Squids. The most hated mob in Minecraft. For years, these peaceful mobs has been faced with discrimination from Minecraftians, for a certain Minecraft commentator expressed his hate for them, with his anti-squid propaganda, convincing a lot of Minecraftians that squids are evil, and that they are useless.
So I, an observer, wanted to see if these claims are true. I've set up camp near a squid pond, to study their mannerisms, and their behavior traits. Although I've noticed a moderate amount of derpyness between them, nothing about them suggested that they had malicious plans for world domination, or that they were immoral at all. In fact, the squids seemed like a happy bunch, just swimming around, telling jokes and stories, the children squid playing a game of underwater tag, and so forth. However, I wanted to see the origin of these claims, to see if they had any backstory to this.
I walked up to the squid pond, to meet and greet them, though the response from them was met with terror. Nearly all of the squids ran to the other side of the pond. Some of them were shouting, "OH NO! PLEASE DON"T KILL US!", while other responses were, "WE LIKE GOLD-ER I MEAN BUTTER ASWELL! WE'RE JUST LIKE YOU!", or, "WHAT HAVE WE DONE TO YOU TO DESERVE ALL THIS HATE?!". It took me at least an hour to convince them that I had no association with the anti-squid army. Afterwards, I asked them why I was met with that kind of response.
[i] "[i]It was a normal day. Just a few years back, I've lived in a different pond. Just me and my buds derping around and having fun. When this figure above ground, he just started walking towards us, like he was like in a war, ready to attack us or something. My other bros were too busy derping to noticed the figure, but when I looked at it longer, it had like some kind of yellowy shiny clothes, and some kind of yellowy shiny sword, and after it was very close to us, it was like, 'YOU DISGRACE TEH BWATTAH,' or something like that. I was confused, like what does that even mean? Then, the figure jumped into the pond and he-he...",[/i] the squid didn't finish the sentence because of his overwhelming sobs, though he caught himself afterwards. " [i]I was the only one left, and as the yellow person walked closer to, you know, but before he could do it, a group of like, green four legged things started to chase the yellow person away. I managed to escape to another pond, the one we live in now, filled with people like me, who had like the same experiences. That's why we're so scared of you guys."[/i]
I've talked with the other squids, who have provided similar traumatic descriptions of the invading humans , and I was appalled by them. How can we humans attack a certain type of mob, just because of what one certain person have said about them with his anti-squid speeches? Now I understand that we have to depend on all the other mobs for our food and resources, but to just relentlessly persecute these mobs, just to satisfy that person. This needs to stop. The extreme discrimination against these squids is not only illogical, but inhumane, especially because of how much we humans have evolved.
I am starting up a new organization, which I have dubbed, 'People for the Ethical Treatment of Squids(P.E.T.S)'. We all have to understand, that squids, like all the other passive mobs, are nice and caring. Nothing about them suggests that they are evil, nor that they are of no value, for they are our only source of ink. And besides, we humans are better than this, for we for so long have learned to get along with ourselves, so why should it stop there? No! We must rise up and stop the cruel treatment of squids! I hope that this topic will sway the minds of some Minecraftians, and to make light of this cruelty.

To all of you people who think Notch is still working on the game, he stopped working on Minecraft in late 2011. Get your facts straight and stop spamming his twitter about Minecraft updates.
" ...but before he could do it, a group of like, green four legged things started to chase the yellow person away.
Green 4-legged things?! Creepers?! They saved the squids! Yay! Long live the creepy guys (except for the fact they nearly destroyed my chest of diamonds)!
I salute you, it's like you just punched skydoesminecraft in the face.
Squids are epic with their derpy eyes and I miss flying land squids.
SQUIDS ARE AMAZING :D!

I don't know who this Sky guy is, or what the whole deal with 'bwattah' is, but what I do know is that squids are evil. First off, they never speak. The creator of this thread is attempting to spread a lie, a farce. Secondly, there have been many reported cases of squids leading adventurers to their death. In fact, I have been the victim of this myself. Once, when I was returning from a trip to my iron mine, I spotted a squid. Fooled by his derpy expression and erratic movement, I believed it to be a peaceful creature. I followed it up along the river, wondering if it would perhaps lead me to treasure or something like that. After a while, I heard a hissing noise. As I turned around, three creepers exploded in my face.
Squids are like the sirens of Minecraft. They trick adventurers near them, luring them into ambushes and into the depths of the sea. Their survival is not of ecological importance either - books and bookcases can be bought from Testificates, and black wool can be gotten from sheep. The squid have for a long while lead many a man into their death. Don't let it happen again. Take up arms, aand stop this horrid species from spreading further! Stop them before it's too late!
Stop with this blasphemous propaganda! That Squid had nothing to do with that creeper attacking you!

Blasphemy! You are probably one of SkyDoesMinecraft's zombies! That's what happens with those who don't have enough opinion, they end up cloning other opinions! I support P.E.T.S. and i love Squids! They never did anything bad to me, in fact, it is very calming to see them swimming freely, without fearing my presence, they know i won't do anything bad, as i need no Ink for my surviving measures!
And also, my favourite mob is the Villager, and they look like they evolved from Squids don't they? I mean, look at the size of the head!
Save Our Squids!

I kill them on sight because I love their ink.
Sweet, dark ink all over my body...
Sounds like a virus...
So are you with me?
