i guess thats it for his image, in todays world of political correctness dictatorship. one wrong word and a shitstorm will hit you :(
some article content:
"Notch carved out one of the biggest success stories in gaming history after introducing the world to Minecraft, but since he retired from his game development studio Mojang, he's busied himself with being a prolific Twitter user. While he's always been something of a divisive figure on the social network - though that description could be applied to virtually every well-known tweeter - his latest comments on the topic of "mansplaining" have garnered a great deal of criticism, and with good reason.
"Mansplaining," a term used to describe an instance in which a man explains something to a woman in a patronizing or condescending manner, had its definition (which is established in the Oxford Dictionary, by the way) questioned by Notch, who replied to a tweet from German game designer Jennifer Scheurle to say that it is actually "designed to silence men via gender shaming."
Jennifer Scheurle
Let me make one thing perfectly clear: Mansplaining is a funny, but actually quite problematic and real issue. It silences women.
Markus Persson
No, mansplaining is a sexist term designed to silence men via gender shaming.
While Notch was accused of mansplaining the term mansplaining here, it was his following comments that raised the most eyebrows, in which he coined a female equivalent for mansplaining, which he titled "cuntfusing."
Markus Persson
Stop #cuntfusing the issue by dismissing my words with a derogatory term about my gender. …
Considering that the the portion of "mansplaining" used to infer that the term is only applicable to men is, err, "man," Notch's comparative term for the female equivalent of mansplainers being "cunt" is thoroughly indefensible. He then went on to insult another woman using the same word - though with the added caveat that she insulted him first - essentially turning his own personal corner on the Internet into a tire fire of women being met with the newly coined "#cuntfusing" hashtag, before stating that he's actually pro-feminist, guys! He 100% thinks "women and men have equal worth and should be treated as such," even after describing a woman as being "cuntfused."
