    At this point, I’ve stopped using the word “privilege” with White people and with other men because they deliberately misinterpret it as a way of dodging the conversation and I now use “circumstance” instead.

    I tell them, by matter of circumstance, they were born White straight males. Due to hundreds of years of systemic racism and colonialism and thousands of years of misogyny and homophobia, they have social advantages that are verifiable and quantifiable.

    These advantages forced a social hierarchy onto people that places White straight males at the top and only members of those groups: White, straight and male can dismantle the specific sources of oppression coming from their groups.

    Stop talking to us about experiences you’ve never had. You’ve never been denied employment, housing, healthcare, your humanity or any other social metric because of your Whiteness, your maleness or your heterosexuality. Either help us right these wrongs or go get a swastika tattoo and be with your team.

      Dumbass trolls,

      Whataboutism is a pointless waste of both of our time. Google is right there. Get to it.

      If there’s one thing whites love its deflecting through semantics. They love not taking any responsibility and ignoring the true history of why things are the way they are now.

    As a former professional gamer and major LEGO enthusiast, Minecraft is trash. It’s ugly, uninspired and lazy. I didn’t get it when my students raved about it and I don’t get it now.

    This dude being ignorant has no real change on my opinion of the game, but let’s send him to trash city where he belongs.

    Minecraft should have been canceled years ago.

      You guys do realize that Notch hasn’t been involved with Minecraft for over 2 years right? Microsoft purchased it from Notch and his old company for around 2 billion dollars. So saying it’s “time to quit Minecraft” literally makes no sense.

      Well minecraft is irremediably associated with his name. Talking about it might at least force Microsoft to make an official rebuttal of his comments (probably only “he’s not associated with us and his view doesn’t reflect ours” but still).

    Ever since he sold Minecraft, he’s been this sad bastard with too much money and a house he doesn’t need (Beyonce and Jay-Z tried to bid on it) and doesn’t do anything anymore. All he does is whine on Twitter 24/7.

    His place has a candy area, and he doesn’t eat candy so now he has all these expired sweets on the walls. Kind of a metaphor for his life.

      I’m gonna guess he thought he’d be holding a lot more parties then he actually is. Excluding coked up escorts of course.

      Hmmm.....

      Not that the internet is the place for wild speculation but that does look like a trap a pedophile would set.

      Just sayin’.

    It is okay to be white Persson (no pun intended), as none of us were able to choose the color we wore when we entered this world.

    What’s not okay is to place blinders onto the fact that being born white does give one social and economic advantages by default.

    If you struggled and suffered to become the successful businessman that you are, kudos for your perseverance. Just be mindful that your “starting line” was still miles ahead of PoC.

      NEVER say this to a mediocre person that thinks they have a life you should aspire to. When they know that you know that everything they’ve accomplished boils down to them getting in those slots because they have ivory skin and blue eyes, the whiteness JUMPS OUT.

    Notch has been a shit human being for some time now. I’m glad Microsoft bought the game away from him.

      I really don’t recall a time when he wasn’t just another silicone-valley-type bro.

      He’s dog whistling to white nationalists because he almost certainly is one - he just lacks follow-through.

      That’s the thing, for a few years he’s been less “whistling” and more dog yodeling. There have been racists and homophobic rants all over the place, especially since he sold Minecraft and doesn’t know what to do with himself besides white it up.

    Oh, we’re definitely canceling MineCraft, and Notch. Besides, Sims 4 is my new jam anyways:

      Don’t bother. Microsoft bought Minecraft a few years back, and the monkey’s paw Notch wished on for that deal took away his ability to be anything other than a miserable shit.

      Also a Living Single Sims sounds awesome.

    Notch has always been a massive cunt who likes to stir shite alone and act like he’s edgy or non-conformist.

    He’s put out anti-feminist and LGBT+phobic tweets before for the attention as well.

    https://www.bleedingcool.com/2017/07/01/minecrafts-notch-makes-terrible-tweets-tries-run/

    Between him and PewDiePie they’ve managed to badly damage Sweden’s rep as a nice place.

    *creates a hugely successful video game, sells it to Microsoft for a gazillion dollars, promptly give the fuck up, wallow in your own misery in a big house no one comes to, have wealth and access beyond most people’s wildest dreams yet still imagine you’re the persecuted, say racist things and have communities fall over themselves to excuse your bullshit*

    ...Yeah, in his quest to prove white privilege isn’t a thing, he proved the exact opposite.
