Our good pal Markus Persson has seemed extra unhinged over the past few days tweeting classic anti-semetic dogwhistles such as



with comments such as

and

But he just posted this and I personally think this takes the cake



The irony in this tweet is extremely palpable when you take into account that this dude is fucking loaded and set for life.

Is he right though? Is there an agenda against white men in media and society as a whole?

(might I remind you our dear buddy has close to 4m followers on twitter ;))

Only a group of people who are not being persecuted would believe they are being persecuted, because they have the freedom to never know what persecution looks/feels like. P.s Notch is a twat.

I'm glad he is nowhere near Minecraft anymore given what it's become. Like I'm sure he would have been pushed out of it by now if he'd stayed involved, but still.

Of course, he still needs to fuck off and stop spreading this vile garbage. But at least he can't influence kids in any way.

He's basically the definition of what would happen if a basement dweller incel became a millionaire.

Everyone knows gamers are the most oppressed minority. When video game companies add characters that aren't straight white men it's a personal attack on all of us. Gamers, rise up. Don't let this white genocide stand!

not meaning to nitpick, but I'm genuinely confused by this. Wouldn't the people who actually know what being persecuted feels like also rightfully be able to believe they are being persecuted?

I remember in the other place when everyone was rallying around him when he got his billions and bought his opulent house... I was baffled at the time. To me, it was a sign of what that guy was really about. Everyone wanted to give him time to prove himself. Boy, has he ever...

Anything that isn't about white men or is even the slightest bit critical of them is an agenda against white men to these fucking shitbirds. Casting a black person as the lead in a movie is an agenda against white men. Black folk being excited because of the aforementioned casting is an agenda against white men. Women fighting back against sexual abuse is an agenda against white men. White men not talking about how great white men are 24/7 is an agenda against white men.

Spare a thought for the plight of the poor white male billionaires, the REAL victim of society.

when you're a white rich man and no one will call you on your bullshit IRL because of it, so you spiral harder and harder into paranoia and delusions, eventually culminating in seeing threats everywhere and buying into the most ridiculous bullshit because you've completely lost touch with reality a decade ago

Yeah Notch, there is. The agenda is to make white men wake the fuck up and stop hiding behind moronic braindead ignorance like you are doing right now. Fuck off to hell. I'm ashamed of the fact that we are from the same country.

Meh, money doesn't make someone happy which was a sentiment I applied to him back then. He seemed like the typical Swedish nerd; lonely but somewhat competent and in this case economically rewarded for it. Doesn't change the fact that he is lonely. Now, of course, it turns out that he's a giant piece of shit on top of that, but hey!

There is no agenda against white men. There is kind of an agenda FOR people other than white (straight) men because those demographics have been oppressed and/or ignored by white (straight) men for the better part of history in large parts of our societies. And when the playground isn't exclusively meant for white men only anymore but others are allowed to join the fun, to fragile, snowflake white bigots & idiots, a more equal society might seem oppressive when you lack any sense of perspective.

Man it kills me that he made one of the most wonderful games for children to explore and create things in, and holds such scumbag views. Like I really wish it was "Minecraft is a great game for children, and the person who made it is a wonderful individual too!" Instead it's just milkshake duck.

Imagine being a billionair. You can do whatever you want. You can realize most of your dreams. You can make people around you happier. And you decide to be a whiny little pos raciste alt-right nerd, crying on Twitter about how white men are opressed.

It's sad to see that someone that is able to create something as awsome as Minecraft, which has connected millions of people and given a platform for children all over the world to unleash their creativity, is such a close minded bigot. It's old news, but still depressing.

There's no agenda against white people, but social media has certainly created more (deserved) discourse about white identity politics, and I guess that rubs some sensitive people the wrong way.

Notch is a bitch tho
