In a colorful life simulator Animal Crossing: New Horizons players need to keep track of their island and stably put things in order there. One of the troubles of any self-respecting island resident is annoying weedsthat sprout randomly in a variety of places. Harmful plants can be uprooted from the ground, and then use them to create new items or trade with other characters. However for some fans New horizons weeds have become a problem not only within the game, but also far beyond its borders.

The fact is that several communities on Animal crossing on a social platform Facebook. There, users discuss the game together, cooperate and share a variety of content. In short, they do the most ordinary things. But the whole fault was the fact that in English the weeds mentioned above sound nothing more than “Weeds“(Grass), and this word is often used for slang designation marijuana. Respectively, when people on Facebook mention unfortunate grass in the context of the game (for example, when talking about selling it), the administration of the resource hurries to delete unwanted messages and remind their authors about the rules of behavior established on the social network.

“They probably think that we are writing about drugs,” the author of one of the groups shared his thoughts.

It is noteworthy that the matter was not limited solely to weeds, and soon messages began appearing on the network stating that the platform applies similar censorship to messages that mention the cute duck Molly. The reason is supposedly similar – this word also marks prohibited substances.
