The only feminine thing I can potentially identify in Saharah is that they have long eyelashes. Even granting that benefit of the doubt though, it flummoxes me why Saharah’s gender was changed as well. Of course we should also keep in mind that this is a giraffe, not a human woman. Gracie dresses and acts femininely, and it would have been more socially acceptable at the time for a woman to be a fashion designer. I can ostensibly understand why Gracie was changed to a female upon localization of the first game. To be fair, both of these characters were in the original Gamecube game back in 2002, and the world was a less accepting place than it is now. This is because both of these characters are originally male, but were changed to female during western localization. You’ll notice that I’ve been using the gender neutral “they” to describe both characters. When first introduced into the series, they would give the player special flooring, but they have since been upgraded to also give the player wallpaper. Saharah the camel, on the other hand, does appear in New Horizons.

Gracie is a giraffe fashion designer in the series who often asks the player to complete various tasks to earn a piece of clothing from their own collection. Those who started playing Animal Crossing with New Horizons may not know Gracie as they are not currently in the game. Gracie and Saharahįinally, we come to the characters of Gracie and Saharah. If the localization team is making edits to appear more inclusive though, they’ve got some explaining to do about Gracie and Saharah. It is worth noting in this specific instance however, that the localization team is somewhat limited by the original script. It’s sort of a one foot in the door situation that can leave both parties unhappy and tends to indicate creators are trying to play it safe rather than standing up for the LGBT+ community. If you’re unfamiliar with the term “queerbaiting,” it effectively means that the creators of a specific piece of media have decided to drop hints that a character or characters in question may be LGBT+, but refuse to outright state it to avoid offending anyone.

While the fluidity of the player character is an obvious win for many in the LGBT+ community, the relationship between Flick and CJ, if intended to be romantic, is basically queerbaiting because of how much it is up to interpretation.

It does then become a little difficult to interpret their partnership as a professional one. They both act independently from one another. CJ’s word choice still seems very ambiguous to me, but it’s true they’re not running a business.ĬJ is a streamer and Flick is an artist.

It wasn’t until I saw the discourse about their relationship start to pop up online that I considered interpreting what CJ had said differently. He meant something akin to a business partner in my mind. The sticking point comes from CJ’s use of the term “partner.” When I first read this, I did not even remotely think that CJ meant “partner” in a romantic sense.
