The DARKEST Depths Of The Minecraft Community…

He was responsible for founding the company that created the highest selling video game of all time coming from a family in which food on the table was never a guarantee the story of Marcus person better known as notch is one of raxter riches with him later becoming a

Billionaire by his mid-30s though as many of you might know for Notch that’s not where the story ended there have been several videos now covering this man’s supposed rise and fall with him being given the unfortunate moniker of the loneliest billionaire because for all of the money that he’s made for all

Of the friends that he has all of the parties that he attends back in 2015 only a short time after he sold Minecraft to Microsoft he was quoted as saying that he had never felt more isolated not only that but over the past few years his Public Image in the eyes

Of the very people who once loved this man and praised his name would take a sharp decline today his legacy has been largely erased from Minecraft but how did the founder of Minecraft get X filed from his own creation well as many of you might know Notch wielded Twitter in

A way that angered many of the game’s most vocal fans for years in the mid to late 2010s Notch would tweet out a series of posts many of them political in nature with the majority of these being quite unpopular takes he later noted in an interview that he thought

That people felt comfortable being sexist to men because they think they live in a patriarchy saying that sexist terms go both ways and arguing that you can’t have your cake and eat it too then in late November 2017 he posted on Twitter saying that it’s okay to be

White many people in response questioned who said that it wasn’t hours later he tweeted more posts relating to privilege and racism tweeting about these sorts of things on Twitter is only going to end in one way anger and Division and sure enough while many people agreed with

What he had to say others were very angered by his posts in the years since this kind of tweeting only became more commonplace with Notch claiming that there was an agenda against white people in December 2018 and later saying that people who were against straight Pride day deserve to be Shots by a

Photographer with a gun it appears as though he believes in some Q Anon theories and is infamously anti-trans going as far as the call being trans a mental illness and a delusion by all accounts it appears as though Notch is firmly on the right of the political

Isle he even once tweeted that people on the left need to wake up calling them evil now this might just be an anecdotal argument but at least from my experience observing the Minecraft Community the vast majority of them especially the most vocal members seem to be very much

Left-wing if you don’t believe me I dare you to spend five minutes on Minecraft Twitter and I’m sure you’ll see my points of course there are some notable exceptions as we’ll get into later on in the video but at least from what I’ve seen the ideologies of Minecraft’s most

Vocal fans are at severe odds with its creator for that reason you could draw parallels between the stories of Notch and JK Rowling both being creators of some of the world’s largest franchises but eventually being despised by audiences who otherwise love their properties I found this Reddit post

Written by Notch from seven years ago responding to a post on our slash out the loop regarding his online activity in this post Notch claimed that the moment that he sold Minecraft and earned more money than he’ll ever need things changed for him there’s now no incentive

For him to keep his mouth closed the man is a multi-billionaire so he and his family are sorted till long long after he’s gone he began tweeting about what was important to him voicing his opinions and he claims that people would privately tell him that they agreed with

What he had to say although they couldn’t publicly back him to notch he was a voice for the voiceless to others he was an ill-informed bigot Notch claimed that he wasn’t bigoted nor was he Miserable as many people believed instead he just didn’t care what people thought about him anymore at least not

As much nonetheless in 2019 after it was announced that Notch would not be invited to Minecon to celebrate the game’s 10-year anniversary it became apparent that Microsoft were trying to create some dis distance between themselves and the game’s Creator they also removed his name from The Game’s

Main screen the same year adding further evidence to the fact that Minecraft is no longer interested in being associated with the billionaire but the story of Notch is just the very tip of the iceberg in this video we’ll be taking a trip down memory lane to talk about just

A few of the most scandalous and controversial incidents in the Minecraft Community from some old-school controversies that happened more than a decade ago to this new Revival of the game which in itself is filled with a plethora of absolutely insane scandals and controversies no stone will be left

Unturned as we dive deep into one of the most controversial gaming communities of all time with that said let’s get into things so this one is going to hurt it is very early in the video for me to be talking about this kind of thing but I want to

Structure this video in terms of chronology so we’re going to start way back when and work our way up to the present day so because this one happened first we had to talk about it right now so let’s discuss Minecraft’s racist title translation this incident occurred more than a

Decade ago now when Minecraft was around the peak of its popularity because it was and even still is a global game people from all around the world were playing it and moyang the creators of Minecraft just didn’t have the capability to translate everything in it so what they did instead was allow users

To submit translations themselves this would turn out to be a grave mistake however as someone translating the game into Afrikaans changed the Minecraft single player button to include the n-word for very obvious reasons I will not be reading it off in this video but you already very likely know what it is

The identity of this prankster was soon found out and the head developer of Mo Yang Jens bergenstein announced on Twitter that this person was now banned apologizing for the incident this story doesn’t have too much else to it it’s a pretty open and shut case this dude made

The translation people found out about it he was banned from doing it again and he was never named so we don’t know exactly who this was but I stumbled upon this story during research for other parts of this video and I thought it was interesting enough to include it right

Here so we’ve already covered the creator of Minecraft we’ve spoken about his right at the top as well as his eventual Fall From Grace in the public eye but in between those two moments a lot went down in the Minecraft Community including the racist translation yes but

Also other incidents if you look on Google Trends you’ll see that Minecraft seems to have hit its peak of popularity between 2011 and 2015 which in itself is very impressive to have essentially maintained its presence as one of the top video games for four years not many other games can claim that however

Minecraft being one of the most popular games in the world meant that a loss of Revenue was being generated because of it we’ll get into a few more distasteful ways that people made money off the game laser in the video don’t worry but for now it’s time to talk about the meeting

Of the minds foreign take things back to 2014 during the peak of Minecraft’s popularity and people were absolutely obsessed with it it’s a cultural phenomenon now but perhaps even more so back then therefore people wanted to engross themselves in the world of Minecraft and the best way to

Do that is a convention however if you look deep back into the archives you’ll find that Minecon the most famous Minecraft convention that’s been running since 2010 was noticeably canceled that year for this reason people needed a Minecraft convention nicotine patch and this came in the form of the meeting of

The minds an event organized by Mr Kevin Roman this event cost upwards of 200 to attend and was held in both Long Island New York and also Orlando Florida now the Long Island event had plenty of Articles written about it after the fact so it’s where I collected most of my

Information for this portion of the video This research led me to the conclusion that this was essentially the dashcon of Minecraft if you understand that reference simply put this was a convention Shin that didn’t actually exist despite many people paying good money to attend the Orlando event on the

Other hand doesn’t have as many articles written about it but it does have this video uploaded by Steel stew which is just as heartbreaking as it is ever so slightly funny in a really messed up way I think it’s just the Minecraft Steve dancing to Bastille that really does it

For me I can’t help but laugh even if it is horribly unfair but I digress apparently tickets to the Orlando event only cost fifty dollars so much less than the New York one but still to some families this was devastating as far as I could find the organizer of this Kevin

Roman hired a model for the event who was not paid and a face painter who surprisingly was the Orlando event was held at the mellor room on Orange Blossom Trail promising costume contests and Playstation giveaways but supplied none of these refusing to give refunds to anybody the Long Island event on the

Other hand didn’t even have a venue it was supposed to be at the Marriott in Uniondale male but according to the hotel nothing was ever actually booked many parents whose children attended thought that this was a scam from the very start but as there were no follow-ups to this story at least none

That I could find were left with the unfortunate ending that these parents likely never saw their money back it’s after this time in the mid-2010s that the popularity of Minecraft slowly began to decline its user base were growing up many people found it to be cringe now grooming scandals from Minecraft

Creators were common and the content on YouTube grew stale but it’s no secret that in recent years Minecraft has seen a bit of a Resurgence in popularity many people pin this down to PewDiePie playing the game again in 2019 and repopularizing it though it has to be said that it’s re-emergence in the

Public eye was The Perfect Storm of many factors of course when the biggest YouTuber in the world plays your game there’ll be some Buzz about it but also there was a bit of a shift in how people played the game PewDiePie confirmed that he played the game again because he

Wanted to but he felt that in years prior people played the game because it was popular rather than because they actually liked it it would be financially beneficial to play Minecraft because it raked in views and therefore generated Revenue until it didn’t as much anymore and content vampires left

The game alone to search for other properties to suck the life out of by 2019 let’s plays in general were much less popular than they were five or six years prior and the people that only made Minecraft videos to generate money had to stop because the game was widely

Less popular than it was previously but PewDiePie’s let’s play reignited many people’s passion in the game or these years later and Minecraft was now for many people a source of nostalgia you can clearly see on Google Trends where Minecraft began to pick up again it was the exact same month that PewDiePie

Started his let’s play in June 2019 and so once more Minecraft was popular but old Minecrafters couldn’t exactly pick it up at the exact same point that they left off five years prior many were at this point off the internet or they hadn’t uploaded in years or they were

Canceled or their channels had stagnated or they were just sick of Minecraft and this opened up the door to a whole new generation of Minecrafters who bolstered by the pandemic a few months later made waves that we hadn’t exactly seen before some of these people were able to

Capture the lightning in a bottle created by PewDiePie of course I’m talking about dream and the other members of the dream SMP if you somehow don’t know dream or the other members of the dream SMP many of them are incredibly famous Minecraft creators and in honesty you could say that they’re

Almost too big for their own Goods over the past four years dream the most popular of these creators has amassed over 30 million subscribers and when you gain that sort of following everything you do say or think is placed under a microscope every single minute little

Detail can be subject to scrutiny and it often is so let’s discuss the never ending list of dream controversies I think that the best place to start is with one of his oldest controversies and perhaps his most well known the cheating scandal in late 2020 after a year of

Incredible growth for him Dream came under Fire for Cheating in a Minecraft speedrun if you’ve never heard the term before a speed run is a way of playing the game in which you try to beat it as quickly as possible in Minecraft whilst it does take a lot of skill the best

Runs often include a loss of luck and the people who moderate Minecraft speedruns notice something strange with dreams that being that he was consistently more lucky with loot drops than he should have been with the accusations being spearheaded by a mod called Geo squared they released a 29-page document surrounding their

Investigation and came to this conclusion the events that were observed on dream stream could not be modeled by any sensible conventional probability distribution after accounting for any contributors of bias the likelihood of this occurring is still unfathomably small there are no circumstances in a natural setting in which fostering and

Blaze drops could be dependent or biased to any notable degree much less to a degree strong enough to produce this result there is no way to accidentally manipulate these results in real time during an RSG Speed Run nor any conceivable way to do it intentionally only using conventional methods the only

Sensible conclusion that can be drawn after this analysis is that dreams game was modified in order to manipulate the Pearl barter and Rod drop rates the mods estimated that the probability of Dreams games happening were one in 177 billion those odds are unfathomably small they wouldn’t happen in a million years quite

Literally in a now deleted debunking video dream tried to deny that he had cheated even going as far as hiring a Harvard astrophysicist to check the maths claiming that while yes the probability was still small the original investigation was several billion of the actual probability dream claimed that

The actual chance he got the drops was roughly 1 in 10 million meaning that the chances he didn’t get them was nine million 999 999 out of 10 million meaning that the chance he was lying was 99.999999 percent as it turns out he was lying after the

Heat cooled down a few months later he would admit that he was wrong he claims that it wasn’t his intention but he was using a disallowed mod without being aware whether or not you think he’s lying I’ll leave that one up to you but this incident opened up the floodgates

For many more dream controversies to come in the future dream has since been accused of almost everything under the sun for example only four months later he came under Fire yet again this time for being a trump supporter as it turns out he had ties to a Reddit account that

Posted pro-trump and pro-conservative messages back in the late 2010s under a username r slash Lord laude as soon as this made its way to Twitter it was the subject of extreme criticism and dream had to respond he claimed that this was a shared account and that he didn’t make

Any of these posts except for potentially one about American football and the role that politics has to play Within it it would definitely make sense if he posted this one on as he claims that he only used the account to interact with fantasy football communities nonetheless dream did admit

That he was a bit more conservative when he was younger though he claims to no longer hold these views and is actually quite critical of his former opinions many people were suspicious of this though and regardless of what he said still believe that he is a conservative

As we know from Notch having right-wing views is not exactly popular within the Minecraft community and so it would be better for business to come out and say that you’re not on the right even if it’s not true add on to this that almost half of the United States voted for

Trump both back in 2016 and in 2020 and it leads me to the conclusion that no matter who you are it’s likely that a number of your favorite YouTubers streamers singers and actors voted for him at least once people are a product of their environment if you’re raised in

A conservative household in a conservative State the chances are you will be a conservative therefore it really doesn’t make sense to me why people feel the need to attack someone because of their opinions especially when you’re younger those opinions likely aren’t your own they might be your parents or your teachers or just

The people around you you also have to question does it matter probably not it’s not like dream goes about and pushes some sort of agenda on his child audience and even then you might make the argument that somebody’s politics is nobody else’s business than their own nonetheless this Revelation was likely

The reason that he deleted his Minecraft Manhunt video against Notch as I mentioned earlier Notch appears to be pretty hardcore conservative and while most of Minecraft cut ties with him in January 2020 dream recorded a video with him in which he had to hunt Notch down before he could beat Minecraft in the

Fallout of this after being called out by the twitch streamer Hassan for associating with Notch the video mysteriously disappeared going a few months forward in time now in June 2021 dream released a music video for his song mask which was widely panned by audience members dreams audience less

Let’s be honest is largely comprised of children and teenagers and so everything he does is going to be placed under extra scrutiny even if his content isn’t expressly targeted to them like say Stampy’s was having a child audience comes in the territory of playing Minecraft so you have to watch what you

Do and say in his mask music video however his character throws away his ADHD medication for clay the person behind dream he believed that he was better without his medication hence why he’s depicted as getting rid of it but this was a bit of a controversial point

Because many people thought that he was telling his audience largely comprised of children to throw away their medication which might not be the right call I personally believe that this was not his intention I don’t think that he realized that many people could view this as being quite dangerous but

Nonetheless this was yet more heat in a 2021 that was filled with controversy of a dream and this isn’t even to mention that the internet clowned on him for the song itself many people saw the lyrics As lacking subtlety and they thought they were all around we week others said

That the animation for the music video was weird and ugly and so the music video would be deleted only two and a half months after it was released now on to one that many of you might be waiting for if you know a lot about dreams controversies you might be expecting me

To talk about his grooming allegations which I will not be doing at least not in this video I’m quite sure that the details of this are not done coming out yet and it would be a complete disservice of me to accuse someone of something they potentially didn’t do or alternatively completely disregard the

Victim until more details come out it would be wrong of me to accuse anyone of anything until there is solid concrete proof so if you’re looking for me to touch on these allegations maybe at some point in the future I’m sorry to disappoint you but if something more

Substantial comes out I might talk about it at least for now not today what I will talk about however is people accusing dream of being racist these accusations have played eating for years now and there have been various instances where this has happened the earliest chronologically was an edit

That he made called MLG cooking with BBH which featured images of clan members a lot of people thought that this was finally it grounds to cancel dream forever open and shut case right of course no this video was made eight years ago back in 2015 dream himself

Would have been roughly 15 at the time and he’s since said that it was a joke which based off the title of the video we can probably assume that it was 15 year olds are notorious for making edgy jokes it doesn’t make it right but throwing the book at someone for

Something that they did eight years ago for a joke they made at 15 seems a bit harsh for Me Maybe Minecraft Twitter says otherwise maybe you’re of a different opinion yourself more power to you if you are but at least for me if you’re making a clan joke at 15 it

Doesn’t necessarily mean you’re going to put on a robe and start lighting fires in the woods Flash Forward a few years however and in August 2021 while playing a game of Minecraft dream lets out a victory Screech which some people thought to be a Native American war cry

A Twitter user named Tyler tweets about it and eventually it’s brought to dream’s attention and he goes wild in response saying that offender people can f off that he doesn’t care the war is inherently offensive because people literally die and that he can’t be offensive to Native Americans because he

Has native blood himself Tyler then came back and accused dream of trying to silence native voices trying to get out of it by saying that he’s native himself and overall downplaying the situation eventually dream would come back to actually apologize saying that he was blinded by rage and that he had made a

Mistake when he so callously told people to grow up and get a life because they were offended that he made a war cry in a game of Minecraft there was also a time that he used a Native American track in his Manhunt video called Navajo race which yet again sounded the alarms

As Twitter went to try and get him to apologize and this time he did without much of a fuss to all of these scandals mean the dream is some sort of unhinged racist well if you ask me no at least it’s not conclusive for me you’re going

To have to do better than a song and a war cry I don’t know dream personally and the chances are neither do you so unless I catch him with a Smoking Gun unless I find him putting on a ghost hat and going into the woods or watching a

Birth of our nation on Blu-ray I have to assume that he’s not or at the very least I can’t tell thousands of people who are watching this video that he is if I don’t have conclusive evidence is he maybe but these controversies are not enough for me to assume that he is

Something I am more certain of however is the disgusting manner in which many people acted after a member of the dream SMP tragically passed away this is something that I’ve wanted to talk about on the channel for a while now if you’ve been invested in the Minecraft community

Over the past two or so years you might know where we’re about to go with this it time to discuss the exploitation of technoblade’s death foreign technoblade he was a Minecraft Youtuber who passed away in June of 2022 he had just turned 23 as of the time that he

Died and was diagnosed with cancer just shy of a year prior in August 2021 now regardless of who he was and how he made people feel at the end of the day this was a young man not much older than myself who died a young man who had his

Entire life ahead of him I never knew him personally but I followed his cancer Journey throughout I watched the video in which she confirmed his diagnosis I watched his video when he said he almost gots his arm amputated because of the cancer and I watched when his father

Uploaded his very last video after he died this should have been a moment all about him it should have been but some people on the internet took it upon themselves to do something absolutely insultingly insensitive and that was to try and capitalize on the situation by click

Baiting his death for views and money and clout now I understand that just by me mentioning him in the video there might be some people who watch this that call me out saying it’s hypocritical though from my perspective this isn’t the case because one it’s been more than

A year now since technoblade’s passing it’s not near any big anniversary and it’s not exactly in people’s minds right now and number two I decided to admit him entirely from the title and thumbnail of this video so it’s very likely that you didn’t know I was going

To talk about him until just now however creators like it’s Owen decided to make up fake content to click bait people into watching his stuff right after technoblade died and his video Mr BEAST’s final goodbye to technoblade was the straw that broke the camel’s back this video appears to be the very last

Moments of Mr Beast and technoblade collaborating what it isn’t however is Mr Beast saying goodbye to technoblade this is just them playing video games together keep in mind that this video was fully monetized and the only contribution that it’s Owen had was to say that this was Mr BEAST’s final

Goodbye to technoblade which in itself was false people wanted to see statements and stories from his friends and other members of the community but were instead click baited by its Owen he knew exactly what he was doing it was a disgustingly egregious money grab and it was blatantly disrespectful a young man

Died way before his time and all this scumbag saw was money bags in his eyes what happened next though was perhaps the most satisfying termination in YouTube history as YouTube decided that for misleading the Minecraft community in a time of mourning it’s Owen’s Channel had to be eradicated and so a

Few days later its own’s channel was terminated this little weasel would go onto Twitter to complain but no dice his channel was gone for good and has never come back since do bear in mind that it’s Owen wasn’t the only one doing this sort of thing but his videos were the

Most infamous they got hundreds of thousands of views nonetheless there were many people who saw technoblade’s death as an opportunity a chance to ride the wave and thus making this horribly sad situation just that much more Bleak so that’s it for today I’m ending the video here if you want to carry on
