2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.


I should not need to explain this one.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Endermen are famously inspired by the creepy pasta Slenderman.

Markus Pearson has a lot of problems, but I haven't seen anything to confirm that Endermen are born from racism. Everything mentioned in the image was just an unfortunate collection of coincidences.

(I'm researching this and found a funny comment about how Notch put Endermen in the game then immediately admitted that they were a horrible idea because their taking blocks disrupted normal gameplay.)

Yeah notch is a dick, but this might be a stretch. What color would you make endermen to make them visually distinct from everything else in the game?

If you edit the Enderman textures to have a PNG alpha channel, that's exactly what will happen.
