was gonna make a post about The Character but then i looked at my dash for 5 seconds and it would appear that everyone is also having the same experience so
the thing is people often talk about how minecraft steve is the most whitewashed character since jesus christ but never does anyone discuss how they’re perhaps the most misgendered character ever
steve (alongside all the other default skins, for that matter) are referred to with they/them and with gender-neutral language by the developers!
i think the most interesting part is that steve (and the others, mostly alex) are constantly misgendered by not just fans, but official minecraft content itself. merch, social media posts, etc will often refer to steve with he/him, and alex with she/her, although sometimes they seem to omit pronouns entirely. the developers, though, have seen them as genderless since basically the beginning
before notch became who he is today, he posted about gender in minecraft, ending it with:
and in an interview with lydia williams, she talks about how she was corrected on steve’s gender (presumably by her coworkers at the time):
and again, in the latest skin-related video, both steve and sunny are referred to solely with they/them. the developers seem pretty set and comfortable with the genderless nature of the player characters, which makes it really confusing as to why the rest of the branding ignores that fact entirely
if you're on instagram get off that thing and go outside
if you're on tumblr hold fast and keep scrolling soldier
As an alternative to 'sugar, spice, and everything nice'
I present: 'salt, vinegar, and everything sinister'

*covered in blood & in visible distress* i just need to write a list
Hi, 8 billionth "not back yet" post but.
For my own comfort, and for the chance of me ever coming back, i will be privating/deleting all my trolls related posts. this includes asks, drawings, textposts, litterally anything related to trolls. Theres a possibility that, with these posts gone, I may feel more comfortable returning in the future, but either way i just dont want them here anymore. i hope yall understand. okay bye

The minecraft movie should have been a minimal-dialogue indie film with heartwrenching soundtrack about a man utterly alone learning to survive in a strange world not remembering anything of his past and his future is up to him to build.
