@MinecraftWikiEN And then, Notch went mask-off, retroactively making the entire series morally questionable to support (no, the fact that he sold it away is irrelevant as he's still the original author, and no, Miku is not the author either)
There is no politics in the game. Your task is to survive alone is cubic world, no one even talks. I think that whoever is the original creator is irrelevant.
There are multiple splashes that appear on the title screen that may be considered political

@kilgore_trout I'd usually say that, but then there's the entire issue of the villagers still being a vague stand-in for Jewish stereotypes (and then, to make things worse, said stereotypes then rubbing off to the Piglins in the Nether).
Why would the original owners beliefs affect the morality of supporting a series of games that hes not benefiting from?
They even removed all mentions of notch and added pro-trans splashes
@RandomVideos They should have also removed all the code and artwork he contributed to the project as well (which is to say, the project should have been taken out of the market). Otherwise it's merely pushing the controversy under the rug.
Why would touching anything ever created by a controversial person be considered morally wrong?
@RandomVideos Because it still platforms the person, even if indirectly. You might remember the slightly wonky paintings made by a certain Austrian painter that plagiarized Chaplin's mustache, right?
But minecraft removed all references (that i know of) to notch
How would supporting a game paltform its creator if they are no longer involved with it
And how would removing all the assets and code made by that creator fix the issue?
