here's my take on the afro puffs / space buns situation, as a person of color (thread):

are afro puffs and space buns the same thing? no. afro puffs in animal crossing are textured to look like 4c hair, and space buns are usually worn with straight hair. but does this mean that white people can't use the afro puffs hairstyle in animal crossing? no lmao

it's a video game. you spent the money on it, you can use it however you want. there's no point in yelling at random people on the internet to not use certain hairstyles. it isn't "appropriating culture" or "micro-aggresions" or whatever else you want to call it.

it isn't real. no one is being hurt if a white girl wants to use afro puffs on her animal crossing character. it literally doesn't matter. there are much bigger problems that we should be focusing on. end of thread
