Girl Confused About Why the Girl Clothes on Animal Crossing Cost More, So She Wrote to Nintendo

Sometimes the smallest questions expose the biggest double standards. In Animal Crossing, one kid noticed that the girl clothes cost more than the boy clothes, and that did not sit right with her.

Her mom shared the story online after her daughter decided to write directly to Nintendo about the pricing difference. The situation is funny, but it also taps into a real conversation about how gendered pricing shows up in everyday life, even in a game about cute animals and island living.

Nintendo got a very pointed letter, and the internet had plenty to say about it.

Kids are incredibly perceptive; they just need to be encouraged rather than have their creativity stifled!

Oakley's mum, Ashley, told Bored Panda:

“Oakley is a very strong-minded young lady who is aware of and empathetic toward the social issues we share with her and allow her to be exposed to. She has a keen eye for injustice and isn’t afraid to point it out, as my husband and I are very outspoken about things we see as wrong.”Raising Brain on Facebook
