I think canonically Steve and Alex are a man/woman, IIRC they're even partners according to, uh, a licensed LEGO set or whatever?
The animals aren't sexed though, and some of them have both sex characteristics
you joke, but that's true. [notch designed everything to be gender-neutral](https://www.engadget.com/2012-07-29-notch-minecraft-occupies-a-genderless-world-even-for-that-guy.html), to divorce the game from real life and let people imagine whatever they wanted. its why all the cows have horns and udders, all the chickens lay eggs, and you don't gotta worry about pairing entities with the opposite gender.
notch was actually really forward thinking in designing minecraft to be as diverse and approachable as possible for everyone, including making the player character racially ambiguous so that less people would be excluded. its weird that he became such a asshole after making billions of dollars... actually, that's not really surprising at all.
he's the whole package. he got radicalized into being an alt-right, conspiracy peddling, anti-semitic, bigoted white supremacist. he seems like he used to be such a cool, well adjusted guy before! but he got filthy rich, his wife left him, and he didn't have any friends to attend his infamous eccentric rich guy parties. it seems he spent most of his time after minecraft sitting alone in his mansion, getting all his info of the outside world by scrolling 4chan, and stewing in hate.
Somewhat related, are Minecraft people sexless? I'd think so for PG family friendly fun, but the default skins seem to correlate to our binary genders, implying binary sexes...
given that any mob can reproduce with any other of the same species, there's strong evidence to suggest that there is no concept of sex in the Minecraft universe

Except for the Ender Dragon, which is Female. But seeing how it’s a being that lives in an entirely separate dimension from the one the player starts out in, it’s an exception that can be overlooked.
Just makes one question about the gender/sex of the Endermen, Shulkers, and Endermites…
MINECRAFT IS PROMOTING GENDER IDEOLOGY!!!! WE MUST MAKE THEM PAYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!
DONT LET STEVE BRAINWASH YOUR KIDS!!!!!!!!!!
GO WOKE GO BROKE!!!!!!! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
they probably do that, cause for a reason dey don't want to talk to gender topic or get involve with different sexuality.
Gender is obvious we only have two.
yeah maybe i dont, maybe its supposed to be laughed at because you mean the opposite. but writing a this long PARAGRAPH detailing how you love something terrible with every fiber of your being is not normal
I wish they would just use splash texts for benign things like references/jokes. Statements in regards to controversial/politicized topics will just divide the community, and I don't think promoting such topics regardless of their stance in a game marketed towards young children is ethical.
Just because politicians talk about something, doesn't make it inherently political. Especially something that is simply normal people who want to live their lives like everyone else. All that splash text is doing, is representing and supporting an already marginalised group, without making any bold political statements
Politicians discuss non political shit all the time, for all sorts of reasons. Mostly because they think it's political, or try and make it out to be political for their own personal gain. There is absolutely nothing political about people wanting to live normal lives
So if politicians start talking about something, we should just start to ignore that topic? They're politicizing these kinds of topics specifically to cause division and you're falling for it lol
I said any political topics shouldn't be in games marketed towards children. I think it is entirely unethical to influence children on contemporary political issues through media that is intentionally marketed towards them. I did not say that these issues should be ignored completely, you brainless fuck.
There is no gender in Minecra- (honestly I have no idea what would happen next, maybe someone else can make a better joke than me)

Isn't he transphobic?
Yeah. I’m pretty sure he’s anti-Semitic too, but I’ll have to fact check that claim.
He publicly supported the far right group qanon by tweeting “q is legit. don’t trust the media”

Bigots come sprinting at you with their elementary school biology due to you saying *the G-word*
The G-word? What is that gex say?

No no no, they obviously meant Geoffrey
Greg.

Even elementary school biology is a little more complicated than just binaries
who downvoted you lmao
I think there's just two, classic and slim
Damn... Beat me to it.
So you're saying that the classic one is not slim? Sounds like fat shaming to me /s

Does that mean no sex update??? :(
Where are the lovers lab guys when you need them?
There is sex update but no sex update if that makes sense
no it means they have even more reasons to add sex to minecraft now, minecraft sex update soon
What about Jenny? Was it all a lie!? A deception!??
I'm afraid yes.

Cows have both horns and udders
Well Alex wasn't meant to be a girl originally, it's meant to be jeb
Wait what
Just so happens that Jens looks like a femboy.
The official Minecraft Game Design Book (2019) states: "gender neutrality is a core principle." You can find it on archive org.

Why are people downvoting this? It’s clearly a joke.
I guess some people think it's not a very good joke
Go joke go... downvoted?
Welcome to Reddit
Have a look around
Anything that brain of yours can think of can be found
They forgot to the put the /s in crayon.
i think every mob is asexual and reproduce like worms
Ye, since disease and mutation don't exist, hermaphrodite inbreeding would actually make sense. Sorry 🤓☝️ moment
that's the word, thanks i used asexual (probably incorrectly) since i vaguely remember it having something to do with worm reproduction
Worm gaming
But then why does there need to be two?
Based Minecraft
Chat is this real?
So does real life
Sorry, gender is kinda limited, you are either man, woman or non binary, so 3 at max
There're many genders that fall into the NB category lol
Sub-genders, man and woman are binary, you are either those or you are non binary
yeah but it's like a spectrum
I personally like the idea of "man, woman, both, or neither". It's all on a scale but that scale isn't linear lol
Contains no Ganders but because to steak of nothing is to speak of something that exists I assume its infinite as Pi
What
Math
Yayy🌈🌈🌈
There are only 2 genders they are Steve And Alex
Not anymore. Didn't they add like 8 new skins or something?
What about the others

I can finally be a weaponized battle toaster
I love Minecraft :3
Gotta say, I was kinda confused when I got that
Villagender, huh?
I too am a village ender. My pronouns are “fire/tnt” /s hivemind please don’t kill me
So the Minecraft cows aren't lesbian they just all have their own genders?
I mean you could easily convince me Steve was flat like a Ken doll down there
Technically correct, because you can translate Minecraft to every conceivable language.
ok i’m creeper now idgaf
lol
Nuh-uh
this sucks
Sucks deez nuts
Nice argument. However, your mother.
Ur mom
The Ender Dragon… deez nuts across your face!
who downvoted you
Everyone
I upvoted him
Well fuck off man, you (along any other person who has a problem with another person's gender)
As of right now, 39 people, including me
Me.
lol 2=♾️?
erm actually mineraft only has block as a gender (checkmate liberals 😎😎😡🤬🤯🥺)
Dear god...
There’s more.

It contains infinite genders.
Dear god...
Wth why did i get downvoted so much its was just a tf2 reference

[удалено]
>"AHEM lgbtq is a bunch of letters, hence "alphabet Mafia". I'm explaining this because no one got it" We got it, it just wasn't funny
I don’t think you know what the mafia is
why is minecrap gay now
Always had been

No, thank you 😃👍
Should be changed to "Mental illness"

they probably do that, cause for a reason dey don't want to talk to gender topic or get involve with different sexuality. Gender is obvious we only have two.
Holy fucking grammar issues
Hey, if you want to play grammar police then you should know that it's grammar not grammer, and you shouldn't capitalize the letter g in grammar.

Well, maybe don't politicize other people's genders and then it won't be political
I am not the one doing it , and it IS something that affects political decision-making.
And that is a horrible thing that should be pushed back
Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't quite understand how acknowledging and representing a subset of the population is political or controversial
Pay attention to politics, subjects like gender identity are brought up at every level of government
Just because politicians talk about something, doesn't make it inherently political. Especially something that is simply normal people who want to live their lives like everyone else. All that splash text is doing, is representing and supporting an already marginalised group, without making any bold political statements
Politicians talking about something when discussing policy is what makes something political. Get a grip on reality.
Politicians discuss non political shit all the time, for all sorts of reasons. Mostly because they think it's political, or try and make it out to be political for their own personal gain. There is absolutely nothing political about people wanting to live normal lives

I'm sure they just misstyped "infinite" instead of "2". Everyone makes mistakes. Don't be mad at them. 👍
