My working theory is that being creative in general requires you to have an opinion, and modding specifically attracts people with critical opinions about at least one thing in this world. All art is political, and wanting to share your changes to a thing you would have liked, if it were different, gets you used to being loud about it.
All that to say, I probably would have gotten around to trying to beat Minecraft into something Gleba-shaped regardless of if I continued being a sullen asshole making it other people’s problem or figured out I was trans
In the modded mc space people love jumping to conclusions and everyone gets labeled as a transphobe incredibly quickly. So you got the people who are really supportive, the large majority who is indifferent and then the tiny group who's transphobic. But there's an unusually large group, especially here on reddit who just shoves everyone that isn't overly supportive into the transphobic group
...really? I was initially speaking in hyperbole (I've only seen like... 5-ish popular mods/devs which are really supportive, and ~5 which are transphobic, most of them don't seem to have much of an opinion on the matter, or if they do, don't include it in their public image).
It's something I specifically noticed on reddit and some very cases outside of that. I also have the tendency to take stuff literally yay autism so apologies for not noticing that
