One of the most problematic parts of this horrible game is the ability for players to upload their own "skins" – essentially, each player can create a character for themselves in simple photo editing apps such as photoshop. This means that the selection of characters is limited only by the players' imaginations. On the surface, this seems to be a positive of the game, but it turns out that it is not.
This unlimited customization dangerously blurs the boundaries of gender and sex, and, especially considering the predominantly young player base of Minecraft, can be very confusing in terms of gender. One of these confused young people is my son, now 21 years old, who, it turns out, had been using the default "girl" skin of Minecraft, often shown in marketing alongside a more fitting masculine character. While this is not concerning on its own, having done so since the age of 11 will surely have contributed to his gender confusion.
Ever technically minded, my son set up a multiplayer server to play with his boyfriend when they were 14 years old and just started dating. Unfortunately, due to Minecraft's neglectful failure to include any filters or safeguards against dangerous and confusing ideological statements, it served as a funnel for the two of them to encourage each other in their "transitions." Yes, that's right – my son's boyfriend is also gender confused. What's worse is that these two, who are perhaps the worst possible people for each other, are engaged to get married in a "lesbian" wedding later this fall. I, of course, was not invited. Heaven forbid I try to save my son from his horrible confusion.
First blames the game for being single player, "if only she had played with the chuds online they would have shamed them into never coming out of the closet". Then says their daughter did set up a multiplayer server but because the game has no moderation (a complete misunderstanding of the game's infrastructure and how such a task could even be accomplished short of banning all chat directly, which wouldn't even work because out of game chat and voice clients still exist) and now "oh no the trans activists were waiting for a random Minecraft server with innocent child to pollute their minds with the thrill becoming a woman, and no I never supervised their play sessions, I was busy watching my own shows".
The whole thing screams the child is my property how dare it make decisions that I disagree with for their best interest. No I will not even talk to my child about what their going through they should just suck it up and get over it like we did in my day.
