators of stealing them.

It is nearly impossible to pinpoint from exactly where it all began, as there is no concrete evidence of its origin. However, the joke was pushed into the limelight because of individuals who have amassed a larger audience.

Following the massive drama on the social media website, another popular content creator, Annabel, explained the recent events.

This quickly turned into a massive banter between the community members, as fans shared the joke repeatedly. No matter where you stand in this controversy, but stealing content without offering due credit is a serious crime. It takes a lot of effort, time, and expertise in the particular field to come up with an original content piece. Blatant theft of intellectual property, be it a seven, a simple joke still amounts to as a crime. Although, the modern era of content creation has definitely changed, as creators have popularized unoriginal formats of content creation.
