Remove political propaganda please #2127

Closed Maxwelljones closed 2 years ago

Maxwelljones commented 3 years ago

Hi there,

I am not related to anything political in the USA. I live about 5000km away and I personally let you take care of your own governement. I have enough worries in my own country.

I have a problem though when this kind of political stuff appears on loading my modpack for everyone playing it, doesn't matter the location, which is in my eyes very wrong.

Please do remove this it's really annoying. Mods are videogames and should do politics. Please keep that for your twitter or whatever social account you have. Most of the planet don't care who you elect.

@FireController1847 I understand one would like to help people to grow, get involved in whatever cause he'd like to support, saving the dolphins, exploring space, helping people in need.. It's fine to do it in your own social media twitter, fb, ig, whatever.

Here it's a minecraft mod, the propaganda shows up at every mod update, and whenever a modpack is updated if the mod-packer isnt clever enough to include the specific file in his pack.

I don't understand why someone would try to use a mod to push their own political opinions. Politics and videogames targeting kids that are between 6 and 13 is a really bad mix. They can't vote and have no clue what it politics means.

@Maxwelljones My apologies. I read more into the incident and I retract my statement. Besides, all of this is for a mute point anyways. The author made a choice, he's not going to revert it.

This is a duplicate of #2093

When I saw the vote message when I started up the game, I was fuming. Because I'm 16 and can't vote. As I said in a direct message to someone. "Yes saying to vote is one thing, using your modpack to say to vote for a specific person is another. But it's right and wrong at the same time. I don't need this bs in Minecraft." While I am very political, which one can vouch for me, I am sick and tired of this bs. Entering gaming, "YouTubers, Songs, and Shit is another thing."
