So, OK, we all know that Tom Nook is a bad kneecap-breaking debt-collecting raccoon and you will owe him ‘till you go six feet deep underground.



But what if I told you that Tom Nook really rules animals and not you?

Look for yourself.You arrive in an unknown town with no past history known to anyone, and Nook offers you a home. A WHOLE HOME. Not for free, actually, 'cause he’s not messiah, you know. But he offers you a part-time job to pay back some cash. You know why? Because he is bad and wants you to work for him? No. Because he doesn’t know who you are. Maybe you are a handy-dandy guy who could manage himself and went adventuring by own decision, or maybe you are a spoiled rich brat who’ve seen a mop only in a maid’s hands. You work for Nook to develop your skill of working for money to maybe buy some swag later and eventually pay off the house and become a complete resident of the town.And those animals? They don’t even have fingers. Nook offers them house, too, but they slack off their jobs and go entertain theirselves. They are too dumb to work. Yes, they are shaking trees, but they are too dumb to try to shake fruit trees to later collect and sell them. I’ve never seen everyone catch a bug with their net. They are just carrying them like it’s some fashion accesory. Same with shovels. Yes, they are trying to fish something, but they just drop that bobber into pond and wait for fish to catch itself.Eventually Nook demands them to even pay off their home or to leave, and there is no choice for animals. They don’t know how to make money. They only know how to eat fruits and how to give endless T-shirts for dumb tasks that you can perform for them. But, even with endless T-shirts, you can’t pay off your home with them.But why doesn’t Nook denamd YOU to leave? Because YOU ARE A HUMAN. You have the ability to perform every task in town. You buy swag in Nooklings, which belongs to Nook, and he makes a profit out of you. Eventually, on some debt collectors meeting, Nook can say “Hey, a human lives in my town. He can do anything, and I can make profit off him”. It’s dumb to demand you to leave, cause in this case Nook will be screwed - no one buying at Nooklings means no money.I sightly lost the thread of what I wanted to say in the beginnig, but I think you got the point. So, think for yourself.
