<p>The latest update for <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/animal_crossing_new_horizons">Animal Crossing: New Horizons</a></strong> has <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2020/04/bank_of_nook_reduces_the_interest_rate_in_animal_crossing_new_horizons">reduced</a> the interest on all savings accounts, <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2020/04/animal_crossing_appears_to_have_nerfed_tarantula_and_scorpion_spawn_rates">nerfed</a> bug spawn rates, and now the Redd’s statues appear to be causing a stir on social media.</p>
<p>Famous statues like Michaelangelo’s ‘David’ and the Greek sculpture ‘The Discobolus of Myron’ obviously feature, but their um…bits, are now more visible than ever thanks to next-generation Nintendo hardware. This has quickly become a major talking point on social media – with <em>some</em> players seemingly missing the point these are accurate portrayals of well-known artworks from the Classic and Renaissance periods.</p>

<p>As you can see, it’s ignited quite a bit of discussion. Some are standing by the statues as art, while others are <a class="external" href="https://twitter.com/bleuvlvt/status/1253843142916349958">voicing concerns</a> about them being on display to younger players and bypassing censorship.</p>
<p>As far as we’re concerned, these statues are works of art and we’re sure anyone who is at least familiar with Classic and Renaissance art will agree. <em>In saying this, tell us which side of the fence you are on in the comments down below.</em></p>
