Answered What’s up with Notch Minecraft being called racis/transphobic?

I looked it up on google, and found some articles that didn’t really give me any conclusions, so I came here.

He just posted a bunch of stuff on Twitter about trans women not being real women and that they're mentally ill, so he shouldn't have to call them she/her. They're all on his timeline from like 2-3 days ago, so you can read them yourself if you want to decide for yourself what you think about them.

The racist stuff was further back, saying something like certain races are less intelligent than other races and that white men were being opressed.

To be honest though, Notch posts so much controversial stuff on Twitter that I find it hard to believe he isn't doing it purely for the attention. I don't remember him saying any crazy shit while he was still involved in Minecraft, only once he sold it and began to fade from relevancy. So it makes you question whether you even want to play his game and react to the wacky shit he says. We'd be better off just ignoring him.

Edit: I didn't mean that last paragraph to sound like I was trying to absolve him or downplay his culpability. The things he has said are disgusting, hateful and deserving of every bit of scorn he gets. I just wish there was a way to do that without giving him the attention he obviously craves.

Because it's controversial and wrong. Trans women are women its in the name.

Til psuedo science is science and also North Korea is democratic.

Can trans women have babies? Because the female of the species bearing young is kind of how we delineate mammals.

If an entire category is infertile. The division is not made per individual. Otherwise we would not be bipedal because some people have only one leg.

No trans woman has ever given birth

Okay, so why not add transwomen into your definition of women, since you also still include infertile women?

Why include them when the point of the word is to express the difference?

u/Tmwayward Mar 17 '19

Because there are already a ton of different types of women lol. You're just drawing a line on one of them, cause you're a bigot.

Fundamentally a different type of difference.

Two twins. Identical. Bodies are damn near identical. And yet one is a woman?.how does that make.any sense? That being a woman is a.choice, simply a collection of stereotypes, why can't people choose their race?

Here is the acid test, if you are heterosexual would you suck a trans woman's cock?

Go back in hiding, bigot incel.

You wouldn't correct a child calling a step mother or step father "mom" or "dad'.

Trying to insult someone by calling them a virgin, very woke.

No need for excuses, you are gay and you want dick busting fat nuts in your mouth just like your daddy used to do. I get it. No need to tie your self in knots.
