When I play MineCraft, I hop on to have a good time, expand my world, think of new productive ways of doing things. If I want politics I will actively search for it. Today, I logged on and was greeted with “Educate your friends on anti-racism.” To some people this seems perfectly acceptable. I, like 99.9999999% of people in my country believe racism to be despicable. But the problem with this is that they’re injecting political propaganda into their game. Anti-racism is nothing more than a tool for the radical left to promote, ironically enough, identitarian beliefs. It assumes that people ARE racist, when reality is that there is an incredibly small population of people who believe that others are inferior because they look different. Mojang, stop this political crap. The only thing that I’ll educate my friends about anti-racism is that it’s stupid because we know the overwhelming majority of people aren’t racist. If you keep promoting radical leftist ideology, I’ll drop the game. That may sound stupid coming from one guy, but this sort of stuff doesn’t appease anyone except the few people who will then just demand more. They don’t care about you, they don’t care about your game. They care about their machine. Stand up to this crap. Grow a spine and quit selling out to these people.
Best to look for another server if it's not the type of environment your looking for. Just seems like a certain group of the fanbase when playing a popular video game.
I've only come across the US votes and other matters from a while back with some popular mods having notices to them (and a few mods to remove that stuff) but otherwise I've never come across anything like that as I play SIngleplayer or certain servers in the modding community.
I wasn't aware of Mojang's political views, although it is true that there are leftists who will virtue signal everyone who doesn't agree with their views and that's one of the reasons why they're having a tough time winning elections, not because of voter fraud as some of them like to claim. They will assert you're bigoted just because you said something they didn't like even when a slur wasn't even used, which is pathetic. Also a lot of them tend to engage in language and thought policing.
I understand but the difference between that and the actual game is Mojang actively writes these messages to clearly convey something. The mobs are a game mechanic, the messages are virtue signaling.
If you don’t understand how anti-racism isn’t political propaganda, I encourage you to simply look it up. It’s a way for the radical left to get what they want by making you “engage” in anti-racism. Reality is that these sorts of things are identitarian and part of the critical race theory bs.

Maybe Mojang should have given the message "racism is dumb" instead of “Educate your friends on anti-racism”.
I realy don't care about politics. Minecrafts starting screen is not a good choice when it comes to spread propaganda.
And i can't see anything radical in that message.

Hi Liam, generally when I see a racist I would assume that a lot of this belief comes from biased education from their family when they were growing up. However, your opinion here can't come from any sort of bias. It takes a special kind of person to have carefully packaged yourself in this level of ignorance. I live in Massachusetts, possibly the most left states in the entire US. Massachusetts hasn't voted for a republican in 44 years. And yet, even in this state, I've seen blue lives matter flags in my neighbors lawn. Racism is all around us, and I'm incredibly disappointed that anyone would genuinely believe racism has almost entirely disappeared. I hope you become a less ignorant, or at the very least quieter person in the future.

"Political propaganda"
I guess you really do see what you look for.
I wouldn't read too much into the start screen greeting messages, unless they get realy problematic.
The piglins for an example are game content. They will bully you, if you don't wear any golden equipment.
That is of corse not a political thing.
But i am someone who got bullyed becouse of cloathing in the past and i don't see why that would be a problem to the game.
It's just a block game.
Also: we care for the game!

This wasn’t on a server, otherwise I wouldn’t mention it, this was on the starting screen.

"Oh nooo, the Radical Left!" Sounds like what my grandpa would have said during the second Red Scare, and what his said in the first.
